There are very few things in life better than a massage. Especially now that it’s the summer and lots of us are taking the opportunity to take off on a quick summer getaway, or relax in the sunshine on an afternoon off, the practice of abhyanga (self-massage) is the best way to take that relaxation […]
Sustainable Beauty
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.

The Best Ethical Gifts are often something that has been made close to home
When thinking about sustainability and eco-friendly products, our minds often go straight to ingredients and materials. For example, depending on your own perspective and priorities you may wonder whether the product is vegan, whether it supports sustainable logging practices, whether it is natural, or whether it is plastic-free. When considering foods you may more often […]
