Lemon Myrtle a Rainforest Plant, Grown Organically... by Rainforest Remedies
Rainforest Remedies Pty Ltd was formed by a small group of Australians who see the potential of bringing to the wider public the benefits of Lemon Myrtle, a unique, natural Australian product.
The company’s owners grow Lemon Myrtle organically in plantations situated in the sub-tropical north-east corner of New South Wales, noted for its rich red volcanic soil, high rainfall and lush growing conditions.
Palm Oil use
The Lemon Myrtle Soap is the only product of ours that contains ingredients derived from palm oil. The palm oil is sourced from a 70 year old plantation on one of the Malaysian islands, which was previously a rubber plantation that has been converted to a palm plantation when synthetic rubber reduced the demand for natural rubber. This plantation has been certified by RSPO as a Sustainable Palm Oil Plantation.
We have investigated using different ingredients in our soap but have not been able to come up with anything that gives us the same quality and is more environmentally friendly then the ingredients derived from palm oil that we are using at present.
