Peel appeal

Since contracting what seems to be a never-ending cold, I’ve been scoffing all the citrus fruits I can. But I’d never given any thought to what happens to the peel once I chucked it into the compost bin. Turns out it takes ages to biodegrade, with China incinerating 10 million tonnes of mandarin peel a year.

Luckily the clever bods at Dr Craft are using this waste product to create a new sustainable mandarin skincare line that’s rich in anti-inflammatory antioxidants. Prices from £18.
