Palm Kernel Oil

INCI: Hydrogenated Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Kernel Oil

CAS: 8002-75-3

Introducing our Palm Kernel Oil, a versatile and widely used plant-derived oil in the cosmetics and toiletries industries. Extracted from the kernel of the palm fruit, this oil is valued for its excellent cleansing and conditioning properties across a wide range of formulations.

Palm Kernel Oil is known for its high lauric acid content, giving it strong cleansing abilities while still helping to maintain skin conditioning. It works effectively as both an emollient and cleansing agent, making it particularly useful in soap and wash-based products.

With a composition similar to coconut oil, Palm Kernel Oil produces hard, long-lasting soap bars with a rich, bubbly lather. It is commonly used in cold process and hot process soap making to enhance foam, improve hardness, and support overall bar performance.

In cosmetic formulations, Palm Kernel Oil helps provide moisture and softness to the skin while contributing to product stability. It is used in creams, lotions, balms, and hair care products where conditioning and structure are required.

Naturally solid at room temperature and melting upon warming, Palm Kernel Oil is easy to incorporate into formulations and blends well with other oils, butters, and waxes.
