Palm Oil

Scientific Name- Elaeis guineensis

Palm oil is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit of the palm Elaeis guineensis. The mesocarp comprises about 70 – 80% by weight of the fruit and about 45 -50% of this mesocarp is oil. The rest of the fruit comprises the shell, kernel, moisture and other non-fatty fibres. The extracted oil is known as crude palm oil (CPO). Palm oil like all natural fats and oils comprises mainly triacylglycerols, mono and diacylglycerols. Other components are free fatty acids (FFA), moisture, dirt and minor components of non-oil fatty matter referred to collectively as unsaponifiable matter. CPO produced in Malaysia in the average will contain about 3.5% FFA, 4.7% diacylglycerols, 0.2% monoacylglycerols, 0.25% moisture and impurities, 1% minor components and balance 90.35% of triacylglycerols.

Palm Oil restores hydration to dry skin, preventing further dryness by sealing in moisture. Suitable for use on sensitive skin, it effectively nourishes areas afflicted by eczema, psoriasis, and stretch marks. The antioxidant properties of Palm Oil boost immunity and delay the onset of wrinkles.
