Colgate-Palmolive has entered a multi-year partnership with Dutch biotech firm NoPalm Ingredients to industrialize soap bars made from fermentation-based oil alternatives rather than palm oil. The collaboration aims to bring sustainable, yeast-derived oils developed from upcycled agri-food side streams into mainstream personal care products, focusing on soap bars. This move comes as the industry reduces its reliance on traditional palm oil and embraces eco-conscious alternatives.
