Palm oil is a versatile product found in nearly 50% of packaged products on supermarket shelves
From pizzas to paracetamol, mascara to marshmallows, palm oil could be described as a modern-day miracle oil. Palm oil ensures ice cream won’t melt too quickly in warm weather while adding a crunch to biscuits and providing deeper, richer colours to lipsticks. It contains glycerine that helps retain moisture in the skin and has very little odour or taste to allow the natural flavour of food to be enhanced.
