“I am loving the Live Native products … the serum is perfect for using on its own and the cleanser is just gorgeous. I wasn’t sure I would like the cleanser (Pure Native Cleansing Balm) as I prefer to use cleansers on a damp skin rather than putting it on dry, but I followed the instructions and I’m so glad I did. After using it my skin feels so comfortable and … well, happy … I don’t know how else to describe it! So thank you for sending the gift-with-purchase sample, I’ll be ordering a full size one in a couple of days as I don’t want to go back to my old cleanser.” TERESA, AUSTRALIA
“A few years ago I helped to co-write the ‘integrated’ European standards for organic cosmetics and skincare products. Your products are one of only a tiny number of companies I know of that far outreach even these standards”.
CHRIS BROOKES, BATH
“It’s not often we allocate this whole column to one range of products but this brand new Live Native range deserves one hell of a mention. The collection of seven high quality, hand-made skin foods is perhaps the best we have sampled this season. Rating 10/10.”
NAOMI TOLLEY – SOUTH WEST MAGAZINE – AUGUST ‘08
“I wanted to write to tell you how much I am loving the Live Native products I recently purchased (cleansing balm, earth cleanser, frangipani moisturiser, MSM spray and lip balm). Although I have only been using them for 3 days, I can honestly say that these might just be the loveliest products I have ever had the pleasure to try! They are a real treat for the senses, as well as the skin, and my daily routine cleanse now feels like a little spa treatment. I’ve been wanting to find truly ethical and natural products for quite a while now, but many apparently “natural” ranges often prove to be anything but when you delve a bit deeper into the detail of their ingredients. Live Native has therefore proved to be a genuine breath of fresh air.”
LOUISE McKECHNIE
“With ingredients such as coconut oil, shea butter and aloe vera juice we can’t blame our skin for wolfing these down.”
TOP PRODUCT – WOMEN’S FITNESS – NOV ‘08
“I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say how fabulous Live Native products are… WOW… and how lovely philosophy is from which they have grown. You most certainly have a customer for life! When I got back home on Saturday I was need of a little TLC. My skin had that feeling you get when you’ve been in a town all day and are use to living in the country! I tried the Essential Earth Exfoliating Cleanser and Essential Women moisturiser… um, um, ummmm… wonderfully balancing, amazing aromas with exceptionally high calibre ingredients. I can’t wait to try some more! Your products really are amazing…you’ve managed to create something unparalleled in so many ways to anything I’ve come across before!”
DR. KATE JAMES
“Thank you for your lovely products. I am so glad to find a company whose products actually meet up to the description of what they say. Live Native products are a joy to use.”
PALMINDER UPPAL
“I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how fantastic the natural beauty products are that you have. My skin feels amazing! I cannot use anything else now… My husband says I have beautiful soft skin and he can’t stop touching it. After using the Live Native products he said, I don’t know what you have done but your skin is always beautiful but now it’s incredibly soft, like velvet, it’s so incredible. I LOVE Live Native products.”
PEITA, SWITZERLAND
ESSENTIAL EARTH EXFOLIATING CLEANSER with chamomile
“The deodorant is fantastic and your Essential Earth Cleanser, after getting used to the texture and smell, I like very much. I have had a very problematic type of skin and find it difficult to find something that suits my skin type. The cleanser has certainly helped the look and feel of my skin.”
DIANE MACNICOL – EDINBURGH
ESSENTIAL MIST CORRECTIVE TONER with MSM
“Your Essential Mist Toner has quickly become one of my “musts”! I first found it on a weekend trip to Edinburgh, where your products were sold in the middle of a square. I am happy I fell for the delicious scent of the toner and bought a bottle of it! When it was empty, I have missed “the refreshing splash” every morning and night. As I now got my package from you I can enjoy the fresh feeling again… Thank you for a wonderful product, you’ll hear from me again when the time comes…”
ANN – STOCKHOLM.
“The Essential Mist Toner is probably my favourite on the skin as it’s gentle yet cooling and in this hot weather has been a godsend. I’d highly recommend it. I used it in labour and it was a bit of very welcome relief.”
TAMARA O’BRIEN
“The Essential Mist Toner with MSM is great for my dry skin. Before using I had dry patches on my cheeks, when applying my skin feels like it is drinking it in. The smell is quite nice, I like the fact is has MSM since it helps to heal my post acne scars. For best results I’ve found its best to spray some on my face and remove with cotton wool pads to remove excess cleanser and grime then spritz some before applying my moisturiser. This toner is great for people with dry skin. It is unique in the smell, colour and the raw blended ingredients. 10/10 from me!”
SCOTT BENTLEY
ESSENTIAL BEAUTY SERUM with rosehip & seabuckthorn
“The Essential Beauty Serum is gorgeous; I love the smell, which lightly lingers like a rose field.”
