Encouraging the use of products that don't contain any oil is indeed good for the rainforest.
But be careful, the way you phrased it could encourage people to use products that use another vegetable oil, which requires even more hectares to produce (palm oil yield is 5 times higher than the next highest oil yield), and could lead to even more deforestation.
