Our Motto is:
'Using what nature gave us'.
And with that also respect our natural resources, by this we mean using ingredients that are ethically and sustainably sourced and only using ingredients that are eco-friendly, so when they arrive back to nature they do not damage the very place they came from.
At 'The Natural Root' we strive to make a difference where and when we can, even if those steps are small in comparison to the larger companies we believe every step counts!
Some of the things we do to help protect our environment and ensure that we do not overuse our natural resources are:
- Reusing all packaging materials received into the company, by this we mean, using all packaging that we can when sending out orders to customers. Excess cardboard that isn't used for orders is composted in flower beds and other composting areas.
- Any water that is used in the production of the products comes from appliances that use water in the workshop, which is then reused to water the plants.
- All packaging used for the products are either aluminium or glass as both these materials can be wholly recycled, upcycled or refilled in future orders.
- All paper used in the office is from recycled materials. Our boxes for gifts are again made from recycled materials which after use can then be reused, recycled or put into composting and are sourced from a company that plants a tree for every order!
- All postal bags are 100% reusable and compostable after.
- Any electric is used to a minimum in the production of products and where possible no electric used at all.
- All ingredients used in our products are biodegradable and from fully sustainable sources. This may mean that we use nature identical ingredients that have been formulated in a lab to preserve the original source from over harvesting as this leads to deforestation, habitat loss and extinction of the source altogether.
- Where possible, use ingredients that have been sourced and produced within the UK to reduce airmiles and our carbon footprint.
- Improve customer knowledge so you the customer also have the power to help, by making small changes in your buying habits, by buying smart and buying local.
- Teach that you, the customer, does not need to be pressured to buy products you do not need.
- Improve customer knowledge so you the customer, does not buy into advertising that leads you to believe a product will make you look like those you see in the adverts that have been filtered beyond belief!
- Teach customers to love the skin they have and buy products that promote their skin health rather than something that changes them and what makes you 'You'.
These small but smart steps can lead to big changes for the future, learn to lead not follow.
We believe that our brand can easily fit into your own family values and lifestyle, even with the extremely busy lives we lead today!
