Palm Kernel Oil
BCO-PALM-KRNL-454G
A solid oil derived from the kernel of the palm tree, it makes a soap which is white, hard, and lathers beautifully in all types of water. It is quickly becoming one of the dominant oils in modern soap making. Also used in massage melts and other body care products.
*Due to our concerns that the production of Palm Oil by some manufacturers is causing damage to the environment and those that live among it, we at Voyageur are committed to only carry Palm Oil that is only from a Certified Sustainable source, which must meet strict standards to ensure it is being produced in a way that is healthy to the environment.
Our palm kernel is a very hard oil with a melt point of approximately 100 degrees F, a similar hardness to cocoa butter. You will need to break this oil up into pieces from its solid form. We usually use a hammer and screwdriver, which works effectively to break it into pieces.
