The problem with palm oil and alternative suggestions

Palm oil sounds wonderful doesn’t it, maybe it triggers the thought of palm trees, relaxation, maybe a massage with some relaxing oil.

These can be anything from processed food, personal care products, and animal feed. In some parts of the world it’s also used in bio fuel.

Not just products for yourself but gifts for your loved ones too. And the great thing about that is it’s normally the small and home based businesses that are the best eco-friendly gift suppliers.
