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…

October 2020 natural beauty empties

Welcome back, my empties lover – and happy Halloween to you! It’s time for my October 2020 natural beauty empties. I love October because so many exciting things happen in nature – it is a time of shedding the old to make way for the new. My skincare too, changes with the season. I use a more deeply hydrating moisturiser, and pull out my cosiest of balms. You will find this reflected in my empties. There’s a beautiful natural deodorant – my favourite yet in fact, a deeply hydrating night cream, nourishing moringa cleansing oil, SPF20 day cream, and more. For little people, there’s fun throwable hand and face foam, and a sleepy time foot oil for bedtime relaxation. Fall in love with my October empties!

Latest Lavera skincare loves

Welcome back, beauties! Today it’s time to share my current loves from a long-time favourite natural beauty brand. Hello, Lavera skincare! Lavera is one of the first natural beauty brands I tried. I return to Lavera skincare again and again for certified organic products that are such great value for money! One of my favourite things about Lavera is that all their beauty products are certified organic by NaTrue. Everything is 100% natural and organic, and nothing is tested on animals. You won’t find any parabens, SLS, phthalates, mineral oils, or petrochemicals in Lavera beauty! The brand was founded by Thomas Haase in 1987. In founding Lavera, he discovered his lifelong dream of organic and natural beauty care for all. To me, nature is the only true way to beauty care. For me, lavera stands for true, natural beauty care – pure nature – my concept for beautiful skin. Thomas…

Welcome to my February 2020 natural beauty empties! I’m late posting my used up products again and while I don’t have many empties for February, they’re all natural beauty products I’ve really enjoyed using.

July 2019 natural beauty empties

It’s time for my July 2019 natural beauty empties! I do love sharing my empties. There’s something so satisfying about finishing a natural beauty product to the last drop. I love recapping it all, and I hope you might find something you like amongst the treasure trove of items. I’ve used up quite a few products this month. I had a huge sort out of my stash which was very rewarding. We also bought new bathroom storage, which prompted a resurfacing of some close-to-empty products to finish up. My favourite product this month is a special skin treatment called bakuchiol. It’s an amazing replacement for retinol that’s safer for mamas who are pregnant or breastfeeding. There’s also a luscious balm, rose water, adult and kids toothpaste, epsom salts, face mask powder, body lotion, and face cream and mineral powder samples. I hope you enjoy my empties, and if you have…
