FASHION+BEAUTY GIVE ORGANIC ‘Organic’ has shifted from a buzzword to a part of our everyday lives; in a bid to avoid pesticides, factory farming and other nutritional nasties, more and more of us are opting to nourish our bodies with organic food, and concern about what we put onto our bodies is gaining momentum too. Organic beauty is an exciting and fast growing market, and, thanks to incentives such as The Soil Association’s ‘look for the label’ advice (more info on this at www.soilassociation.org), it’s now easier than ever to guarantee that what you’re buying is actually certified organic and not just a pretender. Here’s our pick of organic beauty buys this Christmas.
