Sodium Palmate

Sodium Palmate:

Sodium Palmate is the result of the saponification of palm oil with sodium hydroxide.  Saponification is a process that produces soap which occurs when a fatty acid reacts with an alkali. The Palm oil is the fatty acid and sodium hydroxide is the alkali.  This serves to keep other ingredients in soap together as a cleansing agent.
