Say NO to Cruel Cosmetics in Europe!

At Melvita we have signed up the BUAV petition, have you?

After a long, hard battle led by the BUAV www.buav.org, the European Union was due to be free of all new animal tested cosmetics by 2013.

But now officials in Europe are considering extending this deadline by up to ten years. This could mean 10 more years during which thousands more rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats could be injected, gassed or force-fed and killed worldwide for cosmetics products sold in the UK and EU.

We can’t allow this to happen. Say NO to animal suffering. Say NO to cruel cosmetics in Europe.

Please sign the petition now www.nocruelcosmetics.org

Discover Green Books Environmental Publishers for over 21 years

At Melvita, we are really passionate about the environment, nature and biodiversity. This is why you will find in our store, not only your top-to-toe certified organic beauty products, but also advice and information about how we can all do our share to help our planet. 

We will display a selection of books about this subject and we have chosen to source them from GREEN BOOKS. If you don't know them yet, they are an independent publisher of books on a wide range of environmental and cultural issues. 

All the books are on a minimum of 75% recycled paper, but it’s usually 100%, using vegetable inks and UK printers, thus reducing ‘book miles’ and carbon footprint. www.greenbooks.co.uk

NEW Melvita Eco Store powered by GOOD ENERGY 

We are very proud to announce that the energy for our NEW Melvita Eco Store in Covent Garden will be supplied by GOOD ENERGY. This is an incredible partnership and we have asked Kate Monson from GOOD ENERGY to explain a little bit more...

"Good Energy is unique. We are the UK’s only dedicated 100% renewable electricity supplier. While all other suppliers use fossil fuels and nuclear in their supply mix, this is a compromise we are not willing to make. Not only this, but our main electricity tariff is independently certified by the Green Energy Supply Certification Scheme."

So where do you get your green energy from?

We specialise in getting green electricity from the people who harness it to the people who want to use it and our 26 000 customers use electricity generated by over 1,500 independent wind, hydro, wave, solar and sustainable biomass generators spread across the country.

The Melvita store will be powered by Good Energy, can individual people choose you as well?

Yes definitely! If you want to make the same type of decision with your energy supplier as you do when choosing Melvita for your beauty products then click here to find out how easy it is to make the switch to a cleaner, greener, Good Energy. http://www.goodenergy.co.uk/
