Sansaar’s Choices

At Sansaar we’ve carefully chosen suppliers that share the same ethos as us when it comes to using all natural ingredients, being eco-friendly and having ethical business principles. We want to share our reasons for choosing our suppliers so that you too can know the origin of the products you’re buying.

The main reason we love our suppliers is because a majority of them are UK based small businesses that hand make their products. Where products are sourced outside the UK, we ensure that the ingredients are 100% natural, or the materials are eco-friendly, and the business is ethical.

Earth Conscious make natural deodorants and baby balm. Born out of a desire to find a natural deodorant that worked effectively they started to make their own.

They also believe in making choices that have less of a negative impact on the planet and their products reflect this by being plastic free, palm oil free, cruelty free, certified organic and vegan.

In addition to this 10% of all their sales of deodorant and baby balm go to the Marine Conservation Society.

We absolutely love both of their products. The deodorant works well and the baby balm is perfect for babies and for taking with you as a hand and lip moisturiser. Buy here.

Stainless steel lunchbox by Elephant Box

The Elephant Box was born out of Joy and Liz’s desire to create a stainless steel lunchbox so they could be part of the solution to the plastic problem. Inspired by the Indian Tiffin, they came up with the idea for the Elephant Box a stainless steel lunch box that holds a hearty packed lunch.

We love that Joy and Liz are staying true to their principles and are adding their voice to the conversation about plastics and their stainless steel products can be reused over and over. Buy here.

Stainless Steel lunchbox and water bottle in cotton bag by Mintie

Mintie Lunchboxes are the creation of Environmental Life, a family run business based in Brighton, UK. Making packed lunches every day for their kids, Vic and Dan noticed how much plastic wrap and foil they were using. They also noticed that they were storing loads of plastic boxes that would often warp and smell over time. In addition to this they read more about the potential harm exposure to plastics can do. They searched the market but couldn’t find anything suitable so decided to design their own. 

The great thing about Mintie Lunchboxes is that they are made of stainless steel which is durable and guarantees no transfer of man-made toxins to your food. Stainless steel is also infinitely recyclable, which is great when you want to make choices that are kinder to the environment. Buy here.

Organic cotton string bags black long handle by turtle bags

Turtle Bags was established, in 2001, to raise awareness of the hazards of plastic bags and to provide a suitable alternative.

We love the fact that all their bags are made using organic cotton, certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).  This means that no chemical pesticides or fertilisers were used in the production of the fabric of these bags.

They only use fair trade cotton which means the farmers have worked under safe conditions with an agreed minimum wage. Buy here.

The founders of Upcircle, William and Anna Brightman, noticed that a lot of coffee grounds were going to waste every day, and decided to give them a new lease of life. They began collecting coffee grounds from one coffee shop and now collect from hundreds across London.

Expanding their range, Upcircle uses other ingredients that would normally go to waste, such as aromatic chai spices, apricot stones and olive pips.

They create quality skincare products that are 100% natural and care about creating a positive environmental impact.

As a result, they’ve created skincare products that give great results and do the planet some good too. Upcircle are the pioneers of circular / by-product beauty and, like us, they want to leave the world better than we found it. Buy here.
