Fab Find of the Week: Nourish Body Creams

Rich, nourishing creams, ideal for winter-parched skin. TICK!

Heavenly scents. TICK!

100% natural and organically certified by the Soil Association. Certified cruelty-free and vegan-approved, too. TICK, TICK, TICK!

These luscious new creams from Nourish London couldn’t have landed on our desks at a better time. We’ve (albeit slightly tentatively) had the central heating turned up, and the skin on our bodies has been complaining: dry, flaky, a little bit on the itchy side. (In Jo’s case, she was lucky enough to get some winter sun, and that had taken its toll, too.)

There are two to choose from – and frankly, we can barely choose between them. So, here’s the low-down on both…

Bergamot & Cardamom Smoothing Body Cream/£17 for 100ml. smells fresh, feels quenching, thanks to cocoa butter, aloe, borage and firming brown algae, offering really long-lasting hydration and comfort, together with trehalose – an ingredient that mimics the skin’s NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor). If our skin could talk, you’d hear it going, ‘ahhhhh, thanks…’

Jasmine & Geranium Contouring Body Cream/£17 for 100ml. A slightly different formula, but it really feels very similar, in this case infused with shea butter, prickly pear (high in omega-6 and 9 EFAs).

Both formulas feature hyaluronic acid, our favourite skin-quenching ingredient, and both smooth really easily into skin, rather than requiring lots of massage (as some natural creams do). We’ve long been fans of Nourish London’s creator-founder Dr. Pauline Hili, who has 30 years’ experience working with natural ingredients – but she’s really excelled herself, here.

And they’re not stupid prices, either. We’ve almost run out of ticks, but… TICK!
