A rare soap that is completely palm oil-free, using about 70% butter from the Tenkawan tree harvested in the hinterland of Borneo Island (West Kalimantan Province) in Indonesia. By using this butter as a raw material for products, it is possible to protect the remaining few natural forests from deforestation due to palm oil production and other factors, and to preserve natural forests.
In addition, we can continue to protect the life and culture of the Dayak people, a historical ethnic group that has lived with butter trees.
・ When making this soap, Ethical Giving can protect about 7.4 hectares of rainforest per year for every 2 kg of butter purchased.
・We will donate 1% of sales to the Borneo Conservation Trust Japan, a certified NPO, to increase the number of forests where wild animals can move freely.

* Compared to commercially available soap, it does not foam so well. Therefore, we recommend using a lather net.
* Precautions for use: It cannot be eaten. If it does not suit your skin, please discontinue use. Avoid high temperatures, humidity and direct sunlight.
* Palm oil is the most produced vegetable oil in the world. Japan is a major consumer of palm oil. It is used in instant noodles, potato chips, infant formula, detergents and shampoos. Deforestation for palm oil production has led to the loss of rainforests, also known as the "lungs of the earth," and as a result, orangutans and other rare wild animals are on the verge of extinction.
