The Eden Project has launched a new collection of ten gifts in collaboration with Boots UK, inspired by the plants, landscapes and stories of the charity and designed to show how nature can be used responsibly.
The plant-based, FSC-certified range includes cleansing bath salts and a relaxation kit, and balances quality and practicality with environmental responsibility.
Three of the collection’s fragrances draw directly on Eden’s Biomes and gardens.
‘Mediterranean sunshine’ draws inspiration from the Mediterranean Biomes’ citrus grove with Sicilian lemon (Citrus limon) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata). ‘Journey through the Rainforest ‘, comprised of ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) and green cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), combines the exotic blooms and warming spices of the Rainforest Biome whilst ‘Among the garden flowers’ gives the seasonal charm of an English garden in spring bloom from rose geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) and damask rose (Rosa damascena).
Tracey Smith, the Eden Project’s commercial partnerships and licensing manager, said: “We are really proud to have worked in partnership with Boots UK to champion what good gifting looks like and we hope it gives people a little bit of Eden to enjoy and to share.”
“This fantastic collaboration is everything that the Eden Project stands for, demonstrating that products can be made with care for the natural world, from the plants that inspire the fragrances to the materials used in the packaging.”
Sustainability is central to the range and all primary packaging is aluminium or glass, with pumps made from the same material, so nothing needs separating before recycling. Cartons are recycled, recyclable and FSC certified, and printed with vegetable-based inks, while the soap wrap is kraft paper rather than plastic shrink film.
All formulations are vegan and between 79% and 95% natural origin. Bags and accessories use organic cotton, and the bamboo, water grass baskets and desiccant sachets are all FSC certified.
The range is available in the Eden Project online shop, at boots.com and in selected Boots stores across the UK.
