It is highly nutritious and packed-full of nutrients, essential vitamins, amino acids and minerals as well as anti-ageing antioxidants. Manuka Honey also has special qualities that not only work as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin, but also contain a unique active component derived from the Manuka plant, which makes Manuka Honey one of the most biologically active and beneficial honeys for the health and beauty of the skin. This special New Zealand honey also provides antimicrobial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits, possesses the ability to stimulate wound healing and also exfoliates and cleanses the skin, naturally. Last, but by no means least, although Manuka Honey has a potent antibacterial action it is gentle on the skin, with research supporting its benefits for treating sensitive skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis.

Nourishing Hand Cream is also now available in a smaller, 50ml purse version; ideal for handbags and for salon clientele wishing to take the product with them, when theyre out and about this winter.

Nourishing Hand & Body Cream (rrp 18.40 for 200mls): for use on the body, hands and feet, this ultra-pampering blend of natural goodness, primarily derived from Active Manuka Honey, helps keep skin looking and feeling its very best, especially for those prone to dry skin during the winter months.

Nourishing Body Wash (rrp 13.80 for 200ml): an ultra-nourishing body wash with the delightful infusion of nutrients, derived from some of New Zealands unique botanicals, to naturally cleanses the skin, replenish it with essential hydration and help restore its inner radiance and outer beauty.

Nourishing Body Bar (rrp 6.40 for 125g): for those that prefer cleansing body bars to shower gels or washes, this luxurious blend of Olive and Coconut oils, as well as organic Shea Butter and delicately-fragranced Kowhai petals, gently cleanses dirt and impurities from the skin but without stripping away the skins protective oils. It also provides deep-down nourishment to help keep skin soft, supple and smooth all winter long.

Made from the highest quality ingredients from clean, unpolluted New Zealand, all Living Natures nourishing body care products are certified natural by BDIH Germany, a world-leading independent auditor of natural

You will love the Cream Cinnamon and Orange Organic Soap

Journalist | October 2, 2011

No scent captures the essence of a crisp, cosy winter quite like spicy cinnamon and zesty orange. Connoisseurs of fine, organic soaps, Sodasan, have brought out this new winter warmer fragrance so we can all experience a hint of uplifting luxury when we need it most during those cold, dark winter days.

Perfect as a treat for you, a gorgeous gift for a friend or to add a touch of luxury to the home, Sodasan Organic Cream Cinnamon and Orange Soap is set to be a cult winter classic which will trigger many precious memories of winters gone by.

The unique comforting aroma is released as the distinctive moisturising creamy lather forms. Free from synthetic fragrances, the warm, invigorating scent is made from pure natural essential oils, and the skin-softening creaminess comes from ethically-sourced shea butter. Unlike most soaps, cleansing with Sodasan organic cream soap does not dry out the skin, even when used every day.

Sodasan Organic Cream Soap is made in the traditional method using open batch kettles, ensuring that the beneficial properties of the essential oils and quality organic ingredients are not lost in its making.

Ideal for people with sensitive and allergy-prone skin, all soaps in the Sodasan range are vegetarian and vegan-friendly. Only vegetable oils from controlled biological cultivation are used by Sodasan who support Fair Trade projects in the third world.

Nine opulent scents make up Sodasans Organic Cream range including Sandalwood, Wild Roses and Almond.

Stockist: Available from www.pravera.co.uk. Priced at 2.45 for a 100g bar.

The philosophy behind Sodasan is to create natural alternatives for people who want to make responsible and ethical choices and to avoid polluting the environment during their manufacture and after their use.

The use of palm and coconut oil from third world countries is increasingly being criticised as it is linked to the poor working and living conditions of rural workers. Sodasan exclusively uses vegetable oils from controlled biological cultivation to obtain the fats necessary for manufacturing soaps. Currently Sodasan is working together with the Colombian project Daabon Organic. This project has several certifications such as ECOCERT, FAIR-TRADE and RAINFOREST ALLIANCE.

Sodasan products are free from synthetic preservatives and fragrances
