Description
The Wallingford Botanicals concept comes from a need for whole-body care products that do not contain toxic-Paraben based preservatives, synthetic fragrances and or dyes but yet retains the efficacy of all natural root-ingredients with an exceptionally elegant appeal. Aside from our focus for offering the best all natural body-care products, we are taking steps in giving back. We are members of the Wallingford Chamber of Commerce as well as the Wallingford Community Kitchen. Currently we are working with 1% For The Planet in becoming members as well. We at Wallingford Botanicals hope to offer a product people can feel happy about having out on their countertops as well as in their hearts.
Green Steps Taken
The office: Wally workers will be conducting most of their R/D in home offices in an effort to reduce gas consumption. We have partnered with an eco-friendly cosmetic laboratory located in the Pacific Northwest whose practices and environmental beliefs are aligned with ours. Additionally, we hope to have our fulfillment entirely electronic in an effort to minimize paperwork. Our home offices are Green-conscious with recycling posts, compost pales as well as energy efficient efforts.
The Product: All of our products will be free of toxic-Parabens, Synthetic Fragrances and Dyes. The Packaging: Only recycled packaging will be considered as well as re-usable containers.
