Just because something is vegan doesn't mean animals weren't harmed.

Ave, is palm oil ever listed as anything else, I know sometimes ingredients are given different names? I got on Urban Decay since you said they used it and looked through quite a few of their vegan products (not all) but never saw it listed, maybe I just had the random chance of not selecting one that had it. Does it tend to be in a certain type of product (as in just products that are creamy or powdery)? Thanks for the link on the palm oil. It is so sad!

PKO – Palm Kernel Oil
PKO fractionations: Palm Kernel Stearin (PKs); Palm Kernel Olein (PKOo)
PHPKO – Partially hydrogenated Palm Oil
FP (K) O – Fractionated Palm Oil
OPKO – Organic Palm Kernel Oil
Palmitate – Vitamin A or Asorbyl Palmitate (NOTE: Vitamin A Palmitate is a very common ingredient in breakfast cereals and we have confirmed 100% of the samples we’ve investigated to be derived from palm oil)
Palmate
Sodium Laureth Sulphate (Can also be from coconut)
Sodium Lauryl Sulphates (can also be from ricinus oil)
Sodium dodecyl Sulphate (SDS or NaDS)
Elaeis Guineensis
Glyceryl Stearate

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (coconut and/or palm)
Hydrated palm glycerides
Sodium isostearoyl lactylaye (derived from vegetable stearic acid)
Cetyl palmitate and octyl palmitate (names with palmitate at the end are usually derived from palm oil, but as in the case of Vitamin A Palmitate, very rarely a company will use a different vegetable oil)

Why can't the damn ingredient lists just say palm oil... These companies try to keep us stupid and it's just down right deceitful

I completely agree Tiffany.

Thanks for providing the information! Greatly appreciated. Educated consumers are compassionate consumers and this will definitely impact future purchases. I still going to do my own research too.

I know Tiffany so confusing. I try my hardest to buy cruelty free when I can, but they make it so hard.
