OUR ETHOS
It is important for us to operate our business whilst respecting the world we live in. This includes people, animals, and our natural environment. We are always looking for ways to improve this.
We give 10% of our profits to the Myna Mahila Foundation, which helps women access hygienic menstruation products in rural communities in India, you can read more here https://www.poppysns.co.uk/helpingwomen.

CRUELTY FREE
Poppy's Natural Skincare believes that beauty should be cruelty free. None of our products are tested on animals.
​
VEGAN
We are registered with the Vegan Society. 12 out of 13 products are 100% Vegan.
The Vegan Society registration @vegantrademark means our products conform to the strict requirements maintained by The Vegan Society of being free from animal-derived ingredients and animal testing. It also ensures that no animals have been exploited in the manufacture of our ingredients. For example, we use coconut butter in our body butter, where we had to ensure no monkeys were used to pick the coconuts.
We are happy to do this as we are passionate about using ethically sourced plant-based ingredients that are mainly organic.
