How has the natural and organic industry changed since Lavera’s launch?
Natural and organic cosmetics have a much stronger position. They’ve come from being a niche product to a market driver, available at every private label of all cosmetic suppliers. We’ve had to expand our offering due to market demand. For example, our deodorants – which are formulated without chlorinated aluminium salts or micro plastic – were introduced due to growing concerns over the potentially harmful ingredients used in traditional deodorants.
