We are in the depths of winter, and as I write, we have hit what I think is the coldest spell of the season so far.

Skincare is important all year round, but in the winter the challenges facing our skin are more pronounced. The cold and the winds wreak havoc and if you are not careful, you can end up with dry cracked skin. To combat the effects of the weather, we have formulated our lovely hand and lip balms.

Our Hand Treat is a lovely absorbant balm which is good for any dry patches in need of some help. It contains Rice Bran Oil, which is quite a "dry" oil packed with anti-oxidents, and is perfect for sensitive or dry skin. We have also used Avocado Butter, which is one of our favourites. It has a high percentage of vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F & H and has fantastic moisturising proterties. It comes in three beautiful fragrances, Frankincense, Geranium and Lavender and Clary Sage.

To keep your lips soft and kissable, our Chocolate Lip Balm is perfect. The olive wax provides a barrier to the elements, while the Organic, Unrefined Cocoa butter not only has a gorgeous chocolate scent, but contains antioxidents and has been known to heal and moisturise the skin. We have also used Organic, Virgin Coconut Oil which is a natural emolient, which also have antiseptic and antibacterial properties, and if that is not enough it smells beautiful of coconut.
