I'm so very happy to share this amazing news with you. At the European Natural Beauty Awards in Paris last week, our Repair Face Serum won the 'Natural Excellence' award.
This feels incredibly special. The note that came with the award says it beautifully:
This excellence award is a tribute to your outstanding commitment to natural beauty. May it serve as a reminder of your dedication to raising standards and inspiring the cosmetics industry.
Each product that was shortlisted for the award underwent a twelve week trial by a jury of beauty professionals from across Europe. To win means our Repair Face Serum was found to be 'effective and true to its promises'.
I'm touched to receive this recognition because it speaks to the values that have guided me from the very beginning. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to honesty, integrity and compassion. These values shape how we create our products, how we care for our customers and how we seek to make a positive difference in the world of beauty. To see these principles acknowledged in this way is humbling and affirming.
Most of all I am grateful to be able to share this moment with you. None of this would have been possible without your support. Every purchase every kind word and every story you have shared has carried our little brand to this place on the world stage.
Thank you for believing in what we do and for allowing us to be part of your daily rituals of care and self kindness. This award is as much yours as it is ours.

I'm often being asked about Retinol and whether or not I would recommend it. Firstly, let me explain what it is and what it does. Retinol improves skin texture and fights signs of aging by speeding up cell turnover and boosting collagen production.
Main Benefits of Retinol
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles: It stimulates collagen and elastin production to plump the skin and smooth out lines.
Accelerates skin cell turnover: It helps the skin shed dead cells faster, revealing a fresher, brighter, and smoother surface.
Evens skin tone: It reduces melanin production to help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
As much as I would love everyone to just empty the contents of their beauty cabinet and start fresh, it’s not practical or affordable for many. So given that one of the most common questions I get asked is ‘where should I start when transitioning to organic skincare’, I wanted to lay out my recommendations.
When going organic, I think it’s good to know not only what to start buying but why. That way you can make informed decisions and know that you’re heading in the right direction.
Lying in bed at 3am, desperate for sleep for come over me, is not how I expected to be spending my Thursday nights. But this is how it seems to be at 45. I’m hot, I’ve taken Panadol about 3 hours earlier to no avail, and I’m hearing every animal noise outside my window (which on other nights I would have slept through). I hate this.
