ORGANii’s four new shower gels are concentrated, mild formulas suitable for the whole family. Based on barley stem water which, while mild and non-irritating, helps fight infections, gently exfoliates and controls oil secretion, natural and organic extracts are also included for their scent and skincare benefits. Tropical Shower Gel is fruity and refreshing, containing organic peach extract, minerals, vitamin C-rich organic mango extract; Citrus Shower Gel stimulates and refreshes and is great for oily and acne-prone skin; Nourishing Shower Gel is high in fatty acids, with organic sweet almond oil to help skin retain moisture; Neutral Shower Gel is a fragrance-free mild formula, making it ideal for those with sensitive and allergy-prone skin. The gels are made with 100% natural ingredients, are certified COSMOS Organic by the Soil Association and hold The Vegan Society and PETA cruelty-free logos.
Well&Truly has revealed its sweeter side with the launch of a new range of vegan and ethical chocolate. The bars, which are made with an oat milk base and Colombian cocoa, are initially available in three flavours: Oat M&lk, Salted Caramel and Caramelised Hazelnuts. “The popularity of oat milk has sky-rocketed over the last year,” comments Sara Trechman, co-founder of Well&Truly. “Consumers looking for dairy-free chocolate, which is still indulgent, have turned to oat milk products to satisfy their taste buds, with sales surging more than 70%. Existing plant-based chocolate options to date have mainly consisted of high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 50% or more. Now, due to oat milk’s creamy consistency, plant-based consumers can indulge in a range of milk chocolates too.” The Well&Truly bars are wrapped in fully recyclable plastic-free packaging.
Aromatherapy lifestyle brand Scentered has introduced three new sleep-focused products to incorporate into a relaxing bedtime routine: Restorative Silk Sleep Set; Soft-Touch Luxury Spa Bathrobe; and Body, Bath & Shower Sleep Well Wellbeing Ritual Oil.

The oil is a blend of beneficial base oils combined with high quality essential oils. The base oil combines safflower, jojoba and peach kernel oil, that are rich in fatty acids and vitamin E to replenish moisture, elasticity and suppleness to the skin. Packaged in a frosted etched glass bottle, the family-friendly formula is safe to use from birth, as well as being safe for pregnant and lactating women.
