Palm kernel oil is obtained from the kernel of the palm fruit (from a sustainable and non-destructive source). Pure unadulterated, our palm kernel oil from Ghana has a nutty-smokey- caramel-like scent and produces hard gentle soap with good lather.
With a high percentage of lauric acid, unrefined palm kernel oil is an excellent substitution for coconut oil in soapmaking.

Unrefined palm kernel oil is excellent as a hair treatment. Whilst growing up in Ghana, we used this oil which we refer to as adwengo to help promote healthy hair, shine, prevent from breakage and also help to keep the skin supple.
