Cooks' Hand Wash


I love cooking but hate having smelly hands after chopping garlic and onions. So I have created a new essential oil blend: Sicilian Lemon, Fennel & Peppermint, to put in our hand wash. I have also sourced these lovely 500ml aluminium bottles which look great in the kitchen. The label is a special heavy duty matt silver one which is impervious to water and grease, so it is perfect to stand by the kitchen sink.

The kind people at Montezuma's, our local organic chocolate producer, are letting me put a small bar of chocolate in a gift box with a jar of our organic chocolate moisture mousse and a chocolate votif.

Montezuma's is based in near Chichester, a twenty minute drive from Petworth http://www.montezumas.co.uk .

I am not at all sure how I am going to cope with having bars and bars of chocolate surrounding me in the run up to Christmas!

My lovely customers, Babes With Babies, have asked me to create two hand lotion and hand wash sets: Happy Hands organic lavender and Cleanse and Care pink grapefruit, geranium and lemongrass. It's so long since my children were babies that I forgot how often a new mum has to wash their hands. Lavender is perfect as it contains natural anti-bacterial properties and is great for soothing and healing. The citrus zing of the Cleanse and Care set is great for tired mums.

Our hand wash is made from plant derived cleansing and foaming ingredients which are very gentle and do not dry out the skin and our lotion contains organic shea butter and olive oil to moisturise and protect the skin from anti-oxidants.

I love working with Babes With Babies, they always appreciate the work involved in creating bespoke labels and always come up with inventive ideas for product names and gift sets.
