MuLondon announces entire range of organic products registered by The Vegan Society

Sunday, September 18th, 2011

Committing to a vegan lifestyle is usually a conscious choice for people who do not wish to exploit animals for food, clothing or cosmetics. This means that vegans do not eat animal products, do not wear clothes or accessories made from leather, wool or fur, and do not use cosmetic products with ingredients derived from the animal kingdom.

MuLondon’s 100 % natural and deliciously fragranced Organic Rose, Organic Lavender, Organic White Chocolate Truffle, Organic Hemp and Organic Marigold, Frankincense and Myrrhmoisturisers are all completely vegan and carry the official Vegan Society Trademark. They are enjoyed by customers around the world, including movie stars, proving that cruelty-free skincare products can match anything else on the market today in terms of quality.

Boris Zatezic, the founder and head cream-whipper of MuLondon, says: “I am delighted to have all MuLondon products registered as vegan. By proudly carrying the internationally recognized Sunflower logo of the Vegan Society, we are showing that the entire MuLondon skin care range is suitable for vegans. Veganism is a deliberate, conscious move towards a more compassionate way of life – cruelty-free, sustainable, clean, pure and natural. Those qualities are the building blocks of MuLondon and are reflected in everything we do as a company. Not only is the entire range vegan, but MuLondon is a 100% vegan company, and we will never use any animal-derived ingredients or ones tested on animals. Compassionate vegans, vegetarians and everyone else can now enjoy MuLondon products, knowing that they are doing something good – not only for their skin, by caring for it naturally, but for the good of the environment and animals.

The Vegan Society is a British educational charity that works to promote veganism by supporting people, organisations and companies wanting to commit to a vegan lifestyle. The Vegan Society was founded in 1944 by a group of people who were not quite satisfied with the vegetarian movement and saw the need to coordinate between those among them who had started to question the ethics of still eating eggs and dairy products.

All of MuLondon’s moisturisers are carefully and lovingly handmade and contain a unique combination of certified organic Shea Butter, Coconut Butter and Jojoba Oil, herbal extracts and essential oils that hydrate, balance and repair all types of skin, even the most sensitive.

A distinctive feature of MuLondon moisturisers is that they contain no added water. As they are not diluted, a little bit goes a long way, and the customer gets 100% active ingredients, without anything artificial at all.

More information about MuLondon can be found at www.MuLondon.com, where customers can place secure online orders, 24/7, with affordable worldwide shipping.

November is Vegan Month!

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

A shocking new five-minute film titled ‘Secrets of the Dairy Industry’ has been released by national campaign group Animal Aid as part of its annual initiative – Vegan Month. The film shows the brutal treatment of dairy cows and calves on farms and at slaughter. The campaign group aims to highlight the darker side of rearing animals for their milk or their eggs and will be promoting the benefits of an animal-free diet throughout November.

To help people find out more, Animal Aid will be visiting towns and cities across the UK with its ‘Ask a Vegan’ stand. Realising that many people are not familiar with the term ‘vegan’, or the reasons for adopting such a diet, the group will be providing local residents with the opportunity to have all their questions about veganism answered. Information will also be available to take away, including a FREE copy of ‘I can’t believe it’s…vegan’, a 28-page colour booklet packed full of shopping tips, nutritional information, recipes and much more.

Says Vegan Month Co-ordinator, Kelly Slade:
‘Vegan foods – including non-dairy milk, cream, yoghurt, custard, cream cheese, ice cream and much more – can now be found easily in high street shops and supermarkets. Cutting out animal products is good for your health, it’s good for the planet and it’s good for animals, too. So going vegan really is a no-brainer, especially when people realise that they can help to end so much suffering in one simple step. Aspiring vegans will find more information at www.veganmonth.com <http://www.veganmonth.com> , including competitions, videos and recipes.

New Edition of Vegan Cookbook Published to Meet Demand. Lancashire, UK.


