This is pure non-food grade palm oil, suitable for soap making, candle making, lotions, and other craft uses. It was purchased to test with coconut oil in a pigment carrier experiment. At room temperature it's a paste-like solid. It melts at about 95 degrees F. Put the bottle in warm water to melt it. When liquid it's a clear light yellow color. It has many uses besides craft purposes. Palm oil is also used as a bioenergy fuel for engines. Another use is as a lubricant for machinery (not so common these days).
The Wiki article with excerpt is here :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_oil
"Palm oil is a common cooking ingredient in the tropical belt of Africa, Southeast Asia and parts of Brazil. Its use in the commercial food industry in other parts of the world is widespread because of its lower cost and the high oxidative stability (saturation) of the refined product when used for frying. Along with coconut oil, palm oil is one of the few highly saturated vegetable fats and is semisolid at room temperature....Human use of oil palms may date as far back as 5,000 years; in the late 1800s, archaeologists discovered a substance that they concluded was originally palm oil in a tomb at Abydos dating back to 3,000 BCE.....Palm oil became a highly sought-after commodity by British traders, for use as an industrial lubricant for machinery during Britain's Industrial Revolution.....Palm oil formed the basis of soap products, such as Lever Brothers' (now Unilever) "Sunlight" soap, and the American Palmolive brand.....Palm oil is used to produce both methyl ester and hydrodeoxygenated biodiesel....Palm oil biodiesel is often blended with other fuels to create palm oil biodiesel blends....Although palm oil is applied to wounds for its supposed antimicrobial effects, research does not confirm its effectiveness."
