Forestwise is a company that produces ingredients like elipe nut butter from rainforest products as an alternative to palm oil.
Their main product is Ilipe nut butter, which can be used in cosmetics and foods as a replacement for ingredients derived from palm oil.
They work with over 1,000 collectors in Borneo who gather elipe nuts from the standing rainforest.
Their model incentivizes communities to preserve rainforests rather than clearing them for palm oil plantations.
Elipe butter cannot directly replace palm oil one-for-one but allows reformulating products without palm oil derivatives.
Some brands already using their ingredients include Lush, Essential Botanicals, and Ladson.
Transparency and traceability of supply chains is becoming more important for brands to prove sustainable sourcing.
They face challenges getting large customers initially but regulations are now pushing companies towards sustainable ingredients.
An app is being developed to provide full traceability of their supply chain down to the individual farmer level.
Their goal is to inspire more businesses utilizing standing rainforest products rather than clearing forests for monocultures.
