WHY THEY’RE CONSCIOUS
Banyan Tree began its journey by building retreats of rest and rejuvenation, championing the ethos of embracing the environment and empowering the community. Every destination is designed with an intention to enhance your well-being, to extend the experience of comfort and stillness into your daily life. They looked into the sourcing of each ingredient, increasing the amount of organic origin items that are ECOCERT-certified as well as ensuring that the base quality of each formulation was high, such as olive and coconut base oils. They aim to champion the heritage and traditions of artisanal craft to the rest of the world and more importantly, empower the communities with the truth that craft can become a viable business. Craft is a universal language that bridges cultural and language gaps, and they hope that the stories behind each craft continues with you.
WHAT’S THEIR FIGHTÂ
POWER TO THE PEOPLE:Â In the last 20 years, Banyan Tree Gallery has commissioned over 100 products with women communities to provide them with a sustainable source of income, impacted 29 women communities in 7 countries and showcased 12 traditional craft techniques to promote Asia’s diverse heritage and culture.
PROTECT THE PLANET: Their offerings are free from parabens, sulphates and colouring, with 95% of product contents derived naturally. Committed to their ethos on sustainability, they have replaced all gift packaging with sustainable materials; designing fabric wraps woven from used plastic bottles, and gift boxes handmade in mulberry papers. Each bottle is also made from recyclable plastic and their product packaging using 100% recycled, elemental chlorine free papers.
