African Black Soap, made with Palm Ash, Tamarind Extract and Plantain Peel has been used in Africa for centuries to minimise the appearance of skin blemishes. Shea Butter, regularly used in African communities, has reported to have been used as far back as Cleopatra’s rule of Egypt.

Nubian Heritage’s African Black Soap combines Shea Butter’s hydrating properties with the soothing properties of Oats, Aloe and Cocoa Pod Ash to reduce the appearance of superficial skin imperfections. It is a deep cleansing formula providing detoxifying and exfoliation to reveal healthy-looking skin.

Maria in our Putney store says “I am so pleased with the results in my skin, after using this soap every day as face wash. My skin is oily and I have been looking for a product that would help to balance it for a long time. I am very happy I found this soap!

My skin is clean and hydrated but without the shiny and greasy appearance which oily skin types always have.  All the ingredients are very natural and free of any harsh chemicals. I think the fragrance is amazing too and highly recommended it to anyone who has combination or oily skin.”

Solgar Beta Glucans Elderberry Immune Complex

A favourite of Ioana in our Edgware store is Solgar Beta Glucans Immune Complex. This formula is comprised of ingredients shown in research to support the normal function of the immune system. This unique combination of beta 1,3/1,6 glucans, elderberry, Ester-C®, vitamin D3, zinc, copper and selenium, helps support the functioning of the immune system especially during periods where the body could be susceptible to developing an illness, such as during the winter months or stressful periods.

The top 2 ingredients:

Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides which are found in the cell wall of fungi and yeasts. They stimulate the body’s resistance to infection by helping to prime the immune system, defending itself against pathogens and foreign invaders more effectively by making the body think that it is under attack.

Elderberry works by coating the spiky bits on a virus so that it’s no longer able to penetrate and take over human cells. That virus can then be ingested by immune cells such as particularly those that have been primed for activity from previously coming into contact with beta glucans.

Ioana says: “It is my favourite product because it has all the necessary ingredients needed for a good immune system”

Weleda Ratanhia Mouthwash

Katherine in our Kingston store loves the Weleda Ratanhia Mouthwash

Weleda write that a mouth that is out of balance means sore and bleeding gums, nasty tastes and bad breath.

The mouthwash contains extracts of Ratanhia roots gathered from organic producers in the Andes of Peru. The locals in this area have traditionally used the root of this plant to clean their teeth. Naturally rich in tanning agents which protects and strengthens sore gums, this plant also has natural anti-bacterial qualities. The mouthwash also contains precious myrrh added to tone, strengthen and tighten the gums and to prevent irritation. Natural essential oils of sage, eucalyptus and peppermint deliver lasting freshness.

Add 5 to 10 drops to half a glass of lukewarm water – just rinse, spit, and get your breath back.

Katherine: “It is an all-round hygiene boost and fantastic alternative to Corsodyl! This Peruvian root, combined with oral favourite Myrrh essential oil, helps keep gums healthy, as well as reducing the pain and healing time of mouth ulcers!”

MAG365 Magnesium Powder

Another favourite in at least 2 of our stores is MAG365 Magnesium Powder. Andrea in our Watford store and Joanna in Putney highly recommend these products.

Andrea says it always manages to help her relax after a long day. “A small amount in the evening and I sleep like a baby. It is also fantastic to help with recovery after exercising. I particularly enjoy the lemon flavour”

Joanna in Putney recommends MAG365 Bone Formula – this is the original Magnesium powder with vitamins and minerals. Joanna says “I call it: My perfect minimum. Perfect because of the combination of vitamins and minerals.  Minimum because this is the most important thing I like to take every single day for to make sure I’m absorbing the calcium which I obtain from my diet. Vitamin. D3 should always be taken together with K2. Again perfect for me because this product contains the best Vitamin K for the right absorption -MK7.

Finally perfect and minimum because there are 8 nutrients, all of which work synergistically, so there are a lot of more benefits.

The magnesium is also ionic which is a great form of magnesium. I like to drink it hot instead of a cup of tea during the day. Sometimes warm with even some more lemon and honey. And cold – after my workout.

MAG365 Magnesium supplement is a powder with a highly bio-available active ingredient magnesium citrate. It is all natural and contains no fillers. Magnesium is foundational to good health and used in over 300 body processes, but most commonly used as it helps promote a better sleep and a natural calm effect.

Also available in Plain or Passion Fruit flavour, Plus Calcium, and for Kids ranges
