NISKAMA Skincare: Dry Skin Relief Body Balm

Cornish NISKAMA Skincare had been on my radar but I'd never got round to trying it until their luxe Dry Skin Relief Body Balm 50g worth £6.50 appeared my my November Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box (link)

The range is lovingly handcrafted by founder and formulator, Sylwia, a pharmacist and natural skincare lover and the ranges are made in Cornwall. Packaging is recyclable or re-useable and the range is free from SLS, SLES, methylisothiazolinone, methylchloroisothiazolinone, parabens, lanolin, phthalates, propylene glycol, alcohol (ethyl alcohol, ethanol), harsh foaming agents, irritating emulsifiers, synthetic fragrance, PABA-sunscreen, colourants, petrochemicals, urea, DEA, TEA or PEGs.

The body balm is an absolute delight! It's formulated with organic butter, raw coconut oil, Vitamin E and lavender and ylang ylang essential oils and melts instantly on contact with warm skin. The scent's incredibly lovely and the balm is perfect for dry skin. 

To use: massage over the body for an instant nourishing boost, you can also melt it in your palm before applying the the skin. Use as a lip balm or on cuticles. I've also used a small amount to tame flyaways.

I'd asked Sylwia on Social Media if there was a chance of refills and she said she'd definitely investigate that! 

I picked up their Mini Starters Kit which is currently on buy 2 get one free! It would make an excellent small gift or secret santa! A review will be forthcoming. Sylwia is taking a well earned break so get your orders in before the 14th!

Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box: Sleep Retreat: November 2019

The Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box went bi-monthly after the July Box which means you'll now get a box in January, March, May, July, September and November). So something to look forward to when January is long, you're skint and it's cold!

November's box "Sleep Retreat" is absolutely fantastic and one of my favourite boxes this year. Nestled inside are 3 new to me brands (yes, really!). And now for a closer look...

WOW just WOW!

From new to me brand, Lunar & Lux we have their Mama Moon Botanical Candle (£8.99) which apart from looking exquisite smells glorious. It's scented with Lavender and chamomile and contains a rose crystal quartz which has been charged and cleansed with sage under the full moon. I'm looking forward to burning it (I also love the crackly wooden wick!)

From yet another new to me brand Haoma (squeals) we have a handmade bar of Lavender Soap (£8). I love the minimal packaging too. You can use this on hands, body and face. A review will be forthcoming. It smells glorious.

The final new-to-me brand is NISKAMA which is handcrafted in Cornwall in small batches. Inside is their Dry Skin Relief Body Balm with Lavender and Ylang Ylang 50g (£6.50). It's packed full of nourishing butters and oils and delicately scented with lavender and ylang ylang. It's gorgeous!

I've used these gorgeous Bath Salts for Inner Peace by ila spa many times. Inside is 200g bag which is worth £20. These take bathing to another level. Stress and anxiety is gone and in its place is calmness and serenity. I'm grateful to have them back in my stash!

Last, but no means least is Ezape Naturals newest launch their Ylang Ylang & Lavender Body Oil 50ml (£13). I've got one of these I bought, one from another beauty box and now this one! It's a lush blend of skin loving oils scented with Ylang Ylang and Lavender. It's perfect for my very dry winter skin. A review to come!
