I'm soaping and realized I'm 4.5 oz short of Palm Oil. I have coconut, olive, shea butter, shortening and glycerine on hand. Can I replace the palm with any of the above? I already have my lye water mixed? Help Please!

I think I'd go with the shortening as well. Just plug the numbers into soapcalc to be sure your lye amount is correct. You may need to adjust your superfat % to get the lye/water ratio the same as what you've mixed.

Since your lye water is already mixed, you will need to play around with soap calc to get the same amount.

Thanks for the responses. I used shortening and the soap is beautiful!
