I have been purchasing the Palm oil in a 50lb block from Bulk for many years. Bulk is my main supplier for my base oils/butters. I have never had any issues and I absolutely love how quickly I receive my supply orders. Shipping is quick. The price of the 50lb block is hands down the best price. I will always purchase from Bulk!

I always shy to leave a review here because we don’t make soap professionally.
We don’t have much experience but apparently we are just lucky having excellent supply’s place, good recipes and instructions. We’ve been making all needed kinds of soap for us for couple of years. I am not using palm oil for my soap but my husband use it and we both find this site best for our needs.
I read about other customers’ problems with the bucket. I, as the female part of our team opened the bucket w/o any problem. Exactly the opposite- I am grateful for such a well protected container. Also it is so easy to store.

I see that many people have a hard time with the 7# bucket so I was hesitant to purchase. I also have a 7# bucket of their mango butter and it’s the same container. I used pruning shears to cut the marks on the outer rim then a flat head screw driver to pry open around the edges. Had it opened in 5 minutes. I am enjoying this oil so far!

I have bought the 7.5 lb pail a few times. It is a terrific product. Like all shipping buckets, you have to know how to efficiently open it so you can store the product without removal. First, I like to use tinsnips to cut through each slit that is evenly spaced under the rim of the bucket. After all of the slits are cut through, it is easy to pull up one side of the lid and work your way around until it pops free. It can be pressed back into place to seal for storage. Great tubs to reuse for mixing, too!

I purchased the 7lb bucket, had no issues with the lid. First time opening it is the hardest, just make sure the tabs on the lid snap out and it’ll come right off. It’s just like a paint bucket. Beautiful oil, made very nice soap!

I bought the 35 gallon drum for a pretty decent price. I wish Bulk Apothecary listed whether it was sustainably harvested from the rainforest or not. It makes me hesitant to purchase again. The palm oil works great in my soaps though, makes the bar much harder to last longer.

The 50lb block is a great size, easy to use and affordable. Use it everyday and love it and Bulk. Keep up the good work!

Keep it up, great product

I like this Palm oil but the bucket container for the 7 lb order is ridiculously difficult to open and once you do open it if you can, you can't use the top anymore. You must remove all 7 lbs of the Palm oil and put into other containers. 7lb container revision is in desperate need. I would rather have multiple bottles...No impossible to open bucket please. Thank you.
