Christmas Gift Guide: Lyonsleaf

Lyonsleaf make natural skincare products using ingredients they grow on their own farm in the Mendip Hills in Somerset.

Created by husband & wife duo Vicky & Ben Lyons, Lyonsleaf have grown from strength to strength since they started up in 2010. I remember meeting them at the Love Natural Love Organic show when they’d just started the company so it’s amazing to see how many more products they’ve added since and how much the brand has grown.

Lyonsleaf Skincare | This Natural Bee Christmas Gift Guides 2017

After starting out as a food and herb business, selling the produce they grew on the farm to local restaurants and at farmers markets, they decided to start selling some of the beauty products they’d been making as a hobby on the market stalls too. The products were an instant hit with customers and soon had people returning as the products had worked wonders for treating their eczema and psoriasis.

Lyonsleaf now have a small but perfectly formed range of products and gift sets that are handmade using natural and organic ingredient that are free from preservatives. They have a lovely range of gift sets that would be perfect for Christmas.

The Face & Body Set features a Beauty Balm, Body Butter, a flannel and two muslin cloths. The beauty balm is my favourite product from Lyonsleaf and I particularly enjoy using it as a cleanser. It works to balance my skin thanks to the palmarosa and clary sage, but it doesn’t strip my skin or over-moisturise it. The body butter is made with shea butter, coconut oil, avocado oil and almond oil which melt down once warmed on the skin to nourish and rid of dry skin.

Two gift sets that feature face products are the Face Saviour Set and the Hot Cloth Cleanser Set. Both have a Beauty Balm, muslin cloth(s) and flannel inside but the Face Saviour features a Calendula Cream which is an essential if you suffer from eczema, psoriasis or severely dry skin as calendula has amazing healing and regenerating properties. It is one of Lyonsleaf’s best-sellers and won Gold at the Free From Awards in 2014 for Problem Skin.

The ultimate treat for someone special is the Complete Skincare Set where you’ll find a full-size Body Butter, Beauty Balm, Soap and Calendula Cream as well as a flannel and muslin cloth. One of each of their best-sellers to make sure every inch of you is kept free from dry skin through the winter months! The perfect treat to introduce someone to Lyonsleaf, or a pick-me-up treat for yourself during the festive season.

You’ll find a lovely range of products on the Lyonsleaf website, including sample sizes and their new facial oils. Lyonsleaf have also given me an exclusive discount code for my readers – use code AMBER at checkout for 15% off all products, including those on sale (sale sending soon!).
