Vegetarian Society gets in a lather over
Red Star’s innovative Liquid Foaming Soap

The Vegetarian Society is delighted to approve Red Star ‘Genuine Hand Crafted Liquid Soap’.

Using new ‘Airspray’ foaming dispensing technology, the lavender-scented soap creates a whole new washing experience: The soap is propelled from the dispenser ready foamed!

Red Star Liquid Soap is a gentle, sensual cleansing experience that leaves the skin feeling soft and fragrant. Like all Red Star products it contains no animal derived ingredients and complies with the BUAV cruelty-free standard.

Red Star Handcrafted Liquid Soap will be available in shops soon, get your hands on it sooner by ordering from the website: www.redstarhandcraftedsoaps.co.uk

The Vegetarian Society’s ‘seedling symbol‘, established in 1969, is 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.
• 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.
