Leaf & Stem Scent-Free Body Collection by Green People

With spring just around the corner and winter finally behind us, it’s time to start indulging our bodies with some natural botanical products. At The Amazing Blog, we are excited to share one of our latest amazing finds from Green People: They have created a Modern Botanical range with five different gift sets. Today we are reviewing the Leaf and Stem Scent-Free Body Collection which includes a Shower Gel and Body Lotion. Green People have over 20 years' experience and are pioneers of the clean beauty movement. They are a natural and organic skincare brand that prides themselves on making high-quality products with the finest ingredients. As always, we at The Amazing Blog like to be first in the line to try out any natural products!

The Leaf and Stem Scent-Free Shower Gel and Body Lotion are both designed to suit sensitive skin and provide the body with the moisture it requires. In addition, both products are scent-free, which we really like, as one of our team members suffers from eczema.  An added bonus to these products is that they both come in 100ml tubes, making them the perfect size to pop into hand luggage. 

The Shower Gel is 83% organic and is made with a unique combination of botanical ingredients. The ingredients involved include aloe vera juice, marshmallow extract, yucca extract, and sea salt. It’s the mix of these ingredients that give the Shower Gel its hydrating, soothing and skin protecting properties. While the Shower Gel gently cleanses the body, the Body Lotion is formulated to provide sensitive and dry skin with extra hydration. The Body Lotion is 91% organic and is enriched with shea butter, sunflower oil, olive oil, perilla oil, jojoba oil as well as rosemary extract, chamomile extract and aloe vera juice. With all of these wonderful ingredients, this Body Lotion intensely moisturises skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. 

Both these two products offer the skin an ideal start and end to the day; and there is no better way to welcome in the spring, than pampering our bodies with these natural products. After using these products, our skin was left nourished, rejuvenated and satin smooth. The delicate light formula of the body lotion melted into our skin and was absorbed quickly. Added to all these benefits, the Shower Gel and Body Lotion are also suitable for children which makes them ideal for the family bathroom. We must also mention that all Green People products are vegan, cruelty-free and free from parabens. What we particularly like is that a donation from the sale of each of the Modern Botanicals Gifts goes to Plantlife a British conservation charity that works to save threatened wild flowers, plants and fungi. You can purchase the Leaf and Stem Scent-Free Body Collection here for £18.40.

Deodorant Feature - Friday Favourites

We at The Amazing Blog know how important it is to stay fresh while living our busy and sometimes hectic lives. Whether we are running daily errands, going to the gym or travelling; we all want to feel protected from unpleasant odours. We also love discovering new brands that do natural and organic products that are vegan friendly, not tested on animals and that are free from nasty chemicals that harm our health.  That’s why we tried and tested three great brands that offered us just what we were looking for. 

Green People were one of the first brands we tried and fell in love with. Their paraben free Quinoa & Prebiotics Deodorant is 89% organic and non-irritating, so what’s not to love? It also effectively controls odours and doesn’t contain pore-clogging aluminium. You should also expect this ultra-gentle roll-on deodorant to deliver more than just supreme protection: skin-loving ingredients like Rosemary and Shea butter soothe and calm the underarm, prevent irritation and regulate the skin’s acid balance. Skin is left soothed, softened and refreshingly scented with a pleasant citrus formula. Green People Quinoa & Prebiotics deodorant is available for £9.50 on their website.

When AA Skincare launched their new fresh-smelling trio of deodorants we were happy to try them out since they promised to give day-long protection. Not only did this effective trio deliver long lasting protection, they also allowed our skin to breathe as the ingredients used contain pure deodorising essential oils and natural extracts. The deodorants come in Grapefruit & Cedarwood, Lemongrass & Lavender, and Bergamot & Aloe, so you can choose your favourite one. These naturally effective deodorants won’t block your pores or irritate your skin and they contain no aluminium salts, alcohol or artificial fragrances.  Packed in handy glass roll-on containers to ensure no wastage, the range is competitively priced at just £4.95 and is available online here.

Salt of the Earth’s Pure Aura Natural Deodorant for Women was our most recent product to trial. With the sweet scent of Lavender and Vanilla, this natural spray-on deodorant will leave underarms fresh all day long with a heavenly blend of plant extracts and oils. With no testing on animals and made from wholly natural ingredients, this product is not only good for your skin but also for your conscience! For these reasons, it is no wonder Salt of the Earth has received multiple accolades for their products. Their range also includes an unscented Natural Deodorant with Aloe Vera and Baking Soda that is suitable for men and women and also comes in an easy-to-use spray bottle. Treat your oft-forgotten underarms to some natural TLC with Salt of the Earth’s Natural Deodorant here from £2.99 for a handy travel sized Unscented spray to £5.99 for the Pure Aura Natural Deodorant for Women.

Man Organic

Here at The Amazing Blog, the girls are constantly browsing for new beauty products online. With loads of websites to choose from, catering to their specific needs, I often feel left out. I don’t really need to tell you that men have very little choice in comparison when shopping online. With this in mind, I thought I would take a different approach to my usual product based posts, and introduce you to my new favourite male grooming site, Man Organic. 

Often having to actively hunt out organic products when it comes to skincare, shopping for male grooming products was becoming quite the hassle. So you can imagine my delight when this exclusively organic site crossed my path. With a plethora of organic brands to choose from, from Yes To to Green People, I was truly in skincare heaven when browsing through their collection. To be totally honest, it really opened my eyes to just how many organic products there are on the market specifically for men. It’s great to finally have somewhere to visit where I can easily find what I’m looking for, instead of raking the aisles and reading the small print in order to treat my skin.

Now that it’s so much simpler to go green, treat your skin to some wonderful new products at Man Organic.

Green People - DD Cream -

We here at The Amazing Blog love applying makeup before we come to work, but sometimes we have a late start to our mornings and don’t have enough time for our usual routine. For these times, we love using multi-purpose products such as DD creams to conceal imperfections quickly. Our newest favourite is the DD cream from Green People.

When BB and CC creams first arrived on the beauty market, we were all over them. In the same way, Daily Defence (DD) creams have charmed our hearts, as they contain SPF and help to even out our skin tones. This particular DD cream from Green People is the first certified organic tinted moisturiser in the UK, plus it provides anti-ageing benefits.

The cream contains Sea Fennel stem cells, which work to brighten and renew the skin. We found this true when we tried it, since our tired and uneven skin instantly looked lifted and vibrant. The white container comes with an easy-to-use pump so you can dispense your desired amount of product with ease. It felt lightweight and clean on our skin, while still giving us the coverage we desired to look our absolute best.

Pick up your own Green People DD cream here for £34.95 to save time in the morning and look fabulous every day.
