There are those, who see their skin as nothing more than an inert outer covering that's cleaned, polished and treated with highly processed, synthetic products, just as if it were an object, like a machine. Here at Natural Wisdom, we see our skin as something much more than this, we see our skin as the outside of our inside, the reflection of how we live and how we feel, from our emotions to our beliefs.
Our skin protects us, warms us and cools us, our skin, literally holds us together. It's reactive to emotions, responsive to lifestyle, and adaptive to temperature. Our skin glows brighter when we're happy, it lights up when we smile, it blushes when we're embarrassed and it shows when we're tired, stressed or unwell. Our skin responds and reacts to a healthy lifestyle and it both absorbs & digests the skin products we apply to it...This is why the ingredients we choose are so very important...because we digest up to 60% of them into our bloodstream... through our skin. This is why our skin care is cold blended from pure, organic superfood ingredients.
Our philosophy stems from our one guiding principle...
- We believe that in the making of something new, we shouldn't hurt something old. We are dedicated to keeping our carbon footprint as light as possible by striving to be as sustainable and as ethical as possible so we can be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.
Our packaging philosophy and principles:
- We made the decision not to use pretty, shiny boxes to house our bottles and jars, this reduces waste and is much kinder on the environment.
- While our products are packaged beautifully with great attention to detail we make sure that they can be easily recycled or reused without harming the environment.
- We use blue cobalt glass which is recyclable, reusable & offers excellent UV protection.
Our purchasing philosophy and principles:
- Wherever possible, we prioritise UK companies.
- Ethical trade is central to our purchasing policy. We believe that business should benefit everyone equally and not some disproportionately.
- We are against the use of animal based ingredients and animal testing. All our formulas are suitable for Vegans.
Our manufacturing philosophy and principles:
- We only use superior quality, certified organic, eco-cert or 100% natural raw ingredients.
- We don't dilute our ingredients with weak, cheap bulking agents such as water, wax emulsifiers and sunflower oil. We don't use nonsense ingredients with made up claims.
- We don't clog our products with unnecessary processing or chemical ingredients.
- We don't cook our recipes, we spent 4 years perfecting our cold processing method which maximises potency and quality.
- We don't use wax emulsifiers which means your skin can breath more freely.
