Because time marches on, I will very soon be turning yet another year older, as will my dearest mother (who packs all of your orders with the tissue-paper wrapping skills & cards you so love!) AND it’s Mother’s Day coming up very soon, on the 15th! …So March feels a bit monumentous in the Leafology family team!
To celebrate (and pass on the love to you loyal email readers!), I want to let you know of TWO simultaneous offers now live!
I couldn’t NOT share this joyful review from Beth (which she kindly put on facebook, google and truspilot, and which absolutely made my day/week/month). … And her ‘P.S.’ at the end feels particularly relevant, since BOTH of these things have just been released! 🥰
Word for word (with links added!):
Want to go from 🥵 to 🧊?
⬇️ Below are my top 3 recommendations for cooling down rapidly (and naturally); the things I’m personally reaching for again and again, to cool down and feel clear, clean and rejuvenated during this joyful (but not un-challenging) onslaught of SUN!
All of these come with our standard free delivery and additional surprise extras, which I know you love (because you write and tell me!)! 𓆩❤︎𓆪

(Meanwhile, I trust you already know about this.)
Ever wondered why I don’t release new products more often than I do?
(I actually highly doubt anyone truly wonders this, since the Leafology range is pretty expansive… But just in case..!)
At any given time, I might have 3-5 products for skin/hair/home that I use regularly myself, sometimes for months/years, but which I don’t actually sell yet.
When something new gets added officially to the range, I’ll therefore have usually been using it myself for quite a while in secret, beforehand.
It’s a bit like how NASA is largely believed to have about 50 years’ worth of technological advancement that we plebs aren’t privy to, which they keep under wraps. (OK, it’s not exactly like that, but you get the point).
3 reasons why I’m not releasing brand new products into the Leafology range every week (but just enough to keep things fun!):
Have you ever used a scalp scrub before?
I hadn’t, until fairly recently (instead, I wash my hair with this soothing, cleansing powder which turns to lather in my hair), but scalp scrubs are more and more in demand at the moment and can work really well for different scalp/skin types, removing any product build up, boosting circulation (good for hair growth!) and helping with dandruff/related issues.
Although I don’t suffer with any itchiness/irritation (most likely because of the aforementioned routine, thereby having cut out irritating shampoos several years ago!), I was intrigued enough to try a scalp scrub recently (with my nearest Himalayan Herbal Body Scrub), and felt quite renewed! There is something so healing about salt, and when infused with the plant oils, botanicals and softening shea butter, it’s quite the aromatherapeutic experience!
[I’m updating my ‘Rebel‘ page, a list of all Leafology products in alphabetical order, (with their various alternative, obvious and non-obvious uses), as we speak!]
Then I received an absolutely lovely email from a customer, Kim, who described herself as being on a ‘hair journey’. She said:
Hello! 🌿
I have now started keeping the 20ml-bottle version of the Sun Drops in my handbag (it’s a zinc-based mineral sun protection, roughly equating to SPF 30), but my past self of 5 days ago had not yet re-jigged my life accordingly for this new season of ACTUAL SUNSHINE, and therefore picnicked leisurely and unwittingly. It was glorious – I LOVE the sun – but my forehead paid the price. Luckily, it wasn’t a proper burn, more of a ‘warning’ (which my current self has taken heed of), and I just want to quickly rave about how well the Captain’s Charm Everything Balm sorted me out afterwards, as an aftersun.
My red-tinged forehead is now totally normal again (in fact it was fine again within 24 hours; I just applied it at night and woke up recovered!), no longer tender to the touch and not ‘tight’ feeling at all. It may be all the hemp in it – hemp is a famously healing herb – or the other 21 plant-powered ingredients. If I were to quote myself, I’d probably say something like ‘the Captain’s Charm is a one-pot-wonder to heal, restore and keep your skin looking ship-shape’. 🚢 😊👇
… But yes, although I am year-on-year, head-over-heels in love with the Sun Drops as my non-pore-blocking sun protection for face and body (it’s perfect for people who hate sunscream, or those with sensitive skin, or those who simply aren’t into squeezy plastic tubes/sprays of synthetic stuff – and even gets me compliments as the natural scent is pretty divine), I must remind you and myself that it only works if we actually put it on. 😊 ☀️☀️☀️

Excellent questions! Here’s what you need to know:
Each product is freshly made and hand-poured as part of a small batch (far smaller than any mass-produced item). In accordance with regulations, we mark them with the ‘period after opening’ symbol, indicating that they’re safe to enjoy within 12 months of your first use, and for the freshest experience of our natural plant aromas, we recommend indulging fully within that first year. That said, our stable, water-free formulations often actually remain effective and joyful far longer than our official labels indicate.
How to care for your Leafology product
To make sure your product is kept in as pure as possible a state (thereby prolonging its potential shelf life), it’s best to:
Following on from my announcement about the Leafodorant being a finalist in the ‘EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS’ category, I can also reveal that the Renaissance Cleansing powder for hair and body has been shortlisted by the Veggie Awards 2024 as a finalist in the ‘PLASTIC FREE INNOVATION’ category! 🎉
One recyclable metal tin replaces two plastic bottles (shampoo and body wash) in your shower, while refills are delivered in paper bags, with money-saving bulk buy options and free delivery within the UK.
Fingers crossed for winning – wouldn’t that be amazing?! I’ve often wished I had promoted the Renaissance more cleverly as it’s so different from anything else out there, but we’ve always just relied on word of mouth!
So yes, rather than waffle on here about the ins and outs of why I created the formulation, exactly which plants are in it and how game-changing this powder-to-lather formulation is (besides, you can discover this for yourself quite easily here), I thought I’d let some customers do the talking:
