Here in my home turf, sunny South Wales, can be found, I am proud to boast, the first Eco factory in Europe with its own wind generator. Montagne Jeunesse is the admirable green company doing their bit to reduce global pollution. Makers of natural hair and beauty products, including the popular face masque sachets, on first sight they may look like any other brash cosmetics giant. But Montagne Jeunesse state that "beauty should not be at the cost of our precious environment". In order to achieve their goal the company rigoursly test their products to ensure they don't damage the environment or the consumer. They do not test on animals and are vegetarian society approved. Plus they use materials that will biodegrade and where possible they use recyclable packaging. You can buy direct from the company and the masque sachets will cost you just one measly quid! [Ella]
