What base cream do you use?
We don’t use one. We make oil and water extracts of our herbs and combine these using vegetable emulsifiers – all our formulations are unique.
Animal testing?
All our products are tested on human animals only!
Where do you grow the herbs?
In the beautiful Welsh Border county of Herefordshire – home to many organic growers and producers. We are currently the only UK company
who grow and process the herbs to make our skin care products on the farm.
Are the products vegan?
The only ingredient we use that some vegans like to avoid is beeswax – this is in the Lip Conditioner, Working Hands Cream and the Whole Body Lotion.
Why are some of the products labelled as 100% whilst others are labeled as 70% organic?
When we make a cream using herbal oils and water we need a
strong *emulsifying system to combine the them to make a wonderful smooth cream. All the emulsifiers are plant-based, but none are yet available organically.
Our face and body oils and our balms do not need this and are therefore virtually 100% Organic.
