Question 1

Why should I use oils?

Accepted Answer

Body and face creams are made largely of water, while oils are all natural nourishment.  Although our skin needs water, we believe the best time to use the oils is after a bath or shower where you can use the oils on damp skin and get the water content for free.

Our oils are designed to feel nourishing not ‘oily’.  A little goes a long way so only a small amount is needed to gain all its wonderful benefits.

Keeping your routine simple helps the skin rebalance.

Question 6

How are you eco-conscious?

Accepted Answer

We aim for our products and packaging to be reused before recycled and sourced as locally as possible.

We use glass or aluminium bottles so these can be washed and re-used.  Our bottle labels are fully compostable for your home compost.  The boxes, papers, fabrics, cord and labels we use are either from sustainable or recycled sources.

We only use ethically and environmentally conscious suppliers who strive to improve this when or as that becomes possible.  We feel that using suppliers with a similar ethos to ours is vital to our customers to believe in our brand.

Question 7

How is your packaging reusable?

Accepted Answer

All our luxury gifts boxes are fully recyclable but have been designed to be strong enough but small enough to be used for storage without cluttering your home.

Use the bottles to display small flowers
-  Each gift comes with a dried sprig of lavender, try displaying it in a used oil bottle.  The petals will smell great and look delicate on a hallway table or on a window cill.
-  The label on the oil bottle is fully compostable in your garden compost.  The label is attached with a strong, biodegradable, oil proof adhesive.  This can leave a sticky residue which is easily removed using a tiny amount of bicarb and vinegar.  Remember the mix will fizz and you only need a tiny amount, we use an 1/8 tsp bicarb to 1/4tsp vinegar -  mix together and using a cloth rub to remove stickiness and rinse with water.