DANNY STOKES – BIRMINGHAM
“I’ve just used your Essential Beauty Serum for the first time! It arrived yesterday. Thank you… It feels lovely on my skin. My skin loves it and the smell is SO GORGEOUS!”
REBECCA TURNER – LONDON
“The Essential Beauty Serum is perfect. It is a pleasure to use and I should like to purchase some. For the first time I have found skincare products that suit me and I appreciate your work.”
CATHY FISHER
“Oh, I love my Live Native products…the Essential Mist Toner is heavenly…but the Essential Beauty Serum just feels like pure nourishment…Thank you very much!”
SOPHIE – LONDON
“I still can’t believe how little I need to use – must admit I use Essential Beauty Serum morning and night – sometimes nothing else. The scar on my forehead has flattened out and is much less noticeable. AMAZING!”
GEM WORSTEAD – DORSET
ESSENTIAL GOLD REJUVENATING EYE BALM with 23k gold
“The Essential Gold Eye Balm is incredible, you need a tiny, tiny amount and you can almost feel it working as soon as it’s on skin. I love the energy that Live Native Raw Skincare has. I’m sure it must be the raw blending and your beautiful, crystal clear location…and the gold leaf! Very special!”
FIONA – THE BEAUTY SHORTLIST
“I’ve tried the Essential Gold Eye Balm and I love it. I enjoy the texture, it smells amazing and most importantly the results are great! The skin around my eyes looks smooth and even.”
OLGA ABAKUMOVA – SWEDEN
ESSENTIAL WOMAN FRANGIPANI FRESH MOISTURISER
“I absolutely love your products! Having tried Organic Pharmacy and Spiezia, I’m really happy with my skin tone. I have non-surgical face lift (Caci) every month and the therapist has noticed the difference, which is fab. In fact she has taken some of my Live Native to try.”
DIANNE MOWER – HEALTHY EATING ORG
“I am really pleased with the Skin Foods, and the hamper makes such a beautiful present. I first tried your skin foods through the website ‘the fresh network’ and loved the smell, texture and feel on my skin. The deodorant is the best and most effective I have used (I go to the gym a lot!). It’s great that you do your range in different sizes too, and next time I will order the larger pot of the Essential Woman. Thank you so much from a very happy customer.”
SARAH SKELT – LONDON
“Essential Woman…WHOA! WHAT FAB STUFF! My skin has never looked better and I am using all the products, I think appropriately, and such small amounts. I can’t believe it. And you were right, I don’t need tinted moisturisers any more – perhaps a bit of colour on cheeks at night. I can’t bear to use any of the other makes of skincare that I have left over. Perhaps I will use up on parts of my body not seen in public!! They are all supposed to be really good natural etc, etc, but in my opinion not in the same league as Live Native.”
GEM WORSTEAD – DORSET
“I got my lovely Essential Woman moisturiser with frangipani – the delicious smell takes me back to Singapore and Australia – and on a dull, dark, dank day like today that is no bad thing!! I am so delighted with it.”
LYNN RANGER – EDINBURGH
“This fragrance (Essential Woman) is like you’ve stepped into the middle of Sri Lanka. The frangipani aroma is so fresh and its texture is akin to that of a light but luxurious custard – we just love it.”
NAOMI TOLLEY – SOUTH WEST MAGAZINE
“THANK YOU LIVE NATIVE…I absolutely adore Live Native’s ‘Essential Woman with Frangipani’: it is extremely moisturizing, leaving my skin ridiculously soft and supple. Every time I open the jar my senses are surrounded by the gorgeous smell of Frangipani and Rose, leaving me feeling an overwhelming sense of calm. I love this product and could not do without it! I also love the way Live Native prepares their creams from purely natural, fresh ingredients with no preservatives; maybe this is why it calms and soothes my extremely sensitive skin so effectively? Definitely the way forward for skin care!”
INDIA – LONDON
“I met you a couple of weeks ago at a craft fayre in Skye. I bought Essential Woman moisturiser and your new Essential Earth exfoliating cleanser. I love both products and have noticed quite a difference in my skin already. I was suffering from an acne outbreak at the time I bought them. I really like cleanser just the way it is – the skin isn’t left squeaky clean – in fact, I love the feel after, as though there is some residue that is still treating my skin. Keep up the great work; your products are fab!”
KATHLEEN O’KANE – GLASGOW
“My skin just drinks it.”
CAROL BIRD – LEICESTER
“One of our customers told us that she has spent her life searching for the perfect face cream and now she’s found it!”
JEN MARSH – ON THE EIGHTH DAY CO-OP – MANCHESTER
“I use Essential Woman after shaving my legs, etc. It’s the only cream I’ve ever used that completely prevents a shaving rash. Brilliant and thanks!”
