Palm Oil

Palm Oil is a traditional soap-maker's staple, valued for the hardness and the gentle, stable lather it brings to a bar.

INCI: Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil

What it does: adds hardness and a mild, creamy lather to cold-process soap, helping your bars last longer.

What to make with it: primarily cold-process and hot-process soap.

Good to know:

• Solid to soft at room temperature — melt and stir well before use, as it can separate
• A little goes a long way in a soap recipe
• If sustainability matters to your brand, look for RSPO-certified palm
