baraka palm oils

Baraka Palm Oils are made from pure, sustainably grown and community harvested palm fruits and processed in a modern RSOP certified facility. Red Palm Oil is made from the fruit of the oil palm tree and palm kernel oil is made from the nut/seed inside the fruit.

It is a a high-quality product originating from community based, small-holder farms that use traditional processes and techniques to grow and harvest the palm fruits which are the basis for Palm Kernel Oil and Red Palm Oil. For most women and families this is the mainstay of their economy

Palm Kernel Oil(Elaeis guineensis)
Palm kernel oil is cold pressed from the kernels of the oil palm’s fruit. It has a rich, caramel, nutty aroma and light brown color. It is very similar to coconut oil in that it has a high percentage of lauric acid, which adds a smooth texture to body butters, soaps, and salves. It is also high in myristic acid, an anti-inflammatory and cooling agent that makes it an excellent carrier for muscle, tendon, and ligament injury blends. It is also useful for softening and healing dry or itchy skin or lips, as well as moisturizing hair.
