About Palm Kernel Alcohol

Palm Kernel Alcohol is a mixture of fatty alcohols obtained from oil palm kernel oil.[1] The moisturizing feel and spreadability of a finished product containing Palm Kernel Alcohol may vary depending on the use concentration and the combination of moisturizing and emollient ingredients used with it. In cosmetics, it is used to reduce friction on the skin or hair and add a smooth feel, and to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed.[2]
