Heidi and Claudine, founders of Organic Monkey, say: “Organic products are gentle enough for delicate skin and less drying, better used and received by your skin than synthetic substances. Organic ingredients haven’t been subjected to pesticides or artificial fertilisers and release less greenhouse gases so are better for the environment too.”
