RE: Physicochemical characterization of fatty acids distilled from palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) to produce handmade bar soaps.

The use of palm oil to make soaps is an alternative solution because it is an inexpensive oil. Due to its cheapness, this oil is the most used in the world in the production of processed foods that require it and it is generally used in very small quantities, because the reality is that it is one of the most harmful oils for human health due to its high content of saturated fats, and that is why it is not usually sold as cooking oil like corn, soybean and sunflower oils, among others.
