YOPE - Green Tea & Mint TGA Soap & Hand Cream

The winters here in London are no joke, and we find ourselves in a constant cycle of washing our hands just to avoid getting sick, and then applying hand cream as the hard water dries them out. We’ve been looking for the perfect natural products to use at the Amazing Blog to keep our hands clean, healthy and soft. Enter YOPE.

YOPE was founded by Polish husband and wife team Karolina and Pawel Kosowicz after a need arose for natural personal and home care products at affordable prices. Together, they set out to create a line of products that are safe for their young children to use and accessible for families of all backgrounds to enjoy. Their mission didn’t stop there – they wanted to ensure their products were also environmentally friendly and sustainable. Over 90% of the ingredients are natural and minimally-processed, with 100% of them being safe for people and pets. All YOPE products are beautifully scented with distinctive fragrances and we loved how the scent lingered on the skin and created an uplifting feeling. Ooh and did we mention the adorable branding? Look out for the soft pastel colours and small animal illustrations covering the products. 

The YOPE Green Tea & Mint TGA Soap Formula was made to be gentler than even the most gentle hand soap on the market. TGA is a special combination of plant-based surfactants that are safe for every skin type and age. It supports the skin’s natural lipid barrier keeping our skin silky smooth all winter long! It’s formulated with pure botanical extracts, soothing allantoin and regenerating vitamin B5. This is a hand wash that we’d feel comfortable sharing with the whole family!

After lathering up with the Tea and Mint Natural Liquid Soap with TGA Formula, we recommend following up with the Tea & Mint Natural Hand Cream. This refreshingly scented hand cream contains no parabens, silicones, colour additives or mineral oils.  After applying it, our hands felt super soft with the argan, coconut and olive oils. We recommend reapplying after every hand wash to prevent dry and cracking hands. Not to mention, the green tea extract promotes the production of collagen fibres in the hand helping to keep them young-looking. Interested in purchasing YOPE soap and hand care products? The Tea &Mint Hand Cream can be purchased here for £5.99 for 100ml. The Tea and Mint Natural Liquid Soap can be purchased here for £5.99 for 500ml, both are on special offer now, saving you £3 on each product.

Cheer up!

Maybe the sound of a natural soft drink with lavender, chamomile and lemon balm doesn’t appeal to many of you…but don't worry I was thinking exactly the same just before opening my first bottle of Lull. The girls offered it to me as a remedy to help me chillax and de-stress - obviously after seeing me clicking compulsively at my keypad three coffees down. At first, when offered a drink ‘packed with botanical extracts to soothe mind and body’, all I could think about was my grandmothers’ natural remedies, expecting a tea bag filled with questionable looking leaves dunked in lukewarm water. However, when the little white bottle was produced I was pleasantly surprised. The bottle has a clever little lid, a cross between a ring pull and beer bottle cap. This action cheered me up tremendously in the first instance; provoking thoughts of a cool beer in a warm beer garden...after that maybe you would have thought the flavour of ‘botanical extracts’, not even a hint of beer, would have disappointed me, but no! The flavour is unexpectedly delicious and smooth, lightly bubbling, with the over-riding flavours of lavender, kiwi and blackberry. I think I’m going to establish a Lull o'clock in the office, perfect for re-capping on my day and bringing a little order to my desktop …

I have also been hatching a plan to make a Chillax Cocktail by adding a little hit of voddy to my glass first...sure, this could cancel out all of the beneficial effects, but it would certainly give a delicious little lift!

Lull is currently only available from the website. Order a big pack for your office and introduce Lull o’clock….
