Welcome to my October 2019 natural beauty empties! It’s been an average month for empties this month. I’ve been busy testing all the beautiful lip balms for the Clean Beauty Awards 2019, which has been so much fun with a bit of testing routine thrown in. I’ll be posting my review of all the entrants in a separate post some time soon. There’s volumising shampoo, cream cleanser, hydrating face cream, body butter, pawpaw balm, green tea shower gel, plus 3 travel size products. Please feel free to ask me anything about the products, I’d love to hear from you. October 2019 natural beauty empties Rahua Voluminous Conditioner I reviewed this luxury Rahua Voluminous conditioner a few months ago. I enjoyed it to the last drop. It does a good job at moisturising hair without weighing it down. Rahua Voluminous Conditioner Buy Now – £36 at Naturisimo Botanicals Nourish Cream Cleanser…

Natural hairsprays are the answer to those looking to lead a cleaner lifestyle. We all know that hairspray is a must to set your style, increase its longevity, and control stray hairs. But many conventional hairsprays contain less than desirable ingredients for those trying to live a cleaner life. Read on to learn why natural hairspray is a better choice for you, your children and the environment, plus my top picks of natural hairsprays to choose from. Why you should choose natural hairsprays Most hairsprays add volume and texture and help to give your hair a finished look and feel. But the biggest concern with some conventional hairspray should be the safety warning it comes with, including irritation to skin and eyes, and drowsiness. Synthetic fragrance could also cause concern because its formula need not be disclosed by the manufacturer. Many natural hairsprays use naturally-derived fragrance. In some natural hairsprays…
I’m a big fan of German brand Eco Cosmetics. One of the first products I tried of theirs was Eco Cosmetics Conditioner, which I bought alongside their moisturising shampoo. What’s great about this brand is that it has so much to offer at a great price. All Eco Cosmetics products are certified organic and vegan, and the brand is totally cruelty free. All their products are made with well water, which makes them more sustainable. My first impression of the Eco Cosmetics range is that the packaging is a little clinical for a green brand. The bottles in the range look very similar. This brand really doesn’t shout about its credentials and benefits – and it should! It’s a good brand, with effective and value for money natural products. So let’s look at Eco Cosmetics Conditioner. Eco Cosmetics Conditioner The standout advantage of this conditioner is the natural ingredients it contains.…
Eco Cosmetics Moisturising Shampoo is an effective and value for money organic shampoo. It contains some wonderful plant-based ingredients to treat dry hair. I find it quite amazing that Eco Cosmetics can offer an Ecocert certified shampoo at a very reasonable price! Eco Cosmetics claim the shampoo strengthens and protects the hair, and works well for sensitive scalps. This makes it ideal for those with scalp psoriasis like myself. I’ve had no irritation or discomfort from this shampoo. It cleans as well as a sulfate based shampoo, without any of the harshness. Not much of this clear-gel shampoo is needed to create a really good lather, and it cleans squeaky clean. It has a zingy green tea fragrance which is very refreshing. There’s also a conditioner that goes with it. Let’s take a look at the ingredients. Eco Cosmetics Moisturising Shampoo ingredients Aqua, Olea Europaea Leaf Extract, Coco Glucoside, Lauryl…
Eco Cosmetics Green Tea and Pomegranate Shower Gel is a good value for money natural shower gel. I’m currently using my second bottle of this organic shower gel, because I really like it. Why? It’s Ecocert certified organic, costs under £5, cleans gently without drying, and contains lovely botanical ingredients. I’ve never heard German natural cosmetics company Eco Cosmetics mentioned by other natural beauty bloggers. That’s a shame, because they have some really nice products which are all certified organic, vegan, and cruelty free. Unusually, their products are formulated with well water opposed to tap water, which helps with sustainability. The packaging is made from recycled materials. In my opinion, the design of the shower gel’s packaging doesn’t do it justice. From a quick glance, I can hardly tell it contains such beneficial ingredients. The scent is a citrus, green tea type fragrance which is very refreshing in a shower…
