Palm kernel oil is a type of vegetable oil extracted from the seeds (kernels) of the fruit of the oil palm tree. Unlike palm oil, which is extracted from the flesh of the fruit, palm kernel oil is cold-pressed from the seeds, retaining its natural nutrients and beneficial compounds. It is a pale yellow to off-white oil with a mild, neutral aroma and is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products due to its emollient properties.

KEY BENEFITS

• Skin Moisturizing: Palm kernel oil is rich in fatty acids, including lauric acid, which helps to hydrate and soften the skin, making it a popular ingredient in lotions, creams, and balms.
• Antioxidant Properties: Contains tocopherols (Vitamin E), which act as antioxidants to protect the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging.
• Anti-inflammatory: The oil has soothing properties that can help reduce inflammation and irritation when applied topically.
• Non-comedogenic: Palm kernel oil is less likely to clog pores, making it suitable for use in products for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
• Hair Care: Known for its ability to improve the health of hair by promoting shine and providing moisture to dry, brittle hair. It is commonly used in hair care products like conditioners and shampoos.
• Cleansing: Palm kernel oil’s properties allow it to gently cleanse the skin without stripping away its natural oils, making it an excellent ingredient in facial cleansers and soaps.
