Can we just take a moment to address palm oil? It could be lingering in more than 70% of our cosmetics, even vegan makeup. While the plant is actually pretty space-efficient (0.26 hectares are needed to make 1 tonne of palm oil, compared to 1.43 for sunflower and 2 for soybean) it’s all about where the palm oil is from and if deforestation occurred to grow it. Always keep an eye out for sustainably sourced palm oil!
