April Love Lula Picks

I picked some fabulous products from Love Lula this month.

October Empties

Here are the products I used up last month.

Review: Madara Organic Skincare

Madara are a Latvian company with ECOCERT status who have made great waves in natural beauty circles for their organic products using Nordic plants, herbs and oils. They do face, body and hair products as well as a baby range. Some of their products contain honey and beeswax so are not suitable for vegans but those reviewed below are all vegan.

Review: Alva Crystal Deo Intensive Spray

Recently I have been trying the Crystal Deo Intensive Spray from Alva. They are a German company established in 1998 and distributed in the UK from 2007. They have their own UK website and are also for sale at Only Naturals, a leading seller of natural and organic skincare brands, who provided me with this sample for review.

This deodorant is vegan and 100% natural with 26% of the ingredients coming from organic farming. Alva are certified by Ecocert and cruelty-free.

Review: Green Woman Fit Pit Deodorant

Recently I have been trying a natural deodorant made by The Green Woman which is based in Shropshire. Reading up on the background of the company, I discovered it was created by 2 sisters and they give 10% of their profits to charity including Breast Cancer UK (a leaflet about the link between chemicals and breast cancer was included with my sample). I thought the product came in what looked like a jam jar and sure enough I saw a post on the GW blog which told of their initiative to rescue hotel jam jars from landfills and reuse them. They take 100-200 from one hotel alone each week. I was both staggered and impressed by this fantastic recycling plan. 

 Fit Pit is an organic, handmade, vegan deodorant, free of aluminium, parabens and BPAs. The range has men and women's deodorant plus a sensitive skin variation.
