Soap Without Palm Oil | List of Palm Oil Free Soap

Palm oil is a common ingredient in soap. Here’s a list of palm oil free soap and how to find soap without palm oil derivatives. Palm oil is hidden in hundreds of names. Most of them don’t include “palm” in the name. Even soap without sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) can contain palm oil.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• It’s rare to find palm oil free soap in a store.
• “Natural” soap can contain palm oil; palm oil is natural, not artificial.
• Palm oil free soap doesn’t contain SLS.
• Less ingredients is usually better.
• Palm oil hides in ingredients without saying “palm oil”.

These always contain palm oil:

• Liquid soaps in big box stores 
• Body washes in big box stores 
• Soaps with sodium lauryl sulfate

Also important:

• Not certified Palm Oil Free? Can’t be sure it is.
• Certification is key; not all “Palm Oil Free” labels are true.
• “Coconut” soap labels may hide palm oil, unless certified or possibly handmade.

Read labels, and learn the ways palm oil hides in many ingredients. Even simple-seeming soaps use palm oil. (Dove soap contains palm oil too.)

Glycerin is typically derived from palm oil:

You may see “Glycerin” in soap ingredient labels. You will most always find it in liquid soaps where it acts as a humectant (helps to retain moisture in the product and on skin). Companies rarely spell out that their Glycerin is derived from palm oil. It will likely either say “Glycerin” or “Vegetable Glycerin” on the label. 

Palm Oil is Common in Soap

Thanks so much for your interest in this topic. Please keep reading, and take a moment to read about Viva La Body and their commitment to keeping their entire range of products palm oil free. They are an incredible company and stopped making 30 products because they could no longer source palm oil free Brassica alcohol!

What Soap Does Not Contain Palm Oil

I discuss some of these in detail below.

Choose bar soap from these brands which are certified Palm Oil Free:

• The Eco Alchemist 
• Ethique – They also have soap concentrates. You add water at home to the powder. 
• Freedom Soap Co.
• Viva La Body
• Bite Toothpaste Bits (their Carbon Capture Cleanser bar)
• Dindi Naturals
• Nude Beauty Products Australia

Bar soaps not certified Palm Oil Free but I believe do not contain palm:

• Kiss My Face – They have three bar soaps I believe don’t contain palm oil. Read below for the exact ones.
• Remwood Product’s Co. Grandma’s Baking Soda Soap
• Kilted Suds
• Booda Organics
• EarthSense Organic
• Peet Bros
• Whispering Willow – Their liquid soaps use coconut oil.

Liquid soap not certified Palm Oil Free but I believe does not contain palm:

• Whispering Willow – Thanks to a reader who commented below with this company. According to their website, Whispering Willow uses coconut oil instead of palm oil in their liquid soap, body washes, and bar soap. 

Palm Oil Ingredients in Soap

Watch for these ingredients which are common in liquid and bar soap. Most everyday soap brands you see in stores contain one or more of these palm oil derivatives: 

• Sodium Palmate
• Ammonium Laurel Sulfate (ALS)
• Cocamidopropyl Betaine
• Glycerin
• Glycerine
• Lauric acid
• Sodium Cocate, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Lauryl Sulfite, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Sodium Stearate
• Stearic acid
• Tocopherols

Also, it’s a mistake to assume you are buying palm free soap just because the label looks to be “natural,” “eco-friendly,” “plant-derived,” “healthy,” and “green.” Be aware even organic soaps often contain palm oil.

Choose soap that is certified Palm Oil Free from either the International Palm Oil Free Certification Trademark (POFCAP) or the Orangutan Alliance. In this way, you will know for sure it is 100% palm oil free.

Soap without Palm Oil

I found these soaps without palm oil and unnecessary chemicals. However, please use this list as a starting point. They are not guaranteed unless they have earned Palm Oil Free certification. 

I am starting with the soaps my family uses. Then I list out the soap brands (The Eco Alchemist, Ethique, Freedom Soap Co., Viva La Body, and Bite) who have taken the necessary steps to certify their soaps Palm Oil Free. This means soaps from these companies are guaranteed to be Palm Oil Free.

Kiss My Face

Please note: Kiss My Face is now advertising “palm oil free” on many of their bar soaps. Their products that contain Sodium Stearate and/or Glycerin may or may not contain palm oil. These are labeled as De-Stress Bar Soap and Goat Milk Bar Soap. I wouldn’t buy them if you are avoiding palm oil. 

