Unacceptable Ingredients
For Today's Health-Conscious and
Planet-Friendly Consumers
The folks behind Flyers for Buyers, Life of Riley and The Natural Consortium have been working in the natural product industry for many years and are passionate about promoting truly natural products for the health-conscious and planet-friendly consumers of today – and tomorrow.
In keeping with these core values, we will not promote products or services that may be harmful to people or planet – or companies that engage in the unethical treatment of animals.
What is Natural?
There are many opinions regarding what is and is not a truly natural product. Certain ingredients – including hydrogenated oils, harmful preservatives, artificial flavors, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners and parabens – are deal breakers for us. We adhere to these natural standards so that you can feel confident about the brands that you find on Flyers for Buyers.
Below is a list of unacceptable ingredients. If you are using any of these ingredients in your products, we will not be able to accept your brand’s subscription to Flyers for Buyers. We also do not promote animal meats, alcohol or tobacco / smoking products. If you are in the process of removing questionable ingredients from your brand, or are planning to do so, please feel free to reach out to us by phone or email to discuss how we may be able to help you.
