Why we choose to be palm oil free
Here at LittleOak, we are proud to be the world’s first 100% certified palm oil free formula.
Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil that comes from the fruit of oil palm trees. While this might sound positively tropical, palm oil is, in fact, high in saturated fat, which has long been linked to heart disease. More concerningly, palm oil is largely extracted from the palm kernel using chemical solvents like hexane - which is a form of petroleum.
Palm oil blocks the absorption of calcium, fat and DHA in babies and children - all essential building blocks for strong growth and development. Just as importantly, it’s not good for our environment. Palm oil has been and continues to be a major cause of deforestation, destroying the habitat of endangered species like the Orangutan, and contributing to climate change.
Certification: We are proud to be the first formula in the world to be certified 100% Palm Oil Free by the internationally recognised Palm Oil Free Certification Trademark (POFCAP). Because it’s better for baby and better for the environment.
