SUSTAINABILITY
Great skincare and good-looking skin should not come at a cost to our planet, therefore as
responsible and conscious producers we commit to reducing our waste, carbon foot-print and
energy needs as much possible.
RAW MATERIALS
Our raw materials are acquired where ever possible from local suppliers. Although some of the
ingredients we use does not naturally grow in Europe, all of our suppliers are organic certified
and operate under Fair Trade. We make sure to bulk import with other producers to lower our
carbon footprint in terms of transport.
We also work with local farmers to produce raw materials specifically for us, at an honourable
and fair price.
VEGAN
Our raw materials are VEGAN. Vegetable oils, herbal extracts, plant butters and waxes and floral
waters.
BEESWAX AND HONEY
Bees are very important to our life on this planet as they pollinate the very food which we consume.
Therefore you will find beeswax and honey in a select few products – some CBD balms
and the Hemp & Honey range. We support organic bee-farming. Which is natural and no bees
are harmed.
MANUFACTURING
We primarily manufacture by hand – this decreases our energy consumption and carbon footprint,
as our energy requirement for machines is almost carbon-neutral.
HAND-MADE
Our production facility is designed to enable 90% of our activities to be done by hand. From
weighing, mixing, filling, capping, labelling and boxing. Each product is made with loving care
and the human-touch.
This type of production method ensures that the raw ingredients we use retain their powerful
properties and are not destroyed by big magnetic fields found in large machinery. Thus also
decreasing our energy consumption and carbon footprint.
COMMUNITY
We are able to create many jobs in our local community and therefore make a difference in other
people’s lives.
CAPACITY
We are able to produce, label and box 2000 creams per day and 3000 bottles of oil.
