Palm oil
(elaeis guineesis)  from Ethical Source

A non drying oil expressed from the fruit of the Oil palm tree. It is a natural source of Vitamin E and high in beta-carotene. It is also an important source of Vitamin A. It is the beta-carotene that gives the unrefined oil its red colour. Palm oil is an important addition in personal care manufacturing as it helps to speed up the saponification process. Palm oil should not be confused with palm kernel oil as it is chemically and physically different. 

Potassium palm kernelate

Splitting oils and fats produces fatty acids. Glycerin is produced as a by-product. This three-fold alcohol found in every type of fat is produced through the saponification of vegetable oil.

This emulsifying agent helps give a formula a smooth consistency for easy application.
