Sometime when I find new products for the store, they get rushed on to the shop immediately. Other times, it takes me a little while to add them to the store. This week, after around 12 months of using the products myself, I have added a very unique cream cleanser and moisturiser to our natural skin care range.

What did we add?

Beauty & The Bees Leatherwood Honey Coconut Marigold Cream Cleanser

This is a rich and moisturising cream cleanser based on coconut oil, olive oil, vegetable wax, Tasmanian leatherwood beeswax and honey and other completely natural ingredients. It's perfectly suited to virtually any skin type, even sensitive skin, and it has a really light & fresh smell so it's also suited to those with a sensitive nose, which is why I have been using this for the last 12 months with no troubles.

Beauty & The Bees Leatherwood Honey Coconut Marigold Ultra Light Moisture Cream

While this is an ultra light cream, on my own skin, I find it a little heavier and use this as my night cream. If you use it as your day cream, please allow a few minutes for it to soak in to your skin before adding any type of mineral makeup. If you don't, any powder foundation you apply will be uneven and blotchy. If you're in a hurry, you can trial mixing them together to make your own tinted moisturiser. Experiment until you get the right consistency or simply allow some time between the application of your moisturiser and the powder foundation.

Again, suitable for sensitive skin, I've been using it for 12 months now with no issues. It is also available in a Light, Rich and Ultra Rich formula. While these are not on the shop, we can special order them in for you if you can allow approx 3 weeks delivery.

Why did it take so long to add to the store?

The products are really amazing, but the one thing that I was a little hesitant about was the extra care that needs to be taken when these products are stored. The products have an approx. 6 to 12 months shelf life when kept in normal conditions, but they are extended a minimum of 6 months past their stickered Best Before date when kept in the fridge. These products are kept in the fridge in our warehouse and when you get them home, we recommend you do the same. You will be given a small empty sample jar with your purchase and we suggest you leave the main jar in the fridge and decant 2-3 days worth at a time and keep that in your bathroom.
