Neal’s Yard Remedies are still going strong after more than two decades and they continue to stand by their commitment to creating only natural remedies and toiletries. The company claims that it doesn’t sell anything it feels won’t genuinely give benefit to people's lives. This is ambitious but nevertheless we love the fact the fact that no artificial preservatives, chemical derivatives or synthetic aromas are used. Prices can be on the steep side but their beauty specialities are just such high quality. It’s often difficult to know what to choose. We recommend the delicately scented Frankincense Nourishing Cream or the Honey and Orange Scrub. The Wild Rose Beauty Balm and Rose Facial Oil are also very mum-friendly and smell just delicious. They also put together some precious little gift packs containing the best of their products – it’s worth splashing out on one of these.
