EDITOR’S CHOICE

Melissa Corkhill picks her favourite products

1 BAREFOOT BOTANICALS Rose Fina Anti-Aging Cream, £23.95, barefoot-botanicals. com “I absolutely love this cream for its firming, smoothing, nourishing properties. Packed with therapeutic organic ingredients, the Rosa Fina range at Barefoot has an amazing effect on my skin.”

2ORGANIC BOTANICS Pink Lotus and Jasmine Elixir, £15.95, organicbotanics. com “Everything created by Organic Botanics is incredible but if I had to choose just one item it would be this elixir. It smells heavenly and works a treat at smoothing fine lines and plumping skin.”

3WELEDA Calendula Cream Bath, £7.50, weleda.co.uk “I have always chosen Weleda products for my children because I know that I can trust them. The products are all free from any harmful ingredients and safe for my daughters’ skin. This cream bath is a real family favourite.”

4EARTH FRIENDLY BABY Natural Massage Oil, £4.08, healthquest.co.uk “This is a wonderfully gentle product, perfect for a bedtime massage, or for areas of dry skin. Made from just sunflower, sesame and vitamin E oils, combined with shea butter for a nourishing treat.”

5BALANCE ME Rose Otto Bodywash, £12.25, balanceme.co.uk “The bodywash at Balance Me smells like an English country garden in June – it is almost heady with the scent of roses and I love it. It’s been lovingly crafted in the UK and a little goes a long way so it lasts for ages.”

6OLEO BODYCARE Nettle and Rosemary Shampoo, £8.50, oleobodycare.co.uk “I love the deep clean feeling that using this shampoo has on my hair. It is made by a UK cottage industry and infused with gorgeous English botanicals such as nettle, rosemary and lavender.”

‘I choose organic, natural products for the health of my family’

7 LIVE NATIVE Crystal Deodorant, £13.80, livenative.co.uk “Live Native produce an incredible range of raw natural beauty products. I love everything that they make but this deodorant is particularly effective, combining organic and wild harvested ingredients with a subtle rose scent.”

8LIVING NATURE Radiance Night Oil, £44.45, livingnature.co.uk “I discovered facial oils several years ago and have become a real convert. This oil from Living Nature is particularly gorgeous leaving skin feeling rejuvenated and plumped after a night’s sleep.”

9SKIN BLOSSOM Handcream, £5.35, skinblossom.co.uk “Moisturising plant oils combine with protective shea butter to soothe hands. I love the smell and nourishing effect of this cream and like to have a tube tucked in my bag and by the bed for a nighttime treat.”

10INLIGHT Ecz-easy cream, £14, inlight-online.co.uk “My daughers and I are prone to small patches of eczema so I was keen to try out this cream by skincare specialists, Inlight. We were thrilled with the result. I also appreciate the advice on the packet that we need to address an internal imbalance.”

11GREEN PEOPLE Organic Children Shampoo, £10.20 greenpeople.co.uk “This is a gentle and effective shampoo from one of my favourite natural ranges. I know I can trust Green People products.”

12DR. HAUSCHKA Rose Day Cream, £23.95, drhauschka.co.uk “I find the rich soothing effects of this moisturiser extremely nourishing. It seems to smooth away fine lines and it also smells totally divine.”

13VITAL TOUCH Sea Salt Scrub, £12, vitaltouch.com “Each of the products at Vital Touch is handblended in Devon and the love that goes into the range is evident. This is incredible; creamy and yet mildly exfoliating at the same time. Gorgeous.”

14MY ONE GREEN BOTTLE Illuminating Serum, £16, myonegreenbottle.co.uk “I have just discovered this range and it’s love at first application. This serum smells exotic and exciting and the roller ball action makes for easy application. Skin felt and looked younger. Hurray!”

15GREEN GROCERY Love Letter Body Balm, £9.99, green-grocery.co.uk “This range is made about 30 miles down the road from our office and the short list of organic ingredients on the body balm is very reassuring. A beautiful luxurious treat for dry skin.”

16HANDMADE NATURALS Jojoba and Olive Conditioner, £7.35, handmadenaturals.co.uk “The smell of this rich nourishing conditioner is divine and each item in the range is guaranteed free from petrochemicals, parabens or synthetic perfume. Ingredients are clearly labeled and it’s made in the UK.”
