Absolutely! None of our products contain any animal-derived ingredients. 

We do not test on animals. We are approved as cruelty-free under the Leaping Bunny programme, the best assurance that a company has made a genuine commitment to ending animal testing.

We think the use of the word “natural” to refer to skincare products is vague, can be misleading and it’s been used and abused by brands. Natural is different things to different people. Arsenic is natural. Water is natural. We formulate our products with the highest quality – and often organic – oils, butters and plant-derived ingredients. We never use animal-derived ingredients and we never use petroleum-derived ingredients. Read more on where we stand on “natural”

No. We choose to work with weak salts and acids to preserve our products. Some people might call these “natural preservation systems”.⁠ Read more about where we stand on preservatives.

We don’t use synthetic fragrance in any our our products. We only use very low percentages of certified organic essential oils from plants and then mainly on body products, in order to minimise the risk of irritation. Read more on where we stand on fragrance in skincare.

Microbeads are banned in the EU.

We’ve taken precautions not to use ingredients that can be harsh on the skin (e.g. certain preservatives, essential oils, etc.) so our products are very gentle on sensitive skin. However, it is foreseeable that everyone could have an adverse reaction to a skincare product at any time so if you have super sensitive skin, always patch test any product prior to use. 

We use oils, butters, organic essential oils and botanical extracts in our products and none of our ingredients are contraindicated during pregnancy. However, if you are in any doubt, please ask your medical practitioner or doctor.

We use alternatives to palm oil in nearly all our products. Those that aren’t, use RSPO-certified derivatives. This is a complex and sensitive matter. Read where we stand on palm oil.
