Hartpury Soap Company; ultimate handmade skincare and wedding favours from the Gloucestershire countryside.

   Whether you’re looking for bespoke wedding favours or a touch of luxurious handmade skincare, Hartpury Soap Company are sure to be able to cater for your desires! Based in Gloucestershire, this artisan business was founded by Kim Freeman, who has a keen interest in all things natural. All of her products are completely natural and 100% free from chemical ingredients like parabens and SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate). An extensive range of all-natural products are available online via the website (www.hartpurysoapcompany.co.uk), and Hartpury Soap Company stalls can often be found popping up at various events (all upcoming events are listed on the website), so you’re bound to find something that suits you! Also available are a number of accessories such as soap dishes, wooden scoops (for bath salts), body brushes, and reflexology rollers.

"...grab a cup of tea, a cappuccino, or a glass of wine if you'd prefer, a have a relaxing look around, we are sure there will be something to temp you..."

   I particularly love Hartpury Soap Company’s straightforward, no nonsense way of thinking. The vast product range is available in seven scents, so you simply find the products that you’d like to purchase then pick the fragrances that tickle your fancy! My personal favourite fragrances available are zingy Orange & Ginger, cleansing Tea Tree & Eucalyptus, and relaxing Lavender & Vetiver. If you want something refreshing, try the Tea Tree & Lime or Lavender & Lime scents to help you revive your senses. Or for something fragrant and zesty, try for the Orange & Patchouli option. For ultimate relaxation, opt for the Patchouli & Geranium – this one is particularly good for a long hot soak in the tub to help you unwind (a Bath Melt in this fragrance is just divine).

   Bath Salts are one of my all-time favourite products. They’re a great way to turn your everyday bath into a luxurious relaxing experience. Hartpury Soap Company sell Himalayan Bath Salts in all of the divine fragrances listed above. They are presented beautifully in a simple glass bottle with a Hemu Wood Scoop included, and smaller refill salts are also available to top it up when you’re running low. Simple pop a scoop under warm running water when you’re filling the tub for a fragrance and relaxing soak.

"...release you're inner Cleopatra..."

   For something a little different, but equally as invigorating for the senses, try a jar of Hartpury Soap Company’s Bath Milk. Again, this product is presented in a gorgeous glass jar, and refills for this product are available, too. This skin-loving powder contains caring Goats’ Milk, mineral-rich Epsom Salts, and the fragrance of your choice - the perfect choice for a soothing soak! 

   Hartpury Soap Company’s Bath Melts have the power to turn your tub into a creamy, sensual, nutrient-rich experience. These super-hydrating little melts can also be used after washing, just as you would with a bar of soap, if you’ve no time for a nice long bath. They are made up of natural butters and essential oils, and they really pack a lot of skin-loving goodness! There’s no need to moisturise after using one of these. I personally recommend buying a number of these in different scents to help you choose your favourite fragrance.

   All soaps made my Hartpury Soap Company are hand-crafted using the traditional Cold Press method. Again, they are available in the fragrance of your choice and are free from nasty chemical ingredients, as well as being 100% Palm Oil free. Each bar is created, cut, and packaged by hand, and so every single one is unique. It is advised that you use a soap dish, also available via Hartpury Soap Company, to help the bars last longer and stay in tip-top condition. 

   All Hartpury Soap Company products are handmade, hand-wrapped, and presented beautifully, and so they make wonderful gifts as individual products, but there are also a range of gift packs available starting from under £10. For something a little different for your wedding or party favours, contact the team about their bespoke favour service. They’re sure to work with you to make your favours as perfect as can be!

DO NOT USE IMAGES WITHOUT PERMISSION

   Louise Sheppard is the lady behind Seggin Bees. From Honey Fudge to soap bars, everything Louise sells is handmade using honey from the hives in her garden in Leominster, Herefordshire. Products can be purchased online and from the “In A Nutshell” shop in Leominster, and the Seggin Bees team can often be found at various local craft fairs where they will be happy for you to test, taste, and take home their produce and educate you about their little artisan business. Visit the website to see where they’ll be popping up next! http://www.segginbees.luston.org.uk/html

/body_where_we_ll_be_next.html

   Today I’ll be focusing on their skincare products, starting with three popular soaps from the ever growing range! Seggin Bees are members of The Guild Of Craft Soap and Toiletry Makers. All of their soaps are crafted by hand using the tradition Cold Press Method, which is a natural, heat-free process which takes over a month. Their soaps are made using local ingredients, many of which are from their garden (you can’t get much more local than that!), including their own beeswax and honey, flowers, and herbs to provide natural texture, aroma, and nourishment. They are completely free from SLS, SLES, and Parabens, making them suitable for use on even the most sensitive skin types.

