Aligned with international leaders in sustainability

Our award-winning vegan skincare and organic skincare products are independently certified by world-recognised entities. Certification provides transparency and objectivity, so you can trust that our formulations are kind to skin and planet – and that we hold ourselves accountable with every audit.

For the sake of our planet, reducing our consumption of animal products and reliance on toxic chemicals is non-negotiable. Instead of chemical-intensive farming methods that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, our natural, vegan, and organic skincare products harness the power of plants to achieve healthy looking skin.

Aligned with international leaders in sustainability

Certified vegan and proudly free from animal testing

The destructive impact of animal agriculture on our environment has been well documented. The United Nations and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) both recommend reducing the consumption of animal products to help reduce greenhouse gases, carbon emissions, and destruction to land and waterways. The way forward is clear: our sustainable future lies in plant power.

We spend significant time and effort on developing formulations that are authentically vegan – which means we look at the life cycle of a product from plant to (recycling) plant.

Our vegan skincare range is certified by the UK Vegetarian Society (VegSoc), an internationally recognised organisation. To display this certification on our packaging, we must meet strict criteria, including demonstrating that our products are:

Vegan approved skincare

✓ Free from animal testing

✓ Free from animal ingredients and by-products

✓ Free from genetically modified organisms

✓ Free from cross-contamination during the production process

Annual third party audits ensure that our vegan skincare status remains authentic.

For us, living vegan means going beyond formulation to packaging, too. From harmful production processes to the horrific level of waste produced each year, plastic has a devastating impact on animals and the environment in which they live. We choose kerbside recyclable materials like glass and aluminium, so they won’t end up in landfill or waterways.

“Brands who use primarily plastic packaging should take care not to call themselves vegan – because plastic is incredibly damaging to animals’ habitats. We reject plastic in favour of glass and aluminium, which actively contribute to less plastic.”

“In my eyes, it’s disingenuous for a brand which uses primarily plastic packaging to call themselves vegan – because the process of creating and disposing of plastic is incredibly damaging to animals’ habitats. We reject plastic in favour of recyclable glass and aluminium: premium materials which actively contribute to the reduction of plastic in landfill and waterways.”
