Our brown sugar face scrub is 100% natural & vegan friendly. It not only carries the Leaping Bunny (cruelty free) stamp of approval, it's also been awarded @GoodScrub status - proof that it contains no ocean-polluting #microbeads

Microbeads can cause serious harm to marine life, but our ban will help to stop billions of #microbeads ending up in the ocean every year #GreenBrexit gov.uk/government/news/world…

Glad to see someone else is also still checking the ingredients @GeorgeMonbiot! We’ve been monitoring #microplastics in toiletries for over 5 years and will keep checking until we’re satisfied the ban is fully respected. teapawt.org/GeorgeMonbiot/status/9…
While we're on the subject, just as we become aware of the environmental hazards of #glitter, it starts cropping up everywhere: on clothes, on wrapping paper, on make-up, even on food. It's as if we have a collective death wish.

Today is a great day for our oceans! Rinse off cosmetic products in the UK are banned from using harmful #microbeads! Thanks SO much to all of our wonderful customers for campaigning with us, alongside @GreenpeaceUK @FaunaFloraInt @mscuk as you've helped to make this happen!

Shout out to all the amazing organisations who worked so hard to make this happen - @mcsuk @FaunaFloraInt @EIAinvestigator and loads more! 👏👏👏
