The post Tisserand Bath & Body Collection offers affordable everyday indulgence appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

Heritage essential oils brand Tisserand Aromatherapy has launched a new 100% naturally fragranced Bath & Body Collection.

The comprehensive collection – featuring body washes, bath soaks, hand washes, hand creams, soaps and deodorants – has been created by blending finest quality essential oils and botanical extracts, and aims to offer an everyday, affordable indulgence to all.

The new collection uses three specially created fragrances – romantic Lavender & White Mint, exotic Neroli & Sandalwood and classically English Rose & Geranium Leaf. Only organic, ethically-harvested or wild-crafted essential oils are used, whilst the 99% natural base combines superior botanical extracts, such as pomegranate, rosemary leaf, ginseng root and calendula flower, with nature’s finest skin-soothers and softeners, including aloe vera, shea butter, chamomile, evening primrose oil and Jojoba oil.

Inspired by Tisserand Aromatherapy’s award-winning Signature Blend Hand Cream, the Neroli & Sandalwood range is exotic, fresh and uplifting. Bergamot and Ylang Ylang top notes are complemented with base notes of rich Sandalwood, Patchouli and Ho Wood Leaf. Middle notes of Geranium and Lavender create a distinctive and unforgettable fragrance that will appeal to all ages and tastes.

Rose & Geranium captures the floral decadence of 100% natural French Rose and enhances it with top notes of Sweet Orange and refreshing Bergamot. Base notes of Ho Wood Leaf and Patchouli add an intensity, whilst Geranium and Petitgrain middle notes leave a soft bloom that lingers on the skin.

This light and calming fragrance of Lavender & White Mint brings the unmissable characteristic of Lavender and beautifully balances it with refreshing White Mint to create an effortless scent that will charm the senses. Middle notes of Geranium Leaf and Lavandin, a hybrid of two different Lavender species, is blended with gentle Rose Absolute for a fresh floral aroma.

The post Botanicals expands customer choice appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

Botanicals Natural Organic Skincare has launched three new Rose & Geranium organic bodycare products, increasing its existing Soil Association-certified range in a bid to increase customer choice.

A new body polish, body lotion, and hand lotion have been added to the existing Rose & Geranium range, which is formulated using 100 per cent natural products, and is designed to “produce clearly visible improvements in the look and feel of the skin”.

“Different Botanicals formulations provide different benefits for skin but also stimulate the senses differently,” explains Wendy Stirling, founder of Botanicals. “Reactions to aromas can also vary from person-to-person. We’ve therefore expanded the Rose & Geranium bodycare range to provide our customers with more choice.”

From the company’s base in rural Leicestershire, Botanicals researches, formulates and hand makes a full range of totally natural and organic skincare products for the face and body targeting varying skin types. All products are made fresh, in small batches, to preserve their active botanical properties with the company’s processing methods, ensuring the active plant ingredients aren’t destroyed by heating or over-processing.

The post Botanicals reports record sales appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

Natural organic skincare brand, Botanicals, has announced it experienced record sales in 2015 with a 50% increase on the previous year, and retail figures up by some 75 per cent, and trade figures up by 40%.

Founded by Wendy Stirling in 2004, Botanicals products adhere to strict ethical standards and are certified by the Soil Association.

Stirling comments: “The Botanicals ethos of producing natural skincare products, using organic ingredients and processing methods that ensure the vital life-force of the plant isn’t destroyed – coupled with the fact that the entire Botanicals range is accredited by the Soil Association – has always put us in good stead. However, such a year-on-year increase in sales is unprecedented for Botanicals and must, in part, be due to growing interest in natural, organic beauty in the UK.”

According to the Soil Association’s 2015 Organic Market Report, sales of its certified organic beauty products jumped 20% in 2014, to reach just over £44 million.

The post US bans plastic microbeads in personal care products appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

The US House of Representatives has approved a bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of personal care products that contain plastic microbeads, which are known to have a significant negative impact on the environment.

President Obama signed into US law the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015 on 28 December after a series of studies showed that trillions of the miniscule plastic particles were flowing into bodies of water across the United States.

The bill introducing the new law was co-sponsored by both Republican and Democrat representatives and will come into effect in July 2017.

Commenting on the move, Kim Allan of Botanical Brands, said: “We have supported the Beat The Bead campaign for a number of years now and welcome this move by the US Government to ban the use of plastic microbeads in skincare and personal care products. This is a global concern, which will ultimately have an impact on the UK cosmetics industry. Many companies already produce skincare products without the use of plastic microbeads, showing that natural alternatives are not only available but effective too.

“As a supplier of eco, natural and organic beauty brands from around the world, we have actively campaigned for this cause and ensured that the facial exfoliation products in the Living Nature and Botanicals ranges are listed on The Good Scrub Guide. This useful guide is an excellent resource for any professionals or consumers seeking exfoliation products free-from plastic microbeads.”

The post Therapeutics range blends science with organics appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

The just-launched Therapeutics skin, hair and bodycare range from Essentially Yours has been created by dermatologist John Hamilton to offer a comprehensive, all-natural yet scientifically-based solution to problem skin.

Combining breakthrough research with pure, organic ingredients, Therapeutics is based on naturopathic rather than chemically-derived formulas which aim to address individual skin concerns such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea, spots and acne as well as general sensitivity.

Therapeutics combines 100% botanical plant ingredients, essential and vital oils containing vitamins, proteins and minerals designed to feed skin cells and make them stronger and healthier.

“Many people have been to the doctor, the hospital, had treatments, used every product under the sun, but are still having problems. In fact, often their condition is getting worse. The very sad fact is that they are continuing to slather their skin with products full of chemicals on a daily basis. And this is 90% of their problem,” comments Hamilton. “It’s not just about using natural ingredients, it’s also about how you use those ingredients and the way they are formulated together.”

The new offer is divided into three problem areas: products for eczema, psoriasis & dermatitis include Body Wash, Moisturizing Cream and Sensitive Skin Hand Wash; rosacea is targeted with formulas including Orange & Angelica Face Wash, Avocado & Orange Moisturizer as well as a Full Rosacea Kit; and acne/spots are given the full treatment with Face Wash Anti-bacterial, Serum and the Kill ‘Em Dead Spot Kit.

The post Botanicals enhances formulations to meet COSMOS standards appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

Award-winning natural and organic skincare company Botanicals has enhanced its products to conform with the new European Organic Standard COSMOS.

COSMOS will come into effect after 31 December 2016 and bring together several European standards – BDIH (Germany), Cosmebio (France), Ecocert Greenlife (France), ICEA (Italy) and Soil Association (UK) – to form one internationally recognized standard.

Botanicals has now excluded the preservative phenoxyethanol in all its lotion-based products and used a higher percentage of organic ingredients to come into line with the new criteria, as well as improving the texture of its balms and cleansing melts for better absorption.

Company founder Wendy Stirling comments: “Sadly, current legislation allows the term ‘organic’ to be mis-used by companies that only include tiny amounts of organic ingredients in their formulations. The only way retailers and consumers can differentiate is to look for an organic certification symbol on the packaging.”
