Essential Depot Palm Oil - 1 Quart - 32 oz - RSPO Certified - Sustainable - Food Grade - Kosher - Not Hydrogenated - Safety Sealed HDPE Container with Resealable Cap

Excellent oil, melts easily at a low temperature. Can claim it is sustainable a good selling fact on your ingredient list .

I have to say that I find most of Essential Depot's products of great quality and well worth their value and would highly recommend their products. This time upon purchasing through Amazon, however, the palm oil I purchased had leaked due to a loose lid and some of it out through a pinhole in the bag supposedly sealing it. While most (90-95%) was still contained in the bag or container, it was very disappointing to see some spilled out. Update/ Edit: While there still was a leak in the bottle and bag, one of the (many) things I do like about Essential Depot is their customer service end. I was contacted by Essential Depot's customer service via e-mail which they stated they would correct the problem by sending a replacement. Up until now I have not had to deal with Essential Depot's service line, but they handled it well and I am impressed. Mistakes do happen, I realize, and Essential Depot recovered very well. I would still recommend, however, that you buy the product through their own site as I have never had any problems through there.

Great product, along with their food grade lye.....can't go wrong. I do have a tip for newbys to soap making, something I wish someone had told me from the beginning, something that would have save me a lot of wasted money and trial and error. If you have very sensitive kranky skin like I do(all I have to do is think about a pimple or dry cracked skin and it happens), lower your coconut oil to 5% and your palm oil to 15% of your recipe. I know those two numbers seem very low and they are if you are following soaping books like they were your bible. For added hardnes I use 25% of my recipe as cocoa butter. The rest is beeswax and other conditioning oils. High quality oils, extra Virgin,unrefined and unbleached and cold pressed where possible. It does make a difference, a huge one. But those two "stripping(not cleansing)" oils,coconut and palm are you keys to how dry, ashy and tight, flaky your skin is after using your soap.

My first order arrived with a broken safety seal. I reported it to the seller, received a refund, and reordered. That time it arrived more securely packed and everything was intact. It’s a quality product - I use it for cooking and it’s great.

Palm oil is a good soap base because it is a little harder than some of the other oils. I was familiar with its properties and have no complaints. It arrived with some leakage, the outside of the box was oily. When I opened it, I had lost less than 15% of the product so did not feel too badly about it. When I opened the bottle of oil itself, the foil wrap that was supposed to seal the bottle was damaged. However, this could have been due to mishandling by the post office - I'm not sure. I did not lose enough product to make any claims worth while and the product performed beautifully. I would purchase from this seller again.

I have ordered this product before and it always works so well with my home made soap, a great product

I love that I can melt it right in it's container and pour out what I need, and then let it harden again until the next time I need it.

The Good: I'm giving this 5 stars because the product is fantastic and Essential Depot is wonderful and a very fast shipper. The Bad: Not one thing. The Ugly: As others have pointed out, this stuff is next to impossible to get out of the bottle since it's a solid at room temperature. To make matters worse, it's sealed with super glued METAL FOIL that is IMPOSSIBLE to get off entirely. So you have this solid chunk of fat sitting in a bottle that you can't get to and can't microwave unless you literally shave the top of the bottle with a razor. So instead you have to give it a warm bath which adds like 30 - 40 minutes to any soap making process. It's too bad it doesn't come in a zip-lock microwave/boil safe bag. Would make life WAY easier.

I received the Boyle half empty and broken please refund me
