What Wen is doing
health and harmful chemicals
Wen has created briefing documents and workshops covering health and harmful chemicals to help you make more informed decisions. Our motto is “if you can’t eat it, don’t rub it on your face”, which is why we encourage people to have a go at making their own natural and sustainable alternatives.
