This humble Brit store sells rare, hard-to-find organic labels, such as Mother Earth, Living Nature,
Eselle, Miessense, and Logona. You can also find Britain’s own organic creations here, including
Spiezia, Green People, and Trevarno, alongside bestselling Weleda, Aubrey Organics, and Dr. Bron-
ner’s Magic Soaps. Try this store if you are looking for products that are not available in North
America, including hidden treasures such as rare (and probably discontinued) Burt’s Bees Vitamin E
Body and Bath Oil, Weleda Aloe Body Lotion, and the ingenuous mineral shampoo Logona Ghassoul
Clay Powder. The store ships worldwide, but shipping charges are on the higher side, especially if
you buy more than 5 pounds of green goodies.
