Natural Ingredients A-Z


Transparency is important to us.

You should be able to look at the ingredient list on your bath & body products, and recognise each without having a chemistry degree. As a customer, you have the right to know exactly what you are putting on your body. We only use naturally derived plant and mineral ingredients which are as close to nature as they can be. We don’t need to hide potentially toxic ingredients behind technical names and numbers.

Our Naturopathic approach means we believe the greatest benefit comes from using the whole plant ingredient, with as minimal processing as possible. That means we aim to source the best quality ingredients and treat them gently to keep their nutrients and health benefits intact. We want you to experience the best results from your natural bath and body products, as nature intended. 

We make every effort to source ingredients which are produced sustainably and locally. When we use imported products, we try to source them from ethical producers to ensure our business supports thriving environments and communities. This is an ongoing commitment, and we really believe business can be a driving force for a fairer, healthier World.
