Palm Kernel Acid is a mixture of fatty acids derived from palm oil. Palm Kernel Acid is a surfactant: it helps water mix with oil and dirt so they can be rinsed away.
It can also be used as an emulsifier: it prevents the oily and water parts of a formula from separating. Finally, it adds opacity to soaps and cleansers. All our Palm extracts are from a trusted sustainable source.
