Love this app. Trying to avoid palm oil and the app makes it easy to see products containing palm oil.

So far, I've found 3 products to add to data base, in first 24 hours, so it's a chance to make a contribution, as well as a tool. Has some great educational info as well. I like it 🤗

Palm Smart is easy to use and has a decent database. I like using this app alongside the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo palm oil app and base my shopping on ratings by each. They differ slightly in their ratings.
