Welcome to the Natural Alternative Products Summer Offers.

Keep reading for news, tips and special offers to save you money; and find us on facebook to stay updated with all of our latest products.

Mosquitos and Malaria

Malaria has been in the news recently when celebrity singer Cheryl Cole got infected on a recent trip to Africa. What you might not know is that approximately 3 million people die annually from this disease – including a small number of Britons. Malaria occurs mainly in sub-tropical areas of the world including large parts of Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Americas.

If you’re concerned, prevention is better than cure, and you should consult your doctor before travelling and prepare yourself with mosquito nets and repellents. We sell a large number of all-natural, chemical free prevention methods including Natural Patches, incognito Mosquito Spray and Citronella Essential Oil.

Whether you’re concerned about malaria or just want to stop annoying bites, we have a natural solution for you!

Buy 2 15 day packs of patches and get a free 7 day pack and a free suntan lotion!

As well as stocking a great new range of products, we have also started a brand new website focussed on the Summer, Festival and Travel market. Check us out at www.natural-travel-products.co.uk

Sun burn prevention

Ok, we’ll be the first to admit that we haven’t had the best summer, but we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a hot August! But if you’re jetting off on holiday, you’ll want to keep you, your family and the kids safe.

We all know that your high street brands of sun tan lotion work. However, did you know that most sun tan lotions contain petrochemicals, synthetic preservatives, and a whole host of other nasty ingredients? What if there was a range of sun tan lotions which were just as effective, made using all natural ingredients and processes – luckily for you, there is!

We sell a wide variety of chemical-free sunscreens which have a range of different protections, for kids and adults, from some of the leading manufacturers including JASONGreen People, Soleo and UVNatural.

Personal Care

Along with the hot weather comes that sticky, uncomfortable feeling, and let’s face it, we’re all going to sweat more. We have a fantastic product from Hawaii: Body Mints. This is a food supplement, as featured on CNN, which really works to combat body odours, halitosis and perspiration. Read more on our website.

We also have a range of all-natural deodorants, a more traditional solution to your summer needs, from award winning manufacturers like Lavera and Urtekram.

Dry Skin and Anti-Ageing Solutions

In the Summer months it is especially important to treat your largest organ right – your skin! The sun can really dry out your skin, as you spend more time outdoors and less time sheltering from the rain. Check our website for a plethora of solutions; a few of our bestsellers include:

Hope’s Relief Cream – a great product from Australia which is ideal for those with dry skin, eczema, psoriasis or just sensitive skin. There are no petrochemicals and is ideal for everyday use for adults and kids alike.

OG Ireland Natural Peat Face and Body Mask – as featured on This Morning by Dr Chris – this really is the latest solution; we are currently the only UK website supplying the domestic market – we’ve had great feedback from some of our customers already who are singing its praises. Simply apply, leave for 10 minutes and wash off – you’ll be surprised at the results.

Soap is one of the prime causes of dry skin and can be harmful for those with eczema. There are many steroidal products available for your pharmacy, but you may also want to consider our Silvatec Cleansing Bar with antimicrobial protection and vitamin E – many of our customers swear by it. We don’t want to blind you with science, but it contains silver ion technology and comes at a great low price; read more on our website.

For our HUGE range of anti-aging creams and skincare products, have a look at our sister website over at My Ageless Lifestyle.

Superfoods

You may have heard açai berries mentioned in the news recently, but not know what they do or what makes them a superfood. Simply put, a superfood contains high level of nutrients conferring a range of different health benefits. The açai berry is high in antioxidants which studies have shown may protect against cancer and other diseases: a like-for-like serving has much more than apple, orange or cranberry juice.

Our açai is sourced directly from Brazil – unlike other websites, we have a direct line to our Brazilian supplier, which means that our açai is 100% pure – you know what you’re getting. Our Pulpa Store website contains a huge range of superfoods, supplements and nutritional foods. Check our offers!

Don’t forget…

If you’re getting on a plane, you’ll need some transparent bags to put your toiletries and liquids in. These can be bought at the airport – you get two of these little bags for £1… Our tip: plan ahead and get ten bags for the low price of 50p!

For a limited time only: enter the Discount Code ‘Summer’ at our checkout for 5% off your order!

100% Organic Balm Balm Facial

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

This facial routine is a little bit different to the myriad facial skincare available.
 
Very few if any facial products today are 100% Organic. To achieve our 100% status we at Balm Balm have had to forgo creams, lotions, gels & clays – the ‘expected’ content of a facial routine.

But YOU CAN Cleanse Tone & Nourish your skin without these ingredients and that is exactly what we have done at Balm Balm.

WHY though, should we want our facial routine to be so different?

BECAUSE creams, lotions and gels require non organic additives to stabilize and preserve them due to their water content and clays are minerals, the use of which, deplete our earth’s resources.
 
For Balm Balm products, we want none of this. Using Balm Balm’s gentle 100% organic facial regime allows your skin to return to its’ naturally vibrant condition – the way it should be.

There are NO down sides to caring for your skin in this way just a change of mind set.

The absence of water, stabilisers, emulsifiers and preservatives allow these products to simply do what they say they will without confusing the natural balance of your skin.

The 100% Organic Balm Balm Facial is a breath of fresh air. It returns us to traditional ways of caring for our skin that showed in our mothers and grandmothers’ ‘peachy’ complexions before skincare became so complicated.

This regime will not be for all – but for those who are yearning for something that will not irritate or interfere with their skin’s natural function and will not dry, clog or force-feed their skin, this will be the end of their search and a beginning of something simple & effective.
