There are plenty of articles touting the amazing achievement of the Fairtrade coffee industry. Of course that is as it should be, considering the world wide love affair with coffee beans. However, as of this year there is a new addition to the Fairtrade community, that being Fairtrade beauty products. So, it looks like the expansion will gain the attention of even more consumers far and wide.

It seems as though this jump was a likely choice for the foundations lengthy list of commodities. Considering that there were over 700 Fairtrade retail and catering products available in the UK alone as of 2005, which was dramatically up from 150 in 2003, growth was expected. Then by 2006 there were over 1,500 Fairtrade retail and catering products available in the UK. It appears that there is just no stopping this powerhouse venture, and that is a good thing.