In order to meet worldwide demand for her cookbook, Lancashire UK author Catherine Greenall has published a second edition of her vegan cookbook, ‘Vegans Can’t Eat Anything!‘ available now from Ingram distribution, booksellers, publisher Lulu and on-line retailers. The publisher and author apologise for the lack of availability of the first edition in some countries.

Catherine Greenall, as featured by BBC Radio Manchester, Lancashire Life, Lancashire Living, Ormskirk Champion and Mensa magazine, uses fresh, healthy, organic ingredients and the recipes range from regional Lancashire fare to international dishes. For example, ‘Bonfire Pie’ is based on a Lancashire dish eaten with pickled red cabbage on Bonfire Night and ‘Crispy Fried Tempeh and Vegetables in Indonesian Satay Sauce’ is based on a dish from Holland. The titles of the book and chapters originate from what some restaurants actually said when asked for their vegan options.


Catherine Greenall said “Many people are worried about heart disease, strokes and cancers. A vegan diet is excellent for reducing the risk of these diseases, for reaching and maintaining an ideal weight and improving general health. It is naturally high in fibre, vitamins and minerals and low in saturated fats.”


The meat and dairy industries use huge amounts of land and water and generate carbon emissions. This is one of the major contributors to global warming. Changing to a healthier diet not only improves health and reduces the risk of obesity but benefits the planet.

Ban Short-Haul Flights, Bluefin Tuna, Carbon Offset Companies, & Throwaay Fashion Say Politicians & Campaigners

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Short-haul-flights, Bluefin tuna, carbon offset companies and
throwaway fashion are today identified as among the least ethical items
of the past 20 years and should be banned according to a survey of
leading politicians and environmental campaigners by Ethical Consumer
Magazine.

In the survey, 20 leading politicians and environmental
campaigners
were asked which items they would ban on ethical grounds.

In response Jenny Jones, Green Party member of the London Assembly
would ban flights to anywhere it’s possible to get to by train, Hilary
Benn MP, secretary of state for the environment would ban the sale of
Bluefin tuna, Climate Camp activists would ban carbon offset companies
and Caroline Higginson from the fashion industry campaign group Labour
Behind the Label would ban throwaway fashion.

Jenny Jones, Green Party member of the London Assembly said:
“It’s time we accepted that flying is too dangerous and costly to the
environment.”

Hilary Benn MP, secretary of state for the environment said:
“Bluefin tuna is threatened with extinction because of over-fishing. I
want to see it given full international protection. This would have the
effect of stopping the trade in Bluefin tuna.”

A Climate Camp activist said:
“Carbon offsets are part of the elaborate machinery of carbon trading
that governments and businesses use to obscure the simple fact that
carbon trading does not and will not lower emissions. We cannot apply
the same faulty logic of our failed economic system to our planet.
Nature doesn’t do bailouts.”

Caroline Higginson from Labour Behind the Label said:
“Cheap garments are only made possible by the exploitation of labour
and natural resources, someone somewhere is paying the price for that
product.”

Rob Harrison, editor of Ethical Consumer magazine which this month
celebrates its 20th anniversary said:

“Our survey has identified some of the many products and services that
continue to cause unacceptable damage to both people and the
environment everyday.”

“The good news, however, is that from Fairtrade bananas to ethical bank
accounts, over the past 20 years there’s been a spectacular revolution
in the number and range of ethical products and services available to
shoppers. No longer hidden away, ethical shopping has burst onto the
High Street with dramatic success.”

“By buying items that minimise the impact to both people and the
planet, shoppers today have a great opportunity to become checkout
campaigners everytime they go shopping.”

In the same survey 20 leading politicians and environmental campaigners
were asked what was the best ethical product of the past 20 years.

In response Ben Stewart from Greenpeace chose Eurostar, Boris Johnson,
Mayor of London chose electric cars, whilst Hilary Benn MP, secretary
of state for the environment, chose Fairtrade.
