Natural cosmetics
I have just recently discovered that I have an allergy to alcohol and ethanol and would be grateful for any advice as to what cosmetics or beauty ranges I could use, as I am finding it very difficult to find anything on the shelves without these substances.
The good news is you can end your search for truly natural cosmetic and skincare products right now with an introduction to the Living Nature range which is massively popular in its native New Zealand and now starting to get the widespread attention it deserves here.
When I first wrote about this range, more than five years ago, it was limited to mostly skincare products but since then, it has been expanded to include a brilliant line of cosmetics, from mascara to lip liner, natural eye shadows and blushers.
Formulated by Suzanne Hall, a New Zealand-trained biochemist with a passion for herbs, natural colourings and natural preservatives, Living Nature is committed to producing organic (where possible) products which are 100% preservative-free. This means no nasty parabens, nothing that will give you an adverse reaction and no testing on animals either.
It is one of the few natural beauty ranges I like so much I often buy it for Christmas and birthday presents and you will not be disappointed. For an up-to-date catalogue, you can contact the UK division direct on 01794 323222. To check out the full range on-line, together with sterling prices, visit www.uk@livingnature.com. If you live near Bristol or London, then the Fresh & Wild health stores carry the most extensive range. If you need to mail order, contact the specialist supplier, Revital on 0800 252875.
