Rest assured that rainforests and orangutan habitats are not harmed in the growing of our palm oil. Our palm oil originates from a Regenerative Organic Certified® palm oil farm, where oil palms have been grown for decades, and where they are now harvested by second and third generation farming families. The palms are interspersed throughout the regional forests, blending in with the surroundings to provide a very healthy environment for plant and animal life. Dr. Bronner’s has partnered with a fair trade and Regenerative Organic Certified® supplier in Colombia to ensure not only that no deforestation or habitat destruction results from the growing or harvesting process, but that all growing is done organically and sustainably.

We share our customers’ concern for the damage being done to rainforests and orangutan habitats through conventional palm farming in Indonesia and believe that our Regenerative Organic & fair trade Palm Oil, grown in Colombia, offers a sustainable alternative.

In case you're wondering whether our Palm Oil is "sustainable," we believe that it’s not about what you grow, but how you grow it. Our palm oil is Regenerative Organic Certified®, one of the highest standards for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness. Learn more: Regenerative Organic Alliance
