A look at some of our Christmas products

We're in full swing getting ready for the Christmas rush, so we thought we'd show you a few of our products being made.

Tony's been with us for exactly 5 years, but hates being in front of a camera. We'll catch him out one of these days, but in the meantime, watch these YouTube videos to see how everything we make is done by hand, with care and with love.

We've always loved making soy candles in star tins, so this year, as well as our Frankincense Star Candles, we've decided to make our popular Mandarin and Cinnamon as star tins for an extra Christmas Cheer. Once lit, these will fill your room with the smell of spices and tangerines that will last for hours and hours.

For those of you who have children and pets so are a little anxious about having candles around the house, our Organic Reed Diffusers are a safe, no-flame alternative. We use the same essential oils as in the candles, and you can "regulate" the amount of scent released by using fewer reeds. Use less reeds for a smaller room or to make the scent last longer.

When you're out and about to escape a family argument after Christmas, or just to clear your head the morning after, our Organic Peppermint Lip Balm will ensure your lips aren't damaged by the cold or damp. Made from organic sweet almond oil, you'll taste as good as you smell too, so watch the mistletoe!

Our newest product is just a must for the kitchen or wherever you have a wash basin. Once your friends and family have used it, I can guarantee they'll never look at another hand wash in the same way. Lime and ginger make a perfect combination and thoroughly clean your hands while leaving your skin soft and silky and the organic olive oil base is suitable even for the most sensitive skin.

Hi I'm Matt

Hi I'm Matt the new IT Apprentice,

I've been working on the new Trade website for all you traders out there. The trade site should be online any time soon and at first you may find a few bugs but all we ask is that you report these bugs and we will sort them out as soon as we can.

While I've worked at Essentially Natural I have had first hand experience with the soaps, candles and bodycare products and they all smell wonderful, I enjoy the smell of the Orange & Lemongrass candle because it great .

I like the aspect that all the products are made on site and none have any toxins.

It is very enjoy working at Essentially Natural, everyone here is pleasant and always welcoming, and it is very interesting working with someone that cannot see because everything you do is different you have to tell Dennis everything you are doing so that he knows. The only bad thing about this is he has the best hearing in the world and when my phones on vibrate he knows I'm using my phone =P

Matt
