Corin Craft (organic vegan perfumes from Sussex)
Corin Craft offers nice handmade organic perfumes from Sussex. Also in small atomisers for more affordability, the range includes:
- Rose Absolute
- Ylang Ylang & Jasmine
- Patchouli & Orange Blossom
- Crushed Black Pepper & Sweet Orange
Never spray scent near babies or pets, and air rooms before allowing them back in. Avoid wearing scent at night, if pets sleep on your bed. Same with incense.
Nor use cocoa solid perfumes near pets, in case they lick your skin (same with beauty products containing them including sun creams that can also contain pet-toxic zinc oxide).
Ingredients to avoid in perfume & cologne
Parfum (this masks all kinds of nasties)
- Civet is from the glands of an Asian wild cat
- Castoreum (also used in ‘fake vanilla’) is from beavers
- Castoreum is from beavers
- Musk is from a tiny Siberian deer
- Hyraceum is from an African guinea pig
- Ambergris is from ‘whale poop’
- Rosewood oil (from a critically endangered tree)
- Ensure sandalwood and frankincense are sustainably-harvested
- Ensure eucalyptus is sustainably-harvested (monocultures can cause wildfires near koalas, for these flammable trees, and some harvesting involves chainsaws).
How to safely dispose of old scents
Don’t pour old perfumes down the drain. They may contain alcohol or oils that harm wildlife and water systems. Use it up, recycle empty bottles, or take full or half-full bottles to your hazardous waste facility.
