Ethos…

I have a small business but mighty big plans – being small these may take a little time but you may be interested in the goals that I have and the way that Pringle and Fairweather are heading in the future:-

  • Palm Free – I try and avoid using Palm oil in my products generally but you will find some Palm Oil in some of my Soaps. I have pledged to reformulate all of my Soap recipes to use alternatives in a bid to make my business completely Palm-Free within a year (Summer of 2019).
  • Vegan Friendly – There are no animal products in any my recipes and many products are Vegan Friendly but I use Beeswax in quite a few of my formulations – it’s a lovely way of thickening Creams and Balms naturally and offers a protective layer to your skin to shield it from all that is thrown at it. I am currently experimenting with natural plant waxes so that my products can all be Vegan Friendly – again within a year (Summer 2019).
  • Packaging – I use glass jars and aluminium lids and containers for just about all of my products in a bid to avoid plastics – I know many plastics are recyclable but I feel that their pedigree is not as good as glass and Aluminium, so it may need careful packing and cost more to post but there is always a price to pay for doing the right thing for our environment. I still have a few small plastic items in stock such as dripper caps on the oils and if I can find suitable alternatives I will.
  • Organic – This is the big one for me – I use some organic raw materials where I can source them at a reasonable cost but I am far from being 100% organic so this is a longer term mission for me. To do this overnight would literally double the cost of my product to you which I don’t think any of us are ready for just yet. Bear with me and as my business grows I hope to be able to offer part of my range as organic – it’s something to work towards – I’ll keep you posted.

My business is still small right now and my products are still made by my own caring hands in small batches. Natural ingredients are selected for their specific qualities to nourish and pamper your skin. Every product is made from scratch by me, wrapped, hand labelled and every order that you place is packed and dispatched by me (Okay – sometimes with a little help). This allows you to buy with confidence, products which provide your skin with the best that nature can offer.
