Our herbal tinctures are grown for us by a biodynamic farm in the East Midlands that practices regenerative agriculture, a farming approach that rehabilitates and enhances the entire ecosystem of the land. Their biodynamic and organic certification ensures complete traceability as well as sustainability, and with the staggering number of trees they plant yearly the activities of the farm itself actually absorb more CO2 than they generate! This way of farming ensures that the soil our four hero tinctures grow in has never seen a drop of synthetic chemicals, herbicides, pesticides or fertilisers. Instead, they just let nature do its thing!

Because the shea nut tree only thrives in the African savannah, we had to go further afield to source this wonder of an ingredient! We’re pleased to say that our shea butter supplier has created job opportunities for 15,000 women in rural communities of West Africa; empowering women to earn an income and promoting social responsibility, they use women’s cooperatives throughout Ghana to gather and process the nuts into the beautiful shea butter that is such an important ingredient in our moisturising creams. The company is certified organic and is able to trace each nut back to its original harvest location. The cooperative is also part of the Fair For Life initiative, and supports the Hippo Sanctuary in Ghana, returning a percentage of its profits back to the local ecosystem as well as supporting the education and welfare of neighbouring communities.
