Palm Oil and its derivatives can be found in all product types across all categories - from personal, body and skincare, to food items, and household cleaning.

The palm fruit is separated from the tree using specialised cutting tools, and hand picked from the ground. Before they are processed any further, the fruit must be sterilized using high temperature steam to deactivate the naturally occurring lipolytic enzymes. The flesh of the palm fruit is then separated from the palm kernel (also known as the seeds). The palm kernels are then pressed to extract the crude palm oil. The crude palm oil is then clarified, and remaining solid particulate is filtered out. The clarified, crude palm oil matt then be further processed, refined and chemically altered to produce hundreds of other ingredients.

After pressing the oil from the palm kernel, the leftover shells are repurposed as biofuel.

Palm oil is the most consumed vegetable oil in the whole world.

Elaeis guineensis Palm is the highest yielding oil plant in the world.
