‘Why Organic’…
Some 75,000 chemicals may come into contact with a baby’s skin. Along with the skin’s ability to absorb up to 60% of any one of these substances, it’s no wonder that skin sensitivity is on the increase.  Committed to sourcing the purest, organic ingredients they can find and certified by the Soil Association, Organic Monkey recognise the benefits of using organic ingredients.

Heidi and Claudine, founders of Organic Monkey, say “Organic products are gentle enough for delicate skin and less drying, better used and received by your skin than synthetic substances. Organic ingredients haven’t been subjected to pesticides or artificial fertilisers and release less greenhouse gases so are better for the environment too.”

The full collection includes; Rock the Cradle Organic Scalp Oil, Belly Better Organic Tummy Oil (both £7.50 for 30ml) and three gift sets that make the perfect present for a friend or loved one and their new baby.

New organic boutique skin care brand Natural Wisdom makes its debut

Natural Wisdom is a new and exciting, boutique organic skin care company, with a very different approach to designing skin care. "We want to create the anti ageing skincare you would love to design for yourself."

One of the many things that makes this company different to other skin care brands is their cold processing method of manufacture, which took them 4 years to perfect and the skill they bring, to the task of selecting premium, bio active ingredients and combining them, synergistically to make powerful antioxidant, anti ageing skincare. "It's our ingredients that define us and our manufacturing process that sets us apart".

Determined to create targeted and effective skin nutrition, they avoid the use of cosmetic grade ingredients that have been refined, bleached or deodorised because this process weakens bio active potency. Their recipes are born out of considerable study and research and from the desire to create the perfect skincare they would want to use for themselves. "We believe that good skin care is like good food. We don't eat synthetic food so why should we use synthetic skin care?

Natural Wisdom was founded in 2007 by Maeve Smith, a Homeopath specialising in nutrition & herbal medicine and Marie Crowe, who has a background in Nursing and Midwifery. When asked to sum up what it is that makes their skincare so different, they are both equally clear.

They debut with their premium organic Rosehip & Pomegranate antioxidant, anti ageing collection. Six facial products priced from just £17 to £44 and available through their online shop.
