The Vegetarian Society is delighted to approve a new range of luxury vegetarian and certified organic facial products from Skincare Café.

Skincare Café recommend that you follow the ‘4-step plan’:
1. Cleanse the skin with grape-seed & aloe vera cleanser. (150ml, £8.99)
2. Apply almond & patchouli facial oil to face and neck. (30ml, £14.99)

4. Apply vitamin enriched lavender & rose moisturiser. (50ml, £9.99)

All Skincare Café products are suitable for the most sensitive skin and 100% free from petrochemicals, alcohol, DEA, TEA, synthetic perfumes and colourants, all parabens, GM ingredients, talc and sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate – all of which can be irritating to the skin. Order Skincare Café products by phoning 0870 44 327 44. Until the end of Dec post and packaging for all orders under £50 will be charged at a flat rate of £1.

The Vegetarian Society’s ‘approved trademark ‘, established in 1969, has become the most widely recognised and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world. The symbol can be found on a huge range of products, including retail food and drinks, catering supplies, household goods, cosmetics and toiletries.

The strength of the symbol is based on products meeting the following criteria:

  • Products must be free from all meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and crustacea.
  • Products must not contain slaughter by-products such as gelatine or animal fat.
  • Any eggs used in the product must be free-range.
  • Approval will only be granted to products or ingredients not tested on animals since 1986.

The Society also requires that cross contamination does not occur between vegetarian and non-vegetarian products during food production. No other symbol gives consumers such reassurance and inspires the trust that comes from the Vegetarian Society approved symbol.

The Vegetarian Society is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.
National Vegetarian Week 2003 takes place from 19-25 May.
