Raw Material

Good and Bad Palm Oil

When palm oil is grown unsustainably it can have a major impact on communities and the environment, sometimes destroying forests and the homes of animals such as the orangutang and the Sumatran tiger. If grown sustainably, palm oil production can benefit local communities, and help protect valuable species and forests. By using sustainable practices, farmers can increase their income by producing more palm oil from a smaller area.

Real Saboaria soaps & RSPO certification

RSPO certification mirrors Real Saboaria’s care in the selection of its raw materials and how committed to supporting the sustainable production of palm oil worldwide the company is. Real Saboaria’s RSPO supply chain certification is segregated, which guarantees that all the soap mass comes exclusively from plantations that meet the requirements.

Manufacturing

From the first to the last moment

The factory, which operates under the ISO – 22716:2007 certificate, was built taking into consideration all the site’s surroundings and weather conditions, in order to reduce or eliminate all energy costs in heating and cooling operations, as well as to reduce the production of greenhouse gases.

Packaging

All the way to you or your loved ones

When packing and shipping our products, there are several steps we take to reduce the environmental footprint. We make the most of the paper area in order to avoid waste. We reduce or abolish glue points completely. The paper and cardboard used are FSC certified, which is a certification that ensures good forest management standards. We provide all information and catalogues in digital media. And we seek, whenever possible, to turn to suppliers who are as close as possible to the manufacturing site.
