Elaeis guineensis oil, also known as “golden palm oil,” is a slow-spreading emollient extracted from Elaeis Guineensis fruits originating in Africa and has a high content of tocopherols, tocotrienols, and carotenoids, all of which are beneficial for the skin.
As the name “golden palm oil” implies, Elaeis guineensis oil has a natural, inherent golden color, meaning no additional colorants are required for the formulations aiming at natural texture and color.
