🌴CONFLICT PALM OIL is the world’s least expensive vegetable oil.
Palm kernel oil is unhealthy for the human body, and it is responsible for human rights abuses, land grabs, and rainforest destruction. Its irresponsible cultivation in tropical areas is causing Orangutan Extinction. Report from Rainforest Action Network.
Palm Oil is found in many packaged foods and other products such as lipsticks, shampoos, soaps, and detergents.
More than 85% of the palm oil in America’s packaged food is grown on palm oil plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia, where it is associated with child labor and forced labor.
Palm oil isn’t clearly labeled, IT IS IMPORTANT to recognize which products and brands are selling this critical ingredient in order to avoid it. FIRST, you need to learn how to identify it!
Palm oil goes by many names, including Palm Kernel Oil, Palmitate, Glyceryl Stearate, Vegetable Oil, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. The full list is below.
RAN’s Conflict Palm Oil campaign is asking the Snack Food 20* companies to eliminate Conflict Palm Oil from their production and is demanding only responsible palm oil from their suppliers.
Palm oil and its derivatives can appear under more names than just “palm oil.”
Here they are listed by WWF
1. Elaeis guineensis 2. Etyl palmitate 3. Glyceryl 4. Hydrogenated palm glycerides 5. Octyl palmitate 6. Palm fruit oil 7. Palm kernel 8. Palm kernel oil 9. Palm stearine 10. Palmate 11.

Unilever, Nestlé, and Procter & Gamble are among nine household names contributing to labor abuse.“Corporate giants like Colgate, Nestlé, and Unilever claim that their products use ‘sustainable palm oil, ’ but investigations findings reveal that the palm oil is anything but. Palm oil that is produced using child labor and forced labor. The abuses discovered within Wilmar’s palm oil operations are not isolated incidents but are systemic and a predictable result of the way Wilmar does business.
Amnesty International says it will campaign to ask the firms to tell
customers whether the palm oil in popular products like Magnum ice cream, Colgate
toothpaste, Dove cosmetics, Knorr soup, KitKat, Pantene shampoo, Ariel, and Pot Noodle come from Wilmar’s Indonesian operation.

Palm oil is mentioned in the new, amazing documentary
Before the flood by 🎬 Leonardo di Caprio. A must-see! 🌎
🌎 Earth Month Easter Candies In candies: Besides corn syrup, artificial colorants, char bone sugar, and preservatives, one ingredient, in particular, is also unhealthy for the environment! 🌴 CONFLICT PALM KERNEL OIL is the world’s least expensive vegetable oil, a highly processed version of crude palm oil that is commonly used as an ingredient in industrially-produced packaged foods. ❌ The palm kernel oil (conflict palm oil) comes from Indonesia and Malaysia, and it is responsible for rainforest destruction and human rights abuses. Plus, Palm kernel oil is unhealthy for the human body. 👉 It goes by many names, including Palm Kernel Oil, Palmitate, Glyceryl Stearate, and Vegetable Oil. 🔎 According to Amnesty, AFAMSA, ADM, Colgate-Palmolive, Elevance, Kellogg’s, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Reckitt Benckiser, and Unilever are a few Global brands profiting from child and forced labour! 👉 Corporate giants like Colgate, Nestlé, and Unilever assure consumers that their products use 'sustainable palm oil', but our findings reveal that the palm oil is anything but.
🌎NEW Plastic-free tip: 👉Laundry pods made of biodegradable PVA are still made of plastic and should be labeled as plastic.⚠️ ⚠️Laundry Pods and Laundry Sheets that list Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA or PVOH) as an ingredient contain plastic According to the Meliora Cleaning blog: 👉“Many people using laundry pods and strips think that these products contain zero plastic. Several brands state loudly, and incorrectly, that they contain ‘zero plastic’ while also listing PVA as an ingredient. We aim to clear things up: if there is PVA or PVOH in the ingredients, there is plastic. 👉Plenty of people know that the outer coating of a laundry pod does in fact contain PVA, but some may not realize that it can also be found in laundry sheets. Both products often contain Polyvinyl Alcohol, which is a water-soluble plastic. 👉PVA, also called PVOH, is a dissolvable plastic that is used in many applications including laundry and dishwasher pods. A recent study, Polyvinyl Alcohol in US Wastewater Treatment Plants and Subsequent Nationwide Emission Estimate [1], has concluded that the PVA used for these products does not readily biodegrade during wastewater treatment.” 👉About 75% of PVA used does NOT degrade in wastewater treatment plants in the USA[1]. 👉PVA-based products (laundry pods, dishwashing pacs, laundry strips) release plastic into the environment 🐠💚For this reason I switched to non-pods laundry products. My current favorite brand is the MELIORA 🌿Not only their products are 100% plastic-free but also their packaging!! I am committed to reducing plastic waste and using Meliora products is so rewarding!👏

Made with organic hazelnuts, organic cocoa butter, and organic vanilla extract! Also, it is in a glass jar instead of a plastic container!! 😋 It tastes so good, better than Nutella, perfect for a healthier and more environmentally conscientious hot cocoa! ☕️🌰

Procter & Gamble (P&G) is one of the largest companies in the world. It causes significant harm to climate-critical forests, endangered species, and Indigenous and frontline communities for their irresponsible products such as toilet paper, soap, and beauty products.
It is responsible for ecocide, indigenous landgrabbing, and the habitat destruction of the rarest animals on earth due to their continued sourcing palm oil. g
