WHY I USE PALM OIL

by Debra Gray October 13, 2018

PALM OIL IS ONE OF THE MAIN INGREDIENTS IN MY SOAPS – SO WHY AND WHAT IS IT? I AM GLAD YOU ASKED!

This oil comes mostly from the African Palm. It is extracted from the pulp and kernel of the fruit. The color is orange - red because it is rich in beta-carotene but becomes white when boiled.

Benefits in soap making include:

High in Vitamin A and E
Helps fight free radicals thus reducing signs of aging
Moisturizing and nourishing
Can stop negative effects of sun damage
Helps heal acne
Keeps skin soft and supple
In soap making it helps give the soap a long life and rich lather

Once again, with goat milk as another main ingredient my soaps are nourishing, healing and hydrating!

**There is much controversy on the subject of palm oil. While I completely agree that producers can be destructive to the environment and disrupt things terribly, others can be very responsible and not destroy the environment. The Palm oil that I use comes from a source that is a member of RSPO (Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil).
