Palm oil is a vegetable oil. Producing palm oil creates one of the biggest threats to the orangutan species in particular, along with many other endangered animals. Palm oil has many names so it’s hard to be sure that a product doesn’t have palm oil in it.

Palm oil is one of the main causes for deforestation. People create so much of it and use so much of it and half of the time we don’t think we are doing anything wrong.

Finding a product that doesn’t contain palm oil can be tricky. A good way to eat/use your favourite products but save the planet as well is to make sure the palm oil used in the product is sustainable.
