I am proud to announce that MuLondon has been awarded the Green America Business Seal of Approval. The seal is an affirmation of MuLondon’s commitment to go beyond product quality to set the highest standards in environmental sustainability and social justice, and work to solve, rather than create, environmental and social problems.

MuLondon is the first skincare company in the UK that has been awarded the Seal of Approval, and is one of only seven UK companies in total to have been approved as members of Green America’s Green Business Network.

To be considered for the Seal of Approval and earn a listing in the annual National Green Pages, I completed a rigorous screening process to ensure that MuLondon meets Green America’s environmental, community and labour standards. This included vetting all of MuLondon's suppliers to make sure that also they live up to the strict standards.

MuLondon has been awarded Green America's Gold Seal, the highest accolade available. The Gold Seal is only given to “green businesses showing leadership in their industry, that embed social responsibility into the DNA of their company".
 

I am proud and honoured that MuLondon has been awarded Green America's highest seal of approval. MuLondon's range of wonderfully fragrant, natural products make difference in people's lives on every level – from helping customers choose safer skincare products to caring for the environment and making sure that everyone involved in the process of growing, producing and sourcing ingredients is treated fairly, ethically and with respect.

By becoming an approved member of the Green America Green Business Network, MuLondon demonstrates that it is not only concerned with providing high-quality, natural skincare products; MuLondon is also devoted to using natural, organic, cruelty-free and fairly-traded ingredients. Being socially responsible, MuLondon also recycles, uses biodegradable bubble-wrap, solvent-free detergents, and hosts its website with a web host that utilises renewable energy.

Two MuLondon products were tested, reviewed and featured by "The Spark" magazine.
 

Naomi Ross writes:

"I focused on three types of products: acne treatment, body wash and moisturiser. I wanted products that were suitable for me and my children and my criteria were (a) the product is made and available in the UK; (b) neither the finished product or its ingredients are tested on animals; (c) the product contains no parabens, colourants, synthetic fragrances, petrochemicals or phthalates."
 

Lavender Foaming wash

"Lovely smell of lavender, foams up well, skin feels clean and soft. Can use on face and body, gentle enough to use on my children’s skin."

Hemp Moisturiser with Shea Butter and Jojoba oil

"Very light to touch, nice subtle smell, and skin feels moisturised all day. You can use all over your body and face."

Set up in 1993, The Spark is the UK's biggest - and most established - ethical quarterly. Their aim is to keep the readers in touch with locally-based creative solutions for a changing world, and to help them get the best out of life.

MuLondon Organic Lavender Foaming Wash and Organic Hemp Moisturiser are available now.

MuLondon Organic Hemp moisturiser is featured in the latest issue of "JUNO" natural parenting magazine!

In the "Natural Skincare - Adults" section, they say:

"This is a concentrated moisturiser made with organic shea butter. It is thick, as it contains no water, so only a little is needed. You can apply it to moist skin, but I warmed it in my hands so it became oily and slid easily onto my skin. It has a wonderful smell, evocative of the outdoors, herby and woody. It is suitable for men and women, for face and all-over body use. Handmade using only shea butter and natural and essential oils and essences, with no artificial additives or preservatives."
 

 
Juno is a natural parenting magazine with an ethos based on conscious parenting, sustainability, social justice, non-violence and a commitment to personal growth and spiritual awareness.

Another victory for MuLondon and safe skincare everywhere!

The entire range of MuLondon organic, vegan skincare products has been named Champion in a new report issued by Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics announced today that MuLondon, together with 334 other cosmetics companies, has met the goals of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, the Campaign’s voluntary pledge to avoid harmful chemicals and to fully disclose product ingredients - a pioneering practice in the cosmetics industry.

Being named Champion by Campaign for Safe Cosmetics shows my dedication to bringing safe skincare products to the market. All the products in MuLondon range are cruelty-free, organic and effective and MuLondon will always be at the forefront of truly natural, safe skincare.
 

The report “Market Shift: The story of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics and the growth in demand for safe cosmetics” describes the seven-year project during which the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics worked with MuLondon and hundreds of other companies in the personal care products industry to set a new high-bar standard for personal care products.  These best practices include: 
 

- Making products without using ingredients prohibited for use in cosmetics in other countries.    

- Disclosing all product ingredients, including those that make up “fragrance,” showing that it’s not necessary to hide these ingredients from the public.

- Working together with nonprofit health groups to increase market demand for safe, sustainable products and practices.
