Angela kindly sent me a few products to try so I'm going to start with the cleanser..

Cleanser, 100ml - £29

'This cleanser was handmade on a Cornish farm. Its the perfect mix of 100% organic ingredients, including pure coconut, tea trea oils and delicate rose extracts' The first thing I noticed about the cleanser (apart from the gorgeous packaging) was the scent. After reading that it contains tea-tree oils I was almost dreading the smell but thankfully theres no tea-tree scent at all, its just a really lovely, calming, spa like scent. The main thing I love about this is the 'slip' its a balm texture and unlike alot of other cleansers, it doesnt fully dry/sink into the skin and allows you to do a good facial massage before removing.

Directions for use:

Apply to face and neck. Leave for 1-2 mins then rinse off with cotton wool using either toner or water.

I dont like removing cleanser with cotton wool so as usual, I've been using a wet mit or muslin cloth. A few days before I started using this cleanser, my cheeks felt so uncomfortable and sore because of the weather and from having the heating on almost constantly, I usually have quite oily skin so was nervous about using a balm but it has been a godsend and will definately be my cleanser of choice through the winter months. My skin and lashes feel conditioned after use and it also removes makeup which is great as having to use a seperate makeup remover puts me off from even trying a cleanser. If you have skin then you need this cleanser, I really couldnt say it would only be good for one or two skin types. I'm in my 20s, my mum is in her 40s and my nan is in her 60s..It worked for all of us.

100% Organics range is certified by the Soil Association.

None of the products are tested on animals and are all vegetarian friendly.

As an oil based range, containing no water, the products are highly concentrated so a little product goes a long way. A traditional cold process is used to extract the oils which ensures that the benefical qualities of the originating plants are preserved. (100% Organics toner is the only product to contain water)

The brand was only launched in 2010 and has already won Best New Luxury Bodycare Product for their Body Butter  at the UK Beauty Awards 2010.

Has anyone tried any products from this range?
