SHOP BY ETHOS

OUR BADGES

Since 2008 we have used our badge system and 'Shop By Ethos' filters to help you easily identify products that match the things that matter to you. Whether it be 3rd party certified organic, vegan or locally made and cruelty-free.

Our product badges are displayed to guide you, at a glance. If you are vegan you can see if the product fits with your ingredients criteria while those interested in shopping local can look for the Great British Beauty badge to find products that have been made within the United Kingdom.

View the full list of badges below and then look for the ones that suit you.
