Palm Oil

Palm oil is extracted from the fruit of the palm tree. When used in cold process soap making it makes a hard bar with stable lather. Cold processed soaps made with palm oil resist melting. Palm oil can be used in balm, body butters and stick formulations where rigidity is required.

Palm oil from Saffire Blue is sustainably grown. Our products are produced on a plantation that is not used on Rain Forest land. Our supplier is a member of RSPO (Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil).