These are the three bars I believe to be palm oil free:

• Pure Olive Oil Soap now called Olive Oil Bar Soap Fragrance Free
• Olive Oil & Lavender Bar Soap
• Olive & Aloe Bar Soap

Kiss My Face Pure Olive Oil Soap

They have repackaged this so it’s now called Olive Oil Bar Soap Fragrance Free. It now has light blue packaging.

Ingredients are Sodium Olivate (Saponified Olive Oil), Water, Sodium Chloride (Sea Salt). Their label says it’s free from parabens, phthalates, palm oil, fragrance, and added color. It’s also vegan.

This is my favorite soap. I use it exclusively since we have sought out palm oil free soaps. We bring it with us when we travel. It’s scent-free and non-greasy. They are available in 8 oz bars. Each lasts a long time. The quality and value are unbelievable. 

Olive Oil & Lavender Bar Soap

Ingredients: Sodium Olivate (Saponified Olive Oil), Aqua, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Sodium Chloride (Sea Salt), Parfum. 

Olive & Aloe Bar Soap

Contains: Sodium Olivate (Saponified Olive Oil), Aqua, Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium Chloride (Sea Salt), Parfum. 

Remwood Product’s Co. Grandma’s Baking Soda Soap

Ingredients: Saponified Oils of Lard and Castor with Baking Soda.

This was the first bar soap we found that didn’t contain palm oil. It lasts a long time. We use this bar soap in our home and like it doesn’t have a fragrance. This is my son’s favorite soap. He’s been using it for 5+ years and loves it as a shampoo and for soap.

Be sure you are getting this exact soap; there are many “grandma” type soaps.

Founders and owners Jo and Micko Srbinovski are passionate about not including palm oil in their product line. So much so that they removed entire product lines from their offerings… consisting of 30+ products!

Brassica alcohol, a key ingredient to make palm oil free shampoo bars, conditioner bars, and facial products, has not been available palm oil free for some time. As of this update (August 2023), it is still not being manufactured free from palm oil derived derivatives due to supply chain issues.

To remain true to their 100% palm oil free stance, they removed entire product lines from their portfolio. This is incredible and a HUGE testament to their commitment to be palm oil free!

Jo shared this on their website: 

“Our product range is handmade by us and the manufacturing is not outsourced and as such we have a close connection to the supply chain of our products. It has come to our attention that a key ingredient brassica alcohol, which is used across our product range, is no longer being manufactured free of palm oil derived ingredients.”

Soap stand to extend the life of bar soap 

This soap holder from SoapStandle makes it easy to use bar soap. It extends the life of your soap by airing it out.

It’s a simple piece you rest your soap on. It allows the soap to dry out completely, even from the bottom. This really helps extend the life of the soap.

In addition, it eliminates the gooey mess from leaving the soap wet on the counter.

It’s really easy to use. In the past, we were always trying ways to air out the soap by propping it on different things. SoapStandle is an easy solution.

Palm Oil Free Bar Soap Review

None of the soaps on this list contain palm oil derived chemicals in the form of detergents and surfactants. This means they don’t make lather and foam. We don’t miss it.

The soaps we’ve tried and use regularly from the list are Grandma’s Baking Soda Soap, Kiss My Face Pure Olive Oil Soap, and Ethique’s Lime & Ginger Body Polish, Creme Bodywash Bar, and Teatree & Spearmint Foaming Bodywash.

We love that these soaps get the job done without added ingredients and artificial fragrance.

The Grandma’s and Kiss My Face soaps contain just three ingredients. Even though the main ingredient is olive oil, the Kiss My Face Pure Olive Oil soap doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy or oily.

My son, who has a palm oil intolerance/sensitivity, loves the Remwood’s Grandma’s Baking Soda Soap. He has thick hair and uses it as a shampoo as well. It doesn’t leave his hair greasy. Another benefit is this soap lasts a long time. He uses it every day and it lasts for months. He keeps it on a SoapStandle so it’s not sitting in water.

In addition, these bars retain their composure/hardness and really seem to last longer than other soaps we’ve used. Interestingly, it’s as if they wick away water and don’t leave the soap ring.

We keep all of our bar soaps on their own SoapStandle which is a soap rest to air dry your soap. It’s among our favorite items to make it easy to avoid palm oil. 

We are looking forward to trying the other palm free soaps above as well. See list of palm oil free cleaning products.

Does Dove Soap Contain Palm Oil?

This is a popular question. Yes, Dove Soap contains palm oil. We don’t like to list the companies who use palm oil; however, this is a common question. Here are the ingredients in Dove Soap. I listed several bars and bolded the ones that likely contain palm oil.

Other Soap in Stores

Dove is not alone in using palm oil. You may see seemingly eco-friendly brands in stores and wonder if they contain palm oil. We aren’t listing all those companies here but yes, they likely contain palm oil. 

