Organic skin care products on top of Christmas lists
More people in the UK are considering buying their loved ones organic skin care and other green products, according to one expert, who said that consumers are trying to encourage ethical lifestyles in the ones they love.
Miles Owen, director of ectopia.co.uk, said that if people can afford it they will opt to go for an ethical product over a chemical-based one, because more consumers are aware of the effects their choices have on the environment.
They are trying to encourage each other by buying them presents which are not necessarily expensive, but just get people thinking about what they are purchasing and for what reasons.
He added that, because of the raised awareness about climate change and human impact on the environment, even more people will buy green.
Friends Provident recently found that 27 per cent of people are willing to buy a green Christmas gift and 35 per cent were willing to hunt for a health or beauty-related Christmas gift that hasn't been tested on animals.
