Sustainable Beauty is something we should all be working towards and it does not always need to cost the Earth … quite literally!
In this section of the journal you’ll see how to safely make your own face masks.
Read how excited we are about gaining The Vegan Society trusted trademark.
And sadly to share the cancellation of the refill lip balm initiative due to a lack of response. We are not deterred. Possibly we were ahead of the curve when we launched the refill option. We hope to reintroduce the system again in the future if the interest is there.
You can read all about this here in our sustainable beauty section of the journal.
Here we also shine a spotlight on our fantastic new micellar water and toner. We say it’s fantastic and the messages of thanks that come our way are just so humbling to see. Our repeat orders also confirm that not only have we created a sustainable beauty product but we have made something pretty wonderful and effective too.
We strongly believe that sustainable beauty is here for the long term.
Knowing what we know, seeing the state of our world, how can we make anything other than sustainable beauty products. We just wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
In time the measure of what is exactly sustainable and how we implement it will change and evolve, that we are confident on.
We have huge ambitions for the future but we don’t think the world….sorry, people in general are truly ready for the changes that need to happen… not just yet.
We are determined to be a part of the change that is coming, we hope you can support us along the way to bring about this needed change.
