OV Naturals

love this pure natural and ethical skincare and beauty made in UK by Orchard View OV Naturals using pure essential oils and natural botanical ingredients #ethicalbeauty #naturalbeauty #natural #skincare #frombritainwithlove

Based in rural Somerset, Orchard View Naturals is a range of ethical, natural skincare and perfume developed by professional aromatherapist and holistic facialist Lucy Stevens. Shortly after Lucy chose to list OV Naturals in our directory, I received a couple of the products for me to try – Facial moisturiser and Vital triple rose botanical facial oil.

I’d already seen this little video explaining how to add facial oil to your usual moisturiser, so I gave it a go.

love this pure natural and ethical skincare and beauty made in UK by Orchard View OV Naturals using pure essential oils and natural botanical ingredients #ethicalbeauty #naturalbeauty #natural #skincare #frombritainwithlove

Game changer. Why have I never thought of this before? The moisturiser itself is wonderfully rich, natural and smoothes on really easily. Adding a couple of drops of the facial oil gave a heady rose fragrance and extra richness. My skin feels very happy after just a couple of days. I’m so glad to have discovered this highly affordable natural skincare (the moisturiser is £15 and the triple rose botanical facial oil costs from £16 and a little goes a long way, so both will last me for ages.)

I love this wonderful range of handmade organic and natural skincare and haircare. Formulated with cold pressed oils, high quality essential oils and made in small batches without the addition of chemicals, the Old Faithful range includes beard oil (below) and shaving products as well as unisex skin and hair care. I love the eco credentials of sharing one moisturiser rather than having to have ‘his’ and ‘hers’ when one will do the job beautifully.

And, as someone who spends quite a lot of time at craft workshops, this Maker’s Balm is an essential to care for over-worked creative hands. Combining moisturising and protective benefits of shea, mango and cocoa butters with healing carrot and macadamia oils, vetiver and patchouli, there’s also anti-septic beeswax for good measure. TLC in a pot and an essential for your own beauty kit if you’re a maker. It’s also the perfect gift for anyone of a crafty persuasion.

Wild Sage & Co

The lovely Naomi of These Two Hands (listed in our directory here) very kindly sent me a pot of this wonderful Argan Beauty Balm as a thank you gift recently. I can’t tell you just how divine it is. The natural fragrance is blissful and the balm itself glides onto your skin and makes it feel comforted and cared for. This is another hard-working multi-purpose product, which appeals to my zero waste sensibilities.

I also love Wild Sage & Co’s handmade natural soaps. Using a fragrant bar of traditional soap is so much nicer than plastic bottles of hand wash or shower gel. I haven’t allowed a plastic bottle anywhere near our bathroom for months now. It’s easier than I thought and I do get a lot of pleasure from looking at my vintage glass lidded jar filled with soaps.

Many moons ago I spent a year or so saving up to go travelling by working as Manageress at the Liverpool Culpeper the Herbalists. It was here that I learned about the magical power of herbs and aromatherapy. I even got to meet essential oil king Robert Tisserand himself. So, I love the herbalist values and expertise underpinning Wild Sage & Co.

This charcoal organic facial soap is wonderful on congested teenage skin. And I wouldn’t be without a good selection of quality, pure essential oils.

Try adding a few drops of lavender and orange or geranium oil added to basic Himalyan bath salts. I mix them together and keep beside the bath in a vintage glass lidded jar. Looks, feels and smells amazing but at a fraction of the cost.
