Notes on Nature

“Where did you get your amazing waterproof from?” – that was the question on a lot of people’s lips when our team were dishing out free soap at Bluedot and Kendal Calling recently. We were testing out our brand new Faith In Nature x Rainkiss ponchos and bucket hats. Here’s how it went, and how to get your hands on these wonderful waterproofs...

So: you’re reusing, refilling and doing everything you can to reduce your plastic consumption in day-to-day life. And you’re feeling pretty proud of yourself (rightly so!). Then along comes holiday season – and all your efforts fly out of the window. Because holidays involve a lot of plastic. But with a little careful planning, you can drastically reduce the amount of plastic waste your holiday creates. Here’s how…

That’s a wrap! Our first ever crowdfunding campaign is officially closed – and we’re delighted to report that it was a huge success. Here's how it went...

Phew, that was fun! While our tents dry off, we’re reflecting on the muddy fun we had at both Bluedot and Kendal Calling festivals. Besides finding time to dance to great acts like Roisin Murphy and Chic, we spread the word about Nature’s rights and handed out some much-appreciated soap. Here’s more about what we got up to in the fields…

If you’re happy with your regular shampoo, why on earth would you want to swap your trusty bottle for a bar? Actually, it’s got a lot to do with the earth. There are so many reasons why using a shampoo bar is better, for the planet and for you and your locks. Plastic Free July is the perfect opportunity to give zero waste haircare a go. Hopefully, you’ll get the shampoo bar bug and never go back to bottles. Need a little more convincing? Read on.

Since 2011, the Plastic Free July campaign has been encouraging people all over the world to reduce their plastic waste for the month of July. By now, we’re all aware of the damage plastic does to our planet, but it can still be hard to avoid it in day-to-day life. Here are some of our favourite ways to part with plastic, in July – and always.

Festival season has landed and we’re very excited about it. We’re heading to Bluedot and Kendal Calling – and we’ve been discussing the very serious topic of festival must-haves. Aside from the obvious (and let’s face it: boring) stuff like a tent, sensible footwear and a sleeping bag, what should you be packing in your rucksack this summer?

Trying to find the right shampoo for your hair can be overwhelming. If you’re looking for a formula that’s vegan, cruelty-free and made without silicones, parabens and SLS, our range is a great place to start. But with so many varieties on offer, which one should you reach for? Allow us to help – after all, we’ve been making naturally-derived shampoo since 1974.

Summer is amazing. Longer, warmer days mean more time spent in Nature, which is looking (and smelling!) pretty good at this time of year. But all those hours spent in the great outdoors can create chaos for your skin. From harsh sun to itchy insect bites, there are plenty of skin issues to contend with in the hotter months. Here are some of our skincare tips for calming things right down.

The longest day has arrived, and many plants are in bountiful bloom right now. Plants and flowers are inextricably linked to the summer solstice: in ancient celebrations, healing herbs were believed to be at their most powerful and potent when harvested on this day. Here are some of the beautiful plants associated with this wonderful time of year.

We love refilling! And World Refill Day (that’s today) is the perfect chance to kick-start a refilling ritual. Refilling massively reduces plastic waste: think small switches that make a huge positive impact on the planet. In the spirit of the day (and beyond), we asked our team to share their expert refilling hacks. 

We’re shouting it from the treetops: we just became a B Corp! But what does ‘B Corp’ mean? We ask...
