|AD – PR Products| Green People are one of the biggest brands in the organic beauty industry, becoming a household name since its launch in 1997. Their Alexandra Kay Wellness Collection sees the brand branch out into the wellness sector, with a range that not only promotes self-care but also raises awareness for a very worthy cause…
Alexandra Kay, the daughter of Green People’s founder Charlotte Vøhtz, suffered with Ehlers – Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder which is difficult to diagnose and is incurable. Alexandra wanted to collaborate with her mother on a range of products that could help others on their wellness journey and have a positive impact upon their mental health even during physical struggles. Alexandra herself waited 13 years for a diagnosis and hoped that by raising awareness of EDS through this wellness range, it would “hopefully contribute to cutting the diagnostic time down to under one year”. Unfortunately, Alexandra sadly lost her EDS battle in 2021 at the age of 28, yet her legacy and mission for invisible illnesses such as EDS to be recognised lives on through this wellness collection. Green People also give 10% of each sale of the Alexandra Kay Wellness range to EDS Support UK, a charity helping those who have the condition and aiding those who have symptoms to get a quicker diagnosis by spreading the message “If you can’t connect the issues, think connective tissues”.
The Alexandra Kay Wellness Range comprises of three essential oil blends, two body oils, a body lotion and a hand held diffuser designed to reap the aromatherapy benefits on the go. This range makes for the perfect self-care ritual, offering treats for the skin and senses alike.
Alexandra Kay Wellness Collection: Time to Smile – £20.00
The Alexandra Kay Wellness collection comprises of three essential oil blends including Time to Relax, Time to Sleep and Time to Smile. Each essential oil blend comes in a glass bottle with pipette for ease of use, and a gorgeous outer box with signature Alexandra Kay Wellness design. The design and visual impact alone not only makes this a lovely treat for yourself, but it would also make a great gift for someone special too.
My personal favourite has to be Time to Smile, an uplifting blend of lemon, cedarwood and sweet orange, as well as bergamot, lavender, peppermint, frankincense, lemongrass and basil. The aroma is fresh and zesty, with citrus notes accompanied by peppermint which lingers beautifully in the background. The additional woody and herbal essential oils prevent the blend from being too sweet for a perfectly balanced aroma that is guaranteed to lift your spirits and awaken the senses.
Alexandra Kay Wellness Collection: Time to Ease Body Oil – £29.00
Time to Ease from the Alexandra Kay Wellness Collection contains some beautiful organic oils including jojoba, sunflower, grape, safflower and Hemp to deeply nourish the skin while absorbing beautifully. The essential oil blend of ginger, black pepper, eucalyptus, peppermint and bergamot creates a warming, comforting and calming formulation that is a treat on the mind and senses alike.
What I love most is how this oil helps to ease muscle tension as well as clearing the mind, all while leaving the skin feeling incredibly soft to the touch. For further relaxation, you can also add a few drops to your bath for a warming bath soak to help ease aches and pains even further. I also like to use it as a foot soak to relieve aching feet after a long day.
Alexandra Kay Wellness Collection: Time to Soothe Body Oil – £29.00
The Time to Soothe Body Oil is the perfect skincare treat for those with sensitive skin, with a fragrance free formulation that contains beautiful ingredients such as hemp, rosehip oil, safflower oil and CB2 – Skin Biofunctional to nourish, calm and protect the skin.
What I love in particular about the Time to Soothe blend is that you can use it in conjunction with the Alexandra Kay Wellness essential oils to create a stunning fragranced massage and body oil to suit your mood.
Alexandra Kay Collection: Time to Restore Magnesium Lotion – £38.00
Time to Restore Magnesium Lotion is the epitome of self-care, not only aiding recovery after physical exercise but also supporting good quality rest and sleep thanks to the optimum levels of magnesium. The lotion itself is lightweight and easy to apply, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth after use thanks to the deeply nourishing and hydrating ingredients such as hemp, Red Algae, CB2 – Skin Biofunctional and glycerin to name a few.
What I enjoyed the most about Time to Restore is the stunning essential oil blend which blends fresh and zesty orange, lemon, bergamot and lemongrass with floral, earthy and herbal notes of lavender, ylang ylang, geranium, frankincense, patchouli and vetiver. It is the perfect self-care treat in my bedtime routine and with a little going a long way, is the wellness gift that keeps on giving.
