Palm Kernel Oil
Palm kernel oil is a hard, highly cleansing oil pressed from the kernel of the oil palm fruit. In cold process soap, it behaves similarly to coconut oil, creating a firm, long-lasting bar with rich, fluffy lather. Because it helps balance the conditioning oils like olive, goat milk, and cocoa butter, it’s a staple in many traditional recipes that aim for both hardness and creaminess.
Palm kernel oil also contributes to good cleansing without stripping the skin, especially when paired with nourishing ingredients such as goat milk and honey. Its natural composition supports a solid, stable bar that still feels gentle, making it a dependable structural oil in your formula.
