A word about Palm Oil

Palm oil adds a unique feeling to cold process soap. It helps harden the bars and it creates lather when paired with coconut oil. While ours is from a vendor that supports sustainable production, some makers choose not to use it and we support their decision.

Some of our recipes DO contain palm oil and we actively try to buy only from vendors involved in sustainability solutions and production including the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO):

At the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), we are working to transform the palm oil industry to make it sustainable.
We are a global, non-profit organisation with voluntary members. We are focused on bringing together stakeholders from across the palm oil supply chain to develop and implement global standards for sustainable palm oil.

RSPO is a global partnership to make palm oil sustainable.
To do this, we must be able to demonstrate that sustainable palm oil creates a tangible impact for People, Prosperity and Planet – improving the quality of life of oil palm farmers and their communities, creating a more inclusive and prosperous palm oil industry that embraces sustainability, and enabling us to better conserve, protect and enhance our natural ecosystems and resources.

Since RSPO’s formation, our impact has been significant. From seed to shelf, our certified practices span the entire palm oil value chain. With a growing global presence and strong support from our members, RSPO continues to grow, expanding our global reach and ability to drive positive impacts. Join us on this transformative journey towards a more sustainable future for palm oil and beyond.
