ANCIENT WISDOM MEETS MODERN SCIENCE
Plants have been used for millenia for their healing properties. Humans have observed how animals select plants to self-medicate, and now scientists are finding out some of the remarkable properties essential oils have. Hedgewitch combines this new and traditional knowledge to formulate products that work. As we use plant oils therapeutically, we rigorously source for quality.
our aim is to improve animals lives
Our Ethos
We're passionate about empowering you to help the animals in your care.
We're specialists in the therapeutic use of plant and essential oils. We only use the highest quality plant oils that animals often select for self-medication to produce unique formulations based on animal behaviour and peer-reviewed scientific research.
We are transparent about our ingredients because we believe you should always know exactly what's in the bottle. What's more, to be good enough for your animals, it should be good enough for you.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to
Our planet is important to us
What are we doing to be more sustainable?
That's why we're continuously working on improving our sustainability. We source our ingredients carefully, with many of our essential oils distilled and grown in the UK. We also source zero-waste oils where possible, such as grapeseed oil. This is cold-pressed from grape seeds, a byproduct of the wine industry.
Our packaging is all recyclable, with dissolvable packing beans made from potato starch or Kraft paper packaging and natural gum adhesive on the paper packaging tape keeping your parcel secure.
Our plastic is recyclable and contains recycled content. All of our shampoo, body wash and small 150ml bottles are bioplastic, made using waste from sugarcane.
