Sustainability is a big issue for consumers and companies worldwide. And\u00a0according to a recent article<\/a> referencing suppliers at in-cosmetics 2016, the\u00a0biggest\u00a0push for more sustainable alternatives to popular ingredients has come from manufacturers and consumers in the U.S. One of the ingredients that has been a focal point in discussions around sustainability\u00a0is palm oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the Round Table on Sustainable Palm Oil (rspo.org), issues surrounding this\u00a0high-yield vegetable oil <\/a>crop are\u00a0deforestation, displacement of\u00a0people from their lands and communities and unfair treatment of workers. Organizations like the RSPO exist to find better ways to produce palm oil. But many companies are looking to replace it all together.<\/p>\n

Some ingredients trending as palm replacers are derivatives of\u00a0fig<\/a>, rice bran<\/a>, rosemary<\/a> and aloe<\/a>. The graph above\u00a0represents formulator search data aggregated from the Prospector search engine in UL’s Industry Analytics tool.\u00a0Aloe is the clear winner in Q1 of 2016 with rice bran and rosemary coming in a close second and third and interest in fig trailing further behind.<\/p>\n

Another way to drill through the data above: relative volume. The\u00a0bar graph behind the trend lines illustrates the actual amount of searches for each ingredient keyword. Using this approach, we can see that in Q1 of 2016, there were 2.5 times more searches for “aloe” than for “rice bran,” and about 12 times more searches for “aloe” than for “fig.”<\/p>\n
