There's no doubt about it, organic is the dish of the day! Beauty has gone into "green" mode and are joining organic decoration and fashion, already in vogue for several years...
The institutes
Whereas 100% bio shops are few and far between in Brussels, the beauty institutes have stocked up on a variety of bio products in response to an increasing demand. Take a look at our beauty institute directory.
In Hoeilaart, on the southern border of Brussels, the Sylvitis institute proudly provides 100% natural care. Some of the products used have not been tested on animals and some are even homemade. Don't let this put you off, BrusselsLife highly recommends the detour.
The shops
Beauty shops providing bio products are starting to emerge. Super Green Me - The Ecoshop can be found on the ever so popular rue Antoine Dansart, promoting everyday ecology and access for all. Cosmetics are, of course, at the forefront of this beautiful journey.
Cosmeticary In the same area but with a style which reminds one of the Château de Poudlard, the Desmecht herbalist offers the last word in technology while retaining all the benefits of nature.
A few minutes walk from Ma Campagne, in a perfect surroundings, Bamboo offers a selection of products, some ethical, some bio, some long lasting and often a bit of each. Alongside the range of cosmetics, you will also find fashion and interior design items.
Finally we would feel bad not to mention the Oxfam World shops which, while not being specifically dedicated to bio do offer a much appreciated fair trade approach.
