Description
Also known as "vegetable tallow," palm oil works well in formulations where you need a thicker or rigid product. It is white in color and has bland flavor and aroma. In soap recipes, it saponifies easily and will help other oils in your recipes to saponify more quickly. The result is a harder, more rigid bar of soap with stable lather. It is recommended to use palm oil in combination with other base oils such as coconut oil and/or olive oil.
There is much discussion within the palm oil industry about the destruction of rainforests when harvesting palm oil. This destruction of rain forests is known to cause the decline in orangutan population. As a company, we are very concerned about this, and as a result, we only source palm oil from suppliers who sustainably harvest and produce and who are members of the Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). This product is also qualified for use by companies certified by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics (Leaping Bunny).
