Home Spas - Maddi Alexander luxurious ethical body products


Ever wanted to bathe with rose petals floating around you?
Sprinkle a handful of Maddi Alexander’s Bath Soak in a hot bath and watch the dried rose petals and lavender flowers blossom. This bath soak combines hand crumbled cold processed soap with oatmeal, cornflour, sea salt, powdered orange peel and moisturising shea butter. 

It comes in two fragrances but one price £22:
Serene – A blend of geranium and lavender to de-stress and relax.
Frivolous – Uplifting combination of Sicilian lemon, bergamot, sweet orange, ginger and cloves to get you in the party mood.

And of course light a few candles in the same fragrance to give an overall sense of well being and serenity whilst relaxing in the bath. Price £28. These are hand poured using natural vegetable wax combined with natural, organic and fair traded essential oils and cotton wick to give the purest product.
Step out of the bath, pat yourself dry and then  massage your body with either Serene Body Butter or Frivolous Bath & Body Oil.
The Serene Body Butter is blended with pure virgin coconut and avocado oils and enriched with rejuvenating Shea and Muru Muru butter. First warm the butter in your hands before massaging gently over your body. Price £28

The Frivolous Bath & Body Oil is an extravagant blend of oils which derive from the Kalahari melon, sweet almond and the African baobab tree. This can also be used in the bath. price £30
 
Maddi Alexander only use ethically sourced natural ingredients made by fair trade cooperatives in the developing world wherever possible. So these little luxuries are not only good for you, but also good for the environment and the producers that they work with.
