Palm oil is produced by the pulping of the fruit or kernel oil of the palm tree Elaeis guineensis. It is an excellent moisturizer and helps to make the skin softer and smoother.
Palm oil is used in soap making as it contributes to the preparation of a nice, hard soap that cleans well when used in combination with other oils, such as coconut and olive oil. It gives hardness to the soap bar and a soft, creamy texture with bubbles in the foam.
