THIS IS NOT A LIQUID OIL, THIS IS A SOLID OR PARTIALLY SOLID PRODUCT. This oil is obtained from kernels taken from the cracked nuts of the palm. This oil contains large proportions of lauric acid, its chemical composition is quite different from that of palm oil and is used chiefly for making soap.
Palm kernel oil is a lauric type similar to coconut oil and produces hard soaps that lather well in all kinds of water. Soaps made with palm kernel oil are white, very hard, and lather beautifully; 10-30% is plenty when combined with other vegetable oils. This small percentage also keeps the final bars from developing an odor characteristic of the palm kernel oil. Like coconut oil, palm kernel can have a drying effect when used in excess, yet is moisturizing when used in moderation.
NOTE: While this oil comes to us as a solid and that’s how we ship it to our customers, during warm or hot weather may arrive at the customer's destination in a liquid state, during cold weather it may arrive in solid/hard form. We have no control over what the product will experience while in transit. Melting point: 107 . SAP value: 219.9. INCI: Elaeis guineensis. Country of origin: Malaysia.
This product is food grade; however, Camden-Grey sells its products only for external use.

This palm kernel oil is similar to the coconut oil from Camden Grey in that it makes a wonderful hard bar of soap with lots of lather. No lack of bubbles with this one! Also, Camden Grey has efficient customer service. They replied to my email very promptly and were so helpful. Don't forget their superb prices.

You want a smooth, white and solid bar of soap? All you need is Palm Kernel Oil, that it. I use it up to 60% (depending on the rest of the oils), a quite good percentage is 15% to 25%. Loads of bubbles guaranteed! As usual, it came extremly well packaged -leaking impossible and easy handling even bigger quantities, thank you!

Should the distiller or vendor inform us restocking will take longer than 7 business days, we’ll promptly notify the customer.
Please note that we do not allow order cancellations for any reason and we don’t allow removal/cancellations of products which become partially or completely out of stock after the customer places an order.
