GOING SLOW

We live by the principles of the Slow Movement. This started in Rome, where protesters camped outside, protesting against the opening of their latest restaurant. Since then the movement has gained momentum and now cover all areas of our lives, from slow food to slow cities! Our culture has become obsessed with speed, and the Slow Movement attempts to remind us that we all have the same basic needs, and they should be attended to. We all need a little loving - some nature - and some time for each other! Life is rushing by—sometimes without us being consciously present! We think we can do things better!

Here at Nothing Nasty, we think life should be about more than going through the motions! For us, living by the slow principles means making things properly: We buy fairly traded and organic ingredients whenever possible. We make natural skin care products with ingredients that are added for their quality and properties, not because they are cheap. We use butters and oils extracted by cold pressing, the good old fashioned way! Our processes ensure that most of the vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, enzymes and minerals in our ingredients are retained! We mix our products by hand, stirring the creams and oils together while we enjoy the lovely smells.

We do work long hours sometimes, but we make sure we remember to take time out to enjoy life and our loved ones. We make products for other people, not because they are awfully difficult to make, but because we know they want to spend their time doing something else.

We believe that by making conscious choices every day, we can change the world.

As consumers we are powerful, and we welcome the opportunity to do our share. We hope you join us!
