Our Values and Products

Our values and products

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” Lao Tzu

We believe that we all need to make changes in how we live and how we buy, so that we can start to turn around the environmental degradation of our planet.

At the core of Green Blue You is a zero waste delivery model; reusing bottles and containers and avoiding single use, disposable plastics. We also offer household essentials such as rubber gloves which we deliver alongside the refills.

We carefully review our products to ensure maximum sustainability in terms of ingredients, impacts on biodiversity, carbon footprint, packaging, and disposal. None of our products will be tested on animals and we look for products with fair and ethically traded ingredients.

There are often trade offs to be made and we endeavour to be transparent so our customers can make their own choices. An example would be our 5 litre plastic jerry bottles. After a lot of research we have gone for virgin rather than recycled plastic but intend for the bottles to be reused until end of life. After a lot of consideration we took the view that if our customers are paying for high quality ingredients it is important not to use recycled plastic which is more likely to contain contaminants. We recognise some of our customers may take a different view.

We have selected products on the basis of best available information, in discussion with suppliers, but we are committed to continuous and ongoing review of all of the products in our range. If you take a different view on our choices please get in touch, we are really happy to have a conversation.

Also if there's an item you'd like us to stock please let us know and we will consider the request.
