What is Red Palm Oil?

   Red palm oil is obtained from the fruit of the tropical oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), which grows in the rainforests of Asia and parts of Africa. It’s important to be conscious of where you source your palm oil from, since it can have a significant environmental impact. Some producers tend to destroy rainforests in the process of obtaining it, as well as producing unhealthy, refined palm oil whose benefits are not worth the purchase.

Red Palm Oil Benefits for Skin

1.Red palm oil is also special because it contains vitamin E in tocopherol and tocotrienol form. These compounds help protect your skin from the sun (along with the flavonoids and squalene found in the oil) and can ease the appearance of scars on the skin.

2.Another benefit of red palm oil is its powerful protection from UV rays. This is down to its carotenoids, the same pigments that give carrots, tomatoes and sweet potatoes their color. They help protect your skin down to the cellular level as the oil soaks in.

3.Finally, red palm oil has CoQ10, which is naturally present in your body. However, your CoQ10 levels go down as you age. One of the benefits of red palm oil is that CoQ10 can contribute to anti-aging effects. It’s another antioxidant that can protect your skin and help enhance elasticity and collagen. CoQ10 is generally a major ingredient in many anti-aging serums and creams.

   Our red palm oil is special because it isn’t highly processed unlike regular palm oil or refined seed oils. Instead, it’s a natural saturated fat, like cacao butter and coconut oil. This means our red palm oil offers better benefits for your skin and hair, since it doesn’t oxidize when exposed to air, heat, or your body. It simply soaks in, nourishing your hair and skin.

   You can also apply red palm oil to your skin right after you have a shower (while your skin is still wet). This helps lock in the moisture and nourishes your skin. You might notice that it leaves a light shade of red on your skin, but this washes off easily. You might also find that the red palm oil temporarily leaves a slight yellow tint on your nails.

Red Palm Oil Benefits For Your Hair

There are a few different ways you can use palm oil to moisturize your hair

   1.Before a shower, you can take a quarter-sized dollop into your hands and apply it from the ends of your hair up to just below your roots. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then take a shower and wash your hair as usual. The oil might color sheets or clothes, so be careful while you’ve applied it.

   2.Red palm oil also offers benefits as a leave-in conditioner and end protector. Take a dime-sized dollop and rub it into the ends of your hair. This can help protect against frizziness and split ends. It can also leave your hair feeling incredibly silky right after you’ve applied it.

3.Anytime you try a new hair care routine, give it about two weeks to see how your hair reacts. If it doesn’t give you the results you want, try changing it to something else. While palm oil has many benefits, everyone is different. Some people have hair that loves oil before each shower, while others find their hair gets weighed down by too much oil. Yet, others need lots of oil after a shower to tame the frizz. Experiment a little to see what your hair likes best!
