Beatitude Wins National Beauty Award

Full of JOY - Beatitude is Awarded Bronze Award in the National FreeFrom Skincare Awards  JULY 2014

Beatitude has beaten off fierce competition from hundreds of entries in the national beauty awards in the FreeFrom Skincare Awards 2014. The Beatitude Joy Bath Oil was awarded bronze in the Body Care – wash off category.

The Awards were founded to encourage and reward manufacturers of skincare products that are ‘free from’ many of the allergens, chemicals, additives and fragrances associated with skin sensitivities, allergies, and ethical, environmental and health concerns.

The awards were presented at The Love Natural, Love Organic Show at Olympia on Friday 4^th July, by special guest ‘Imperfectly Natural’ beauty and holistic health and natural beauty guru, Janey Lee Grace.

The announcements followed a long, four-stage judging process which culminated in a rigorous month-long assessment by testers recruited by the FreeFrom Skincare Awards’ associates, the Ultimate Natural Beauty Bible.

 “The standard was far higher this year, and all winners and medallists performed exceptionally well and demonstrated terrific ‘free from’ properties,” said Alex Gazzola, Awards co-ordinator. “Like last year, it was particularly encouraging to see many smaller or boutique brands holding their own among the big guys – and often beating them!”

Beatitude Review by Janey Lee Grace

We are absolutely overjoyed and thrilled that Beatitude is now a recommended company by the 

NO 1 Natural Beauty Guru - Janey Lee Grace

Here is a snapshot of her fabulous review

 You know how crazy I am about oils..! Well Beatitude take the luxury oil market to new heights, and that doesn’t mean the price – this stuff is gorgeous! The creator Rebecca O’Connor comes from a distinguished background in aromatherapy, and has taken her knowledge to create a new generation of therapeutic, effective aromatherapy formulations in her facial oils, bath oils and soap.

Each oil blend has a specific purpose: Peace for relaxation/sleep, Patience for muscular aches/strains and Joy for cheering/uplifting (bergamot a v powerful anti-depressant). She uses not only unique combinations of essential oils but quite different plant carrier oils like Daikon Radish oil, oat oil, camellia oil and peach kernel oil. These all have brilliant, soothing, nourishing properties and do not feel heavy and greasy on the skin which can be the case with heavier plant oils like almond, grapeseed or sunflower . Beautifully natural and ethically made, no sulphates, no petrochemicals, no parabens and no synthetics.

 The Skin Salvation facial oil is beautifully detailed -the only facial oil to combine the 3 most powerful anti-ageing essential oils of Rose, Neroli and Immortelle. The base is a vitamin packed cocktail of the most powerful anti-ageing plant oils : Rosehip Oil (vit c),  Evening Primrose oil, Squalene (Olive fruit source) & Black cumin seed oil (regenerative), oat oil, daikon radish, camellia oil, peach kernel and coconut oil. Again Rebecca has avoided heavy thick plant oils and as a result Beatitude’s oils feel more luxurious on the skin, and easily absorbed. The soap has a lovely silky feel and a rich yet very natural aroma.

A winner range of gorgeous oils and more  – made with love, and a definite contender in this year’s Platinum awards!

MyShowcase CEO Nancy Cruickshank

MEET OUR INSPIRATIONAL MOTHERS

Nancy Cruickshank CEO MyShowcase.com

Can you tell us a bit about your business and family?

I am married to Jim, who I met aged 19 at University in Leeds! We have two amazing daughters (aged 10 and 9) together and we're also the proud parents of Holly (miniature schnauzer) and Lola (Jack Russell)! We live in London and occasionally, escape to Devon where we have a small idyllic cottage by the sea. My business is called MyShowcase, think Avon meets Space NK! It's a new beauty retail business that I launched with my business partner, Kate Shapland (Telegraph Beauty Editor) in June 2012. We sell 25 gorgeous independent beauty brands (including the gorgeous Beatitude) via a network of incredibly talented female entrepreneurs - who we call MyShowcase Stylists.

2. What do you do to relax?

I walk on the beach whenever I can. That might be in Devon or an early morning Sunday escape form London to West Wittering. Walking & larking about with our daughters and dogs on the beach liberates the mind & makes you feel amazing. Likewise, I practise Yoga once a week and I attend a 1-hour Mindfulness class with my lovely friend, Ellie. This is a fairly new thing for me - it's an extraordinary guided meditation experience, without judgement, and somehow incredibly regenerating & life-affirming. I feared it might all feel a bit mad & alternative before trying a class out, expecting to spend my hour instead thinking about all of the emails that I had to send back at the office. I couldn't have been more wrong. It was mind clearing, energising and clarifying. At the office, my team regularly tell me that I am at my best on a Friday after a session with Ellie!

3. What is your favourite Beatitude product and why do you like this ?

I love Joy & Patience bath oils. Joy is an all-round thing for me (I'm a fan of the body oil also) and Patience is my Winter bath oil supplement. I regularly drop oil into the bath and sink into the blissful relaxation that this creates. My daughters are fans too - they love the smell and want to steal my lovely little bottles!

 4. How will you be spending Mother's Day on 30th March?

With my family, no question! Hopefully we'll be enjoying a wonderful lunch together in Devon after a long dog-walk along the beach at Weston or tramping around on Dartmoor!
