Functional Performance in Formulations
Palm Kernel Oil adds structure at ambient temperature and softens on skin contact. Its melting point enables firm yet workable textures in balms and sticks. Combined with mango butter the blend moderates density and refines application properties. The ingredient integrates with lighter oils to improve emolliency while preserving the planned sensory outcome.
Formulation Guidelines
Add Palm Kernel Oil to the lipid phase and warm gently to 60-70ºC with other solid butters. After melting, incorporate liquid oils and temperature-sensitive components. Usage covers many anhydrous systems that require a stable foundation. The material performs effectively with cocoa butter and mango butter to reach target firmness.
