Explained
Elaeis Guineensis Oil comes from the African Palm tree. This tree is native to Western and Southwestern Africa.
The kernel and fruit of the palm tree are often used to create palm oil.
The Vitamin E and fatty acid content give palm oil a skin-hydrating property. Emollients help trap moisture in by creating a film on the skin.
