All of the certified organic and natural beauty products in our skincare range have vegetarian approved status. The highly esteemed VegSoc, or Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom, has awarded us this major recognition: it's the oldest vegetarian organization in the world.

The approval means if you're vegetarian, or opposed to the animal testing of beauty products, you can have confidence that a globally respected vegetarian organization has independently assessed our range and then given us the okay.

You can be assured we never, ever test our skincare on animals for one. And there's no cross contamination during the production process. All our products meet the Vegetarian Society's criteria that they are free from any animal ingredient resulting from slaughter and are free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Plus we do not use any animal by-products except honey, which is accepted and eaten by vegetarians because honeybees must make honey to live! Honey is a sustainable and completely renewable resource.

We also respect animals by caring for the environment we share with them, operating with the lowest possible environmental impact.

Established in 1848, the educational charity promotes understanding and respect for vegetarian lifestyles, and sets independent standards for truly vegetarian products.

The VegSoc's Seedling Symbol trademark is displayed on over 5,000 product lines around the world to identify its approval for vegetarians. Millions of people have come to rely on the symbol's vegetarian trademark for consumer confidence since it was first registered as an official trademark right back in 1969.

We never, ever test our skincare on animals.
