Bubbles Update

As predicted, September and October were busy months for wholesale orders. We have been taken by surprise with the amount of last minute trade orders we have had during November as well! This accompanied with retail orders is leaving little time for us to get prepared for our trade show in early January. We still have a lot of products to make, labels to prepare and the general organising of the display of our stand. This has resulted in us having to work Saturdays and Sundays and put buying Christmas presents on hold.

Rosewood Essential Oil.......Unfriendly!

It isn't only the rainforest that is being destroyed to make way for palm oil plantations. Many essential oils are also considered as being "unfriendly" to the environment. Natural Bubbles doesn't use Rosewood essential oil because this sweet spicy oil is distilled from a hardwood tree. Over-harvesting of this oil has caused major de-forestation. Unfortunately areas previously logged haven't seen much regrowth so it is now law for distilleries to plant a new tree for every one they cut down, although it will still take many many years to grow to full height.

Us at Natural Bubbles strongly oppose the use of palm oil in our soaps. We feel that any use of palm oil whether this be sustainable or not is a clear signal that there is a need for palm oil. Help us highlight this issue and buy products that are palm oil free.........start today with Natural Bubbles Handmade Soaps!!
