A strawberry never smelled this good (or got you so clean!)<\/p>\n
INGREDIENTS: Saponified Oils of Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Sustainable, Organic Palm Oil, Castor Oil, Unrefined Beeswax, and Fragrance<\/p>\n
In soap, it offers incredible skin conditioning qualities.<\/p>\n
balances the conditioning of the Olive Oil with the best cleansing ability of all oils and great, big bubbles.\u00a0 It also helps soap last longer in the shower by creating a harder bar.<\/p>\n
I purchase organic and sustainable palm oil and palm kernel oils only. I have chosen to continue to use organic and sustainable palm oil because I believe it is the most environmentally ethical ingredient choice available to me right now.\u00a0 The reason palm oil is so often found in soap is that it is a perfect oil \u2013 balancing all the qualities most people want in a soap with the added bonus that it is an oil that is easily and cost effectively produced. However, we are all aware of the damage the palm oil industry is wreaking on the environment and native animal populations including the orangutan, elephants and Sumatran Rhino. Urgent action\u00a0is<\/strong>\u00a0needed.<\/p>\n However,\u00a0 I think boycotting palm oil entirely\u00a0 could lead to even greater ecological disasters. Transferring demand to other (less efficient) oils means we create an array of less understood new environmental disasters in other parts of the world. Avoiding palm oil is like treating a disease effectively with something else that will probably kill you more quickly.\u00a0 Instead I think we must\u00a0 support the organization called\u00a0Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO<\/a>).<\/p>\n The World Wildlife Fund supports decision. They ask us to support Palm Oil certified by the RSPO. They do not believe that substituting Organic and Sustainable Palm with other oils is good solution as Palm supplies more oil on less land while producing more benefit for the environment than other oils. Check out\u00a0Why Boycotting or Replacing Palm oil is not a Solution<\/a><\/p>\n I recognize that this organization is not perfect\u00a0but their mission is to make most palm oil production sustainable. Buying more expensive palm oil certified by the RSPO empowers the organization. This in turn gives it more strength to influence the industry. By strengthening the RSPO we create a central focal point for\u00a0 activists to demand ever improved environmental caretaking.<\/p>\n I purchase my Palm products from this a company who is a listed member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil:<\/p>\nPurchasing Palm Products<\/h4>\n