   First up is the Dancing Bee Honeycomb Soap. This bar is presented in a pretty draw-string gift bag, tied with yellow ribbon and a cute little Bumble Bee bead – an ideal gift! The soap is moulded to resemble a piece of honeycomb, which not only looks interesting and attractive, but it also gives the bar an exfoliating surface which helps to cleanse the skin and gives you a mini-massage, excellent for soothing tired, achy muscles after a long day! I love to rub it on the shoulders and the back of the neck. It has a gentle formula that is kind enough to use all over the body and it’s strongly scented with sweet Herefordshire honey – delicious!

   Dancing Bee Goats’ Milk, Honey and Calendula Soap is perfect for sensitive skin and those suffering from skin conditions as it contains anti-inflammatory Calendula. This clever ingredient helps sooth irritated skin, while honey and goats’ milk hydrates dry areas. This soap is well worth trying if you’re looking for a natural product to help improve conditions such as Eczema and Psoriasis, or if you have very sensitive or extremely dry skin. This pretty bar is flecked with Calendula petals and rustically presented – a true artisan beauty!

   Dancing Bee Honey and Lemongrass Soap is my favourite of the three soaps I’m featuring today. I love products with sharp zing scents, and I also adore the aroma of honey, and this soap has both! It’s citrus fragrance is provided by refreshing lemongrass which helps to balance the skin and control sebum levels, excess shine, and blemishes. The reinvigorating scent is provides a perfect pick-me-up to help revive the senses, so it’s ideal for your morning skincare routine! The formula is also infused with nourishing honey to soften the skin, and exfoliating poppy seeds to buff away dry cells and reveal a glowing complexion. It’s non-floral scent makes it ideal for the guys and girls!

   For sorry skin that’s in need of a little extra TLC, why not try Seggin Bees’ Dancing Bee Skin Balm? This hard-working product is ideal for soothing and repairing dry hands, irritated areas, and damaged skin. The waterproof formula contains a combination of skin-loving natural ingredients including beeswax, eucalyptus, fragrant rosemary, softening almond oil and olive oil, and healing tea tree. The solid balm melts into a creamy consistency on contact with the skin and is quickly absorbed.

   Finally, my favourite Seggin Bees product, the Dancing Bee Lip Balm. It is honestly the best lip balm I’ve ever used, and I cannot rave about this little lip saviour enough! Everything about this balm is just perfect. It is presented as a stick (like a lipstick bullet), rather than in a tin, which I find much more useful as it’s easy to open and apply as they don’t jam (and are much more simple to use when you’ve got wet nails). Just a touch

goes a really long way. It has a super-soft, buttery texture which I just adore. It not only provides the lips with intense nutrients and fast deep hydration, but it also gives them a glossy sheen. The fact that this product is all natural means you don’t get any unpleasant scent or chemically taste, in fact you get rather the opposite! It gives the tempting scent of sticky sweet honey and doesn’t leave any taste on the lips. It’s creamy formula includes some of nature’s finest moisturisers; beeswax, cocoa butter, coconut oil, and Vitamin E. I fell in love with this balm from the first application, and I’m sure you will love it, too!

   The Seggin Bees range also includes a number of delicious sweet treats such as their award-winning Honey Fudge, pots of yummy honey from their own hives, and tasty Honey Mustard. They also stock handmade bits and pieces for beehives which can all be found online.

Filberts Of Dorset; Skincare to bring you the goodness of brilliant beeswax!

© Tuesday T. Bryan
DO NOT USE IMAGES WITHOUT PERMISSION

   Farmer and honey-lover Mark Rogers has been keeping bees on his West Dorset farm for a decade. His 100 hives house hard-working bees that produce much more than just delicious golden honey. The Filberts Of Dorset product range came about somewhat by accident. Beeswax, a versatile ingredient that works wonders on sorry skin, is a by-product of the hive. Mark was experimenting with combining wax, honey and pollen to cook up culinary treats, however it didn’t quite go to plan, and he realised the mixture of oils was much better suited to creating beeswax-based products for the home and body. By 2008 a small selection of products had hatched, and with Mark’s mother on board, Filberts Of Dorset was born! Since then, the Filberts team has expanded and the product range has grown. Available to purchase via the website is everything from pure Dorset Beeswax Bars to DIY Candle Rolling Kits. You can even buy seeds that grow into plants that bees just adore – sadly these hard-working wonders are on the decline, so scatter some seeds in your garden to produce BEE-autiful flowers to help furry little fellas near you!

