Wood & Leather Polish
A two-in-one wood and leather furniture polish
Vinegar and vodka cut through grease and grime as well as disinfect. Olive and almond oils protect and shine. Lemon juice lifts stains and restores. Glycerin shimmers. Known as the ‘Tree of Life’, Arborvitae essential oil preserves and purifies. Lemon essential oil cleanses and invigorates. And the almond fragrance makes it smell lush
Kitchen & Bathroom Cleaner
A cheap and natural way to clean your home
Easy to make, this potent cleaner cuts through stubborn dirt. The herbs and fruits are known for their naturally disinfecting, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Specially chosen aromatherapy oils add power to the punch
Toothpaste
A healthy, natural alternative to chemical-ridden tubes
A host of ingredients provide calcium, fight plaque, prevent cavaties, harden tooth enamel, whiten teeth, fight gum disease and freshen breath with properties that are antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial. Essential oils have been chosen due to their beneficial effects on teeth, mouth, gums and breath
Facial Cleanser
A daily cleansing facial scrub to remove dirt naturally
With oats, almonds and cacao to moisturise, nourish and reduce redness, flaxseeds and bee pollen to help keep the skin firm and elastic and Rhassoul clay to remove impurities, this facial scrub is tough enough to get rid of dirt, yet soft enough to use every day, even on the most sensitive skin types
Body Scrub
A rich and indulgent all-natural, all-body scrub
I recycle my morning cup of coffee for this one, which exfoliates, increases blood flow and balances the skin’s PH levels. Sugar helps to maintain the skin’s equilibrium and makes it glow. Himalayan Salt plumps up the skin and prevents dryness. The oils and soap blend it all together to create a scrub of nourishing sweetness
Body Moisturiser
An all-over body moisturiser to pamper every skin type
This ultra-moisturising body lotion is thick and rich, requiring less yet giving more than shop-bought moisturisers. All the natural ingredients last for a long time too, so it keeps well. Use different Essential Oils according to your mood or the season - lemon provides a zing on a summer’s morning, black pepper and bergamot warm on a winter’s evening
Body Oil
A highly moisturiser body oil to lavish your skin
Carefully selected oils and Essential Oils lock-in moisture to create soft and supple skin that glows for days. Apply to slightly damp skin to get the best effect. Find your favourite blends or switch up the smells for a day-time / night-time range
Face Oil
A face oil thats deeply nourishing whilst kind to sensitive skin
This rich and indulgent facial oil works overnight to moisturise, repair and restore. Get rid of dry patches without creating greasy skin. This is natural skin care at its best!
