The high levels of Zinc, help improve skin tone and keep your skin free of blemishes and acne.
Hair Suitability
Like Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin is rich in enzymes which inhibit 5-alpha in the scalp. For hair loss, this is very useful as too much 5-alpha slows or stops hair growth and thus the addition of Pumpkin to a haircare products helps to ensure healthy, luscious hair.
The Omega 3 / 6 antioxidant content of Pumpkin gives protection to the hair follicle, helping prevent split ends and being an excellent additive to formulations for haircare products intended for dry and damaged hair.

Let customers speak for us
Been using this for some time now - nothing else comes close
This moisturiser glides on one’s face very easily indeed. The aroma from it is heavenly. It’s easy to apply with a comtrollable pump.
I am enjoying this facial cleanser. It has a pump applicator which gives one control over the amount of cleanser which one wants to use, it glides onto a wet face very easily. I think it will last me quite a long time. It leaves my face feeling refreshed without a stripped feeling. Would definitely recommend it purchase and use,
This moisturiser is quite thick but glides oh ones face both smoothly and easily, it’s perfume is gorgeous. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks but can already feel and see a difference in my facial skin.
I think this is now the only wax melt I'll ever use! It's such a lovely scent, the house smells amazing!
This moisturiser is soothing and smells absolutely amazing. I am a gardener and it helps restore my hands especially.
These diffusers are gorgeous. I decanted the oil into small bud vases and have them dotted around the house. The scents are lovely and the little flowers diffusers are so beautiful. They turn golden with the oil. A really lovely item which would make a lovely gift too.
This repellent spray is AMAZING. I use it on my three dogs and not an insect or fly around them. They’ve also not had any ticks or fleas this year which is a god send. Highly recommend this product and much superior to anything else on the market.
I purchased a bottle of this amazing product at a recent event I attended. After one use I could see the difference, my skin had this beautiful natural glow and the serum literally melted into my skin it felt and looked so smooth. I cannot believe how good this serum is. It's also a perfect make up base, my BB cream went on like a dream! Oh and another positive, I was told my skin looked amazing on a teams call in work at 45 what a compliment 😊. Seriously, I think this serum could easily give some of the higher priced skincare products a run for their money and win. I'm looking forward to seeing the long term results if the short term results are anything to go by. Give this serum a try it really is worth it. Thank you Rebecca your knowledge and passion is wonderful ❤️
I generally use this as my night cream, but in the winter month's when the heating is on all the time my skin gets really dry and dehydrated in area's need the extra help during the day and it smells divine.
As I have an oily skin my skin can look dull and clogged at times, this product does as it says on the tin (glass jar :) ) it gently removes build up on my skin and leaving me brightened and glowing.
I use this mainly as a toner, but also to mix up my mask. Love the fragrance light and fresh .
Wash off cleanser’s I have used in the past strip my skin making it even more oily and very sensitive. This product doesn’t! it cleansed my skin gently leaving it balanced. I use it with Alpine elixir, perfect combo!!
Amazing day moisturiser for my oily skin, hydration without the heavy feel. It leaves my skin feeling soft and smells amazing x
Love this product! Removes all my makeup and leaves my oily skin clean and fresh.
