Rating: 4 Hearts
Link: http://www.aubreyorganicsuk.co.uk

Ingredients: Deionized Water, Natural Grain Alcohol, Vegetable Glycerin, Calendula Oil, d-Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Camomile Oil, Arnica Extract, Rose Water, Calamine Powder, and a complex of Sandalwood Oil, Patchouli Oil, Jasmine Oil, Fir Oil, Vanilla Oil, Cedarwood Oil and Rose Oil

I was a little unhappy that my crystal deodorant didn’t always keep me dry and that the pump often got clogged up, so I decided to look for something new. The lovely selection of oils made this product stand out and I’ve always enjoyed using the Aubrey Organics range, so it didn’t take further convincing for me to give it a go.

Ingredients: pure camellia kissi oil and pure copaiba balsam

I know I’ve gone on a lot about Anita Grant this month, but I really had to do a review of this oil. I bought several different samples from her online store, but this really is the star product for me. The funny thing is, I almost didn’t buy it either, it was a last-second addition to my shopping basket. Believe me, I’m incredibly thankful it caught my eye!

Ingredients: Organic witch hazel, infused with organic calendula petals, organic elder flowers, organic burdock root with organic rose geranium & organic neroli essential oils.

I purchased this along with the matching moisturiser (see my other review for today). I’ve always been impressed with how witch hazel takes care of my skin and with the addition of the other beautiful ingredients, I thought I’d give myself a nice treat.

Ingredients: Organic almond oil, organic carrot oil, organic St. John’s wort oil, organic beeswax, organic shea nut butter, organic elderflowers, organic yarrow flowers with organic rose geranium & neroli essential oils.

This was very much an impulse buy, along with the matching toner which I am also reviewing today. I was researching moisturisers (always a dangerous thing to do) and fell in love with the ingredients. I was also excited to learn that it is suitable for those prone to oily skin and breakouts.

Aubrey Organics Calaguala Fern ShampooPrice: £5.99 per 30g (refill available for £4.99)

Ingredients: Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Montmorillonite (French Green) Clay, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Ground Almond), Lavender Flowers, Lavandula (Angustifolia) Essential Oil, Chamomile (Anthemis Nobilis) Essential Oil, Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens) Essential Oil

I tend to exfoliate with a plain loofah, but a few months ago I decided to try something a little more luxurious for special occasions. I was drawn to this product because of the mix of oats, clay and almonds - other scrubs tend to have only a single exfoliating ingredient.
