Didn't we use to have a thread regarding some recommendations for cruelty-free products? I will try to look for it. |
I did look on the web for such a list, but only found a couple and they were from the U.K. and Australia. Not sure how much benefit that would be to most.
I posted this thread because it seems so senseless to use this oil in light of the way it's being grown. On this one, I think we all have the power to make a difference with our shopping choices and maybe putting a little pressure on some of these companies. I didn't put it here to just make folks feel bad...that's would be pointless.
I hope that anyone reading this would just open the first link and review the companies and products, then decide what to do from there. You may want to just quit buying these things or make a little noise to the company.
Really, the food products are all prepared foods and snacks. Buying raw, unprepared food bypasses the palm oil thing. I don't know about the cosmetics but, with the soaps and lotions, what you want to look for is glycerin as it is derived from palm oil.
As I said in my original post, this is something that is completely un-necessary and something we can all help to bring an end to.
