Palm-Free
Why Palm-Free Soap Recipes?
Traditionally, one of the main ingredients of cold process soap has been palm oil. However, as the
use of palm oil has increased primarily due to its cheap price and wide availability, there has been
controversy within the soapmaking community regarding its use. Production of palm oil in Southeast
Asia has resulted in not only the depletion of the rain forest which is being torn down to create
palm plantations, but it also threatens endangered animals like orangutans and Sumatran tigers who
call these rain forests home. Already, many soap manufacturers buy and use palm oil from
organizations that support sustainable palm cultivation to prevent deforestation in the rainforests
for farm production, and some soap manufacturers do not use palm oil at all because of this. At
first, LUVSOAP used 'sustainable' palm oil but soon decided not to use it, because we have good
plant-based oils to replace palm oil functions. And these oils provide additional good effects. We
believe sustainable palm cultivation is possible, but we don't think that's the perfect solution. If
everyone uses less palm oil and is committed to finding an alternative, the need for palm
cultivation will no longer matter.
