Rose: The Queen of Flowers

In the spirit of mothers day, we have put together a bunch of 6 lovely rose treats that will make great gifts for pampering someone special!

We are also offering 10% OFF our new Rose Geranium & Pink Clay Soap till Mothers day 14th March, so if you have not tried it already, now is your chance :)

There is a saying that roses are good for the 'skin & the soul' ... Sappho the 6th century BC Greek Poet described the red rose as the "Queen Of Flowers".
We agree & have chosen a rosey selection, symbolic of love & beauty :)

Fairtrade Fortnight: what will you swop? :)

Its Fairtrade Fortnight & this year, its *The BIG Swap* swapping your usual stuff for Fairtrade, whether its coffee, tea, clothing, sugar, chocolate, oranges ... roses, bananas or skincare!
Find out more on the Fairtrade Foundation's website http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/

We think that swaps are a great positive step ... it means that you don't get left out & you get to swap with something that is better for you, other people & the planet! And ... simple swops add up to big sweeps!

The same goes for swopping your skincare to natural & more ethical alternatives.

At Akamuti, we swop chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances, petroleum & synthetic foaming agents for ingredients that are 100% natural - with an emphasis on organic & fair trade.

It means that your skin is allowed to flourish naturally & remain balanced in its own natural beauty - all without bombardment by chemical substances.

At the same time, ethical & fair trading helps empower communities worldwide, preserving traditional ways of life, encouraging sustainability & protecting natural habitats & wildlife!

Have a fun & fairtrade fortnight :)
