Palm Carrier Oil (Refined)


Average Product Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Based on 19 Customer Reviews)


Botanical Name: Elaeis guineensis

Extraction Method: Cold Pressed

Description: There is often a lot of confusion over Palm Kernel Oil and Palm Oil. Both can be used interchangeably, but there are differences. Palm Oil is derived from the palm fruit whereas Palm Kernel comes from the kernel of the fruit. Palm Oil is rich in palmitic acid, vitamin E, vitamin K and magnesium and, is considered to be a natural source of anti-oxidant. It works great in soap making. This variety of Palm Oil is Refined, Bleached and Deodorized.

Color: Clear when liquid, white to slightly pale yellow when solid.

Aromatic Description: Palm Carrier Oil has very little scent characteristic of most carrier oils.

Common Uses: Our Palm Carrier Oil is refined and is almost exclusively used by cold process soap manufacturers.

Consistency: Semi-solid at room temperature requiring gentle heating for production.

Absorption: Palm Carrier Oil will leave an oily feeling on your skin if applied neat.

Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of 6 months to 1 year with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended.

Cautions: None Known.

This is a "Must Have" for CP soap. I've noticed some people have a hard time with the container the oil comes in. I just put mine in hot water in the kitchen sink for about 10 minutes, let it soften and liquify and then pour it out into a different container (I use a bucket with lid and once it hardens again you can just scoop it out).

This is a great quality palm oil at a really good price. It will scoop out nicely if you put it someplace warm for a few hours or so before using. It is pretty hard straight from the fridge.

Wow is all i can say--creamy, rich, absolutely the Palm! I enjoy this oil so much and can't wait to give it out in scented creams to my friends and family.

I bought Palm Oil by accident and was distressed when I saw the consistency which is thick, even lumpy. I make scrubs not soaps. I gave it a try anyway not knowing if it would emulsify with the other ingredients. I added everything,putting it in my mechanical mixer hit the mix button and much to my surprise it came out great. I tried the finished product at the spa and my clients (and coworkers) went nuts over it. The best thing - I did the math and it takes less raw material using the palm oil to result in a superior product! Give it a try (with the aid of a mechanical mixer).

Perfect for soap making. Makes a beautiful, hard and great lathering soap. Price is excellent as well. Use a large cooking spoon with a long handle and you will easily be able to remove the product from the jar.

I am thrilled that ND has palm oil back in stock! I have used this oil for 7 years and counting as a staple in soapmaking. Good price; given the crazy market fluctuation and consistently easy to work with.

Excellent high quality oil. Excellent results in hard soaps and liquid soaps. Many of our clients have expressed a concern over allergic reactions to coconut oil, and we therefore elected to make all our soap products with Palm Kernel oil with wonderful results.

I love using this oils in soapmaking! It's a good replacement for coconut oil. I purchased 4kg of Palm Kernel oil. Even though it was packaged in the wide-mouth container, it's still not wide enough and it's difficult to scoop out such hard oil.

This is a great oil for soap making. When I received the bottle it was in a solid form and was tricky to get out. Maybe a different type of packaging would be more appropriate.

Palm Kernal oil is a great addition to your soap. It contributes to a hard bar, and amazing lather!
