The post PHB Ethical Beauty introduces cosmetics line appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

PHB Ethical Beauty (PHB) has developed a range of ethical and affordable natural and organic cosmetics, designed to blur the line between make-up and skincare.

Using organic ingredients, botanical actives and pure, ethically-sourced minerals, the range aims to offer colourful and dramatic make-up which also cares for and enhances skin.

The range includes foundation, BB creams, foundations, concealer, mascara, eyeliner, lipsticks, lip glazes, glosses and tints.

Available in six shades, the PHB Pure Skin Organic Liquid Foundation +SPF30 is formulated to provide a natural looking, flawless finish, and incorporates argan oil to soften and anti-ageing and antioxidant sea buckthorn.

Also available in six shades, Botanical BB Cream +SPF15 uses skin-enhancing botanical extracts of rosehip, aloe vera and grape seed to nourish and protect skin.

The 100% Pure Organic Lipstick line is handmade using anti-ageing oils and rich organic butters for creamy, long-lasting colour. Shea butter and jojoba oil are included to moisturize lips and rosehip oil and vitamin E help retain collagen and repair dryness. Colours include Amber, Mulberry, Plum, Tea Rose, Cranberry and Grace.

The PHB All in One Natural Mascara is water resistant and smudge-proof and designed to last all day. It comes in Brown and Black and was the winner of the Best Mascara in the Green Parent Beauty Awards.

“At a young age I was made aware of the harmful ingredients you commonly find in cosmetics like petrochemicals, animal fats and cochineal (crushed insects),” explains PHB founder Rose Brown. “Many people don’t realize most products contain unethical ingredients that can irritate skin, have long term effects on our health and cause harm to the earth and animals. Irritating chemicals, harsh alcohols and animal derived ingredients aren’t hidden away and their use isn’t denied, it’s just accepted as normal.”

All products are certified Cruelty Free by BUAV and PETA, are 100% vegan, palm oil-free and Halal certified.

The post Mintel sees beauty and food boundaries blur with gastronomia appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

Mintel’s study of Global Beauty and Personal Care Trends to 2025 has highlighted the trend of ‘gastronomia’ which it says is driving consumer interest in natural ingredients as people are becoming more involved in creating their own beauty products.

Brands are reacting to consumer interest in pure and natural ingredients, says Mintel’s Charlotte Libby in a blog, and are appealing to those wanting to be more involved with the creation of products.

The analyst also found that product launches are increasingly blurring the boundaries between beauty and food: “When it comes to natural ingredients, the in the past few years beauty markets have seen the use of botanical oils, such as coconut oil, in beauty routines blossom, at the same time as their popularity in cooking and baking has increased. The gluten-free claim also began to gain traction in the skincare market in 2013.

“There has been a continued blurring of skincare and food boundaries, particularly with regard to ingredients and storage. As these trends become cemented in the food market, similar claims are emerging in beauty markets as two thirds of UK women agree diet is a significant factor in determining the appearance of skin.

“Just like ‘raw’ and ‘cold-pressed’ have become buzzwords in the health food markets, the clean eating food trend is influencing the beauty and personal care markets, and there is increasing interest in products containing fresh ingredients and limited preservatives, which therefore have a shorter shelf life.”

Another key trend is bathing products with detox and antioxidant properties, which have driven growth in the sector despite declines in the number of baths people take.

And while vitamin and mineral-fortified bodycare launches have increased over the past couple of years, claims such as vegan, gluten-free and no additives are now seeing particular growth, says Libby.

Green food ingredients like spirulina are moving into the beauty market and fermented foods are now a popular beauty ingredient in Asia. Mintel expects the latter to be a growing trend in the UK.

Libby concludes: “Whilst food-inspired fragrances and ingredients have long been reflected in beauty and personal care launches, in 2016 an increased focus on diet has seen beauty begin to take influence from vegan and gluten-free diets. Further innovation is also expected in algae and fermented product launches, particularly in skincare. Free-from innovations, as well as appealing to health conscious consumers, also hold opportunity to appeal to other beauty consumers, such as those seeking halal-friendly products.”

The post Ethical beauty company launches own charity appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

UK-based beauty brand PHB Ethical Beauty has announced the launch of its OneLove Foundation charity to help improve the lives of people and animals in the UK and around the world.

The company, which is dedicated to raising awareness about ethical issues that arise in the cosmetics industry such as the use of animal derived ingredients, animal cruelty, chemical ingredients and palm oil, already donates 20% of its net profits to other charities with a similar goal.

PHB’s range of organic, vegan and Halal cosmetics is handmade in the UK and certified cruelty-free.

Founded 25 years ago by Rose Brown, daughter of UB40 drummer and songwriter James Brown, the company’s aim is to change the way people think about their beauty product choices, and to eventually become a not-for-profit organization.

“We have created the OneLove Foundation based on the belief that it’s vital to share what we have, to give back, to help others and to care for the earth,” says Brown. “All people and creatures living on this earth are interrelated and dependent on each other.

“Through our OneLove Foundation PHB will fund projects to help people, especially children, and animals in the UK and around the world. We will also partner with established charities and projects to donate and raise awareness about their worthy causes.”

The post Cuddle up with Jeeva appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

A new brand of baby skincare is being launched at Natural & Organic Products Europe (19-20 April) by Jeeva.

The Coco Cuddles range of gentle skincare is formulated for newborn babies and older babies with sensitive skin and comprises Baby Wash to gently cleanse and moisturize delicate skin and hair; Baby Lotion to calm and soothe sensitive skin; Baby Massage Oil to hydrate and protect; and Baby Nappy Balm to protect skin from nappy rash.

The company states that one out of three babies develops some kind of skin sensitivity in the first few months of life and so it is introducing the natural hypoallergenic formulas to protect babies’ skin before problems arise.

Coco Cuddles combines coconut water and organic raw cold-pressed coconut oil with soothing organic and natural ingredients including oatmeal, chamomile  and raspberry extract.

The products aim to soothe and protect babies’ skin against harmful substances or skin inflammation and act as a moisturizer to nourish and keep the skin hydrated.

Certified vegan, the offer is also cruelty free and gluten-free.
