ETHICS & SUSTAINABILITY
Organic & Foraged Botanicals
We source our herbs from organic farms, Freya’s own garden, as well as from wild nature surrounding Freyas home in the Scottish Highlands. This means the herbs in our skincare, elixirs, and teas have been grown without the use of synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides.
Intensive farming practices worldwide have aided in the degradation of our soil, which has a huge impact on our ability to grow food, and for the wider ecosystem that depends on fertile earth. Soil is precious and we support growing and harvesting methods that cause the least amount of damage as possible.
Natural Ingredients
We use raw, natural ingredients to make our products. Unrefined, cold-pressed, and organic where possible. Synthetic ingredients can be harmful to us, as well as to our environment.
Phthalates for example, the chemicals found in many synthetic fragrances, can mimic our hormones and interfere with our endocrine system, which helps to control our growth, development, sexual function, reproduction and mood.
All of our products are free from phthalates, parabens, sulfates and all the bad stuff. Since we do not use synthetic preservatives, our products are always fresh and designed to be used within 6 - 12 months.
Sustainably Sourced Cold-Pressed Oils
Where possible, our oils are sourced from Europe. All of our organic oils from our supplier have Soil Association organic certificates.
Supporting Organic + Fair Trade Farms
We believe farmers should be paid and treated well, and herbs should be sown, grown, and harvested with love and care. We support farmers who are committed to sustainability and organic farming.
Where we can, we support women-owned farms, and farms who employ more vulnerable members of society, such as refugees.
Eco friendly Packaging
With the exception of our dropper and spray lids, we house our products in recyclable, clear & amber glass and aluminium lids, and package in compostable kraft pouches.
Our products come packaged in recyclable kraft boxes with paper tape. We occasionally reuse some plastic packaging that comes with our bottles for particularly fragile items, but we hope that you will continue to reuse it too!
