Open Minded Academic

Independent Purity Testing - Chemistry Clinic - Strathclyde University. We initially approached Interface who are the body that link up companies in Scotland with academia in a collaborative project. We wanted to in fact develop at that stage an asthma free candle knowing we're using the purest of ingredients. We learned from the responses that was a little naive as there are so many factors that trigger asthma. However one Department did take the time to arrange to speak to us to see if they could help in another way. I received a phone call from Dr John Liggat (pictured)...

Citrus Oils - Beautifying and Uplifting

However providing we use the right type, quality and concentration of such oils, they are safe to use on the majority of skins and indeed pack a beauty punch. Take Lime Peel for one - provided we use distilled Lime Essential Oil - we choose Certified Organic of India at present - it smells so refreshing - and is uplifting to the soul - this scavenges free radicals (anti - ageing) and as an astringent has the effect of toning the skin....
