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 British brand Mary Elizabeth launches appeared first on Natural Beauty Yearbook.

The brainchild of mother-and-daughter team Cecilia Rathe and Claire Huntley, Mary Elizabeth is a new natural skincare brand which aims to be affordable yet luxurious.

The brand – the ethos of which is to be natural, effective, stylish and sustainable – uses pure natural plant oils, organic essential oils and other ethically-sourced ingredients, and the products have been designed to soothe and protect the skin.

Cecilia, a qualified aromatherapist, undertook research to find natural and effective ingredients that could help her skin recover following a battle with skin cancer in 2010. “Although the treatment was successful,” explains Cecilia, “my skin was left in a poor condition, and I was reluctant to use hydrocortisone cream to help it as suggested. Knowing the many skincare benefits of natural plant oils and essential oils I decided to make a cream myself using natural ingredients, and it soothed my skin within days! After nearly two years of extensive research, development and testing our first products were ready to launch.”

The initial products to be offered are: Frankincense and Rose Moisturiser to boost and brighten the complexion, with ingredients including meadowfoam oil, thistle oil, frankincense and rose otto damask essential oil; Camellia and Geranium Gentle Face Scrub, containing cupacu grains, camellia oil, rose geranium oil and lavender essential oil; Juniper and Jojoba Hand Cream for soft, supple hands; and Spearmint and Tea Tree Nurture Balm – an all purpose balm for lips, hands, nails feet and dry skin, this is packed with natural oils including meadowfoam, tea tree, hemp, avocado, apricot and shea butter to boost moisture, soothe and protect.

“We have plans to increase our skincare and nurture ranges in 2015, and to introduce the first products in our Mum and Baby range.  We also want to extend our distribution and availability,” adds Cecilia.

Keeping it in the family, the rebranding was designed by Lawless’ daughter Natasha, and aims to emphasize the link between the products and plants and nature.

Along with the new look, Aqua Oleum has expanded its range to offer a new six-strong line of blended massage oils – After Dark Sensual Body Oil; Purity, a detoxing oil; exotic and uplifting Oriental Spice; Tranquility to relax body and mind; Vitality to tone up muscle pre-workout; and Aches & Pains offering remedial relief.
