We have been invited (at very short notice), to enter Botanicals for ' The Beauty Shortlist': '80% glam, 90% green, 100% behind ethical beauty brands'.

Unfortunately, entry to most of the categories has now been closed - apart from ‘Best Intensive Hand Therapy Cream’. Let’s hope that our lavender and chamomile hand & body balm, and anti-aging hand & nail serum hold their own!

Congratulations to Fiona on creating such an informative website and resource. I’ve read with great interest your Beauty Predictions for 2013, and fully endorse the item on ‘green washing’ ( see previous post).

You are absolutely right. Now is the time for authentic, ethical brands that are truly ‘natural and ‘organic’ to shout about it!

How much does truly ‘natural and organic’ matter to you? Let me know in the comments below.
