What it is
Skin Gourmet Palm Kernel Oil is 100% pure Elaeis guineensis palm kernel oil, absolutely nothing else added. It’s sourced from the Eastern Region of Ghana and produced sustainably by an all-female cooperative. This is an edible, Ghana-made classic that works beautifully as both a kitchen staple and a skin-and-hair oil, rich, comforting, and quietly effective.
Palm kernel vs palm oil, quick clarity
A lot of people hear “palm” and assume it’s all the same. It’s not.
Palm oil comes from the fleshy outer part of the fruit (the pulp).
Palm kernel oil comes from the kernel inside the hard nut, basically the seed at the center.
So this oil is extracted from the inner kernel, not the outer red pulp, which is why it behaves differently and has its own distinct scent, texture, and richness.
Wait, did you smell that? We knew you’d like it.
Why it works for skin and hair (the “how,” not hype)
Deep moisture and softness: palm kernel oil is naturally rich and cushiony, which makes it especially good at helping dry skin feel softer and more comfortable for longer.
Barrier support: it forms a protective layer that helps reduce that dry, tight feeling, so skin stays supple and smooth.
Hair texture, frizz, and shine: it coats the hair shaft well, helping reduce roughness, tame frizz, and add shine, especially on textured hair or hair that’s feeling dry.
A nourished look over time: consistent moisture and protection helps skin look healthier overall, that’s the simple truth.
Eating it, the Ghanaian way (with common sense)
Yes, this oil is edible, and it’s a Ghanaian staple for a reason. It has a rich, comforting flavor that can make food taste deeply satisfying, especially when you’re frying or finishing dishes that benefit from that traditional, full-bodied taste. If you’ve ever had fish fried in the right oil, you already understand the assignment.
The sensible part is simple: because it’s a rich oil, a little goes a long way. Use it for flavor, use it for tradition, and enjoy it as part of a balanced diet.
How it can be for all skin types, honestly
This oil can work for all skin types, but it’s richer than lighter oils. Dry skin will love it. Oily or acne-prone facial skin may prefer it mainly for body, hair, or targeted dry areas rather than as an all-over face oil.
How it’s made
Handmade in Ghana, sustainably produced by an all-female cooperative in the Eastern Region. Pure oil, no fillers, no fragrance, no preservatives.
Tip
Use it on damp skin for better absorption. In cooler temperatures the oil may become thicker and lighter in colour because it is 100% natural, warm it between your palms before applying. Keep it closed when not in use, store in a cool, dry place away from water, and refrigerate for long life.
Skin softer than a whisper in a pillow fight, hair shining like moonlight, chale.
