We are very
aware of issues concerning the rainforest's and some people are maybe
fed up hearing them but this story is about a young biologist from
Indonesia.
Rudi
Putra who was awarded the goldman environmental prize for managing to
shut down 26 illegal palm oil operations, read more about his story here...it is very interesting.
The
environment is a very important issue with us and is something close to
our hearts. There is a lot happening in the world today and not all of
it is good.
As
an environmentally conscience company, we ourselves only use
sustainably sourced organic Palm Oil - this means that we don't promote
deforestation of the rainforest's that harbour endangered wildlife
(Orangutans, Tigers & Elephants), medicinal plants (some of which
are unique to rainforest's).
Deforestation on even a small scale can
cause localised flooding, which is happening on an increasing scale every year! Shockingly the Indonesian Government are set to increase Palm Oil production to double by 2020, of which the USA uses most of the 90% of the global market.
We'd love to hear any thoughts on this, so why not leave a comment below?

"This lotion feels amazing, like it's really nourishing the skin, leaving it so soft. It's non-greasy too which is great...when I used the lotion and then cuddled Elodie, she did seem to settle very easily..."

When we first started to formulate our gentlest lotion, the one thing it had to be was mild enough for both mother and child. This is why we have only used the mildest and gentlest oils we have, to make it extra special though we only used the most soothing of essential oils - chamomile and lavender!
We also didn't want it to be too heavy or greasy, which is why we carefully balanced the heavier Shea Butter with the lighter oils of Sweet Almond and Camellia - this combination is ideal for the soothing, healing, moisturising and nourishing properties that can be passed on to both mum and baby!
If you have problems with dry, cracked heels and are on your feet all day, why not give your feet a well earned treat that will ease any soreness that you have!
- Take time out and bathe your feet in warm water that has some Dead Sea Salts added to it, to soothe and revitalise tired feet. After about half an hour, pat your feet dry then follow up with a good moisturiser.
- Our Tea Tree & Peppermint Body Butter with its Shea Butter, which is well known for its moisturising properties, Macadamia Oil for nourishment along with Aloe Vera to cool & hydrate is great to soften and protect your feet. It will also refresh and uplift with the light scent of peppermint too!
- For those who have extremely dry, cracked heels, it's best to use a heavy duty moisturiser that provides extra vitamins, minerals to soften, replenish and hydrate - just apply at night, then put on a pair of cotton socks.
