Spotlight Oral Care @spotlight_oral_care
Spotlight’s range of oral care products are Vegan-Friendly, Cruelty-Free and Free From Triclosan, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, and Parabens. There are very few products that are widely available that don’t contain these harmful ingredients so they want to increase awareness and provide a safe and effective range of products that people can trust in and use in the comfort of their own home. The three pillars which guide Spotlight are that their products are 100% recyclable, ocean safe and vegan-friendly.
