THREE OF THE BEST
Handy option
Ecooking is one of the fastest growing beauty organic brands in Denmark, and they’ve just launched a bunch of new products including Micellar Water (£25) and Self Tanning Mousse (£25). We especially like this bumper-sized 500ml bottle of hand soap with benefits. It features a citrus, white pepper and violet scent, but also little grains of lava stone, to very gently exfoliate, and aloe vera and cucumber extract, which condition the skin. Therapeutic for paws that are tired of being scrubbed and coated in alcohol hand gel. Hey good looking.

Hit of citrus
If you need your mood lifted, the people at Atelier Cologne recommend their fragrance collection of Sunny Citruses, which include the juicy Orange Sanguine or Pomelo Paradis. However, the unisex Pacific Lime cologne is truly transporting, with a mellow take on this citrus fruit (think mojito, not cleaning product) as well as coconut, spearmint and eucalyptus, to make your mouth water. As with all this brand’s perfumes, which are served in simple, lozenge-shaped bottles, it has great longevity – unusual for a citrus.

And breathe
This gift from Made
For Life features gentle products suitable for anyone going through cancer, though it’s also rather nice for those feeling generally overwhelmed. The largest products in the box are the fresh-smelling overnight Hair & Scalp Treatment Oil 100ml, with nettle, thyme and burdock, and the glorious Skin Solve Blend 50ml, with a melting texture and lavender scent. There are also 10ml minis of the Rejuvenating Face Oil with rose and vanilla, an Age Well Intensive Moisturising Balm and Soothe and Nourish Lip Balm. Perfect for those wanting to feel cocooned.
