Sometimes it’s good to know a little bit more, which is what we’ll try to give you with our “Ingredient Focus” section.
We won’t pretend that it is all comprehensive – and you may wish to do more research for yourselves – but it is a brief and concise snapshot about the origin of the ingredients and, where appropriate, it’s use in our candles, fragrance & skincare all of which we hope you will find both interesting and useful.
