Organic Pharmacy Carrot Butter Cleanser

It’s easy to find products recommended for your skin type but harder to know if they work in synergy. 

And which ones can be trusted to be free of the chemicals that could pose a risk to you and the environment? 

We have put this question to a woman who, along with her business partner, is probably the UK’s foremost expert on green beauty. 

Jo Fairley and Sarah Stacey are the people behind the famous beautybible.com and are passionate about it’s eco-arm, the greenbeautybible.com. 

Jo and Sarah both write for the leading national press on green living and offer expert advice to organisations like the Soil Association and the Women’s Environmental Network. Jo co-founded Green & Blacks with her husband, Craig Sams, and now also runs an organic bakery and food store. 

Their research for the Green Beauty Bible book and website has been meticulous, setting up strict and clear qualifying criteria (see their website for more on this) and only recommending products thoroughly tested by thousands of people.
