I came across the Ghassoul wash clay several years ago by accident. It was meant to be the most natural, skin friendly cleanser available – to me it simply looked like brown earth. I always liked to wash my face with water and never really got on with creamy cleansers that you simply wipe off. [...]
Recently I tried a new product from the Greenfibres socks range and I am really pleased with the quality and style. The fine knee high socks are long length to the knee and the knit is fine enough to give a cosy fit under high dress boots, but are equally suitable for wellies. Although I [...]
Due to having highly sensitive skin it has been near impossible for me to find a body loving bath product. So many unnatural bath products can cause allergic reactions in various ways. Such as rashes, blotching, thrush, urine tract infections, skin irritation and many more uncomfortable and some times embarrassing flare ups. The only way [...]
Well I’m back, with another raving review for essential care! This company just never fails to impress me.

And I also keep returning to the subject of how agriculture, as practiced […] […]
This blog is supposed to be “textile specific”, meaning we try to keep the topics restricted to those things that apply to the growing of fibers, or the manufacture of synthetic fibers, and the processing of those fibers into cloth. But society seems to have tunnel vision about many things, such as chemical use. Bisphenol […] […]
My toxic couch: I’d like to nominate flame retardant chemicals used in our furniture, fabrics and baby products – as well as a host of other products – as being in the running for the “new asbestos”.
