Ours say ‘not tested on Haggis or any other animals’ 

They used to say, ‘Only tested on friends and family’  but we still got the animal testing questions with that

Hi,  I’ve been lurking around for a little while and think it’s about time I said hello.

I’ve signed up for Perry’s Natural Cosmetic Formulating Course and looking forward to learning lots!

I live in Scotland where we have an employability program for recovering addicts and ex-offenders, the initial plan was to make traditional Cold Process Soap with the Shea Butter which is produced by a co-op we’ve helped to establish in the Upper East Region in Ghana.  As momentum has grown we’ve realised that we need to add some other products.  Liquid Soap and anhydrous balms seemed to be the easiest route, but now looking to bring some hair products and emulsions in too. The goal, of course being to use lots of lovely unrefined shea butter when possible.

We pay all our team a minimum of the living wage and surplus profit goes back to Ghana in aid and development.  

Our customer base seem to want ‘natural’ cosmetics without parabens, sls etc and so I’m learning as much as I can in that area.
