Primark has partnered with Fairtrade Foundation for a new range of sustainable skincare that comprises body butter, bath oil, face cream, a balm to oil cleanser, multibalm, and hand cream. Each product is formulated using Fairtrade-certified shea butter and olive oil and will be branded with a Fairtrade emblem to indicate that farmers and workers have been properly compensated for the ingredients used in the products. The Primark Cares initiative aims to make sustainable products affordable for all while ensuring that all workers and farmers involved receive fair remuneration.
"The move means an exciting opportunity to tell Primark’s customers about Fairtrade cosmetics and the ingredients they contain and help build a new market and fairer future for farmers. Fairtrade wants to leverage this launch to reach new and younger audiences, exciting them about Fairtrade and building growth for the future," said Anna Barker, Head of Commercial Partnerships at the Fairtrade Foundation.
