Plastic has been on our minds lately! Both it's detrimental effect on environment and the positive steps we can take to eliminate it from our lives. We are happy to learn that it's trickling its way up official channels and that UK will be banning plastic materials as early as next year! As a green brand, we are fully committed to driving down our environmental footprint in EVERY single step of our journey, from where we source our raw materials to packaging choices and all the way to consumer empowerment through information.

A 'mutant' enzyme that has evolved to digest plastic.A positive outcome of a rather unfortunate and ongoing process of plastic waste. A promising solution to landfills brimming with plastic waste, but by no means a 'carte blanche' to continue in wasteful patterns of our current consumer society. A reminder to all of us to be mindful of how we contribute (or not) to such a trend from our daily actions!

Lab 'Accident' Becomes Mutant Enzyme That Devours Plastic A new enzyme unintentionally produced by researchers has a voracious appetite for plastic.

We have been busy bees lately, keeping behind the scenes, researching new trends, meeting with new (and local) suppliers, and attending Amsterdam in-Cosmetic global convention! Now we are bringing all of that inspired energy to our formulation lab. Stay tuned for new updates and formulations!

Being mindful of what you put on your skin is also being mindful of the products and ingredients you use in your daily life, especially those non-biodegradable pollutants that are used at alarming rates as one-time use, throwaway items.

Plastic straws suck Ordering your drinks without straws is a small sacrifice but a big step to reducing the amount of plastic we produce and waste.

Eat-me-not chocolate orange whipped body butter. It smells so good we had to put a *warning label* on it😆. This batch has a higher percentage of cacao butter for its lovely chocolate smell. And to up the ante, we infused raw cacao powder in flaxseed oil. The addition of flaxseed oil provides a 'drier' feeling to the butter (well as much as whipped butter can be!). Flaxseed oil is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, adding moisture to the skin without being too oily. This fantastic oil is also known to even the skin tone - a great addition to any skincare regimen👌🏽.

Happy and successful new year to all! 🎆. How did you start your first day of the new year? We have concocted this chocolate balls because, as we all know, what you put inside your mouth, ends up on your skin💆‍♀️. So treat your skin nicely from inside (and it doesn't hurt if it tasted fantastically delicious) 😉.

Would you like a splash of coffee with your skincare routine? 😋. We are loving the texture and the aroma of our coffee body balm creation ☕! By now it has become an almost common place standard to ensure that your morning cup of joe comes from Fair Trade sources with organic and eco certification attached🐰. Make sure to apply the same scrutiny to your skincare, as part (or all) of the ingredients end up in your bloodstream! Be a conscious consumer as this will not only reward your own skin but have a knock off positive effects on the entire production chain 😉.
