I am an aromatherapist with nearly 30 years experience. I was very pleasantly surprised with the Organic Roman Chamomile essential oil I received. Stunning. I have used the same organic essential oil shop for 25 years. I am so pleased I found this shop and the price was competitive.

Whilst the cosmetics industry itself is now highly regulated with all personal care products requiring safety assessments and registration before being put on sale, the ingredients industry is much less regulated. There are many ‘kitchen sink’ operators out there and it can be hard to tell who is who. We believe in promoting the reputation of the industry and, as an ethical company with quality a top priority, we promise to:
We label all our products with:
When I started Cosmetics Made Easy, a key core value for me was to ensure that we treated all those working for us, employed or as contractors, fairly and with respect. Not only is it simply the right thing to do, it also recognises how valuable staff are to a company, possibly our biggest asset.
Becoming an accredited Living Wage Employer made perfect sense. Whilst the government have made steps in recent years to raise the minimum wage and create a National Living Wage (for over 25s), these figures still don’t account for the real cost of living, the higher cost of living in London or for those aged 18-25 who still have the same living costs as those over 25. I simply don’t think that is fair or good for our country.
As a living wage employer, Cosmetics Made Easy voluntarily pays the Real Living Wage to all workers over 18. This rate is independently calculated based on the real cost of making ends meet. We believe this is better for workers, better for us as an employer (happy workers are productive & effective workers) and better for society.
We value our local community and truly believe that by helping each other, life gets better for us all. We are fortunate to have some fabulous, independent businesses on our doorstep and we try to work together in as many ways as we can. We are proud that The Apothecary, Cardiff, was our first local stockist and it gives us a good excuse to pop in for a cup of tea and delicious slice of Michele’s indulgent cake!
Our local businesses work together to create community events like the Meidrim market for village businesses, and supporting fundraising for the village park which is entirely funded by the people of the village.
We love those occasions, but it’s the small, daily acts like picking up a piece of rubbish, taking in a parcel for a neighbour or simply taking the time to say hello and share some news that really bring us together as a community.
Where goods do come from abroad, we make efforts to ensure that the workers producing the items are well treated & paid a fair wage for their locality. By working with cooperatives, we can be sure that funds go directly to the workers and back into local communities. Visit our Blog to hear their stories.
