our list of 'no's'

After personal experience with having reactions to so many products, the desire for a clean ingredient list was the main driver for creating the range. I knew I only wanted to actually bring the range to life if someone could adhere to all the values I had for it. In the initial design brief, I was able to list all the things I didn't want to be in there, and what's listed below is exactly what I said.

 

• No harmful chemicals are to be used
• No parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, mineral oils or other synthetic substances
• No palm oil
• No Alkyl Sulphates (e.g. Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, Sodium Coco Sulphate, Ammonium Lauryl Sulphate)
• No Alkyl Ether Sulphates (e.g. Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Ammonium Laureth Sulphate)
• No fragrances and other colour components of non-organic or synthetic source
• No talc
• No products of animal origins
• No honey or beeswax
• No anti-microbial agents not produced from organic sources
• Emulsifiers, preserving ingredients, thickening agents, alcohols, surfactants and emollients are all to be naturally derived
• No chelating agents based on EDTA and its salts
• No ethoxylation and propoxylation
• No Polyethylene Glycol (PEGS)
• No Polysorbates (e.g. Polysorbate 20)
• No Ethanolamides (e.g. Cocamide DEA, Cocamide MEA)
• No potentially harmful preservatives

 

I wanted to make sure that only the purest ingredients have been used in the range to ensure that this is a brand you can have 100% trust in. There are no tricks or gimmicks - just the bare essentials.
