Where possible, our ingredients are organic – meaning they are free from man-made fertilisers, pesticides and growth regulators. If organic is not an option, we work with producers who follow organic guidelines or ethically wild-harvest using rules outlined by United Plant Savers.
We source our ingredients from within the UK wherever possible to keep transportation to a minimum. When we need ingredients from overseas, we work with Akoma Skincare who source organic ingredients from Fair Trade cooperatives in Ghana, using traditional methods that don’t harm the environment. In turn, Akoma helps the local community improve their job prospects, their education and their health.
We don’t use any Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), alcohol, parabens, nanoparticles, mineral oils, talc, synthetic fragrance, sulphates, siloxane, petroleum or aluminium in our skincare products. These toxic chemicals can cause a host of problems for our body and contaminate our waterways and soil, harming fish and wildlife.
We are a cruelty-free, vegan company meaning that neither we nor our suppliers conduct, commission, or pay for any tests on animals for their ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and won’t do so in the future
Our jars are made with recycled glass from the UK, conserving non-renewable fossil fuels and reducing the emission of harmful gasses into the atmosphere. Customers can post their jars and bottles to us after use, for free, and we will give them 10% off their next purchase as an incentive to reuse and recycle.
All packaging is printed locally, using eco vegetable-based inks and 100% recycled paper.
We are working hard to remove all unrecyclable plastic from our products. We believe in doing everything we can to reduce the use of plastic, which is why we use glass jars and FSC approved card.
We are partnered with the Carbon Trust, who lead transformational projects to facilitate a significant change in the way energy is produced, distributed and consumed. We are also a member of the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity, the Woodland Trust, that protects the country’s woods, plants trees, and restores ancient woodland for the benefit of wildlife and people.
