OneSmallSwap
Working with nature, we can make a world of difference...
2020's Organic Beauty & Wellbeing Week is a campaign celebrating the power of organic and nature.
Making one small swap to your self-care routine is the first step to making a world of difference.
So join us from 7th - 13th September. We are calling on you to join the conversation that champions kindness to the planet by raising awareness of the benefits of organic, including:
Sustainably sourced ingredients
Protected wildlife and biodiversity
No controversial chemicals
No synthetic colours, dyes or fragrances
NEVER tested on animals
Minimal packaging with maximum recycled content
Look for the logo!
Did you know, there is no legislation in place to monitor the use of the word "organic" within beauty & wellbeing products?
Don't worry - you're not alone! Over 50% of people we asked in our research didn't know either.
This is why opting for Organic Certification is so important. Looking for the 'Soil Association Organic', or the 'Soil Association COSMOS Organic' logo is a stamp of approval that the product has passed strict guidelines - and really is, ORGANIC!
