As such, we source from environmentally, socially, and ethically responsible manufacturer who is awarded the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification and undertook to take legal ownership and produce or handle RSPO-certified sustainable oil palm products.

Environmental Harm
Parabens
Preservatives are essential to keep products safe for use over an extended period of time and often used in deodorant. Our products are water-less and do not use preservatives. For deodorant, we have used Elderberry Extract as an antimicrobial agent. Paraben ingredients may include Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Isopropylparaben, Methylparaben, and Propylparaben
Potential Concern Icon:
Endocrine Disruption
Allergen
Organ Toxicity/Irritation

Product:
Antiperspirant
Silicones
Nature derived ingredients are available to fulfil such roles. Silicone ingredients may include Here are some common ones *cones eg amodimethicne, cyclomethicone, dimethicone, methicone, trimethicone, trimethylsilylamodimethicone, *Conols eg dimethiconol * Silanes eg bis-PEG-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane, triethoxycaprylylsilane, triethoxycaprylylsilane crosspolymer, * cyclopentasiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, siloxane.

Animal-derived ingredients
Plant and mineral alternatives are available and they work well. However, not using Carmine and synthetic colourant has limited us on creating the classic red lippy.
You should know that we are using COSMOS-standard as the guiding principle that rules the selection of each of our ingredients. This ensures the ingredients have no known harming effects on humans - no nasties, no naughties. And that the ingredients are truly sustainable and biodegradable. Wild and Gorgeous, as you do!
COSMOS
Role: As a non-profit international association, COSMOS has harmonised different certification guidelines in Europe to create a single, international standard for organic and natural cosmetics. It covers all aspects of the sourcing, manufacturing, marketing and control of cosmetic products.
The guiding principles of the COSMOS® referential are:
- to promote the use of products from organic farming and to respect biodiversity;
- to promote using natural resources responsibly while respecting the environment;
- to promote the use of clean manufacturing processes that respect human health and the environment;
- to promote the integration and development of the concept of “Green Chemistry”;
- to ensure transparency for all consumers.
We follow COSMOS’ guiding principles as these are the strictest cosmetic regulation in the world and provide us confident to refer to its standard AISBL raw materials database in our ingredient selection process.
