We don't use palm-oil and it is an absolute no, no for us. Even the hidden kind of stuff. Unfortunately there are a lot of those where palm-oil function as the base. Don't be fooled! There are many ingredients being used in formulation that might not be clear they are palm-oil based. So watch out for words ending in "-palmitate" such as ingredients like the new oil-based Vitamin C called Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate  which one can find in any oil-based Vitamin C product.
