Our latest new product: Aloe & Avocado leave-in conditioner. This is new to the website but actually created about 4 years ago when I was supplying a hairdresser in France. This was her favourite and she used it on ALL her customers, to help with detangling and styling and to leave the hair nourished and sleek.

A wonderful gift from nature! You don't have to be big to be powerful. https://www.newleafnaturals.uk/product-page/organic-hypercal-tincture

Saint John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) in full flower right now. I'm harvesting for making the antiseptic tincture, which despite a big batch having been made last year, is down to the scruds and needs re-upping. Identification seems to be the issue of the day--go out in nature with someone who knows the plants and experience them first-hand. Saint John's Wort is an herb of the sun and will grow in full sun areas. In the first year, it repines. In the second year, it goes up to flower. In the third year, often, it disappears. When you squeeze a bud between your thumbnails, you're going to get a bright red exudate--that is the hypericin, part of the medicinal activity of the plant. Antiinflammatory, antidepressant, a deep-seated nervine like no other, this plant is worth knowing and incorporating into homestyle self-sufficiency.

And so it begins. Happy days in the sunshine. Plants out-performing each other in beauty and service!
1st open marigold of the season; 1st lot of rosewater already distilled; rosemary now infusing in oil. I love it!

My 2nd blog post - what a pro!

Handmade Versus Factory Made What’s the difference between a handmade natural skincare product and a product that has been made in a pharmaceuticals factory? Apart from the obvious difference between the ingredients, (see my previous post), natural products can feel and behave differently. Creams A factory-made cream is likel...

My first blog! Yes I've entered modern life...

Why Choose Natural Skincare Products? What is “wrong” with a daily skincare product you can pick up off the shelf in Boots, or Lloyds, or Superdrug, or…? Well, it’s not really about right or wrong, it’s about choice and preference, and what works for you. So the first thing I consider is does the product do what I want it to d...

Just for a change 😉 I've had to use a New Leaf product on myself. Gardeners' Question Time recommended cutting off tomato plant leaves so that was what I did, but I managed to cut mySELF with my secateurs. I'm SO impressed with Hypercal! This cut doesn't look impressive precisely BECAUSE of hypercal tincture. It's actually about 1cm long and .75cm deep, and this is as much as it bled! The photo is 5 mins after doing it. I managed to dowse it in hypercal tincture almost immediately and despite it really hurting when I did it I stopped noticing it within 2 minutes. I guess when I stop being impressed by the potency of plants is when I'll stop wanting to make products.

Currently popular for obvious reasons, our After Sun lotion is wonderfully cooling and helps prevent skin damage from sunburn. I use it at the beach, between swims, as it helps the skin to adjust to sun exposure. It smells gorgeous too! https://newleafnaturals.uk/product/after-sun-lotion/
