SUSTAINABILITY ETHOS
At Rhug, we have championed the highest standards of organic and sustainable farming for many years, protecting and enhancing the environment for future generations. We are now applying these same principles to our skincare collection, using sustainably sourced ingredients from the estate and other environmentally friendly producers, with an absolute assurance of quality, provenance and traceability. We have achieved the highest certifications of COSMOS, Leaping Bunny cruelty-free, Vegan and Halal. All our products are hand made in the UK with integrity and care, and all our packaging is made using recyclable materials. Using clean, renewable energy to reduce the impact on the environment is of paramount importance. The estate produces its own energy with hydro, geothermal, solar and wind turbine projects. The farm is carbon negative.
