Hitherto local soap has been manufactured by a process known as the “Marseilles” method, whereby coconut oil is only one of a number of oil ingredi ents. It is believed that an excellent coconut oil soap, suitable for all domestic purposes, can be produced.
The same iournal announces that attempts will shortly be made in Noumea to manufacture edible coconut oil pro ducts, that will possess an agreeable taste and have many uses in the kitchen.
