The OneLove
Foundation is the philanthropic arm of PHB Ethical Beauty, which contributes a
portion of its profits to the Foundation.
We have
created the OneLove Foundation based on the belief that it’s vital to share
what we have, to give back, to help others and to care for the earth. All
people and creatures living on this earth are interrelated and dependant on
each other. We all have the power to make a difference in the lives of others,
and no act of kindness - no matter how small - ever goes to waste.
As a family
we have been fortunate to establish a business that is enjoying success, and we
feel it is an honour to be able to share with those who are less fortunate or
who cannot defend themselves. Unlike many companies who give to charity merely
as a PR exercise, we live and breathe this philosophy. We are motivated by
making a difference to the world we live in.
In April
2015 we decided to expand our vision as a compassionate company and announced
that PHB Ethical Beauty will be donating 15% of net profits to charity to help
improve the lives of people and animals in the UK and around the world. As
of January 2016 we are increasing this amount to 20% of our net profits.
Our dream is to turn PHB Ethical Beauty into a not-for-profit organisation that truly makes a difference in people's lives as we believe in people over profit. Through our OneLove Foundation we will fund projects to help people, especially children, and animals in the UK and around the world. We will also partner with established charities and projects to donate and raise awareness about their worthy causes.
Currently we are supporting the following projects!
They have been working to save sight in Zambia since 2011, when they established the country’s first children’s eye care centre in Kitwe.

Their ‘TouchBase’ project
is being built in the heart of Selly Oak, Birmingham. The TouchBase centre will
serve the nation as a location where Sense can deliver its support services for people who
are deaf-blind, and for those with other complex needs. It will also be a
special place that the whole community is welcome to visit and use, with
community spaces, an art gallery, gardens and a community café. TouchBase will
be a thriving, bustling hub in a key development area of our great city.

"We believe
that as a society we are on the brink of big changes. We want to show that
successful businesses can be run in an ethical way. At the heart of
our business is a desire to serve and benefit people and the planet, rather
than a desire to make profit."
We are so pleased to have the opportunity to spread Love and Consciousness in the following ways through our business PHB Ethical Beauty:
Animal testing by cosmetics companies is ugly business.
Worldwide millions of innocent animals suffer from these cruel and deadly
testing procedures. In some countries like China and America animal testing is
rife and big business. Some companies claim not to test on animals in Europe
and yet are happy to sell their products in China where legally products must
be tested on animals before they can be sold there. There are also some
companies, such as The Body Shop, who claim not to test on animals but fail to
mention they are owned by L’Oreal who still test on thousands of helpless
animals each year.
By choosing
our cruelty free beauty products you are helping put an end to Animal Testing
and the unnecessary suffering this causes. There is nothing beautiful about
playing part in the torture and caging of animals. By supporting companies that
fight against testing on animals and refusing to purchase from companies that
do you will help put an end to this awful practice.
As a compassionate company we strongly oppose the use of any animal derived ingredients in beauty products. Animal fats and crushed insects are commonly found in mainstream beauty products and in lots of natural and organic beauty products too. Many 'cruelty free' companies still use animal derived ingredients, and many companies who provide some vegan certified products still use animal ingredients in their ranges.
No beauty product requires the use of animal ingredients to make it desirable or effective yet so many companies continue to make profit from the death of animals.
It’s important to show companies that continue to use these
kinds of ingredients that we’re aware of these practices and don’t find it
acceptable. By vocally demanding they stop and by choosing to purchase products
from companies that only use ethical ingredients we can power a change that
will encourage compassion and make a huge difference to the world we live in.
We love hand making products using only the safest, purest and ethically harvested natural ingredients. Just like our bodies need healthy natural food, we know skin loves to be nourished by natures purest ingredients, which restore balance and harmony to get skin looking its best. Our products contain no alcohols and no harmful chemicals.
Many of the ingredients knowingly used in the cosmetics industry have a detrimental effect on our skin and our overall health & well being. Many commonly used ingredients are well documented for their links to causing cancer and other major health problems.
Up to 60% of what goes on to skin goes into skin. This is why all PHB products are handmade using 100% naturally derived ingredients that are proven to be safe and effective. Click here to view our ingredients policy, and find out more about the ingredients we do & don't use.
All our products are made by hand. They are blended, filled and labelled by hand. Most companies would use machinery
for this. We feel the fact that all of these processes are done by hand
means that each product is made with loving care and greater
attention to detail ensuring the highest quality. Many companies like to
use machinery to get costs lower and lower however as we continue to grow we
want to create more and more job opportunities, therefore creating employment
for people to help assist us in these processes.
Palm oil is a type of edible vegetable oil produced in Africa, Asia and South America. It is used prolifically in the food and cosmetics industries. An astounding 85% of the Palm oil produced globally comes from Indonesia and Malaysia. This industry causes devastation - deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, animal cruelty and indigenous rights abuses in the countries where it is produced, as the land and forests must be cleared for the development of the oil palm plantations. All PHB products are free from Palm Oil and we are raising awareness about this issue as we want to encourage others to stop using this harmful ingredient. To learn more visit: www.saynotopalmoil.com
We care about the beautiful earth we inhabit! We use eco-friendly packaging that comes from post consumer recycled sources. Much of our packaging is 100% recyclable, including our Aluminium lids and bottles, PET Bottles and Glass Jars. We ask that you recycle your PHB packaging and do your bit to help the planet.
We are against the use of plastic micro-beads found in most body scrubs and facial exfoliators. These micro-plastics are non-biodegradable and contaminate the waters of our oceans. They are also often mistaken for food by marine life who are poisoned when they eat them. Also, we do not use harmful detergents in our body and hair care products which pollute the environment when washed down our drains.
We research endlessly the finest and most beneficial natural ingredients to blend with our organic produce and creating effective and ethical beauty products is our passion.
Some of our Ethically Harvested Ingredients: The Minerals in our cosmetics are sourced from India where they are mined ethically. The owners of the mine help to fund schools and daycare centres to help improve the quality of life for their employees. The Organic Shea Butter in our cosmetics comes from a women's Co-op in West Africa.
