Product Details
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Versatile Organic Ingredient: Sourced from the pulp of organically grown Elaeis guineensis fruit, Palm Organic Carrier Oil (Refined) is ideal for formulators seeking a certified organic ingredient with broad utility in natural product development.
Rich Chemical Composition: This oil contains a high concentration of palmitic acid, known for enhancing texture and stability in skin and hair care formulations. Its natural Vitamin E content contributes moisture and shine when applied topically to skin and hair.
Refined for Clarity: The refining process removes the oil’s naturally deep red color and characteristic aroma, resulting in a cosmetic grade oil with a neutral profile and minimal scent.
Excellent for Soap Making: Palm Organic Oil (Refined) is favored by soap manufacturers for its ability to contribute hardness and creaminess to the final bar. It serves as a reliable base oil that supports stable lather and excellent mold release.
Stable and Long-Lasting: Known for its oxidative stability, Palm Organic Carrier Oil helps support the overall integrity of formulations, making it an excellent choice for products with longer shelf-life expectations.
DESCRIPTION
Palm Organic Carrier Oil (Refined) is a cold-pressed vegetable oil derived from the fruit pulp of the Elaeis guineensis palm. Unlike Palm Kernel Oil, which is extracted from the seed, this oil is obtained from the fleshy part of the fruit, giving it a distinct profile of fatty acids and tocopherols (Vitamin E compounds).
Once unrefined, Palm Organic Oil possesses a deep red hue due to its carotenoid content and is sometimes referred to as "Red Palm Oil." However, in its refined form, it presents as a light-colored, neutral-scented oil that integrates seamlessly into a wide variety of personal care formulations without influencing color or fragrance.
With its smooth, stable consistency and rich Palmitic Fatty Acid content, Palm Organic Carrier Oil (Refined) supports skin-conditioning properties and emulsion stability in creams, balms, and soaps. It is particularly valued for its consistency, shelf stability, and compatibility with certified organic formulations.
DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE
- Soap and Cleansing Bars: Use Palm Organic Oil Refined at 20% to 50% of your total oil blend to impart hardness and structure while supporting a stable, creamy lather.
- Skin Care Formulations: Incorporate at 1% to 10% in emulsions, balms, and butters to enhance viscosity and deliver emollient properties.
- Nourishing Hair and Scalp Care: Add at 1% to 5% in conditioners, scalp treatments, and oil blends to enhance conditioning and shine.
- Organic Product Development: Use as a base or thickening oil in organic body lotions and creams. Its refined nature ensures compatibility with essential oils and other active ingredients without affecting the product’s sensory profile.
