Palm oil / palm kernel oil

Obtained from the fruit of the oil palm and its seeds, palm oil or palm kernel oil's natural fatty acids are used in the production of surfactants as washing agents.

i+m uses only organic palm oil from Colombia that has been produced according to ecological standards and cultivated on established plantations in a family tradition that goes back generations. The soap base is already produced in the country of origin to guarantee the producers a share in the primary value creation.

Palm oil is a particularly high-yielding and very heat-resistant natural vegetable oil that can currently compete in this respect alone with other tropical oils or petroleum. Alternative domestic oils - such as sunflower or rapeseed oil - require much larger cultivation areas for the same yield. Organic palm oil from controlled organic cultivation (kbA) therefore enables sustainable and responsible management of the land, which curbs conventional cultivation.
