Lush Duck is a new place to buy purely natural hair and beauty products online. What makes it stand out from competitors is the personal touch given to the site by its founders, who are on a mission to save the environment for unnecessary pollution, and our bodies from harmful chemicals.

Amanda and Daniel hand-select the items on sale, and provide helpful tips and information. Since Amanda is a trained hair expert, and has owned her own salon for the past seven years, she has abundant experience of natural products and is hoping to share it through Lush Duck. Daniel is on the technical side of the venture, applying his decade’s worth of computer experience in making the website run smoothly and professionally, for safe and reliable shopping. They run the company from the tiny village of Westbury-sub-Mendip, Somerset. Though not exactly a business metropolis, Amanda and Daniel believe it is the perfect place to pioneer in natural product sales, as the stunning green setting acts as a constant reminder of their eco-friendly mission.

Ultimately, any shop is all about the products. Lush Duck sells as a collection of carefully chosen Natural Beauty Products, from brands such as Burt’s Bees, Evolve, Organic Surge and many more. They are guaranteed not to contain any harmful chemicals, but to be as natural as possible. None of the items on sale have been tested on animals, and many are even vegan, so shoppers who are animal welfare conscious can pick products without worry. Because the selection on sale is curated with care, new items get preference, as companies are constantly developing new, greener, and cleaner manufacturing processes, and discovering new ways to cut out man-made chemicals altogether. Lush Duck aims to source and stock all the latest innovations in the market, and bring them together into one store.

As environmental and health concerns become increasingly important within society, and shoppers become more conscious of these issues and make choices based on them, there is a real need for shops which specialise in natural goods, and which have a transparent environmental policy. Smaller establishments are becoming more popular, as consumers are disillusioned with the ethics of big chains. This makes Lush Duck a great alternative. Amanda and Daniel source their products from the UK as much as possible, and do everything in their power to cut down their carbon footprint. This level of personal attention makes Lush Duck a unique shopping haven, and it may set the trend for the future.

Lush Duck aims to bring natural beauty to every shopper, and is set to change the way we look for hair and beauty products in a friendlier, more personal direction. With a specialised product list of innocent pleasures, this is a brand to watch.

There are plenty of reasons to choose alternatives to the everyday beauty brands and products you can find adorning the shelves of supermarkets and chemists. In the majority of cases when looking for beauty products, whether it is shower gels, or expensive moisturisers it’s generally to make us feel and look good. That’s why it is worth considering choosing natural ingredients and natural beauty products. At O.N.G we have a wide range of natural and organic beauty products, packed full of beneficial natural ingredients.

Most everyday beauty products are packed full of synthetic & un-necessary chemicals that can irritate your skin and cause dryness, itchiness and redness. Quite the opposite too what most people are seeking from their beauty regime, there is also the fact that many advertised “natural products” contain such miniscule amounts of natural ingredients anyone except the brands marketing department wouldn’t actually classify them as natural.

At O.N.G our range of natural beauty products come from leading natural brands and are free from harsh chemicals. They have been specially selected to be kind to your skin, so whether you are looking for a shampoo to nourish hair and reinvigorate mind and body in the morning, or perhaps a luxurious organic moisturiser as a special gift, either for yourself or a loved one there are plenty of reasons natural beauty products. Some of the products include ingredients such as Avocado oil, which is full of anti-oxidants that help eliminate toxins and free radicals. It’s also attributed with increasing collagen production to firm skin. One of the great things about natural beauty products is that they harness plants nutrients and vitamins to provide an intensely beneficial impact on skins health.

We’re also pleased to say that we aim to recycle all of our waste and re-use what we can. We’re also donating to charity when we manage to recycle any of our boxes for customers order, for each and every box we manage to recycle we’ll be donating the saved cost of 25p to charity.
