Swadeshi soaps including Rani Sandalwood receive veg society accreditation

Sri Lanka’s largest manufacturer and marketer of herbal personal care products for over 80 years, Swadeshi Industrial Works PLC brand products has received the Vegetarian Society accreditation for the adult and baby soap range as well as for its body wash and shower gel range. The company has several of its products licensed to carry the coveted trademark to show that they are officially approved as 100 per cent vegetarian by the Vegetarian Society of UK, the company said in a media release

The following products will now carry the Vegetarian Society (UK) approved trademark on the packs: Swadeshi Khomba Herbal, Swadeshi Khomba Clear Soap, Swadeshi Khomba Body Wash range, Rani Sandalwood, Rani Gel Bar, Rani Shower Cream range and Swadeshi Khomba Baby Soap.

“The Vegetarian Society inspires, informs and enables people to be vegetarian, and their vegetarian trademark certifies that a product is 100 per cent vegetarian. It involves requiring brand products to meet strict criteria, subjecting themselves to independent ingredient testing and production method checked by experts at the Vegetarian Society,” the release said.

Commenting on the accreditation, Ms. Chulodhara Samarasinghe, Managing Director/ Deputy- Chairperson, Swadeshi Industrial Works PLC said: “Swadeshi is very happy to get the prestigious Vegetarian Society Accreditation (UK) for its products. As a company, we always believe in making choices which are beneficial to the environment and all beings. All our skin care and cleansing products are based on ingredients which are ethically sourced and cause no harm to animals. We are also averse to animal testing and thus do not use any ingredient which has been tested on animals. The non-use of animal-based ingredients keeps the skin healthier and products with natural, vegetarian ingredients are milder, softer, and better absorbed by skin to maintain a healthy skin.”
