About Eco Natural Products - the brand story!

Hey there! The company, Eco Natural Products is passionate about addressing climate challenges and making a positive impact, it is one of my key values I always wanted to contribute more than just in personal life. I'm coming from Poland, and I was tough to save anything what could be re-used, repurposed, or donate to someone who would make a use, it was not only due to savings but also a strong awareness about environmental impact thanks to my mum, and strong awareness about people in needs. Everything there was worth and had value for someone else if wasn't anymore worth and valued to you.

  I also wanted to do something what will support people in the health and lifestyle. When I was still in Poland I had a strong interest in cosmetics, when I came to the UK, I have started to wonder what is inside the bottle and take my time to study ingredients, I invested my time in reading studies including the science based articles, books, sites with opinions of professors and doctors, and I used my knowledge about chemical structure of particles.

  I was shocked! There were so many synthetic sourced ingredients in products I liked and I was using. According to what I found, there is 1000's and 1000's of ingredients allowed to be in cosmetics and food which are considered "safe" without studies on the long effect to the human body. This happened due to a boom of the growth in the pharmaceutical industry, it was happening very quickly, new lab created chemicals were born, which were then tested in the labs to be considered as safe, but they were not tested how they affect the human body in the longer time. The commercial use of the new synthetic ingredients were so beneficial and cheap for manufactures that nobody really cared about long term of usage whether it was a consumption or by long term application on our skin. Remember, what goes to your skin, also goes to your blood stream.

  I believe the ingredients in food and cosmetics should not impact our health and wellbeing. This is way I took a step and searched products which are natural, without the harsh synthetics. My first relation which I built was with an owner of manufacturing company crafting soaps in France, there is common conception that soaps dry out your skin, and that is because a harsh chemical called SLS. The soaps they make are very kind to the skin and their manufacturing practises are environmentally friendly which have a huge value to me. This prompted me to found the brand Eco Natural Products. I started from a small pallet order which then turned it to expanding the ranges with each of my next orders. I used my saving from my day work, previous overtimes and invested it to purchase stock. After my day work I packed orders and send them from a local post office. I was reinvesting constantly the profit and this helped me to grow and take on first person to help the business growth further. I knew there is a need for a place to supply natural alternatives and make it more accessible to people like me, who are searching better health and wellbeing. 

This was over 10 years ago and I'm excited to be nearing the fulfilment of my 1,000,000th order!

  I'm so proud to influence the environmental footprint and selecting the brands with natural safe ingredients in cosmetics, our household products and the most important in our food, by making it accessible to people.

Each of your order contributes to making the positive changes, whether is due to improving your lifestyle, health or natural living, your orders and feedback I get are very encouraging to continue what I started.
