Organic, designed with nature in mind

Because organic works with nature, not against it, by protecting our soil, our wildlife and our world. With one small swap to organic, you can take a tangible action to support a more sustainable future for the world in which we live in – by supporting wildlife and high animal welfare; helping combat climate change; and enjoying food as it should be.

ORGANIC BEAUTY AND WELLBEING!

This February, we at GoOrganic UK, have dedicated to organic beauty and wellbeing. Starting with skincare and cosmetics, through natural beauty superfoods, all the way to aromatherapy and anti-allergy products, we will look into brands and varieties and share our findings with you!⁠

We will look deeply in greenwashing issues in the organic beauty industry and the ways we, as consumers, can fight it – certifications and higher standards are a must here!⁠

Healthier soils, restricted use of pesticides, more pollinators and wildlife, no animal testing, sustainable packaging – these are just some of the benefits of organic skincare and wellbeing for environment, people and biodiversity.⁠

Hold tight and keep an eye on our social media feed! We are bringing you lots of information for consideration and education, so you can make more informed decisions when shopping!

Helen Browning’s Organic celebrates women in farming for International Women’s Day 2023

"Women are pioneers. They’re central to farming, forging positive change through agroecology on their farms and in their communities. Many of their farming innovations are based on agroecological principles such as diversifying, using fewer pesticides, scaling up, or building relationships with consumers.’ -– IWD #EmbraceEquity

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE ORGANIC?

Organic means supporting wildlife

Organic farms are havens for wildlife and provide homes for bees, birds, and butterflies. On average, plant, insect and bird life is 50% more abundant on organic farms.

The highest standards of animal welfare

Animals raised organically enjoy the highest welfare standards available. Organic standards insist that animals are given plenty of space and fresh air, and that they are raised in conditions that suit their natural behaviour. Smaller flocks and herds, and more access to the outdoors means organic animals don't have to be routinely treated with antibiotics and wormers. Mutilations like beak-trimming to prevent the aggressive side effects of stress are also not needed or allowed.

Reduced exposure to pesticides

Choosing organic is an easy way to limit our exposure to pesticides, herbicides (weed killers) and many additives and preservatives. Organic farmers aim to create a natural balance between plants and animals to prevent pests, so that they don't need to rely on pesticides.

Enjoying food as it should be

Choosing organic means that you are supporting farming practices with a more traceable production process and you will always know what's in your food. Organic standards prohibit GM crops and ingredients, hydrogenated fats, and controversial artificial foods colours and preservatives.
