Zing Strengths We were excited to be chosen in 2018 by the Marketing Department at Strathclyde University in Glasgow to have a team of their international marketing undergraduates devise a comprehensive new marketing strategy for us. We'd been introduced to the Marketing Department by the Chemistry Clinic at Strathclyde University who carry out extensive purity testing on our behalf. In their audit the Marketing Works team headed by Dr Anthea Mendes highlighted one of the key Zing Organics' strengths as product quality. They noted a complete absence of negative comments or bad reactions or allergies to the products,...
Sustainable Seaweed Extracts - but they're not Scottish!
Posted by Kirsty Morrison on

Based on the Idyllic Pristine West Coast of Scotland, you might expect us to use local seaweed extracts in our products. However there are few reasons why at Zing Organics we use non indigenous seaweed extracts in our Eco Marine Algae Facial Cleansing Masque. Just because you use seaweed in a skincare product doesn't mean it necessarily offers any particular skincare benefits. We wanted to use an extract with significant PROVEN collagen boosting function. Developing a ingredient like this is a specialist field which is highly regulated, and way beyond the capabilities and the budget of a small artisan skincare brand....

Independent Purity Testing - Chemistry Clinic - Strathclyde University. We initially approached Interface who are the body that link up companies in Scotland with academia in a collaborative project. We wanted to in fact develop at that stage an asthma free candle knowing we're using the purest of ingredients. We learned from the responses that was a little naive as there are so many factors that trigger asthma. However one Department did take the time to arrange to speak to us to see if they could help in another way. I received a phone call from Dr John Liggat (pictured)...
