Heard the news? The Boots Extracts range is one of the first complete ranges of beauty care products to be certified as containing Fairtrade ingredients.

Developed to make a difference, the Boots Extracts range is now certified to contain Fairtrade ingredients and will available in-store and online from mid-August

The Boots Extracts collection carrying the Fairtrade Mark is made up of 32 gorgeously fragrant and luxurious body washes, bath creams, body butters, body scrubs and lip balms. The Fairtrade ingredients are sourced from around the world to refresh, revitalise and moisturise.

Fairtrade doesn't just mean paying a fair price; it's an entirely different way of doing business that helps people in the world's most marginalised communities escape poverty and promote sustainability.

Boots has worked with its ingredient suppliers to trace the supply chain back to the original producers. Boots UK's Sustainable Development Manger, Stephen Johnson, explains: "It's important for our customers to know where we source our raw ingredients. The Extracts range uses natural ingredients sourced from disadvantaged communities. By working with The Fairtrade Foundation we ensure a fair price is paid for the produce, plus an extra payment, the Fairtrade premium, for social, economic and environmental projects".

Boots are always finding ways to help you feel good, so if you believe in beauty with a conscience the Boots Extracts collection carrying the Fairtrade Mark is for you. Gorgeous, exotic and sumptuous it goes to show that beauty can be more than skin-deep.

Watch out in-store and online from mid-August for the gorgeous Boots Extracts collection.
