In the heart of Lancashire’s countryside, The Natural Living Shop at Cedar Farm in Mawdesley stands as a beacon for those seeking a more sustainable lifestyle.
Founded by Kate, known online as @my_plastic_free_home, and her partner Mike, the shop offers a curated selection of eco-friendly products, food refill stations and beauty items, emphasising the importance of reusable materials like glass.
Embracing glass for sustainability
Glass is a cornerstone of sustainable living. It’s non-toxic, endlessly recyclable, and doesn’t leach harmful chemicals, making it ideal for storing food, cosmetics, and household items. Unlike plastic, glass doesn’t degrade over time, ensuring longevity and reducing waste.
The Natural Living Shop offers a variety of glass containers to support eco-friendly habits:
-
Amber glass cosmetic bottles: Perfect for homemade oils and serums, these 50ml bottles with aluminum lids are reusable and stylish.
-
Amber glass jars: Available in 120ml sizes, these jars are ideal for balms, creams, and other DIY skincare products.
Kate and Mike’s commitment to sustainability was sparked by a desire to ensure a better future for their children. They found it challenging to identify truly sustainable products amidst a sea of greenwashing. This led them to create a space where others could access genuinely eco-friendly products without the guesswork.
Visit or shop online
Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, The Natural Living Shop invites everyone to join their journey towards a more sustainable future. Whether you’re a seasoned eco-warrior or just beginning your green journey, Kate and Mike are ready to welcome you with open arms and a wealth of knowledge.
