And they are part of the Nestle group.

The Body Shop is owned by the L'Oréal Group which is a listed company but Nestlé own about a quarter of the shares.

We like Green People too.

Lush is good although quite expensive. The Naked range in Boots is paraben free too.

You have to be VERY careful with Lush products as they do use some things that I wouldn't touch with a barge pole such as SLS. They have a reputation for being 100% natural and its quite simply not the case :wink:

SLS is derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. It's not toxic (i.e. it's not carcinogenic) but it can irritate the skin and eyes and is best avoided, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Ah yes but Angles is completely made from stuff in the garden and food cupboard so no nasty bits at all. :mrgreen:
