Understanding Facetheory's Commitment to Sustainable Palm Oil

In today's world, where environmental consciousness is more critical than ever, the sourcing of ingredients plays a pivotal role in the sustainability practices of skincare brands. At Facetheory, we are deeply committed to ensuring that our products not only deliver exceptional results but also adhere to ethical and sustainable practices. One such ingredient that often raises questions is palm oil. Here, we delve into our approach to sourcing palm oil derivatives and our commitment to sustainability.

The Importance of Sustainable Palm Oil

Palm oil is a widely used ingredient in the skincare industry due to its versatility and high yield. However, its production has been linked to deforestation and habitat destruction. At Facetheory, we recognise the challenges associated with palm oil production and are committed to sourcing it responsibly.

Certified RSPO: Our Standard for Sustainability

Facetheory sources its palm oil derivatives exclusively from renewable growers that are certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). The RSPO certification is a globally recognized standard that ensures palm oil is produced in a way that minimizes environmental impact and respects the rights of the people involved in its production.

By partnering with RSPO-certified suppliers, we ensure that our palm oil derivatives are sourced from plantations that adhere to rigorous environmental and social criteria. This commitment helps us contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and the well-being of local communities.

Why Choose RSPO-Certified Palm Oil?

While palm oil has been criticized for its role in deforestation, it is important to acknowledge its benefits over other forms of monoculture. Palm oil plantations, once established, offer a significantly higher yield compared to other crops. This means that less land is required to produce the same amount of oil, potentially reducing the need for further deforestation.