   I mainly want to discuss the Filberts Of Dorset body products which include luscious lip care, skin-saving salves, and buttery body balms. With products available for men, women and children, you’ll find something for all the family. You can even buy a kit to make your own lip balms at home (more about that later)!
   For a great lip care all-rounder I recommend the West Country Lip Balm. This hard-working balm contains a mixture of skin-loving ingredients including vitamin E, propolis, honey, and of course beeswax! Not only does it heal and hydrate the lips in all weathers, Filberts also say it can be used to sooth sore skin. A great multi-tasker!
   Missing the summer time? The dreary weather brings down our mood, and the cold air dries out the lips. Try a slick of Filberts Mint Choc Lip Balm to protect your lips from the harsh temperatures and bring you the sweet scent of summer. It’s combination of cooling tingly peppermint oil and it’s sweetly scented 20% raw cocoa butter content produce the smell of mint chocolate ice cream, and it even has the rich colour of chocolate! What could be more summery? It also contains nourishing coconut and almond oils, and caring vitamin E.
   Filberts Of Dorset has combined zingy lime oil and creamy coconut oil to create their popular Lime & Coconut LipBalm that’s proved a hit with both men and women alike. It also contains softening almond oil, zesty bergamot oil, fruity avocado oil, and herby rosemary oil. The nutrient-rich formula is great for the skin and gives a bright, tropical scent.

   One of my favourite scents (and flavours) is ginger, so Filberts Of Dorset’s Lemon & Ginger Lip Balm is just my cup of tea! It contains both lemongrass and lemon oil to keep you citrus-lovers happy, and a spicy hit of warming tingly ginger oil gives spicy depth and sensuality. It reminds me of ginger beer. Delicious!

"Use Filberts LUXURY LIP BALM alone or as a top coat
over matte lipsticks for a gorgeous shiny finish and
healthy hydration!"
Via Instagram: www.instagram.com/tuesdaytbryan

   LuxuryLip Balm is one for the ladies. This best-selling product looks and feels amazing on the skin. It deeply nourished the lips and gives them an attractive glossy finish and super smooth feel. Filberts’ latest addition, Rose Lip Balm, is based on the Luxury Lip Balm recipe. It also has a shiny finish and caring formula, but it has the added benefit of rose, geranium, and palmarose oils and has a floral aroma. Filberts suggest using this one over lipstick for a high-shine look!
   If you’re the outdoorsy type you’ll need a strong all-rounder to battle the elements. Go for either Original Lip Balm or the West Country Lip Balm. These two have formulas made with The Great Outdoors in mind, so they’re perfect for the job! Apply to lips regularly (particularly before heading outside) to ensure you’re lips are kept in tip-top condition in all weathers. The Original Lip Balm has the highest beeswax content of all Filberts lip balms and will remain solid at high temperatures rather than melting away, making it ideal for travel. The West Country Lip Balm contains a healing combination of honey, vitamin E, tea tree, and propolis (an ingredient that protects bee hives from wind and rain), making it great for using on minor skin damage as well as the lips.

     For super-sensitive skin try opting for something fragrance-free such as Filberts Unscented Moisturising Salve to sooth and hydrate the skin and lips without the risk of any irritation from added scent.

   Tea tree oil is something of a wonder-product. Extracted from the leaves of the Melaleuca Alternifolia tree, this essential oil is widely used by the health and beauty industry. Filberts of Dorset have put it to work in the wonderful Tea Tree Salve. This antiseptic healing balm soothes and hydrates dry and irritated skin and helps to improve areas of damaged skin, bites, and stings. I also find it’s great for banishing blemishes and clearing up cracked lips. It’s available in two sizes – I have the smaller 7.4g tin which is perfect for popping in your handbag or taking on your travels.
Our hard-working hands need a hard-working product to keep dry skin at bay, and Filberts Of Dorset have a super solution! Rich in nourishing sweet almond and avocado oils, Filberts’ Hand Salve’s fabulous formula instantly rehydrates dry areas and deeply moisturises to provide long-lasting relief. It’s also waterproof so it won’t wash away when you clean your hands! It has a fresh herby aroma with a touch of sweetness provided by rosemary and citrus oils. Use on damp hands regularly to keep them hydrated, or on dry hands for a more intense treatment. I love to massage a touch into my cuticles before and after a manicure to keep them looking and feeling perfectly polished, but you can also use Filberts’ Cuticle Butter for this if you prefer something specifically for your nails.

