As our world continues to evolve and change, green chemistry has risen to the challenge to meet the onslaught of pollutants and chemicals that are wreaking havoc on our natural biosphere.

The human body, that great absorber of chemicals and toxins, is also challenged, and as a consequence, perfumers are investigating alternatives that exclude parabens, phthalates, sulphates and other nasties, including alcohol, to usher the wearer in discovering a new world of clean, green cosmetics and fragrances.

Cruelty free, sustainably designed, eco-friendly… a must go for the brands who want to jump forward in time and experience the future of the cosmetics and perfumery!
