Botanical Name: Elaeis guinensis 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.

Aromatic Description: Description: Palm oil has very little scent characteristic of most carrier oils Common Uses: Our Palm oil is refined and is almost exclusively used by cold process soap manufacturers. Consistency: Solid at room temperature requiring heating for production Absorption: Palm 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.

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.

This oil is a must for soap makers, very rich and thick oil. I just wonder if t could come in a different container than in the bottle is coming now.

This is what I needed, an oil that will harden my soaps! My boyfriend usually leaves them in the shower, what a mess! Hope this oil will solve our problem!

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.