KJ GRANT – LONDON
“Thanks very much for sending me an extra large Essential Woman moisturiser, that’s really kind of you. It smells absolutely fabulous – it’s like all the lovely smells of every exotic holiday I’ve ever been on combined into one pot! It’s got a great texture too, like a soufflé or sorbet and I have to resist the temptation to eat it because it smells so good. It’s doing the job too… so, many thanks!”
JEMMA
“Essential Woman is absolutely lovely. I expected it to be like a greasy balm, but it actually is like a cream, I was pleasantly surprised. The smell is very beautiful, I love the smell of roses, and it really lingers like a perfume. My partner also tried the cream, here are his comments: It’s quite light and yet hydrating, you don’t get that greasy feeling as you do with oils and also you can feel the cream penetrating the skin. We both love the fact you can you it around the eye area, its alcohol free and vegan!”
DANNY – BIRMINGHAM
“You kindly let us all sample some of your creams before Christmas. Since then we have been buying Hanover Health Foods out of stock of the Essential Woman with Frangipani. It is the only cream we have found that is suitable for Steve’s skin (he is suffering from Haemachromatosis which affects the skin causing severe scabbing, itching and pain). It really is a Godsend. Thanks so, so much!”
SUSAN – EDINBURGH
“I have an oily T-zone and dry cheeks and have been trying for years to find something that I won’t get a reaction from in a months time. Essential Woman feels luxurious placing on the face and the smell of the Frangipani is so exotic and luxurious. My imbalance of oily dry has now gone and I have no spots, dry patches or greasiness on my face, Love it XXX.”
SUE JENKINS
“I just want to let you know how I love Essential Woman. I am transitioning to a more raw food lifestyle – bought this as a facial moisturiser but I am also using on patches of psoriasis on elbows & knees – nearly cleared up! Thank you!”
JILLY TURNER
“I’ve been using Essential Woman on my scalp and hair as well as my face and I find that it provides all the hydration and moisture I need (my skin is oily) without any build up and it smells amazingly beautiful – I can’t get enough of it and find any excuse to use and smell it…! I have a very annoying dry patch on my scalp and it’s working a treat.”
BEVERLEY KING
“The Essential Woman is beautiful, really light and soaks into the skin. The smell is gorgeous. I have used many organic lotions and non-synthetic creams and this is the best so far.”
KAILYN G DEYN – HAELAN CANCER CARE
HEAD TO TOE MOISTURISER FOR MEN with sandalwood
“I use Head to Toe for men at night after cleansing my face and shaving. I really love it. It smells very nice! It left my skin feeling very soothed and relaxed in the morning. Whilst shaving with it I received not one break out which is a very first! This is the best all natural moisturiser for men I have tried.”
SCOTT BENTLEY – BIRMINGHAM
“Head to Toe for men is the perfect moisturiser for men. It calms irritated, shaved skin and prevents that dried-out feeling after cleansing. It even smells great!”
COLIN BENFIELD – LONDON
“Head to Toe for men is a must-have for the bathroom of grooms-to-be!”
ESSEX WEDDING MAGAZINE
“I have fair skin and whenever I catch the sun, I burn and peel horribly. This is a problem for me as I frequently go on business trips to Ghana, in Africa. This last time I went, I took a travel sized jar of Head to Toe for men. I caught the sun as usual but this time I used the cream before bed and in the morning all redness had gone, and there was no peeling. Thank you, I’ll make sure I always have a jar with me on business trips in the future.”
DONALD CHELSEA – LONDON
LOVE LUBE SEX LUBRICANT with ylang ylang
“Love Lube is fantastic for cold sores too! I put it on every hour and the next day it was gone! I wouldn’t go back to Zovirax now. It’s also brilliant for Athlete’s foot – it was gone in 2 days! It’s great value for money and does away with buying lots of other creams. Thank you for introducing it to me.”
PEGGY – HOUSTON, TEXAS
“Love Lube, I love it! I get rashes a lot between my legs and after having a period I tend to get sores. I’ve always had this problem since I was a child. So, when I used it overnight my rashes had gone – very healing. I now use the Love Lube daily after I shower and in the past 2 weeks I have had no rashes or itchiness, which can usually be a weekly thing for me.”
J. FAIRFIELD – FORRES
“I have really enjoyed using all the products that I have purchased from Live Native. The Love Lube is amazing -– since I have problems with vaginal atrophy and Love Lube has transformed my sex life. I have just ordered some more Fresh Feet foot balm…that is fantastic too.”
J. GOODALL – HALIFAX
FRESH FEET THERAPEUTIC MOISTURISING BALM with lemongrass
“Fresh Feet, rating…10/10″
SOUTH WEST MAGAZINE
“If I tell you I used this balm to massage my partner’s feet after he successfully completed the infamous Commando Course, and also drop in the fact that this left his battered feet feeling ‘fantastic’ – that pretty much sums up Fresh Feet. I haven’t ever found a product so wonderfully rich but equally refreshing.”
NAOMI TOLLEY – SOUTH WEST MAGAZINE
