To play with plants - herbs, bark, flowers, botanicals - is our greatest joy. There is a delicate communion that takes place between me (us) and the plant wisdom gifts of the earth - some of them thousands of years in the growing –the ceremony we hand craft these in, and the ritual in which we use them.
Our packaging materials utilise sustainable materials including, glass, cardboard and corn starch packaging. Our Apothecary is run by renewable energy and our waste from food production is composted to our worms or a local pig farm.

SACRED WOMEN’S WAY IS CHEMICAL FREE
We are committed to ensuring our products are free of:

Synthetic fragrances & colours
Sacred Women’s Way sensual oils only use natural or organic essential oils to scent our products, and the products reflect a natural colour derived from the ingredients.

GMO’s
Also known as genetically modified organisms. All our products are always GMO-free.

Silicones
Used in skincare to smooth and blend formulas, but known not to be skin friendly. Sacred Women’s Way uses only naturally-derived oil-based esters and botanical oils to create smooth and silky textures.

Mineral Oil
Known as a heavy based moisturising agent derived from petroleum that is occlusive upon the skin. Sacred Women’s Way does not use any petroleum-based products because of the potential harmful effects on the skin and environment.

Petrochemicals (petroleum, paraffin)
Similar to Mineral Oil, they are known not to be skin friendly and potentially harmful. As an alternative, Sacred Women’s Way uses naturally derived plant-based waxes.

PEG's 
Known as polyethylene glycol that is used as an emulsifier and/or solvent. Sacred Women’s Way uses alternatives derived from natural plant-based gums and waxes.

Animal derived ingredients (ex. Beeswax)
All Sacred Women’s Way products are considered vegan, as we do not use any animal derived ingredients, except for organic Beeswax, which is a by-product and causes no harm to the bees.

Phthalates (DEP)
Controversial chemical-based solvents used to extend the scent of a synthetic fragrance. Sacred Women’s Way only uses pure essential oils which add light scent and skin benefit.

Ethoxylated Chemicals
Ingredients created by process of ethoxylation are known to cause irritation and may contain carcinogens. Sacred Women’s Way does not allow any ethoxylated ingredients.

Formaldehyde derivatives
A bi-product of preserving agents and known to cause irritation and sensitivity. Sacred Women’s Way does not allow formaldehyde derivatives.
