Palm oil is a rich natural source of glycerin, a humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin. It acts as an effective moisturizer, forming a barrier to prevent water loss while improving skin elasticity and softness. Glycerin’s hydroscopic action also draws moisture from the air to keep skin hydrated. Used for generations, palm oil has ancient roots—archaeologists even found traces of it in an Egyptian tomb dating back to 3,000 BCE.
