No, I’m not defending myself against allegations of plastic surgery (I’m far too young for that – honest!).  But I felt the time had come for me to introduce you to what I think is a fab skin and hair care range: I am natural

I first came across them when an I am natural moisturiser and lip salve turned up in my stocking at Christmas, courtesy of my little sister.  I loved them and couldn’t wait to seek out more when I moved down to Brighton & Hove.

Lovingly handmade, these moisturisers, hand creams, deodorants, lip salves (and lots more) really are exactly what it says on the label: natural.  Unlike many other expensive creams that make such claims, these products have a sell by date and if you’ve been using it a bit too sparingly (as I did with my first pot) and don’t use by that date, it does start to grow mould – which I think is actually quite reassuring, testifying to the lack of chemical preservatives claim!

The products are made by Esther Cohen, a former IT Project Manager, who says:

“Over the years I became aware of what I put on my skin and hair and found it frustrating that so many companies were capitalising on the new organic market and selling outrageously expensive creams and lotions. Organic products shouldn’t be luxury items only to be bought at Christmas and birthdays.”

I couldn’t agree more, and my personal favourite, the avocado face cream, is only £3.29 for a 30ml pot! All the ingredients are clearly marked on the label and on the website.  There is even an A-Z of all the ingredients Esther uses and the majority, if not all, of the products are approved by The Vegan Society.

A regular at several local markets including the lovethatstuff Fair Trade Farmers Market on the third Saturday of each month, and at the Vegetarian Farmers Market in Hove, mentioned in my earlier post, on the first Sunday of each month, I am natural can also be found at The Old Post Office Market in Brighton from 11 – 5pm Wed – Fri, 10 – 6pm Sat and 12 – 5pm Sun.

If you aren’t in walking distance of Brighton beach, you can always order online – and being that time of year, I’d get your order in quickly for one of the beautiful (and very reasonably priced!) gift sets.

And last but not least, with my Ethical Weddings thinking cap on, what about throwing an I am natural party for your hen night – and getting £20 in vouchers for the privilege!

Take care,

Katie
