Our Position on Palm Oil

Palm oil is widely used in both food and beauty products due to its versatility. However, its production has long been associated with deforestation, habitat destruction, and harm to endangered species. It's also often listed vaguely on labels as “vegetable oil,” making it hard for consumers to make informed choices.

At Kind & Loving, we have always taken care to use only certified sustainable palm oil from RSPO-approved sources. But as our understanding of ingredient sourcing has evolved, we’ve made the decision to move away from palm oil altogether.

While sustainable palm oil is a step in the right direction, we believe the lack of full traceability in many cosmetic ingredients derived from palm oil makes it difficult to ensure ethical and environmentally sound practices throughout the supply chain.

This decision reflects our ongoing commitment to:

• Ingredient transparency and traceability
   
• Reducing our reliance on complex global supply chains
   
• Choosing alternatives we can fully stand behind — for the planet, for people, and for your skin
   

We’ll continue to review our ingredients regularly to ensure they align with our values of kindness and sustainability — every step of the way.
