Essential Care

Whereas organic food must meet legal standards, the same does not apply to beauty products. The term ‘organic’ can be used on products that contain literally a whiff of organic essential oil which leaves a massive loophole open to exploitation. But there may be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel...

At the very beginning of 2011 I remember sitting down with Margaret (and Mum) and carving out a plan to launch our makeup in time for our major trade event (Organic & Natural Products Europe in London) in April. It had already been two years and many trials and tribulations in the making, and such a short deadline was a big ‘ask’. We knew the stars really had to align if the certification, design and raw materials deliveries would all come together in time. In a way they had to; I was due to give birth...

.....we would like to thank all our loyal customers for your support. Without you, none of what we do would be possible. We look forward to hearing from you again in 2012.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year