   It may not feel very warm outside at the moment, but summer will be here in no time at all – hooray! But it’s not quite time to break out the sandals just yet, so now is the perfect time to get your feel looking fabulous for when you don your flip flops. Get your tootsies in tip-top condition with Filberts Of Dorset’s phenomenal Foot Salve. It’s super-hydrating formula is packed full of foot-loving olive oil to soften the skin and refresh tired feet. This beautiful balm is also waterproof and has the sweet summery scent of citrusy orange and frankincense. Divine! For an intense overnight treatment I smother it all over my feet before bed then pop on some clean socks to wake up to glorious, sensually soft toes – so quick and easy!

Outback Organics; Ethical skincare bringing Australian goodness to Somerset.

Source: Google Images.

   The quaint Blackdown Hills village of Churchstanton is the home of family-run business, Outback Organics. This successful Somerset skincare brand produces a vast range of ethical products fused with natural and organic ingredients from Australia, hence the name! None of the products contain any appalling additives like parabens, SLS, synthetic colour of fragrance, and the team are completely against animal testing. The brand has proved hugely popular with the public and professionals alike, and the waxing products are a hit with many professional beauticians including Sam Marshall (AKA “The Beauty Guru”), a well-known figure in the beauty industry, who uses the products for her treatments and her waxing training and believes the Outback Gold Peelable Wax is “the best hot wax in the world”. Outback Organics products are also a huge hit with salons and spas worldwide. Want the spa experience at home? Pop over to their website to shop the range at www.outbackorganics.co.uk/ or www.essentialbeautysupplies.co.uk/outback-organics/.

   I want to kick off by talking about my favourite Outback Organics product, the Tea Tree Face Cream. Finding a product to suit you can be a nightmare, and my combination skin rejects a lot of commercial products. However, this face cream is specially formulated for oily and combination skin and is suitable for regular use. It keeps the skin hydrated and nourished and gives a glorious, matte finish without leaving any unpleasant residue. Tea Tree is something of a “wonder product” renowned for its multitude of benefits, especially in the world of skincare, and Outback Organics utilize its powers in many of their products. In Outback Organics’ hair care products it helps to battle flaky, itchy scalps, and in this moisturising facial cream it helps to balance the skin and control the production of sebum (a substance naturally produced by the skin to keep it hydrated). If you suffer from breakouts then you could help to control blemishes with Outback Organics Pure Tea Tree Oil Spot Stick. Easy to use, simply apply the healing blend of oils directly to imperfections to help calm the area and reduce redness.

   Exfoliating products have a “scrubby” abrasive texture to buff away dry flaky patches of skin. They’re also ideal for helping to remove blackheads. Outback Organics Face & Body Scrub is my exfoliator of choice for regular use. I use it at least three times a week to battle imperfections, banish shine, and relieve any dryness. It leaves the skin nourished, clean, and rids the skin of excess oil leaving a lovely matte finish! 

Source:www.twitter.com/OutbackOrganics/

   Using the benefits of Tea Tree oil again, the Outback Organics team have developed a moisturiser for your body to keep your skin moisturise from head to toe! The Hand & Body Lotion is blended with a mix of skin-loving natural ingredients including miraculous Macadamia oil to sooth irritated skin and rehydrate dry areas. The Tea Tree infusion gives a zingy, energising aroma to refresh the senses and lift the mood. I’m also a fan of the Hand &Foot Lotion. It too is blended with soothing Macadamia oil to keep dryness at bay. I like to massage it into my hands and feet before and after manicures and pedicures, focusing on the cuticles. For deep hydration and intense nourishment, before you go to bed, apply a generous layer of the product to the feet and apply socks straight away without rubbing it in. Your feet will soak up all the goodness overnight leaving you with feather-soft feet in the morning. This tip is especially useful in the summer when your feet are on show more!

   To nourish delicate areas before and after hair removal, Outback Organics Bush Balm soothes and cares for irritated skin. A combination of Allantoin, Aloe Vera, Frankincense Extract, Macadamia Oil, and Shea Butter intensely hydrate the skin and reduce redness caused by hair removal procedures. Outback Organics suggest using it between waxing appointments to help prevent ingrown hairs and battle dehydration. Effective yet gentle, its caring formula is  mild enough for use on sensitive areas such as the face and underarms.

