Why Our Soaps Use Responsibly Sourced Organic Palm Oil

— and Why That Matters to You, and the Planet

At Ever & Ember Natural Body Care, we care about what goes on your skin just as much as what goes into the planet. One ingredient we get asked about often is palm oil—and we’re glad you’re asking.

Palm oil has a complex reputation. For years, it’s been linked to deforestation, wildlife habitat loss, and exploitative labor practices. But here’s the truth: not all palm oil is created equal.

Our suppliers only Responsibly Sourced Organic Palm Oil in our soap bars. It is RSPO IP Certified, Fair Trade - Fair For Life, and certified organic. That means the palm oil they use is fully traceable—from farm to finished bar—and comes from farms that prioritize people, planet, and sustainability.

So why use it at all?

Palm oil plays a critical role in creating a long-lasting, firm bar of soap. While nourishing oils like olive and sunflower give our soaps their creamy lather and moisturizing feel, palm oil adds strength and longevity. It helps our bars stay solid, hold their shape, and last longer in your shower—without needing synthetic hardeners or preservatives.

By choosing Palm Done Right, it ensures our soap isn’t contributing to environmental harm—it’s part of the solution. The farmers grow palm in harmony with nature, using regenerative practices that protect the rainforest, respect biodiversity, and support ethical livelihoods.
