NATURAL PRODUCTS
- Natural body products made here in NZ. I haven’t used all the products, but I highly recommend the probiotic deodorant and the shampoo/soap bars. The lavender shampoo bar does wonders for my hair and body.
- My other source of NZ-made natural body products. They also have probiotic deodorant, plus lotions, bamboo toothbrushes, stainless steel straws and more.
- My main one-stop essential oils shop. They also sell a selection of wholefoods and all sorts of natural cosmetic-making, soap-making and candle-making supplies. If you use this referral code — Who wants a discount? — you will get $10 off your first order and I’ll get a small reward too, so that’s a win-win.
