Does Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner contain palm oil?Updated 9 days ago
TL;DR: Two of the ingredients in Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner are palm-derived surfactants: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine. Every surfactant in the formula comes from suppliers certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), an independent body that audits palm oil supply chains. The formula is not palm-free.
Does it contain palm oil?
✓ Two palm-derived ingredients, both named
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine are the two palm-derived surfactants in Kitchen Grease & Oil Cleaner. Both appear on the ingredient list, and both are common surfactants across the cleaning industry.
✓ RSPO-certified suppliers
Every surfactant in the formula comes from suppliers certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), an independent certification body that audits palm oil supply chains against environmental and social standards.
Why does the formula use palm-derived surfactants?
✓ Palm surfactants perform across pH
Palm is the feedstock most cleaning surfactants are built from. It yields more oil per hectare than other vegetable oils, and the surfactants it produces perform reliably across a range of pH values, which matters in a mildly alkaline formula.
✓ What RSPO certification covers
Coconut-derived surfactants carry their own land-use and sourcing questions, and petroleum-derived surfactants bring different ones. Koh's position is RSPO-certified sourcing, so the palm content is tracked through an independent certification system.
