2022 was the year of progression for discussions around the Menopause, and we’re planning on 2023 to continue this important awareness! With over 12 million women currently going through the menopause in the UK, the topic has finally become far less taboo and is spoken about much more openly. With celebrities like Davina McCall, Lisa Snowdon and Mariella Frostrup leading the way with a new openness around menopause, discussions around the menopause are being taken more seriously.
To help spread awareness, we are sharing our top three product picks for those going through perimenopause and the menopause…
For dry skin: Baby Mild All-One Magic Soap 
In menopause, skin can lose some ability to hold water, resulting in quite dry skin, especially if the air is noticeably dry itself. That’s where our Baby Mild All-One Magic Soap comes in! With no added fragrance and double the olive oil, the soap is suitable to the most sensitive of skin including those suffering from Eczema or Psoriasis and generally dry skin, making it ideal for those suffering with symptoms of the menopause. The organic and natural soap helps the body to lock in moisture, keeping the skin soothed and nourished. Made with organic and certified fair-trade ingredients, the award-winning soap is concentrated, biodegradable, effective, versatile, and even multi-use!

For hot flushes: Peppermint All-One Magic Soap 
Scented with pure peppermint oil, this soap offers a powerful minty burst to help cool down the body, awaken the senses and sharpen the mind – all things that someone going through the menopause may benefit from! Providing an invigorating sensation on the body, much like an ice bath, the menthol in the peppermint oil activates the cold sensitive receptors in the skin providing that peppermint tingle. This soap really is the secret to beating the hot flushes, perfect for a refresh in the morning, just before bed or even the middle of the day – whenever suits you! It’s no wonder it’s a viral TikTok sensation with @hazelluve saying she ‘got out of the shower and stepped into the north pole’ after using this soap. Featuring organic and fair-trade ingredients, this soap is the best option for beating the heat for both human, home and the earth.

For chapped lips: Cherry Blossom Lip Balm 
Lips can become more chapped and drier during menopause, so to help ease the pain and also protecting the most delicate skin on our face, this lip balm is ultra-hydrating and leaves lips feeling satiny smooth. Made with beeswax and packed with certified organic Avocado, Jojoba and Hemp oils, this nourishing balm softens and repairs lips without leaving any greasy residue. A handbag essential, it can also double up as a healing moisturiser for other affected parts of the body like the hands, cuticles, or chapped cheeks.