I did an online search for “eco bar soap” at a major retailer. The first bar soap that came up lists these ingredients: 

Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Fresh Bar Soap:

Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Stearic Acid, Sodium Tallowate, Water, Sodium Isethionate, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Stearate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Peg-20, Masking Fragrance, Petrolatum, Sodium Isostearoyl Lactylate, Sucrose Cocoate, Titanium Dioxide, Pentasodium Pentetate, Tetrasodium Etidronate, May Also Contain Sodium Palm Kernelate.

The second soap that came up was a castile bar soap. It contains these ingredients. The Tocopherols may or may not be derived from palm oil. The company does not disclose the source. 

Dr. Bronner’s Bar Soap Lavender:

Organic Coconut Oil*, Organic Palm Oil*, Sodium Hydroxide+, Water, Organic Olive Oil*, Lavandin Extract, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Lavender Extract, Sea Salt, Citric Acid, Tocopherol *Certified Fair Trade Ingredients, +None Remains After Saponifying Oils Into Soap & Glycerin

Most all the big brand bar soaps use palm oil. It’s also in most all liquid soap.

To the best of our research, Kiss My Face and Ethique are the “biggest brands” who don’t use palm oil in some (Kiss My Face) or all (Ethique) of their soaps.

Palm oil is in most all soaps and detergents you will find at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Meijer, Costco, Sam’s Club, CVS, grocery stores, etc. Soap without palm oil in these types of stores is rare.

Palm Oil Free Soap

We researched hundreds of soaps using lists with 500+ names for palm oil ingredients to find palm free bar soap. We have verified the soaps above do not contain palm oil derivatives. However, this list is not guaranteed. Please do your own due diligence.

Depending on your skin type — normal, oily, dry, acne-prone — you can find a soap without palm oil.

Use these soaps throughout your home. Keep one at each sink in your kitchen and bathRoom. Keep another bar by your shower or bath. 

Find palm oil free soap

It’s typical for soap manufacturers to use palm oil as an ingredient in soap. Why? It’s inexpensive and binds the soap together. Learn about palm oil uses.

Companies use ingredients such as Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate to do the following:

• Create foam, lather, and suds
• Help smooth the soap over your skin
• Remove oil and dirt from your skin

Other common palm oil derivatives in soap include Sodium Palmate, Glycerin, and Tocopherols.

Why Use Palm Free Soap

Like many people who want to use soap without sodium lauryl sulfate, many people choose to avoid palm oil because of all the chemicals. Other avoid it for environmental reasons. In addition, some consumers avoid palm oil for health reasons.

Palm oil in soap is common. Chemical and ingredients in soap and from other topical products may be absorbed into your skin, the body’s largest organ.

Palm oil is inexpensive and prevalent in soap. Soap manufacturers use it in many ways in order to save money. Learn how to use less palm oil each week.

Finding soap without palm oil

If the soap you are using doesn’t say palm oil, palm kernel oil, or red palm oil, it still may contain palm oil. Sodium Palmate is made using palm oil.

Consumers seek out “All Natural” and other types of trending, healthy-seeming soaps. However, when you read the ingredients, often you will find they contain palm oil and palm oil derivatives, including Sodium Palmate, Citric Acid, Tocopherols, and more.

For instance, these types of soaps still often contain palm oil ingredients:

• Castile soap – Read ingredients before you buy castile soap. Even leading brands contain palm oil and palm oil derivatives.
• Coconut soap
• Goat milk soap
• Glycerin soap – If it’s not spelled out on the ingredient label, you will have to check with the manufacturer to know the source of the glycerin.
• Handmade soap
• Lavender soap
• Natural soap
• Bodywash
• Oatmeal soap
• Organic soap
• Shea butter soap

You may be stunned to read the ingredients to find they are usually made with sulfates, and other ingredients, most of which are derived from palm oil.

Liquid Soap without Palm Oil 

Updated 2024: The only liquid soap I believe to be palm oil free is from a company called Whispering Willow.

Updated 2019: I am updating here because I just returned from an Oils party. Guests could pay to make different products. I went with the sole purpose of buying a palm oil free liquid soap.

The hostess instructed us to use a few drops of essential oil, Glycerin and Castile Soap. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make the soap because there was a bottle of Glycerin with no ingredients listed other than “Glycerin.” When I arrived home and researched the company, I learned their Glycerin derived from palm oil. For whatever reason, they didn’t list this on the product.

Additionally, the Castile Soap, with it’s gleaming, healthy-seeming bottle, contained multiple palm oil derivatives.
