NEW SCENT FOR SOCIAL
ENTERPRISE The Soap Co. has launched a new fragrance to its collection of luxury eco and bee-friendly range: Rhubarb & Geranium.
Each bottle sold helps between 10 to 20 bees, as they contain skin soothing calendula and borage botanicals from British farms. Borage and calendula provide a vital source of food for bees during the June nectar gap and enable last minute nectar collection before winter.
Camilla Marcus-Dew, co-Founder of The Soap Co., said: “We firmly believe there should be no compromise when it comes to combining award- winning design, responsible living and social purpose. The idea for our eco collection came from a realisation that there wasn’t a wide variety of great smelling truly eco-friendly products on the marketplace.”
