Natural Non-Toxic Body Lotions For Your Softest Skin

If you’re looking for a natural non-toxic body lotion, welcome! I’ve hand-picked 25 of the best natural non-toxic body lotions. These lotions will cherish your dry skin with melting textures and delicious scents, leaving you with your softest skin yet. So what do we mean when we say “non-toxic”? I’m talking about controversial ingredients. There are some ingredients that I personally avoid in my body lotion because there’s controversy over their safety. Because, there are plenty of safer alternatives to choose from. There are some I avoid because I prefer natural over synthetic ingredients. These are the personal preferences I’ve formed in nearly 8 years as a skin care blogger. Mineral oil and petroleum jelly are a great example. However, I’ll let you into a secret. Personally, the term non-toxic irks me. It sounds counter intuitive, but just because an ingredient in a product is “toxic” doesn’t mean that it…

April 2020 natural beauty empties – samples galore!

Welcome back, beauty friend! And welcome to my April 2020 natural beauty empties. April was a great month for empties! I had chance to use up many more products because my husband is working from home and I have a little bit more time in the morning. Coronavirus lockdown – there are some benefits. Not only that, but I’ve been shopping my stash every week. This month I wanted to focus on using up my sample collection. The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of these little sachets coming in. Sample sachets are a terrible waste of packaging – there are better ways to get samples! So, future thinking applied. But a lot of my samples were running out of date, and I didn’t want to waste them. So I’ve been living like I’m on holiday, with lots of variety – it’s been fun! I also have lots of…

October 2018 natural beauty empties

October, how excited I am to see the end of you! This is a particularly poignant empties post for me, as it will be the last before our new baby is born. Expect to find some quite everyday items this month, like natural deodorant, cleansing milk, and oil-free night serum, along with Jonah’s empties – bubble bath, toothpaste, and nappy cream. Naturally, I’ve recycled and reused my packaging. I hope you like my October 2018 natural beauty empties! Full-size natural beauty products Disclosure: this post contains references to PR gifted products and products I’ve chosen with my credits as a LoveLula Accredited Blogger. My views are honest and my own. Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant I keep meaning to review Weleda Pomegranate Deodorant – twice it’s appeared in my empties before I’ve even had chance to review it. This is a really effective and refreshing deodorant. It smells gorgeous, dries quickly, and…

Why I use oil-free night serums

This post is all about the ritual of oil-free night care – why you might want to try going oil-free at night, the benefits to your skin, how to do it, and my pick of wonderful oil-free night serums. By oil-free I mean serums containing no or very low amounts of oil. No base or carrier oils, just small amounts of beneficial essential oils. It’s a little unusual as a beauty blogger to avoid all the lovely oil-based night creams and serums on offer. But it’s something I’ve done for about 10 years, and I feel my skin benefits. Maybe it’s for you, too? It was Dr. Hauschka that inspired me to switch to oil-free skincare at night. Just read this quote from Annette Greco, Head of Galenic Development at Dr. Hauschka, on nighttime with Dr. Hauschka skincare. During the day, your skin can use the protection and nourishment offered by…

Natural alternatives to MAC Vegas Volt Lipstick

I’m so excited to share this post about natural alternatives to MAC Vegas Volt Lipstick! It’s the first I’ve planned in a series where I’ll be replacing some of my less than healthy skincare and beauty with healthier alternatives. And if you’re looking for a roundup of 6 gorgeous coral hued lipsticks for spring, you’re in the right place! Let’s rewind to 2015, when we were planning our wedding. Our theme was orange floral, and my makeup matched the theme. My makeup artist chose MAC Vegas Volt Matte Lipstick for my lips. Have you used it before? It’s a shocking coral that I never would’ve picked myself, but when she tried it on me, I loved it. Reader, I confess. I fell off the natural beauty wagon when we got married. It was like I forgot why I’m so careful about what I use. There was also a craving to…

LoveLula December 2017 Beauty Box review

I’m new to beauty subscription boxes – the LoveLula December 2017 Beauty Box is my first ever beauty box review. I was so excited to receive my box, and even more excited to share it with you! This gorgeous beauty box contains 8 natural beauty products and 3 full-sized products. The total value of the beauty box is £58, yet it costs just £13.95 as a subscriber. Disclosure: I received this box to review by LoveLula, but all my opinions are honest and my own. What’s in the LoveLula December 2017 Beauty Box? Mádara SOS Instant Moisture + Radiance Hydra Mask This gorgeous face mask from Latvian skincare company Mádara is ideal for harsh December weather. It’s an intensive treatment mask that wipes off, or is left on. I’ve also found it to be a very good winter barrier cream. This mask is great if you’re a busy mama who…
