Palm oil, certified organic, RSPO certified
Our organic, cold‑pressed, refined and deodorised palm oil is derived from sustainably sourced palm fruits and produced under RSPO certified standards. RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certification ensures that the palm oil is harvested and processed in an ethical manner, with small palm oil farmers working together in cooperatives that adhere to strict guidelines for environmental protection, social responsibility, and fair trade practices. This commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing makes it a reliable ingredient for DIY skincare, haircare, and soapmaking formulations.

Versatile base ingredient: Often used in natural formulations, this palm oil offers a light, non‑greasy texture that blends well into creams, lotions, and serums.
Moisturising and emollient: Its smooth consistency is said to help moisturise and soften the skin, making it a favoured component in DIY skincare recipes.
Haircare Uses
Conditioning properties: Frequently included in haircare formulations, palm oil is appreciated for its ability to impart a natural shine and help smooth the hair.
Enhanced texture: Its light nature supports the development of leave‑in treatments and conditioners, contributing to a balanced and manageable hair appearance.
Soapmaking Uses
Rich lather and hard bar formation: Palm oil is commonly used in soapmaking recipes for its ability to produce a rich, creamy lather and create a firm, long‑lasting bar of soap. Its neutral scent and stable composition allow it to blend seamlessly with other natural oils and ingredients, making it an ideal base for DIY soap formulations.
