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…

Welcome back, my dear! In today’s post, I’d like to share some of the best baby skincare products for 2023. We all want only the best for our baby’s skin – but with so much choice and conflicting advice about what to use, how do we pick only the best baby skincare products? And more, how can we choose brands we can rely on because they’re so well loved by parents? In this post, I’ll reveal all. But first, do babies even need a skin care routine? Why your baby needs a skin care routine Your baby absolutely needs a skin care routine. `Even if the routine is as simple as bathing and protecting their skin with a simple emollient, if they need one. And if you’re outside in the cold and windy weather, and especially in winter, your baby will definitely need a little more care. Why? Baby skin…
Welcome back, skincare lover! Today’s share shines the spotlight, once again, on the wonderful Green People Nordic Roots line! And in this post I’m sharing my thoughts on two products – the juicy Apple Complex Moisturiser and the divine Marine Facial Oil. Back in September 2020, I tried this line for the first time when I reviewed the Hyaluronic Booster Serum, via the LoveLula Accredited Blogger scheme. It goes without saying I absolutely adore this serum and so I had high hopes for the rest of the line, too. I’ve been a huge fan of Green People for many years. They were one of the brands who inspired me to turn to cleaner beauty products. So I was delighted to hear from Green People, who asked if I’d like to try other products from the Nordic Roots range. What is Nordic Roots? This pared back, yet super effective skincare line…
Hi beauty lover! And welcome to my July 2022 natural beauty empties. Last month I said my empties posts would be no more – however, I’ve decided that since I have reviews to share with you next month, I will share one more empties post in between as usual. I’ll be back in October after taking a break to focus on my kids over summer and making lovely skincare myself in September! I have a small but beautiful collection of empties this month, and today I’m sharing some I’ve not yet shared on my blog. There’s a gorgeous aloe and lavender hyaluronic acid serum, a rose hand and nail balm, and a silky hair serum. I know you will love them! Shall we take a look? July 2022 natural beauty empties Monastery Aloe Hyaluronic Moisture Boost This gorgeous gel serum was so beloved before bedtime! Along with a massive moisture…
Welcome back, and thank you for taking a look at my June 2022 natural beauty empties. Well, it’s sad to say, but this might be the last of my empties posts for a while. I’m finding it hard to make time for my blog at the moment. I also want to focus on some new things in natural skincare, like formulating my own products for my kids. So do follow me over on Instagram to hear what I’m up to! I finished some cracking products this month, including a gorgeous concealer, refreshing cleansing gel, and a firming night balm. Shall we take a look at my empties? Let’s do it! June 2022 natural beauty empties RMS Beauty “Un” Cover-Up Concealer in 00 I absolutely love this concealer. I recently tried the foundation, too. It’s so well pigmented and long lasting. I really want to try more from RMS Beauty. RMS…
Hello again, my dear! And welcome to my April 2022 natural beauty empties. April sees a rainbow of empties from me! We’re in the final stages of buying a new house, and the moving fever is real! I’m trying to use up a lot of old products since the bathroom in our new house is actually smaller (and I’m trying not to worry about that too much). But, we’ll have a garden, so hooray for that! This month some of my empties highlights include hair gummies for longer, thicker hair, a luxurious facial serum, a nourishing yogi body oil, and more. Shall we learn more about these products? April 2022 natural beauty empties Hair Gain Hair Gummies The star product this month are these wonderful Hair Gain Gummies. My hair has grown so much since starting to use them in January. Take a look at my full review for all…
Welcome back, empties lover! And welcome to my February 2021 natural beauty empties. It’s that time of the month again where I share all the natural beauty products I used and loved! This month I finished up a well-loved grapefruit perfume that’s been in my collection for at least six years, a sumptuous radiance boosting face cream, multi-tasking facial oil, and much more. I hope you enjoy my February 2021 natural beauty empties! February 2021 natural beauty empties Love & Toast Sugar Grapefruit Perfume I’m not too sure about the green creds of this fragrance, although I’ve read that it’s organic and somewhat clean. But I loved it so much – it definitely deserves the top spot in my empties. Margot Elena creates such beautiful brands with artful designs that are easy to fall in love with. And it was certainly love between us, with the pretty design of the…
Welcome back, beauty lovers! I was so excited to learn about Green People’s new Nordic Roots range! And earlier this month I was lucky enough to receive a complimentary bottle of Green People Nordic Roots Hyaluronic Booster Serum to try. Clean, conscious Nordic skin care. Take pleasure from the beauty of nature with pure hard-working skin care from Nordic Roots. According to Green People, their new collection is “inspired by the Scandinavian love of purity, simplicity and functionality”, and “delivers powerful results with a simple and synergistic blend of clean, honest ingredients”. Just recently there has been a big interest in Nordic skincare. Perhaps it’s the simplicity and the minimalist attitude of Nordic countries that appeals. And there’s a certain potency to northern botanical ingredients. Enduring harsh winters means they’re extra potent. Often they’re from wild harvested from sustainable sources. Formulations are simpler and contain natural ingredients that work together…
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…
