PalmSmart

Palm oil is a versatile, edible oil found in everything from candy to toothpaste. Unfortunately, its production is causing widespread deforestation and driving the orangutan towards extinction.

PalmSmart helps you make environmentally sound consumer choices by identifying products that contain palm oil, and telling you how sustainably it is produced. You simply scan a product's barcode with your mobile device's camera and the item will be checked against our extensive database.

With PalmSmart, you can get involved, too. You can easily send a tweet, specially tailored to each product's manufacturer, urging them to stop using palm oil that causes deforestation, or encouraging them to live up to their environmental commitments.

Our database is large, with tens of thousands of products, mostly from the American marketplace, and you can also get involved by helping us keep it up to date. Just answer some simple questions about any missing item you find, and you can help us to help others make ethical shopping choices!

Does not work at all. I purposely scanned items that are well known that contain palm oil to see if it works and all the items I scanned said it didn't know the brand or if it contained palm. It literally says right there in the ingredients so don't even waste time just research all the names for it

Palm Smart is easy to use and has a decent database. I like using this app alongside the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo palm oil app and base my shopping on ratings by each. They differ slightly in their ratings.

So far, I've found 3 products to add to data base, in first 24 hours, so it's a chance to make a contribution, as well as a tool. Has some great educational info as well. I like it 🤗
