My sheets have stopped complaining
I've tried oils that sit on you like cling film. This one is gone in a minute and my legs stay soft until the next shower. The cardamom smell is quietly expensive.

Converted, reluctantly
Bought it for my girlfriend, now I'm the one using it after the gym. No greasy shirt, no perfume-counter smell. Annoyingly good.

Glow, minus the slip
Lovely on damp skin straight out of the shower. In January my shins still want the Body Cream as well, but for everywhere else this is it.

Questions
Before you ask
Anything else: a real person answers, usually within the hour.
Will it mark my clothes or sheets?
On damp skin it absorbs in about a minute, so give it that minute before you dress. Seven light oils, nothing heavy left behind.
Can I use it every day?
Every day, after every shower if you like. On very dry areas, layer it over the Body Cream.
When will it arrive?
Every order is made for you, which takes two working days, and then arrives in four to seven working days in the UK. Delivery is free over £45.
Can I send it back?
Yes, within 60 days, even opened. Write to us and we will tell you how; the refund goes back to the card you paid with.
What is the sample?
Every order brings a small sample from the range, chosen to go with what is in your bag.
How does it go with the rest?
An oil, a serum and a cream: the whole shelf. The set on this page puts them in your bag together, for less than buying them singly.
What does COSMOS mean?
COSMOS is an independent standard for natural and organic cosmetics: it checks where every ingredient comes from and how the formula is made.
