Palm Kernel Oil — RSPO Certified, Sustainable & Ethically Sourced from Ghana
Sustainable Palm. Zero Guilt. RSPO Certified from Ghana.
RSPO certified Ghana palm kernel oil is 100% pure oil pressed from the kernels of oil palm fruit, sourced from small-scale farmers — primarily women — through the Benso Oil Palm Plantation in Ghana, West Africa. RSPO certification means verified zero deforestation, protected biodiversity, and fair treatment of workers. Rich in lauric acid (~48–55%) and myristic acid, it creates hard, bubbly lather in soap making, deeply nourishes skin and hair, and pairs powerfully with kombo butter for therapeutic muscle formulations. This is not industrial palm oil — it is sustainably produced on reclaimed lands, protecting forests while empowering communities.
