Natural Cosmetics » Barefoot Botanicals

Not surprisingly, from the moment of its launch, Barefoot Botanicals acquired a glowing reputation among the therapeutic community. Actually, Barefoot Botanicals has its roots in a problem that's usually talked about in hushed whispers: head lice. When the inventors daughter was affected by an outbreak at school, she trawled the shops to find a natural head lice treatment - but as a knowledgeable homeopath, couldn't find anything she was prepared to put on her daughter's head. Over a cup of tea with her partner, she discussed her dilemma. Together, they set about formulating their own solution - using carefully-selected, tried-and-trusted essential oils in a base of pure vodka. The formula worked brilliantly - and Barefoot Botanicals was born. This organic skin and haircare range goes beyond hype. Barefoot Botanicals quite simply works.Their new S.O.S range is their lifeline for sufferers of dry, irritated skin. Its advanced therapeutic formulas are gentle enough for babies, children and adults, and every product is also suitable for those with eczema, psoriasis, or withdrawing from steroid treatment.
