Many of us are familiar with single-use make-up removal wipes and cotton wool pads. After all, they are convenient. However, they come with a cost to the environment. Many wipes contain plastic, and even if they don’t, they’re not recyclable. Cotton (for pads and balls) unless it’s organic, puts a lot of pressure on the…

Inika… Natural, Cruelty Free Lip Smacking Beauty
Lip balm is one of the most frequently applied beauty products, yet often contains a cocktail of preservatives, fragrances and all kinds of chemicals that you wouldn’t generally decide to take into your body.

Many perfumes contain a mix of chemicals that have been linked to hormone disruption and cancer. Many of the ingredients in perfumes can also lead to allergies, and affect those with…

Do you get dry hands on a regular basis? Flaky skin? Red, sore patches? It might not be just the water and the central heating in your home. It could be the harsh chemicals in your hand wash. Liquid hand soaps are really popular, because they are much easier to use, and don’t hold on…
