INOLEX – SustOleo™ A direct solution for exiting the palm industry – trending at … in-cosmetics 2016
INOLEX is pleased to announce the launch of SustOleo, a complete system of palm free ingredients, which will be formally launched at In-
Cosmetics, April 12-14th in Paris, France.
“We are pleased to provide this completely palm-free solution for formulators seeking a true
alternative” said Fana Makonnen, Technical Marketing Manager at INOLEX. “Consumers,
retailers, and brands are increasingly focused on the environmental impact of their products,
and we believe that SustOleo provides a significant step forward not just for meeting consumer
preferences but also in improving the world around us.”
The palm industry has long been criticized for its negative environmental and ecological
impacts. It has been associated with deforestation, habitat destruction, climate change, animal
cruelty, indigenous rights abuses, and biodiversity destruction. Sustainable palm organizations
have attempted to monitor palm production with limited effectiveness due to the complicated
web of relationships and abundant loopholes. As a result, personal care consumers, retailers,
and brands are looking for ways to fully exit the palm industry.
SustOleo ingredients provide new and innovative palm-free alternatives for ingredient
categories that have historically been palm-derived. These ingredients include sensory fluids,
emulsifiers, and texturizers that are biodegradable and natural. With a robust and sustainable
supply chain, reliable origins, and reasonable costs, INOLEX’s SustOleo line provides a unique
solution for the increasingly environmentally-conscious personal care industry.
