My customers complain that as they get older, their skin changes.  Often increasingly dry, the texture changes, and with hormonal changes during the menopause it can be prone to break outs also.

I wanted to create something to intensely hydrate the skin, but without any heavy, greasy feeling.  This soft buttery balm leaves a velvety feel on the skin, it imparts moisture and it has the most beautiful floral scent.  

It's quick to apply, with the beautiful essential oils it elevates your skin care routine an act of self love, and most importantly, it works.  

Some balms feel heavy on the skin, and leave you feeling greasy.  Not this!  Intensive Balm with Marshmallow & Frangipani hydrates, softens and leaves your skin feeling more comfortable.  It is fast absorbing and hydrating.  It has a light velvety texture and a beautiful skin feel.  It uses a concentrated formula which means only the tiniest amount is needed.  

It makes a great day moisturiser for all skin types, including dry skin, just couple it with your favourite SPF.  It makes a beautiful night cream or mask treatment.  You choose the routine that works for you.

This is my most loved balm, and the winner of 11 awards.

☘️ Beautifully soft, hydrated, smoother skin without leaving you oily.  

☘️ Banishes, dry, flaky patches on your face.  

☘️ Brightens dull skin, especially that grey-ness that can creep in as we get older.

☘️ Comfortable, radiant skin.

I hand pick the most beautiful ingredients to go into my Intensive Balm.  

These are not the latest 'must have' ingredients based on some celebrity fuelled craziness.  Instead these are my favourite plant power -house ingredients that will comfort and nurture your skin.

All my magic plant oils combine occlusive and emollient properties.    That means skin softening, nourished, comfortable skin while helping to reduce transepidermal water loss.  (TEWL).   What you end up with is water trapped against your skin and smooth, elastic feeling, comfortable skin

My ingredients include:

Amaranth Seed Oil C02 Extract - I include this powerful C02 botanical extract because is great for supporting smooth and hydrated skin, and added bonus, it calms irritated, itchy skin.

Argan Oil - My pure, cold pressed Argan Oil is rich in inflammation busting essential fatty acids and is suitable for both dry and oily, skin types.  

Beeswax - Providing both emollient and occlusive properties, this natural wax is nourishing, protecting and  anti-bacterial.

Calendula C02 Extract  - Healing and anti-inflammatory, one of nature's best healing ingredients.  Skin protecting and soothing, especially on skin that is irritated.

Camellia Oil - A light feeling, easily absorbed plant oil,  which is a superb moisturiser.  I include it for its moisturising and repairing properties, and because it is well tolerated amongst my customers with sensitive skin.  

Chamomile,  Blue - This beautiful blue essential oil distilled from chamomile flowers, and I have added tiny amounts here because it contains Bisabol and Chamazulene which help with irritated, sensitive skin.

Coconut Oil in the right proportions provides antioxidant  and anti-inflammatory properties to the skin.

Frangipani Flower Extract - the extract from the frangipani or plumeria flower provides a beautifully uplifting and relaxing scent.

 Jojoba  - One of my favourites - a skin softening, easily absorbed, light oil, very similar to the sebum found in our own skin.  Suitable for all skin types, including problem, oily and combination skins.

Marshmallow Root Oil - This is all about more hydrated skin, and my customers love it.  My oil is made with the roots of the Marshmallow plant macerated in Sunflower Oil,  A deeply hydrating oil that helps maintain the hyaluronic acid levels in the skin, while soothing and calming itchy, irritated skin.

Shea Butter - this butter from the nut of the African Mangifolia tree contains allantoin, a powerful occlusive agent.  My customers love the deep hydration this butter brings.  Shea Butter can be irritating to skin in large quantities; I use just enough to strike that balance between  moisture and being well tolerated by my customers with sensitive skin.

Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract  - this little beauty is all all about more moisturising, softening and firming.  An extract from the buds of the flower.

This is my most loved balm, but don't take my word for it!  It has received heaps of awards:

I got so fed up with the beauty offerings available to women over 40. The negativity about getting older, the made up science words, a 20 step face skin routine which no woman in the real world has time to follow, or the latest and greatest crazy ingredient that offers to change our life – (sorry it does not exist!)

So I decided to create my own range of award winning products for women like you and I.  British made, sustainable, clean, and organic, designed to deliver amazing skin and an experience that spoils and pampers and leaves us feeling good.  

Instead of not good enough.  

Or trying to live up to society's unrealistic expectations of what we should look like.

I want you to feel comfortable in your skin.   I want to remove the overwhelm and complexity that is everywhere in the industry and provide you with beauty that works. 

Less about 10 years younger, more about 10 years fabulous. Irrespective of age.
