JUST THE SUPERTONIC: Odylique Calming Rose Super Tonic, 50ml £15

Vegan, Soil Association Organic Certified, PETA Cruelty-free, 100% Natural ingredients, Recyclable packaging.

This exceptionally-calming rose ‘supertonic’ is just what your skin is crying out for this summer. Although this is classified as a ‘toner’ the blend of nurturing organic ingredients (including Calendula and a special combination of Rose Waters) is multi-functional, providing skin with mild moisturising properties, making this the perfect companion for summer, or your first adventure away from home after a long lockdown.

This toner contains no added water, so the skin can benefit fully from Odylique’s special concentrated distillation Rose Petal Hydrolat, fortified with precious Rose Otto Essential oil, which also balances the skin’s natural acid mantle.

Packed with Antioxidant Polyphenols and Phytonutrients, it is highly effective at uplifting your senses, and may be particularly suitable for skin prone to flushing in heat.

As Odylique’s products are made with allergies in mind, this tonic is gentle on skin, and great for cleansing the skin before a morning work-out, replacing any lost moisture in the new-found heat of summer, or for balancing an uneven complexion.

THE COMPLETE TREAT FOR HANDS: Silvan Skincare Hand Cream, Marshmallow and Calendula, 50ml £12

Vegan Society registered, Certified cruelty-free under the Leaping Bunny Programme, made with 100% Plant-based, Natural and Organic ingredients, Free-from parabens, silicones and mineral oils, hand made. Recyclable packaging.

As we venture back into ‘the outside world’ from lockdown, our hands will suffer from a high level of sanitising. Gently hydrate dry or cracked cuticles with Silvan’s beautiful fast-absorbing Hand Cream, enriched with healing Calendula. Made by hand in small batches in the Welsh borders by professional massage therapist, Marian Hardiman, this luxe hand salve soothes and protects – a little goes a long way. Packed with a blend of nourishing Shea Butter, Organic Marshmallow Root, Rosemary and reparative Calendula, this gorgeous smelling cream moisturises the skin, restores elasticity, helps to maintain natural moisture in the skin, and the addition of Cedarwood gives it natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties.

These natural ingredients have been blended with their various natural properties in mind, for protection, soothing, and feeding the skin with extra nutrients, as well as to promote the deepest state of relaxation in body and mind.

THE UPLIFTING AWARD-WINNER: Terre Verdi NeroliPom Moisturiser, 50ml £41

Soil Association COSMOS Organic Certified, Cruelty-free approved under the Leaping Bunny Programme, made with 100% Natural ingredients, recyclable packaging. (refills available)

At this time of year[April-June], on sun-flooded hills, the Neroli and Pomegranate flowers come into bloom. We love reflecting the seasons in our skincare with the unisex NeroliPom Moisturiser; an uplifting blend of florals with soothing Aloe Vera and balancing Camellia Oil. Pomegranate Seed Oil brings a delicious warm scent of summer, and is a strong antioxidant, working to protect the skin against pollution and environmental aggressors.

This lightweight and hydrating, Vitamin E-rich Moisturiser is formulated for all skin types, but particularly suits dry, sensitive or maturing skin. It absorbs easily, is deeply soothing, and can help target fine lines and balance problem skin – we’re not surprised this product has won several awards.

It comes in a [recyclable] glass biophotonic bottle, ensuring the product is protected from damaging parts of the light spectrum, and is kept fresher and more potent for longer.
