Story
In 2017 we started a joint venture that aimed to offer natural alternatives to everyday cosmetic products with as minimal environmental impact as possible.
We discovered that along with all the unscrupulous chemicals that regularly popped up in the ingredients, palm oil was also a commonplace component. Although palm oil is natural, the way it is cultivated is definitely not...and it's a big problem. It features in over half of everything you will find in the supermarket from biscuits to body lotions and it has a dark side - the production of unsustainable palm oil is the biggest threat to the survival of the critically endangered orangutan.
This gave our ambitions focus and 'Orangutan Style' was born. Rather than just focusing on natural products, we wanted to create a business that would part of the solution to the ongoing threat that the palm oil industry poses to our inspirational red apes.
As part of the launch of our brand, we wanted to raise money and awareness for the plight of the orangutans and the amazing work being done by the Orangutan Foundation. We will be cycling 340 miles come rain or shine (hopefully shine!!) from London to Landsend.
We will be updating this page on the build-up to the ride, to keep you informed on our progress. It's going to be tough, and we appreciate your support along the way. We have set a modest target of £500 but it would amazing to raise even more :)
Thanks for supporting us,
Will and Olly
