When you see “palm oil-free” on our packaging, it’s more than just another ingredient we’ve chosen to leave out. It’s a promise. A commitment to your skin, our planet, and the communities whose lives are intertwined with the choices we make every single day.

At Unwrapped, going palm oil-free wasn’t just about following a trend. It was about asking ourselves: what kind of legacy do we want to leave? What kind of world do we want our children to inherit?

For Your Skin: Pure, Gentle Nourishment

Your skin deserves ingredients that love it back. Palm oil, while widely used in skincare, can be comedogenic for many people, meaning it has a tendency to clog pores. Instead, we’ve chosen a symphony of skin-loving oils that work in harmony with your natural balance.

Our olive oil brings centuries of Mediterranean wisdom, deeply moisturizing without overwhelming. Organic coconut oil offers gentle cleansing properties, while sunflower and castor oils provide the perfect balance of nourishment and protection. These aren’t just alternatives to palm oil. They’re upgrades.

When you lather up with our Almond Milk & Honey soap or let the aromatic blend of our Ylang Ylang & Geranium bar transport you, you’re experiencing what happens when we choose quality over convenience, intention over industry standards.

For Our Planet: Protecting What Matters Most

The palm oil industry has become one of the leading causes of deforestation worldwide. Ancient rainforests, some that have stood for thousands of years, are being cleared at an alarming rate to make way for palm plantations. These aren’t just trees. They’re entire ecosystems, home to orangutans, tigers, elephants, and countless other species.

By choosing palm oil-free, we’re saying no to this destruction. We’re part of a growing movement of brands and consumers who believe that beauty shouldn’t cost the earth, literally.

Here in the UAE, we understand the precious nature of our environment. The desert teaches us that every resource is valuable, every choice has consequences. This wisdom guides us as we source our ingredients, always asking: does this choice honour the earth that sustains us?

For Ethical Sourcing: Supporting Fair Communities

Behind every ingredient is a story of farmers, families, communities. The palm oil industry, unfortunately, has a complicated relationship with human rights, often involving unfair labour practices and the displacement of indigenous communities.

When we choose olive oil from family farms in the Mediterranean, organic coconut oil from certified sustainable sources, and shea butter from women’s cooperatives in Africa, we’re not just selecting ingredients. We’re supporting livelihoods, preserving traditions, and ensuring that our beauty ritual contributes to a more just world.

The Ripple Effect of Your Choice

Every time you choose one of our palm oil-free products, you’re casting a vote. You’re saying yes to transparent ingredients, sustainable practices, and ethical sourcing. You’re part of a community that believes luxury and responsibility can beautifully coexist.

And here’s what we’ve discovered: when you remove palm oil and replace it with thoughtfully selected, high-quality oils, magic happens. Our soaps cure differently, feel different, and perform better. They’re creamier, longer-lasting, and gentler on your skin.

Beyond the Label

Being palm oil-free isn’t just about what we don’t include. It’s about what we do. It’s about our commitment to plastic-free packaging, our membership in 1% for the Planet, and our dedication to traditional soap-making methods that honor both time and craftsmanship.

It’s about proving that when we make conscious choices, we don’t just avoid harm. We create something beautiful, something better, something worth celebrating.

So the next time you hold one of our soap bars, remember: you’re holding more than a skincare product. You’re holding a promise to your skin, to our planet, and to the belief that true beauty comes from choices made with love, intention, and hope for tomorrow.

Because at Unwrapped, we believe that the most luxurious thing you can give yourself is the peace of mind that comes from knowing your choices are making the world a little more beautiful, one soap bar at a time.
