Enter the world of Jainism, ahimsa (non violence) and respect for life through your daily beauty ritual: Organic Blue is an Indian brand, born in India and grown in the UK, founded by a group of Jainists who, faithful to this ancient philosophy thought to bring their beliefs into their daily life with a range of natural products in line with their personal beliefs. The whole range (picture is part of the man’s bodycare line) is certified by the Vegan Society while a lot of products come with the Soil Association certification.

It contains no animal ingredients or by products, it is certified by LAV, the Lega Anti Vivisezione (the Italian Anti Vivisection League), the whole brand is certified by ICEA (Bio cosmetics quality mark), nickel tested <1 PPM and it is dermatologically tested on volunteers.

I love the anti-ageing face cream, the Oat shower gel and body cream. Bjobj also offers a baby and children range. I a pretty positive I saw it sold in France and Belgium. Go out and buy it safely.
