All about: New Zealand's own Verité Spa Organics

A few weeks ago now I was contacted by a New Zealand beauty company called Verité Spa Organics after professing my love for the scent of roses on Twitter. Little did I know that I would soon fall in love with the beautiful, rose-scented goodies that I was lucky enough to try soon after - and recommend to everyone I meet!

Created by aromatherapist and mum Janin Dei-Conti, it is a well-edited range of products that are expertly hand blended in New Zealand in small batches in order to “maintain their potency and effectiveness”. Only the highest grade certified organic, wild crafted organic and natural ingredients are used in their production processes, and their violet glass bottles not only look absolutely gorgeous but have a practical function too. By choosing dark violet miron glass bottles, the precious plant essences are preserved for longer - and they recycle beautifully once you’re finished. Also, according to research, violet is the colour that shows the vibration frequency of 720 – 770 billion Hertz, which matches the vibration frequency of a human’s central nervous system. I have chosen this particular glass to preserve not only the products better, but to enhance and preserve the delicate vibrational energy of the organic plant essences within so they continue to work at optimum performance on the skin until the last drop,” says Janin.

The products are all free of toxic preservatives (but they do use ecocert approved preservatives to prevent unseen bacteria growing), synthetic fragrances, colourants, parabens, SLS, pthalates, oxylates, mineral oils and petrolatum in any of their products. Oh, and to say they smell like pure heaven would be a vast understatement!

Which brings me back to the rose-scented goodies that I’ve had on the go, which include the most fragrant of Rose bubble baths - a riot of pure Rose absolute, Geranium and Citrus oils - and a luxurious Rose Absolute Serum, which is balancing and soothing for dry and ageing skin. Next on my shopping list is the Cypress & Mint Detox Bath Salts - which sound like just the ticket at this time of year - and the multi-use Jojoba & Olive Cleansing Balm, a luxe way to end the day if ever there was one!
