Why opt for natural, ethical and organic?

The skin is a living, breathing tissue that covers and protects the body, but it also absorbs substances that come into contact with it. Just as prescription drugs can be delivered through our skin via a patch - lotions, soaps, shampoos, and other body care products are also absorbed by our skin. If you use products made with chemicals, these may be absorbed into your body. Conversely, your body will absorb all natural ingredients when you use organic and natural products.

Organic and natural ingredients are more effective than the petroleum derivatives & waxes found in conventional skincare – petroleum can clog pores and chemicals can also be absorbed into the body via the skin.

Natural ingredients enhance your body's natural healing and regenerative capabilities, working with it not against as some of the more chemical ingredients can.

The use of products derived from petroleum (non-renewable source) profit the environmentally hazardous and multi billion dollar Petroleum Industries.

Organic ingredients mean less chemicals/residue pesticides and fertilisers polluting your skin and the environment. Organic farming works in harmony with nature and does not deplete the soil's natural minerals or create dis-harmony in the local environment.

Many conventional skin care products have animal sources, e.g. slaughterhouse by-products such as gelatine, collagen, animal-based emulsifiers and soap ingredients.

Many beauty products have vast amounts of waste in their packaging with plastic containers packed into boxes. The use of vintage tins and glass containers allows for a more ethical and green approach to skincare. This is further enhanced by a refill service to ensure your packaging is continually re-used.

No Animal Testing – many skincare companies advocate this kind of testing.
