Does Universal Cleaner contain palm oil?

No. Koh Universal Cleaner doesn't contain palm oil, palm kernel oil, or any palm-derived surfactants, emulsifiers, or processing aids. The formula has only two ingredients: potassium hydroxide (alkali degreaser) and reverse osmosis water (ultra-pure solvent). It's also free of fragrances, dyes, preservatives, and animal-derived ingredients. The simplicity of the formula is what allows Koh Universal Cleaner to clear Allergy UK certification and other independent ethical and sensitivity standards.
