Over the years, we have become far more aware of our eco-footprints, and how our choices impact the world. We've gone vegan, opted for organic, and stamped out brands that don't adhere to cruelty-free testing techniques, but one thing we often forget is that so many beauty products we use (along with other daily necessities) feature palm oil. Brands that are palm oil free are definitely few and far between as it stands, but they do exist. The following palm oil free makeup brands, for example, are worth checking out.
So why should we be looking to reduce our usage of palm oil? Well, palm oil (a vegetable oil that comes from palm oil trees) is commonly used around the world in everything from cleaning products to makeup and food. It is very versatile in its usage, and is one of the cheapest options around, hence why it is so popular.

But the ingredient has taken its toll on animal and communities where it is grown, as GreenPeace reports. The production of palm oil requires vast areas of forest space to be cleared, therefore damaging vulnerable eco-systems including those that house creatures such as orangutans.
For these important reasons, it is worth seeking out ways in which we can reduce our palm oil usage in things like the makeup we use. These five brands are a great place to start:
Chantecaille is not only one of the most beautiful, visually impressive makeup brands, it's also one of the most ethically moral. The brand has always been dedicated to never using palm oil, and also does so much for special causes including wildlife in places such as Africa, where many species of animal are becoming endangered. Chantecaille helps to raise awareness of these issues, and uses some of their profits from sales to help with the issues they care about. My favourites include their eyeshadows and cream blushers.

Odylique is best known for its skincare, but the brand also offers a range of makeup products, making them another great option. The brand has always refused to use palm oil in all of their products, and they spread the message by encouraging consumers to avoid palm oil in their daily life, not just when buying into their own brand. Odylique also contributes to charities such as Rainforest Action Network, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, meaning they are also actively taking measures to help with the global palm oil situation.

I currently use MAC Studio Fix, Select SPF 15 foundation, Select Cover Up concealer, Select Sheer loose powder and Select Sheer pressed powder (not all at the same time, of course!). Does anybody know if these are non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic? I don't see anything on the website descriptions that make any mention of this. Also, same question regarding their blushes as well...
Thank you!
