Palm Oil FreE

Written By LUNA & GRACE

Palm Oil Free | Ethical Ingredients | Clean Beauty

At Luna & Grace, we’ve made a clear, unwavering choice: We will never use or sell products containing palm oil.

Palm oil may be everywhere, but its hidden cost is too high—deforestation, habitat loss, and unethical labor practices. Even “certified sustainable” palm oil often lets forests and communities down.

The Palm Oil Problem
Environmental Impact
- 🦍 Rainforest clearance releases vast amounts of CO₂ and endangers species like orangutans and tigers
- 🌴 Draining peatlands for plantations emits stored carbon and destroys unique ecosystems
- 🧑🏻🌾 Monoculture farming erases biodiversity, replacing rich habitats with single-crop plantations

Health Implications
💀 Roughly 50% saturated fat content raises LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, increasing heart-disease risk
⚡ High intake is linked to inflammation, potential cancer risks, and a greater likelihood of type 2 diabetes

Sustainability Challenges
- 🛑 Weak enforcement and loopholes mean even “sustainable” palm oil can drive deforestation and social abuse

Our Alternative Path
We choose nourishing, cold-pressed plant oils and locally sourced ingredients that honor people and planet. Every ingredient is selected with care—no greenwashing, no compromise.

Thank you for choosing beauty that’s kind, clean, and conscious. 💚
