About Star Oil
Star Oil is the refined palm oil SCS sells in Cameroon in one-litre, five-litre and twenty-litre containers, and it is the brand the company puts its own name behind online. SCS describes it as one hundred per cent extra-refined palm oil of a golden yellow colour meeting international quality standards, free of cholesterol, enriched with vitamins E and A, and light enough in texture to be used for every kind of cooking. It is the flagship of a business that began on the soap side and moved into oil refining.