   Outback Organics Botanical Body Oil contains Green Tea as an anti-oxidant infused with a deeply nourishing natural blend of organic Rose Hip oil, Olive oil, and Argan oils. This versatile product has multiple uses making it excellent value for money and a great space-saver. If you wax this product could make the hair removal experience easier. Spritzing it over the skin before you apply the wax forms a barrier between the wax and the skin to make the process more comfortable (it works with both “peelable” and strip waxes). It can also be used to remove those irritating tenacious bits of wax that cling to the skin after waxing. Prefer to shave? Spray it all over the area before you apply your shaving cream or foam to reduce dragging on the skin. It can also be used simply as an intensely caring body moisturiser with a refreshing mist consistency rather than a heavy cream. I used it all summer over my tan to give it a sexy sheen and a dewy radiance – it really makes you golden glow “pop”!

    It’s important to moisturise regularly, especially in winter when the bitter cold air encourages dryness. There are countless moisturisers on the market designed for all kinds of skin.

   If you want your moisturiser to give the appearance of more youthful skin, Replenish Face Cream is for you! Designed to improve and prevent signs of aging, it’s 84% organic formula contains a combination of anti-wrinkle herbal ingredients including Calendula, Marshmallow, Ginkgo, Rosehip, Evening Primrose, and Vitamin E, and is yet another award-winning Herbfarmacy product gave me great results! Recommended for dry, mature, and sensitive skin, the luxuriously thick and creamy formula was absorbed quickly and gave tighter skin with a desirable matte finish.

   My favourite Herbfarmacy product is the Divine Light Face Cream (in fact, it’s possibly the best face cream I’ve ever used!). Designed for oily, combination, or younger skin, it’s creamy formula contains softening Marshmallow and conditioning Calendula, as well as Echinacea which has a mildly astringent quality. Astringents help to balance the skin, ridding it of unwanted oily shine caused by excess sebum production (sebum is a substance naturally secreted by the skin to keep it hydrated, but it causes oiliness and shine when it’s overproduced). This product worked absolute wonders for my combination skin! It gave my skin balance and glow from the first use, and I would defiantly buy this again. I highly recommended this to anyone whose skin is on the oily side!

   The last Herbfarmacy face cream I want to share with you is the Starweed Face Cream. It has an uplifting fresh fragrance that reminds me of freshly-cut grass – a great little pick-me-up in your morning skincare routine! It’s wonder-ingredient is Starweed (also known as Chickweed). This versatile plant sprouts up all over the Herbfarmacy fields. Not only is it edible, but it also has skin-softening properties. In this mild face cream it gently soothes the skin making it perfect for use on sensitive skin. It’s even suitable for sufferers of skin conditions like Eczema. It’s effective, non-heavy formula also works well on combination skin types, and it’s proved a winner with men due to it’s clean, non-flowery aroma!

   Yet another award-winner, Herbfarmacy Just Eyes is a luscious cream formulated specifically for the delicate eye area. The cooling formula leaves the eyes feeling refreshed, so it’s excellent for dabbing on the area when you’re feeling tired and rundown. Cooling products also help to diminish the appearance of dreaded “dark circles”!

   It’s important to keep your hands hydrated, too. Leaving dry patches untreated can lead to unsightly flaky redness and uncomfortable cracking. Tackle dehydrated hands with Herbfarmacy Working Hands Cream. This protective product is 83% organic and contains Calendula, Marshmallow, and Comfrey giving a pleasant, warming, herby aroma. If you prefer something with a more vibrant, fruity fragrance, try the Citrus Hand Cream instead. It contains a blend of essential oils from Grapefruit, Mandarin, Orange and Bergamot, and smells like a squeeze of summer in your hands!

Nail & Cuticle Oil.

   If you need something that offers more intense treatment than a moisturising cream, Herbfarmacy also produce a collection of skin balms to treat a range of skin problems and provide instant nourishment. Balms have a concentrated formula packed with goodness – a little goes a long way, so apply sparingly to allow it to be absorbed. The award-winning Skin Rescue Balm is perfect for providing hydration to sorry skin on the face and body. Balms harden up when they’re cold, so soften in your palms if necessary before applying to dry patches, cracked areas, and even on eczema. I also like to massage it into my nails and cuticles to keep them in tip-top condition (Herbfarmacy sell an award-winning Nail & Cuticle Oil to condition the nails, too).  This excellent all-rounder contains a healing herbal blend of Marshmallow, Calendula, Chickweed, and Comfrey, and it’s 100% organic.

   Psoriasis and Eczema can cause major discomfort for sufferers, and it can be a real struggle to find a suitable product to calm flare-ups. However, Herbfarmacy have formulated their Oregon Grape Balm containing extracts of Calendula, Chickweed, and Roman Chamomile essential oil to sooth areas affected by irritating skin conditions. It’s suitable for anyone over the age of 6 weeks, so it’s great to have on standby in case anyone in the family experiences a flare-up or extreme dryness.
