Palm Oil’s Carbon Footprint in Skincare: A Lifecycle Assessment for Sustainable Formulations

Abstract

The analysis evaluates the carbo-footprint of palm oil in skincare on the basis of lifecycle assessment. It shows the results that through deforestation and use of peatlands in palm plantation, the emissions are vastly elevated. The type of surfactant, packaging and distribution are the other big contributors to the environment. Sustainable sourcing and formulating decisions can have large repercussions to the ecological footprint of skincare on your part.
