Fact
: Even after cleaning there are 60% more germs on a kitchen worktop than
there is in a toilet bowl.
There are
thousands of handmade soap and toiletry makers all over North America,
producing tons of soap and lotions from their kitchens and spare rooms
each week. Rooms that are breading grounds for germs.
Whilst many
of these companies are perfectly capable of making a safe and bacteria
free product, many are not and yet continue to sell their unsafe products through
unsuspecting retailers on to the public.
A recent
investigation by EWG found that over 90% of all products intended for
human body use (cosmetics, toiletries and personal care), sold in the USA
and Canada have never had their ingredients tested as safe for human use,
or the finished products tested for harmful bacteria.
Their report can be read here www.ewg.org
.
All ingredients used in the
manufacture of Highland Heart products are tested by an independent
chartered chemist as safe for human use. Our products are then tested
again as free from harmful bacteria and every time we make a batch of any
product it is tested again*.
Highland
Heart manufactures in clean, hygienic, purpose built premises and adheres to stringent
good manufacturing practises, there are no cats jumping on the worktops, no
children
playing in the work area, no food preparation, and nobody sits down for
meals at our work tables.
All
of these processes are designed to give our retailers the confidence to
sell our products and know that they are selling a product that is both safe
and is being continually tested as being safe.
Highland
Heart offers
100% Paraben free products. Each product is handcrafted using floral extracts, cold pressed oils, butters and
100% pure essential oils. All Highland Heart products contain no
synthetic fragrances or petrochemicals and are preserved naturally.
The only animal by product used is beeswax in our Nessie Lip Savers,
and all of our products are tested using humans only, even our Scottie Dog
pet care range was tested on humans before being used on a pet. How
many other manufacturers can make all of these claims and back them up
with hard evidence*? |
