Great for presents for others (and yourself!) - Edit
A lot of the products are made on the premises by the owner. She is very ethical and makes products she truly believes in, rather than many questionable businesses that are trying to surf the 'greenwash' wave. This is my favourite shop in Bris and I love to take visitors there who are looking for pressies for people back home. It is a beautiful shop to visit and the staff are well informed and friendly.
The other nice thing is that the products are really good value...less expensive than the chemical concoctions sold by The Body Shop (now owned by L'Oreal who have been rumoured to be one of the larger animal testers in the industry). I won't even start on the other potions and lotions in your average department store...
I get bulk stuff there to make my own things, as well as coconut oil for cooking, soap (by the kg then slice off as needed), lip balm, hair wax, moisturiser and rose hip oil, small jars etc
To me, this store deserves 6 cows!
(Note: There is beeswax in some products but most are vegan) You can also order over the internet and the postage looks reasonable.

Pros: quality&range, unique&local, value
Cons: parking-there is some space at the back, ...or you could ride/walk!
