We often think about beauty and nutrition separately, but the two are very much interlinked. We are what we eat - as well as what we put on our body. Learn more about how, and why, we have chosen our brands and products on GSB.

We believe in the transformative effect of food on our bodies and skin.
In our quest for a healthy, glowing complexion, we've sought inspiration from all over the world, from ancient traditional herbal remedies to the latest in superfood supplements.
If you're careful about your diet and nutrition, don’t forget your beauty routine.
Our standard for beauty is simple: high-performing skincare, using only beneficial and safe ingredients that won't harm your health or that of our planet and animals.
We choose labels and products tried and tested by experts, with an emphasis on natural-led formulations backed by science.
We're committed to natural beauty and the power of plants, minerals and vitamins to heal and fortify our skin. Our brands stand out from the crowd by prioritising organic or wildcrafted ingredients where possible, supplemented only by clean, lab-synthesised ingredients when they do a better job (for now) than nature.
Our products are formulated with real, longer-term benefits in mind and leave out harmful or questionable ingredients that may cause allergies, hormonal and reproductive issues.
We come into contact with so many of these risky ingredients in common personal care and household products due to weak and inconsistent industry regulation. Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and the Environmental Working Group (EWG)’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database both have great guides to help you choose safer products.
Our brands formulate with organic and sustainably sourced ingredients where possible because it's better for your skin and our environment.
You can also feel good knowing these companies are doing what they can to minimise their carbon footprint, with many promoting fair trade opportunities and even directly supporting local communities.
