The New Naturals

Has the recession stopped small companies in their tracks? Not when those companies are making pure, organic skincare. Daisy Bridgewater discovers why we care more than ever about what we slather on our skin.

Page three - purists

Hand-made in harmony with the lunar cycle on a farm in Cornwall, the organic skincare range by Spiezia Organics was the first to be accredited 100% organic by the Soil Association. Locally grown herbs and flowers are macerated in glass jars filled with olive oil to form the components of many of their balms, oils and ointments. The results are good enough to eat. So they should be, says co-owner Amanda Barlow. ‘The skin is our biggest organ and can absorb up to 2kg of chemicals a year from skincare products.’ With their ‘made for life’ philosophy, the company strives for purity, right down to their packaging, which is made from 100% recycled glass on site at the farm.
Hero Product: Facial Cleanser (£21.55 50ml). A heady blend of organic essential oils, including Eucalyptus and Clary Sage, which decongests pores and regulates sebum production.
