TIL my favorite acid toner relies on palm oil derivatives, sparking a sustainability versus efficacy conflict

Part of me values the visible results it gives my skin, yet I'm aware of the deforestation linked to its ingredients. Discovering this has made my nightly application feel morally ambiguous. How do you balance personal skincare goals with broader ethical considerations?

Ngl that's genuinely shocking they'd use palm oil derivatives without transparency. Honestly feels like companies bank on us not checking ingredient sourcing. Makes that whole efficacy versus ethics debate so much harder to navigate.

Palm oil derivatives in that context? It's alarming they'd avoid transparency so blatantly.

What if they're just guarding trade secrets?
