Every purchase of a palm-oil-free product makes a global difference Palm Oil in Soaps Many soap makers use palm oil to create a hard bar of soap. If you check soap labels you may often see the words "palmate" or "palm oil" listed as one of the primary ingredients. Although palm oil on its own is a great oil, there are problems associated with how some of it is produced. According to the World Wildlife Fund, a rainforest area the equivalent of 300 football fields is cleared every hour to make way for palm oil production. ​This large-scale deforestation is pushing many species to extinction. Displacement of animals is reportedly violent and includes horrific poisoning of elephants and dismemberment of orangutans. In addition, other already endangered animals such as tigers and rhinos are subject to increased poaching and wildlife trafficking as their natural habitat shrinks. Even some 'sustainable' palm oil production harms the environment, as the land must first be cleared (thus destroying biodiversity) before it is replaced with dangerous monoculture. The resulting ecological damage increases greenhouse gases, resulting in climate change, which affects us all, regardless of where we live. Human Rights Concerns The palm oil industry has also been linked to major human rights violations, including child labor and unsafe work conditions, in certain countries.
