February has been a very exciting month for us here at Saffron Organic with the launch of our very first Organic Skin Care courses. Run by our founder Fiona as part of Kingston University’s Go Green Week, two one-hour lunch time courses were held on the 10th and 16th. We are pleased to say we managed to raise some money for People & Planet along the way, which will go towards helping to encourage schools, universities and students to become greener. We meet some lovely people with an active interest in organic skin care, had some great feedback and are looking forward to running out next courses.

According to a report in 2009 by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a US coalition of health and environmental groups, 10 out of 10 face paints tested in the US contained lead, while nickel, cobalt and chromium were also found. These metals are skin allergens and can also be carcinogenic, which is a scary thought given that none of them were listed on the product labels.
