We're celebrating 🎉Brilliant news to have won a Finalist award for our Amyris and Calendula Body Cream in the Beauty Shortlist Awards 2026 - BEST BODY CREAM category.

I personally think that the body cream is fantastic, and our customers say it is fantastic, so we’re thrilled to have been recognised in these awards, which spotlight and support stand-out natural, ethical and sustainable brands.

Our body cream is packed with organic oils, calendula, amyris, rose geranium and lavender to moisturise skin all over the body - particularly suited to dry, mature and sensitive skin. We love calendula and it is a key ingredient across our Body, Hand and Foot Cream range. It is well known for its wonderfully soothing, calming and anti-inflammatory properties.

Thank you Beauty Shortlist Awards!

Feel the benefits of double cleansing! A skincare refresh for the New Year.
In the first step, an oil-based cleanser removes makeup, and in the second step, a cream-based cleanser deep cleanses your skin - removing dead skin cells and drawing out impurities from pores.

Step one
Take a scoop of Radiance Face Balm, soften it between your fingers and then apply to the skin using gentle circular movements, getting the balm into all the parts of your face and décolletage. Using your cloth with warm water (our organic muslin squares or organic unbleached cotton cloths are ideal), remove the product from your face.

Step two
Take a pump or two of our Petitgrain & Everlasting Flower Cream Cleanser and apply to the skin, using gentle circular movements, into all the parts of your face and décolletage. Using your cloth with warm water, remove the product from your face.

Avoid very hot and very cold water.

Use a muslin or organic cotton square for gentle exfoliation and product removal. These can be washed and reused many times over.

Follow up with a plant-based moisturiser - in the form of a face cream or a face oil. Shop to suit your skin type.
