BEAUTIFUL BOTANICALS

Green skincare is having a moment

It wasn’t long ago that we were scrunching up our noses at the words ‘green’ or ‘organic’ on a label. Some products were just a bit too clean. But when new-wave natural brands Tata Harper and May Lindstrom launched eight years ago, they changed opinions. With silky smooth textures, and formulations as good as their non-green rivals, they put eco-friendly products firmly on the beauty map – and we stocked up our bathroom shelves. Now a new generation of botanicals follows in their footsteps, but this time it’s the packaging that had us at hello. Fuelled by the Instagram-friendly generation, they’re sleek, chic and ooze elegance. It’s not just us who have fallen for them, either: Seattle-based Herbivore’s fans include Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts. We defy you not to splurge on one of our picks.
