We are very attracted to any products which has a shorter shelf-life and/or with an expiry date.

All of Raw Gaia products are hand-made with only cold pressed, certified organic, vegan, cruelty and chemical free ingredients. Please read on…You will also have a chance to WIN your very own “For Her Daughters Organic Living Moisturiser” from Raw Gaia {a beautiful feminine moisturizer cream, with a value of £14.99 MSRP}.

Let’s meet Lisa Lennon

“For years Lisa Lennon suffered from very dry skin. She had looked everywhere for a really good moisturizer, whose ingredients would get as close to nature as possible and that would be free of any chemical and toxic ingredients. Unable to find anything suitable, Lisa started experimenting in the kitchen and doing some research.” “After months of trial and error, research and perseverance, Lisa came up with the first ever “living"skin care product, what is now called For Her Daughters Living Moisturiser. It was (and still is) hand-made through a special low temperature process, using only organic, cold-pressed butters and oils, infused with some essential oils.”

We were sent one, “For Her Daughters Organic Living Moisturiser” from Raw Gaia J

 

Her Daughters Organic Living Moisturiser
Her Daughters Organic Living Moisturiser is a beautiful feminine moisturizer cream and is suitable for normal to dry skin. It helps to restore the smoothness and radiance of your skin. For Her Daughters Organic Moisturiser is made with 100% organic Cacao butter*, Evening primrose oil*, Rosehip oil*, Apricot Kernel oil*, Geranium essential oil, Lavender essential oil and Palmarosa essential oil (* denotes cold-pressed).

Please note: During pregnancy it is extremely important to be cautious about what you eat and put on your body. It is best to err on the side of caution and we therefore recommend avoiding all products containing essential oils during the first three months.
