Karen: "I would also like to add, that I would ask them what they are passionate about and what they care about. There’s always something that we have as a brand that will resonate with every person.

"There’s a shop full of products which have a story behind them – from where we sourced the ingredients from, to the projects we work with around the world, the communities we work with, about how we don’t test on animals and the levels we go to find alternative tests. Whatever you’re passionate about, whether it is animal welfare, or human rights or saving the planet, or effective product … there is something for everybody.

"Our customers come in, and we want to find out what they care about, as there is always something in our store that we can show and tell them. There are effective products, but there are so many layers to it. The shop is just the tip of the iceberg!"

Whatever you’re passionate about, whether it is animal welfare, or human rights or saving the planet, or effective product … there is something for everybody.

What are your top three favourite products from the store?

Harvinder: "I think it depends on how you would want to feel for the day. I do try all their masks. If I feel a bit too exhausted and I want to be bit less wrinkly, I’d use the Rosy Cheeks face masks, which work very well. But sometimes, I feel like it’s not what I want because I get too oily, so I’m going to want to use a mask that’s mattifying. So, it depends on how I would want to feel.

"Sometimes I have bad hair days, so if it gets too flat I might want to use the Jersey Bounce shampoo. But one of our best creations is the ‘Toothy Tabs’, because it’s easy to carry and convenient. Also our shampoo bars because it’s so handy and it’ll last you a long time. I think that’s very innovative, and saves on plastic waste."

Steve: "I would agree with the shampoo bars – definitely. Naked products, no packaging, and you get so many washes out of it – at least 80! I also like the bath bombs because they’re fun, and again come with no packaging. It contains bicarbonate soda and citric acid mixed together, which will soften the water and is really kind for the skin. Lots of different colours, do bath arts, etc.

"The other one is probably Catastrophe Cosmetics face mask, which contain fresh fruits, which is really good for my skin. That just makes me feel revitalised."

Karen: "I would say the Knot-Wraps. We have gift boxes in the store, but we have these beautiful scarves – made of recycled plastic bottles! You get something really beautiful made out of plastic waste. That's very lovely.

"Also, I like the solid soaps, because it’s underrated and versatile. People have this notion that liquid soaps are more hygienic because it’s in a pump, but in actual fact, it is not! Solid soap is an alkali so bacteria does not grow on it. We hand-pour ours and use a palm-free base – we’re a vegetarian company so we don’t want to use animal fat – but still don’t want to take part in deforestation. So, we use grapeseed, sunflower and coconut oil. I also love our scrubs – one called Scrubee. It contains natural exfoliants and softening butters."
