Central to my making of products, flower essences or teaching is the genuine wish to facilitate connection between us humans and the nature that surrounds us and that we depend upon.
Integrity & presence (aka mindfulness) are necessary components of this. When I harvest from plants, I do so with gratitude and reciprocity in mind.
I use mostly recyclable material, reuse packaging (thankyou Grainey Health Food Store!) and encourage everyone to reuse or recycle. Come join me on an ISSA Natural Cosmetic course if you want to learn to make your own products and reuse those containers!
For anyone local to me I offer refills of products where that is hygienically feasible. Contact me for more details.
All of the raw materials I use are the most ethically sound materials I can source. I see no difference between the micro and the macro - there is no point, morally, ethically or spiritually, in nourishing ourselves at the cost of the environment or biodiversity.
All my products are certified free of Palm Oil, and are Cruelty Free & Vegan. The vast majority of my ingredients are certified organic and sustainably harvested, produced by ethical companies of whom it is a pleasure to be a long-term customer. The exceptions to this are the Rosa Damascena Essential Oil, which is certified untreated rather than organic, and some ‘plant actives’ eg hyaluronic acid, which are not available organically. These are all still of the highest ethical quality & certified as such.
