Emollient, Skin Conditioning

This ingredient is also known as African Palm Oil. It is a plant-based emollient that is slightly occlusive leaning.

As an emollient, it helps moisturize the skin and supports the lipid barrier. Clinical testing found it improved skin hydration, reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and increased skin elasticity.

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Panel has assessed the available safety data and found it to safe in cosmetics.

The comedogenic rating of 2/5 means it is low-to-moderate risk of pore clogging; please remember comedogenic ratings cannot predict how the overall formula will behave on skin.

Because its dominant fatty acids (palmitic and oleic acid) fall within the C11-24 range that Malassezia can use as a growth substrate, this ingredient may not be fungal acne safe.

Palm kernel oil comes from the African oil palm fruit's outer pulp (different from palm oil). It is an emollient that creates a thin film on skin to smooth roughness and lock in moisture.

This oil has a fatty acid profile of mostly lauric (~42%), stearic, and oleic acid.

Overall, this ingredient works well for dry skin but it might be too heavy for oily or acne-prone skin.

Because it is rich in lauric acid, this ingredient may not be fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis) safe.
