A word about palm oil

The global debate and growing issues relating to the demand for palm oil have led us to seek out more sustainable solutions for our products, and some of these have already been successfully implemented. There are now just a small number of VIVANI products that require the use of palm oil, and we only ever use organic palm oil. The palm oil that we use is certified in line with the highest possible environmental standards available at present. Despite this, we are working to find ways to manufacture our products so that we don’t need to include any palm oil at all in the future. We are happy to provide more background information about this.
