Palm oil has long been a soap-making staple, especially in the cold process method. Its unique properties contribute to a bar that's cleansing but also luxurious and long-lasting. Let's delve into why palm oil is a soap maker's favorite:
Benefits of Palm Oil in Cold Process Soap
- Creamy Lather: Palm oil creates a rich, stable lather that feels gentle and nourishing on the skin.
- Hardness & Longevity: It contributes to a hard bar of soap that lasts longer in the shower, saving you money in the long run.
- Cleansing Power: Palm oil removes dirt and grime without stripping the skin's natural oils.
- Skin Conditioning: Its fatty acid profile helps to soften and moisturize the skin, leaving it feeling smooth and supple.
- Versatility: Palm oil blends well with other oils and works in various soap recipes, making it a versatile ingredient.
Remember: Choose Sustainable Palm Oil
Palm oil is a common ingredient in many soaps, prized for its creamy lather and skin-softening properties. However, conventional palm oil production has been linked to deforestation, habitat destruction, and social issues. As a soap maker committed to sustainability, we believe in using only sustainable palm oil that is both ethical and eco-friendly.
