Transparency builds trust.
At Rosenda Back to Nature, we believe in crafting products that are not only effective but also ethically and sustainably sourced. One of the key decisions we’ve made in our formulations is using coconut oil instead of palm oil. This choice reflects our commitment to environmental responsibility, health, and transparency
.In this article, we’ll explore the reasons behind this decision—why coconut oil aligns with our values and why we avoid palm oil despite its widespread use in the beauty and food industries.
The Problem with Palm Oil
Palm oil is one of the most commonly used vegetable oils globally, found in everything from snacks to skincare. However, its production comes with significant environmental and ethical concerns:
1. Deforestation and Habitat DestructionLarge-scale palm oil plantations are a leading cause of deforestation in tropical regions, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. This destruction threatens endangered species like orangutans, tigers, and rhinos, pushing them closer to extinction.
2. Carbon Emissions and Climate ImpactThe clearing of rainforests for palm oil releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide, contributing to climate change. Peatland destruction (often drained for palm plantations) further exacerbates the problem, as these areas store vast amounts of carbon.
3. Human Rights ViolationsPalm oil production has been linked to labor abuses, including child labor and exploitation of indigenous communities. Many workers face poor conditions, low wages, and land dispossession.
While sustainable palm oil (RSPO-certified) exists, the certification process has been criticized for weak enforcement and loopholes. At Rosenda, we prefer to avoid the issue altogether by choosing a more sustainable alternative: coconut oil.
Why We Choose Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is a natural, versatile ingredient that offers numerous benefits for both skin and hair. Here’s why it’s our preferred choice:
1. Sustainable and Eco-FriendlyCoconut trees require less land than palm oil plantations and can grow in diverse environments without causing large-scale deforestation. Small-scale farmers often cultivate coconuts, supporting local economies without the same level of ecological harm.
2. Healthier for Skin and HairDeep Moisturization: Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids that nourish and hydrate skin and hair.
Antimicrobial Properties: It contains lauric acid, which helps fight bacteria and fungi, making it great for scalp health and acne-prone skin.
Natural and Non-Toxic: Unlike some processed palm oil derivatives, virgin coconut oil is minimally processed and free from harmful chemicals.
3. Ethical Sourcing
We source our coconut oil from suppliers who prioritize fair trade practices, ensuring farmers receive fair wages and work in safe conditions. This aligns with our mission to support ethical and responsible production.
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Rosenda Back to Nature, we believe consumers have the right to know what goes into their products. By choosing coconut oil over palm oil, we’re taking a stand for:
Environmental preservation
Animal welfare
Ethical labor practices
Clean, natural beauty
We encourage you to check product labels and support brands that prioritize sustainability. Every purchase is a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.
