Dr Bronner's Palm Oil Explained

Palm oil has been hotly discussed this year, and 2018 has seen some big retailers opting out of using palm oil altogether. Shoppers may be concerned about buying products that contain palm oil and may even think of palm oil as a cruel, unethical ingredient that is fundamentally unsustainable. However, as our CEO (Cosmic Engagement Officer) David Bronner puts it, “Any crop can be grown sustainably or unsustainably, and palm is no exception.” Palm oil itself is not an unethical...
