RSPO Palm Oil is a sustainably sourced vegetable oil derived from the fruit of oil palm trees. At The Little Goat Soap Company, we only use RSPO-certified Identity Preserved palm oil, ensuring complete traceability from plantation to product. This means the palm oil in our soaps comes from a verified, sustainable source that adheres to the highest ethical and environmental standards currently available.
Palm oil has long been used in soap making for its moisturising properties, rich lather, and ability to create a firm, long-lasting bar. But not all palm oil is equal—and at The Little Goat Soap Company, we are committed to using only the most sustainable and ethical option available.
Oil palms are incredibly efficient. They require four to ten times less land than other crops like sunflower, linseed, or soybean to produce the same amount of oil. This significantly reduces the pressure on land use and helps prevent unnecessary deforestation.
The palm oil we use is Identity Preserved, meaning it is fully traceable and kept separate from conventional palm oil throughout the entire supply chain. You know exactly where it comes from—and that it meets the strictest sustainability standards.
Our supplier works directly with small villages, helping to support local economies and livelihoods through fair trade and sustainable practices.
Our palm oil supplier adheres to the latest RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) standards, which include:
No deforestation
No fire
No planting on peat
Reduction of greenhouse gases
Respect for human rights
Complete transparency
These standards, introduced in autumn 2019, are the most rigorous and far-reaching in the industry today. Learn more about the RSPO here →
RSPO Palm Oil plays a vital role in the performance and quality of our goat milk soap bars. It helps create a hard, long-lasting bar that resists becoming mushy in the soap dish, while still offering a luxurious, creamy lather. Its natural emollient properties make it excellent for moisturising the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Combined with nourishing goat milk and other natural oils, RSPO Palm Oil helps cleanse gently while maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier, making our soaps ideal for sensitive or dry skin types.
In our solid shampoo bars, RSPO Palm Oil helps to give the bar its firm structure and contributes to the smooth, rich lather that makes cleansing your hair feel indulgent and effective. It supports scalp health by helping to gently cleanse without stripping away natural oils, making it a great choice for those with dry, itchy, or sensitive scalps. The addition of goat milk enhances its soothing and hydrating benefits, while the palm oil ensures the bar remains durable and easy to use, right down to the last wash.
We understand palm oil is a sensitive topic. That’s why we’re transparent about its inclusion and take every measure to ensure it comes from responsible, sustainable sources. By choosing RSPO-certified palm oil, we can continue crafting high-quality soap that’s gentle on your skin and kinder to the planet.
At The Little Goat Soap Company, we believe in doing things the right way—not the easy way.
