100% Organic
We believe in the power of organic agriculture to foster healthy, resilient ecosystems. Our palm oil is grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, GMOs, or other harmful inputs. Products bearing the Palm Done Right seal are fully traceable back to the farm.

Deforestation-Free
All Palm Done Right farms have upheld third-party deforestation-free certification since 2014, with documentation dating back to 2005. Updated LUCA (Land Use Change Analysis) studies and STARLING satellite monitoring ensure ongoing land integrity and conservation.

Fair
We ensure fair treatment of all laborers. Farmers and workers receive living wages, safe working conditions, and housing. Child labor is prohibited, and every farm abides by a strict code of conduct to uphold these standards.

Conventional palm oil production has often resulted in deforestation, biodiversity loss, and labor exploitation. Sustainable palm oil, on the other hand, can support thriving ecosystems, fair labor practices, and community development. Palm Done Right shows that palm oil can be grown in harmony with people and the planet.

Palm oil is derived from the fruit of the African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis). It’s used in food, cosmetics, personal care, and cleaning products. Red palm oil from the fruit pulp is high in antioxidants and ideal for cooking. Kernel oil, pressed from the seed, is used in soaps and other products.

Unrefined Palm oil is rich in vitamins A and E, as well as tocotrienols and beta-carotene. These nutrients support cell health, act as antioxidants, and, when consumed in moderation, may help reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels.

Irresponsible palm oil production has caused immense harm to forests, wildlife, and communities. Critically endangered species like orangutans and Sumatran tigers have lost habitats. But this doesn’t have to be the case—Palm Done Right is proof that palm oil can be grown ethically and sustainably.

Unsustainable palm oil is linked to deforestation, biodiversity loss, and exploitation. Sustainable palm oil, like that from Palm Done Right, is organic, deforestation-free, wildlife-friendly, and fair to workers and communities.

Our farmers grow palms on already-degraded land and leave parts uncultivated to support biodiversity. We invest in research and conservation of threatened species and indigenous ecosystems.

We treat farmers as partners, not laborers. We pay fair wages, provide resources, and support community infrastructure like healthcare and education. Our goal is mutual respect and shared success.

Palms are grown using organic practices like composting and cover cropping. Fruit is harvested by hand and transported with minimal mechanization, preserving soil health and reducing emissions.

The milling process avoids waste and pollution. Fiber is reused as fuel, and water is responsibly treated through biodigesters or secure holding ponds to prevent contamination.

Absolutely. Palm oil is the most efficient vegetable oil crop, producing 5–10 times more oil per acre than alternatives. Done right, it meets demand while reducing pressure on forests.

We go beyond conventional standards. Palm Done Right is about real impact—from organic farming and zero deforestation to community empowerment and wildlife protection. We’re proof that palm oil can be a force for good.

Oil pressed from the kernel is higher in saturated fats than oil pressed from the fruit. Kernel palm oil is great for soaps, cosmetics, household cleaning items, and personal care items.

Oil pressed from the fruit palm is unrefined red palm oil. Red palm oil is good for cooking, nutritional supplements, and animal feed.Refined palm oil (RBD palm) is good for shortening, baking, margarine, frying, & soaps.

Palm Stearin is a solid fraction that is good for margarine, spreads, baking, confections, and frozen desserts.

Palm Olien is a liquid fraction that is good for cooking & deep frying because of its high smoke point.

Did you know that roughly half of the products in your pantry contain palm oil? That is because palm oil is a versatile ingredient for food, cleaners, and personal care and beauty products. Some of the benefits of palm oil are as follows:

• At room temperature, palm oil has a natural texture and plasticity similar to hydrogenated corn or soy oil, but without the harmful hydrogenation.
• Palm oil is resistant to oxidation and rancidity. It can extend the shelf life of a product as an ingredient.
• It has a better, non-greasy mouthfeel than other vegetable oils.
• It is a good blending oil, and can serve as a great vegan alternative to butter.
• Red palm oil is chock-full of antioxidants, including carotenoids and tocotrienol compounds found in vitamin E.
• It’s a great, functional base for natural soaps and other natural cleaning products.
• It’s a sustainable alternative to ingredients in cosmetics that contain petroleum. Palm oil is also a great emollient for balms and lotions.
• When Done Right, palm oil is the highest yielding vegetable oil on earth. It produces 5-10 times more oil per acre than any other commodity oil.

Endangered animals facing the brink of extinction, the destruction of rainforests, blazing peat fires, and human rights issues are all symptoms of palm done WRONG.

The Palm Done Right Promise is to promote the sustainable and ethical harvesting practices of palm oil. It can be summarized in four parts.

1. 100% Organic: Organic agriculture is essential to securing healthy resilient ecosystems.
2. Deforestation-Free: To date 2 billion hectares of land has been degraded worldwide. We need to eradicate deforestation and degradation from our supply chains.
3. Wildlife Friendly: Species diversity is crucial to preserving our living planet for future generations.
4. Fair & Social: Every person around the world deserves to be treated with dignity and equality.

We believe that palm oil is an incredible product, read the rest of our Palm Done Right Promise to learn more.

Palm Done Right farmers use organic growing practices by not utilizing chemical pesticides and herbicides. This is in great contrast to industrial palm plantations that utilize harsh chemicals and heavy machinery, thereby damaging natural ecosystems and habitats. There has been more and more recent evidence to suggest that these harsh chemicals also have negative side effects for our health.

Palm Done Right takes into account the belief that farmers who grow organically become stewards of the land and soil, rather than takers from it.

The environmental impacts of palm oil production include deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and greenhouse gas emissions. Also, pesticides and fertilizers in palm oil production can lead to water and soil pollution.

The ethics of sustainable palm oil is a subject of ongoing debate. Some argue that it is a step in the right direction, as it reduces the negative environmental and social impacts of palm oil production. Others argue that it does not go far enough and that palm oil production in any form is unethical.

Palm oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the fruit of the oil palm tree. The process of obtaining palm oil involves several stages, including harvesting the palm fruit, extracting the oil from the fruit, refining the oil, and packaging it for distribution. The process can be either manual or mechanized, depending on the scale of production and the location of the plantation.

Palm oil production has been associated with several negative environmental and social impacts, including deforestation, habitat destruction, soil erosion, and loss of biodiversity. The expansion of palm oil plantations has also led to conflicts with local communities and indigenous peoples, who have lost access to their land, forests, and natural resources.

There are alternatives to palm oil, such as soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, animal fats, and synthetic oils. However, many of these alternatives require significantly more land, water, or inputs to produce, making them less efficient and, in some cases, more environmentally damaging than palm oil. When produced responsibly, palm oil can be the most sustainable option available. Initiatives like Palm Done Right demonstrate that palm oil can be grown organically, without deforestation, and in ways that uplift farmers and protect ecosystems. Supporting these practices offers a more impactful choice than simply swapping one oil for another.

Red palm oil is an oil extracted from the fruit of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis). It gets its red color from the presence of beta-carotene and other carotenoids. It is commonly used in West African and Southeast Asian cuisine and is also used in some traditional medicine practices

The production of palm oil, including red palm oil, has been associated with deforestation, habitat destruction, and the displacement of indigenous peoples in some areas. However, there are sustainable palm oil initiatives and certifications, such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), that aim to promote more responsible production practices. When purchasing red palm oil, look for products that have been certified as sustainable by a recognized organization.
