Palms are one of the most well-known and extensively cultivated plant families. They have had an important role to humans throughout much of history. Many common products and foods are derived from palms, and palms are also widely used in landscaping for their exotic appearance making them one of the most economically important plants.

Saponification Value Strength of Aroma Aromatic Scent History The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and victory in pre-Christian times. The Romans rewarded champions of the games and celebrated military successes with palm branches. Early Christians used the palm branch to symbolize the victory of the faithful over enemies of the soul, as in the Palm Sunday festival celebrating the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In Judaism, the palm represents peace and plenty, and is one of the Four Species of Sukkot; the palm may also symbolize the Tree of Life in Kabbalah. Today, the palm, especially the Coconut, remains a symbol of the stereotypical tropical island paradise. Palms appear on the flags and seals of several places where they are native, including those of Haiti, Guam, Florida and South Carolina.

Cocoa Butter is similar but with a longer shelf life due to its anti-oxidant properties. Mango Butter shares many of the same properties, only it is nearly fragrance free.
