-
We are committed to the use and expansion of
solar energy and other renewable resources.
- We are committed to
generating a Low Carbon footprint with the exclusive use of local and
Australian service suppliers, product ingredients and components.
- We
are committed to the use of energy saving technology for communications
with our suppliers, distributors and retailers within Australia and
worldwide. At present we estimate our annual savings are 6.5MT of
Carbon as a result of our diligence and conscious awareness.
- We
acknowledge the traditional indigenous inhabitants of Australia for
whom we offer thanks and admiration for surviving the last 40,000 years.
All our formulations are proprietory, in otherwords we have conceived and developed them ourselves in concert with our team of trained natural health and cosmetic professionals. Our products contain naturally derived vegetable or mineral based ingredients and are made exclusively in Australia.
We do not use petrochemical products or support the petrochemical industry - we are paraben free. As one of our preservation bases we use an organic chemical compound preservative derived from coconut oil and Potassium Sorbate which
comes from the Mountain Ash Tree. Both of these combined offer maximum protection for the user from microbial and fungicidal attack. Percentages are finely balanced to ensure maximum efficacy
with minimum content. We have found the use of citrus based
preservatives can in some cases reduce the purity of a product by
supporting a high microbial environment.
In the 21st Century, conscious and aware organisations don't test on animals and in our case we do not use any by products from animals which have been killed to supply meat, fats or oils.
All ingredients as shown with each product are in accordance with The International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) as set down by EU Council Directive 93/35/EEC of 14 June 1993, the so-called “sixth amendment” to the Cosmetics Directive.
All product ingredients are natural or naturally derived but might contain in some
case small %'ages of mineral oil fragrances or organic chemical
preservatives synthetically derived from vegetable or mineral by-products. At no time can we make the impossible claim our products to be 100% natural but we are working to make them so.
All ingredients have Japanese Pre- Cosmetic Regulation approval; the toughest market in which to gain approval

SeaFlower-Australia branded products are packed in 100% Carbon Neutral recycled recyclable PET bottles designed where possible to meet airline ' carry-on' regulations. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conclude that PET recyclable plastic
bottles are more environmentally sustainable than glass. This is
especially so the longer transport distances become in getting the
finished product to the end-user. The LCA concludes that using PET
bottles instead of glass can decrease Global Warming Potential (GWP) by
14% and reduce the use of fossil resources by 23%
