MuLondon signs Compact for Safe Cosmetics

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

MuLondon – Natural Organic Skincare signs The Compact for Safe Cosmetics and receives full membership status, proving that divinely fragranced and effective skincare products can also be safe and free from toxic ingredients.

The Compact for Safe Cosmetics is part of a campaign that works to improve the safety of cosmetics and personal care products on the market. It is founded by The Environmental Working Group, Breast Cancer Fund and Friends of the Earth, among others. The idea behind The Compact is that by having companies committing to providing better information about their product ingredients, consumers can make informed decisions when they go shopping for cosmetics and skincare products. One of The Compact’s primary goals is to eliminate harmful chemicals from cosmetics and personal care products.

 

Signing The Compact for Safe Cosmetics is a natural step for MuLondon – Natural Organic Skincare, since the whole philosophy behind MuLondon is to make safe, effective and natural moisturisers without any preservatives or toxic ingredients that can harm the body or the world we live in.

All MuLondon products are guaranteed 100 percent natural, vegan, free of preservatives, and, of course, never tested on animals and contain no animal products. They only contain reliable, tested ingredients such as Jojoba oil and Shea butter that are safe to use on a daily basis, and natural fragrances such as Lavender, Rose, and Marigold that won’t irritate even the most sensitive skin. Certified organic ingredients are used whenever possible.

 

To this date, more than 1,300 companies have signed The Compact for Safe Cosmetics, but only 250 are fully compliant. MuLondon is one of the 250 fully compliant companies and receives zero hazard rating for all its products. That is the safest rating any product can get and means that MuLondon is among the safest skincare choices out on the market.

In other words, the many women and men out there who have grown used to pampering their skin with MuLondon’s moisturisers and can’t imagine giving them up, don’t have to. They can safely continue using them without having to worry for their own health or the well-being of the planet. MuLondon’s products can be used with a clean conscience.

Boris Zatezic, founder of MuLondon says: “I am delighted to be a signer of The Compact for Safe Cosmetics, and proud that we have achieved full membership status and zero hazard rating for all MuLondon products. Having safe and effective skincare has always been the driving force behind MuLondon, and this proves publicly how committed I am to delivering that.

A chemical free life?

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

At www.OVnaturals.co.uk we try to offer a balanced view while adhering to our strict standards and ethics. Increasingly, consumers are asking questions about the products they use on their skin. What exactly is ‘natural’ and ‘organic’? Is synthetic always bad? Is it realistic to try and avoid all chemicals? Here’s a summary of what we’ve discovered…


There’s no such thing as a chemical-free life, as chemicals make up all living things. Not all chemicals are bad, for example, essential oils contain complex naturally-occurring chemicals with active therapeutic benefits when used correctly. When used incorrectly, these ingredients may be harmful. 
 
Safety is often determined by dose. Just a small amount of pure Eucalyptus oil, if ingested, can be fatal, however, when used in the correct dosage this is one of the most effective essential oils to ease catarrhal conditions. Likewise, drinking too much water can kill you but we all know that water is good for us, indeed, necessary for life.


Regarding synthetic ingredients, there are many conflicting reports about their dangers. We increasingly hear that certain commonly-used synthetic chemicals cause, or contribute to, disease, while there is usually a counter-argument. At Orchard View, we believe that there has been too much reliance on unnecessarily harsh synthetic ingredients in our society and we seek effective, approved natural alternatives where possible while also considering your safety. For example, we would consider an approved, synthetic preservative more preferable than bacteria or fungal growth in your face cream! Preservative systems, where needed in our products, are as mild as possible. We believe in gorgeous, as-natural-as-can-be products which work to keep you safe and beautiful, without being laden with unnecessary synthetic ingredients. We will tell you honestly about what is in our products, so you don’t have to learn to speak the language of ‘ingredientso’ to understand what you’re buying! Then you can choose what’s right for you.

New Eco-Directory BOOK OF GREEN makes green living easy

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Appearing
this month on the shelves in WH Smith and Borders nationwide, new eco-living
directory BOOK OF GREEN is the most comprehensive guide for everybody to
genuinely and easily green their lifestyles.

With
the general public currently becoming more receptive to living a more
eco-friendly life, this completely free guide points the consumer in the right
direction – it includes hundreds of approved ethical providers in a wide range
of sectors including business services, health and beauty, home and garden,
green energy, travel, parenting and food & drink.  All the companies
in the directory are in some way mostly or completely environmentally friendly,
sustainable, fair trade, organic,  ethical and socially responsible.

Book
of Green is intended to show everybody how to easily reduce their carbon
footprint, live a healthy lifestyle and make  a personal positive 
impact on the environment by integrating truly ethical products and services
into their daily home and family lives.

With
an initial print run of 30,000, the guide comes in a handy A5 format and is
printed in vegetable inks on 100% recycled paper.  An online flip magazine
version is also available at www.bookofgreen.com 
 Book of Green will be available in WH Smiths this July, attached to the
front of Permaculture Magazine as well as distributed across the UK in high
street eco stores, online eco stores, and at events during the summer as well
as at the Eden Project and the Kent Eco Village, the Kent Show by The
Ecologist, July 17-19.

Book
of Green is co-founded by Sue Jueno (founder of Allthingseco) and Katie Keegan
(founder of One Green Earth),
 whose combined experience of 6 years in the eco/ethical business arena
has given them the experience, knowledge and contacts to create a guide for
green living which everybody can trust.

“Being
green is more than reducing the threat of climate change, it’s also about
ethical trading and personal health.  The companies found within Book of
Green provide solutions across all sectors through their products &
services to help build a positive foundation for your family’s future
generations,”  says Katie Keegan.

“With
credit crunch in mind and a passion for promoting green shoot businesses we
have made Book of Green extremely affordable to advertisers and free to the
public to show off exceptional companies that are solving environmental
problems and that will be leading us into the future,” says Sue Jueno.
