The Art of gifting
We all like to treat people and here are some little known facts for you about how it all started. The tradition of gifting goes back as far as the Babylonians, when Nimrod’s wife, Semiramis, reincarnated him as his own son – strange but true.
But it was the Romans who perfected the art of gifting by presenting both the Emperor and each other with good luck tokens. As you can imagine, they all tried to outdo one another and gifts became bigger and bigger.
Our favourite gift bearer of all time is Aphrodite, the goddess of love. She is known to have given, Eros, the God of Love, a rose. Hence the rose being the classic symbol of the gift of love.
At Ruby Red, we don’t have any real roses for you to give, but we do have some great, aromatic, natural beauty.
Just remember that natural products, just like us, are sensitive to temperatures. They get hot and bothered id they get too warm, hard and shivery if they get too cold. So treat them with care.
The perfect, ethical beauty gift
Ethical for us means being green and planet friendly; using only fairly traded, sustainable organic ingredients to make our natural beauty products without artificial colours, synthetic fragrances, parabens, animal fats, petroleum based ingredients or any other chemical baddies; just 100% natural goodness. Perfect for the veggies as well.
Our Fragrances are solid so no damage to the ozone layer. Our blends are created using natural perfumery techniques; which means that, like a symphony, the top, heart and base notes of gorgeous, organic essential oils are combined to make truly wonderful natural fragrances for you to enjoy.
And all our natural beauty products are freshly made by us, in small batches in our own beauty workshop in London; that way we can keep a close eye on our carbon consumption. We only use recyclable or bio-degradable packaging and try to do our best for this beautiful planet of ours.
