Hi, how are you?
At Sunjin Beauty Science, we are committed to practicing sustainable management, and RSPO certification is a core part of our internal sustainability policy.
In January 2025, we successfully completed the five-year renewal audit required by the RSPO with zero non-conformities.
RSPO stands for Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, a global initiative established to prevent environmental destruction caused by unsustainable palm oil production and to promote sustainable production and distribution.
* What is palm oil?
Palm oil is a plant-based oil extracted from oil palm fruit. It is widely used in a variety of products — from processed foods like bread, cookies, cereal, instant noodles, chocolate, and margarine, to everyday consumer goods such as soap, detergent, lipstick, and shaving cream.
RSPO certification applies to the entire supply chain, from palm oil production to manufacturing, processing, distribution, and final consumption. All stakeholders within this supply chain must obtain and maintain certification to sell RSPO-certified products and ensure sustainability values are upheld.
Through this interconnected structure, the entire supply chain contributes to responsible environmental stewardship and social standards, ultimately delivering sustainable products to consumers.
On February 3, 2025, the RSPO launched PRISMA, a digital certification and data management platform aimed at enhancing transparency and operational efficiency.
Due to the transition to this new platform, temporary technical issues led to a delay of more than one month in the issuance of renewed certificates, prompting a number of customer inquiries. The issue has now been resolved and the updated certificate has been officially issued.
Sunjin strictly uses only palm-derived raw materials with RSPO certification and currently offers over 80 products certified under the MB* model.
*RSPO Supply Chain Models:
–IP (Identity Preserved): Certified oil from a single identifiable plantation
–SG (Segregated): Certified oil from multiple plantations, kept separate from non-certified oil
–MB (Mass Balance): Certified and non-certified oils may be mixed within controlled systems
You can check Sunjin’s RSPO certification status on the official RSPO website.
Sustainability and Supply chain transparency are core values that Sunjin pursues.
We will continue to lead in eco-conscious management practices based on RSPO certification and fulfill our promise for a better planet and society.
