POI work with eco minerals cosmetics, to create a complete range of palm oil free products.
Palm Oil investigations have worked with Byron Bay cosmetic brand, eco minerals, to create a complete range of palm oil free products. This includes Australian made Mascara, liquid concealer and liquid highlighter.
When eco minerals found out that their mascara and concealer had palm derived ingredients, they instantly pulled these products from their range and off retailers shelves and came to us for help.
The journey to formulate palm oil free Australian made mascara and liquid concealer has been a lengthy process for the brand. POI would like to thank eco minerals for their patience and tenacity. The outcome is now 100% palm oil free.

POI work with Santos organics to remove all untraceable palm oil from their shelves. |
|
As part of Santos Organics new Palm Oil Policy, they now only stock a handful of products that contain traceable palm oil that has been verified and approved by Palm Oil Investigations and traced back to a specific palm oil plantation in Africa, Papua New Guinea or Colombia. Santos no longer stock any products that contain palm oil that comes from Indonesia or Malaysia.
The Accreditation has involved a two-year project of removing approximately 50% of all pre-packaged products from stores containing unsustainable and untraceable palm oil and replacing items with organic, palm oil free alternatives. In addition to removing many of their best-selling products, Santos have replaced around 80% of their cleaning, personal care and natural remedy products from stores and have also inspired some of our local suppliers and product manufacturers to reformulate their products as a result!

The story of Hope
Rescued from within a palm oil plantation. Her baby is dead. Her eyes blind. She is riddled with bullets. Her limbs are broken. Starved and hacked at with machetes.
From the medical check, sadly SOCP found 74 air riffle bullets on her body. Her eyes damaged by the bullets rendering her totally blind. Some serious bone fracture also found in all hands and legs.
Unfortunately the baby took his last breath on the way to the quarantine center, due to serious traumatic and malnourished condition. He was estimated to be only one month old.

Study has found that RSPO-certified plantations perform no better than non-RSPO plantations
Oil palm plantations that adhere to the world’s leading certification scheme for the crop show no difference in environmental, social and economic sustainability than non-certified estates, a new study has found.
The study — carried out by researchers from the University of Queensland and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions (CEED), both in Australia, and Borneo Futures — is the first of its kind to assess how effective the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is in achieving its sustainability goals by comparing certified and non-certified concessions.
No significant difference was found between certified and non-certified plantations for any of the sustainability metrics investigated. Read more at Mongabay and ABC News
