Use in Soap Making

Palm Kernel Oil is widely used in soap making due to its ability to produce rich lather and hard bars. It contains high levels of Lauric, Palmitic, and Myristic acids.

• Creates firm, long-lasting soap bars
• Produces a rich, foamy lather
• Can be used alone or blended with other oils
• Using 20% superfat helps prevent dryness when used in high amounts
• Speeds up trace in cold process soap making when used above 30%

Note: Palm Kernel Oil has a different SAP value from Palm Oil and cannot be substituted directly.
