Relax in an aromatherapy bath and feel the stress of the run up to Christmas fade away as you enjoy the calming essential oils. Taking a little time out to take care of yourself this year, can make things so much more manageable at this busy time of year. I have never heard a client saying that they regret taking time for themselves to recharge, but I often hear them saying that they come the bottom of the list when it comes to taking ‘me’ time and then they start to struggle as they are tired.

We are very proud to introduce a new product for Christmas 2016 our Gardeners & Cooks soap. Customers were asking for a soap that was both citrus and exfoliant, and so here it is!
The soap is still very gentle on skin using our traditional and fully natural/organic soap base of organic olive oil, coconut, palm (sustainable) and sunflower oils. It is a hard cake of soap with a soft lather, which lasts and lasts and doesn’t turn into jelly (unless left sitting in water of course). It contains essential oils of lemon and lime, which are excellent for using in a kitchen environment, as well as the bathroom. They provide a refreshing, cleansing fragrance and are reputed to have disinfectant and antiseptic properties.

Welcome to another of Organica J’s Top Ten Uses! This week we will be focusing on 10 helpful uses for Lime essential oil. Its one of the oils that we are using in a new product that we are launching next month and it is a very handy oil to have.
Many of the uses are similar to lemon essential oil, in fact it is often used its place. I find that both essential oils have their place in different situations.
We use lime essential oil in our very popular Gardeners & Cooks Soap. It is a perfect addition for its protective qualities.

At this time of year and we are either exposed more to the sun here in the UK or are also heading abroad for a holiday in the sun. Our skin can need extra care at these times. Many ask me about skin that has been in the sun too long and has sunburn. You can easily create your own aftersun blend to take on holiday with you or just use at home.
