Revainrating 4 out of 5

I loved it but won't do it again while palm oil is still an ingredient.

This soap is long lasting, smells good and lathers well. For the manufacturer. I was heartbroken to learn on your company website that it contains palm oil. Why use!? The product cannot be abuse-free with palm oil - just not when it comes from the Amazon, where most products come from. I understand that it's very difficult to avoid products that contain palm oil as it accounts for a large chunk of the global market, but with a product like this from a company that seems to have gone so far in making an eco-friendly product; Why not go a few more inches and cross the finish line? I noticed that the palm oil ingredient is listed as "Fair Trade Certified," but that's something that's more for labor conditions than the environment or the orangutans. Palm oil is the main reason for the extinction of orangutans. . Palm oil is not only bad for the environment and one of the main causes of climate change, it is also a major contributor to the extinction of orangutans. An estimated 1,000 to 5,000 orangutans are killed each year on palm oil concessions.
