Notes on Nature

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...

Grapefruit & Orange is one of our most-loved blends – we’ve even heard rumours of a celebrity hairstylist recommending the shampoo to their clients! And it’s no wonder; when these two citrus fruits get together, they can do great things for your skin, hair and sense of smell. So, what exactly is so wonderful about grapefruit and orange essential oils?

Switching to natural shampoo is good for your hair and the planet – fewer chemicals down the drain and in your precious tresses can only be positive. But as with any change, there are some things it’s useful to be aware of before you begin. Here’s everything you need to know about why natural shampoo’s a winner – and what to expect when switching up your haircare habits.

It’s World Bee Day, and there’s a very good reason why these little creatures get their own date on the international calendar. They might often be ignored or even batted away, but bees are crucial to our future – and way more intelligent than you might think. Sadly, though, bees are at serious risk. Here’s why they’re so vital, so wonderful – and what you can do to help them out.

Ah, coconut oil. Miraculous, multi-tasking coconut oil. The oil of this exotic drupe (that’s a fruit with a single nut inside) is loved the world over, for cooking, cosmetics – even cleaning. Here’s why people can’t get enough of coconut oil.

Here’s our latest list of cultural happenings with a Nature edge. From a free celebration of rivers to a festival in a forest, there are plenty of al fresco summer happenings to enjoy. Plus there’s a fascinating book to add to your to-be-read pile and a spectacular documentary to watch.

While we can (and will!) give you anecdotal insights into all the changes we’ve seen, a more rigorous approach is also necessary — one that is independent and objective. Which is why we're so happy to share that you don’t just have to take our word for it. The University of Sydney's Sydney Environment Institute is conducting a two year research program into the effects of Faith In Nature’s decision to appoint Nature to its board.

It’s nearly eight months since we made Nature a director of Faith In Nature — giving the natural world a voice and a vote on all we do. It felt like planting a seed in the business world — not knowing exactly what it would grow into. But though it is still early days, green shoots are appearing and we’re discovering more and more about it. It can be fragile, it can be forthright, it can be playful. But it is always transformative.
