Our RSPO-MB Palm Kernel Oil is obtained by pressing the kernels of Elaeis guineensis to gently release the oil without the use of chemical solvents. This produces a creamy to white coloured, solid oil with a neutral aroma and minimal processing, making it an excellent choice for natural and handcrafted formulations.

Rich in lauric acid, Pressed Palm Kernel Oil creates a firm, stable base in products like lip balms, deodorants, and solid lotion bars. In soap making, it’s loved for producing hard, long-lasting bars with rich, fluffy lather and great cleansing power. Compared to solvent-extracted and highly refined versions, pressed RSPO Certified Palm Kernel Oil has a slightly softer texture and creamier colour, making it ideal for formulators who prefer a more natural, sustainable oil.

*Supplier Change as of September 19th, 2025.  Colour is more off-white than in picture.

Palm Kernel Oil can be incorporated into cosmetic formulations at varying levels depending on the desired consistency and performance. In soap making, it is commonly used at 15–30% of the total oils in a recipe to create a hard, long-lasting bar with rich lather. It can also be added to lip balms, salves, and deodorants where firmness and stability are required. Always check a reliable lye calculator when formulating cold process soap to ensure proper balance.

Happy Accident Discovery

I purchased palm kernel oil for my soaps by accident then after realizing my mistake I went looking for uses and discovered you can use it exactly the same way you use Coconut oil in cp or hp soap. It is extremely hard and brittle so was worried it would set up too fast when mixed with lye but much to my delight it was a breeze to soap with and I would even say nicer than Coconut. It lathers incredibly well and will be something I continue to use in my soaping. I am glad Voyageur is vigilient when it comes to the source of their Palm oil, it’s one of my favorite oils for soap and I need to feel good about using it for myself and my customers.
