Our commitment

Jane Scrivner has always had an ethical heart and we want you to continue enjoying the products you love without concern and trusting that we are doing all we can to protect the environment, so here is a reminder of our approach as well as our commitment for the future.

Ingredients are everything

We are 100% natural and organic and 99% plant derived (the small exception being the use of organic beeswax in our cleanser and lip balm). Our range is made by hand, almost entirely at our HQ in Stratford upon Avon in our production kitchen where we keep a close eye on every stage, every ingredient, and every pour to ensure we deliver the finest, freshest, ultimate performance product every time.

Our philosophy has always been that fewer ingredients of the highest quality is what makes our skincare. Each ingredient has a story, a supply chain and short link. If there is a chance to change to something better, we do.

We are committed to using certified organic ingredients from certified organic suppliers. We don’t use artificial fragrance and we are totally paraben and SLS free. You also won’t find phthalates, sulphates, silicones, or petrochemicals in our products.

We don’t do ‘base’ oils, we don’t do ‘carrier’ oils, we don’t do oils from ‘countries of more than one origin’ We do CORE oils, single estate, single producer, experienced harvesters, and intelligent suppliers with integrity.

Where we can’t use pure essential oils or vitamin E as our preservative system, we use food grade, broad spectrum, plant derived, ecocert preservatives

Using less

While our skin regime recommends five steps, we recommend that everything is used sparingly as less is genuinely more when it comes to our products.

The less is more thought process applies across everything we do. We have recently undertaken a full packaging review and we’re in the process of changing as quickly as we can (although not overnight as this would mean wasting a lot of current packaging and collateral and we don’t do waste either). Each and every day we are finding ways to convert to planet loving from planet filling across all packaging and process and we will continue to do so.

The first things you will see are our kraft paper mailing bags in place of our white plastic ones. We are also implementing a ‘single wall’ packaging policy where practical and possible. SKINFOLIATE and BIOLURONIC BUZZ are already box free and the next products to be liberated will be our facial oils, having already started with SKIN ELIXIR. All the key information will still be on the Skin Elixir label, and we are now putting all the additional info that was previously on the box on a removable paper wrap. As boxes run out, this will roll out across all of our facial oils.

Our packaging is recyclable. And rest assured TISSUE PAPER is a non-negotiable recyclable too!

We hate waste

We only make and pour what we need in small batches. This means the ingredients stay fresh, the pour of your product is fresh and you get fresh food fresh for your skin. It also means, of course, we don’t waste a drop of our formulations.

Animal testing – never have, never will

We don’t test our products on animals. None of our ingredients are tested on animals and all our products are made in the UK.

We try not to fly

While we are British owned and operated, we do have global partners. Nearly all of our products are transported abroad by road, with less than 10 per cent of our products being transported by air. We want you to have confidence that we will always continue to try and do the right thing.
