The problem with palm oil and alternative suggestions
Palm oil sounds wonderful doesn’t it, maybe it triggers the thought of palm trees, relaxation, maybe a massage with some relaxing oil. But whilst there is nothing wrong with natural palm oil itself, unfortunately it’s detrimental to the planet yet it is found in over 50% of shelf products. These can be anything from processed food, personal care products, and animal feed. In some parts of the world it’s also used in bio fuel.
Giving eco-friendly gifts
As you become more aware of the damage that certain materials cause to our planet, the more you may want to buy in an eco-friendly way. Not just products for yourself but gifts for your loved ones too. And the great thing about that is it’s normally the small and home based businesses that are the best eco-friendly gift suppliers.
Suggestions on what to recycle and reuse to save you time and money, and to help protect our world.
If you have been following us on Facebook, Instagram, or simply reading our blogs, you will know by now that we champion using eco-friendly, sustainable, and organic ingredients and products.
We are of the view that we only have one world and those of us who are planet friendly people who make conscious decisions about the ingredients we use, are here to make a change. We are here to help protect our planet because we have to start somewhere.
How to care for your world without it costing the earth.
Here at Northern Flock, because we are eco-conscious, use sustainable ingredients, and care for our world, we thought we would write you a blog on how you can make small changes yourself to help the planet. The earth is huge, enormous in fact with the surface measuring 510.1 million square kilometres. When you think of the size, it’s hard to believe that just a few of us can make a difference and it can seem like a never-ending job making sure it is still around for years to come. However, according to Forbes last year, 77% of you want to live more sustainably. That is a big proportion of the population, so imagine the impact that would have if we all made a few extra changes to our purchasing and recycling habits.
Northern Flock products that don’t cost the earth, harm mother nature, or hurt our wildlife.
When we set up Northern Flock a few months ago, we started with a few products in our range. These consisted of our Beeswax candles, hand and lip balms, baby bibs, and Beeswax wraps. As Eileen continues to research ingredients, and create wonderful recipes, our product range is expanding.
It’s All About The Bees.
There has been a lot in the media recently from wildlife experts about protecting our bees, how to do that, and why. Bees are wonderful insects and when they make their honey and secrete their Beeswax, you know those two ingredients will do you the world of good. Anything from Manuka honey to keep coughs and colds at bay, local honey to help prevent your Hay Fever, and now our beauty products which moisturise your skin and are a barrier to irritants, all start with the Bees.
