Since we began in 2003, we have spoken out about palm oil. As a result of taking bold action in May 2017 for Biome stores to be 100% free from palm oil, a chain reaction is happening. Now, other Australian stores are talking about palm! We are proud that our action is helping make palm oil matter. What we offer are... brands that have gone to extra lengths to find a different way of doing things. We seek out brands that use simple, close-to-nature ingredients, so that you have peace of mind about exactly what is in the products. Together we can make palm oil matter! The only sure way to help reduce the destruction caused by palm oil cultivation is to avoid all palm oil, including that claimed to be sustainable". One easy way to do that is support the wonderful brands that can be found at Biome! Visit our website to learn more > www.biome.com.au/content/25-palm-oil
