Palm Kernel Oil is a light and versatile oil used extensively in soap making and cosmetics. It is high in lauric acid, which gives it excellent lathering properties in soap. For skin, it is a good moisturizer that absorbs well without feeling heavy. It helps to restore hydration and prevent moisture loss from the skin and hair.

In Soap Making: It is a foundational ingredient in cold-process soap recipes, helping to create a hard bar with a stable, bubbly lather.
