Key Ingredients

Why Organic?

A key aim for us has been to utilise the qualities of organic ingredients, which are grown and harvested/extracted without the use of harsh chemicals. Organic ingredients help to support environmentally responsible farming practices eliminating the use of non genetically modified organisms (GMO) in crops. In addition the inclusion of fair trade ingredients contributes to the protection of the local communities where the crops are grown, for example Shea Butter from Africa.
