Intriguing Natural Extract

Our Absinthe Purifying Hand Care range benefits from an intriguing ingredient: Absinthe extract, otherwise known as wormwood or Artemisia absinthium. Shrub-like perennial, wormwood is a key ingredient in absinthe, the emerald-coloured alcoholic drink, helping to give the beverage its distinctive bitter taste. Known as the green fairy or l’atroce sorcière, absinthe has long captured the public’s imagination with its seductive air of danger.

THE HEART INSIDE

The Absinthe Purifying Hand Care range contains Community Fair Trade ingredients including Community Fair Trade Shea butter, which comes from Ghana. Local women hand-harvest shea nuts, dry them in the sun and crack them to extract the kernels. These are roasted and ground into a paste to make the butter. Our trade with the Tungteiya Women’s Shea Butter Association has helped to fund three medical centres and 10 nursery schools.
