After years of searching for the right product, ANGELA S. and
LYNN Y. finally found a green business venture that appealed to
their shared passion for ecological conservation.
How did the two of you meet?
We worked together for about ten years at the same bank, so we
already knew each other very well by the time we decided to set
up a business together as the Alps Group.
Why this particular product?
We’d been looking for ages for the right business
venture to commit to. When we saw the opportunity
to be the distributors of CloverSoft toilet and
tissue papers, we knew we’d found our
first product. It’s made from 100 percent
sustainable, organic bamboo pulp, so
it’s kind to the environment as well as
to the skin.
What’s wrong with the bog-
standard option?

recently, not even
scientists realised
quite how permeable
our skin is and how
readily it absorbs all
sorts of substances,
including chemicals,
synthetic fragrances
and other toxins.
