Christmas Gifting with Nourish London

(samples) 

Looking for some gorgeous, organic and vegan beauty gifts this festive season? Nourish London have once again got you covered with their offering for Christmas 2022! Here's a look at what's available this year.

Argan & Kale Collection £75

I have this collection myself and can confirm it is a standout, luxury skincare gift option. It contains four full sized items and takes care of all your cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising needs! So if you know someone who needs a whole new routine, this is a good shout. This gift contains Kale 3D Cleanse 100ml - a lovely cleanser that changes colour as it works, Kale Enzymatic Exfoliator 50ml, Argan Anti-Ageing Peptide Serum 30ml and Argan Skin Renew Moisturiser 50ml.

Like all of the gifts this year, this collection is presented in a sturdy black card box which is easily reused (and recycled).

Geranium & Jasmine Body Duo £20

This sweet-smelling pair includes a Geranium & Jasmine Shower Gel (200ml) and Geranium & Jasmine Contouring Body Cream (50ml). The shower gel and cream contain soothing Jasmine and Geranium essential oils, moisturising and protective shea butter and Trehalose and firming prickly pear and brown algae. I think this is a great little fail-safe gift because not everyone has a bath but most people will have a shower in their house! The packaging for both products is fully recyclable too.

Lemon & Black Pepper Handcare Duo £25

This gift features a Lemon & Black Pepper Hand Wash and Lemon & Black Pepper Hand Lotion (both 300ml) and I think it would make a wonderful present for anyone really! I've tried the Lemon & Black Pepper Hand Wash before (you can read my blog post here) and really like it. It's made with 100% natural plant-based cleansers (Potassium Oleate and Potassium Cocoate) and has been lab tested to kill 99.9% of bacteria. Ho Leaf Oil and Lemon Peel Oil are blended with Black Pepper Seed Oil - which are all naturally antibacterial- to create a fresh, invigorating scent that takes hand washing to another level. The Hand Lotion has the same refreshing scent and features a blend of Shea Butter and Sunflower Oil blended with humectant Glycerin.

Nourished Hands Trio £30

This set contains three 50ml Hand Creams including the Lavender Hand Cream, Kale Anti-Ageing Hand Cream and Damask Rose Hand Cream. The Hand Creams are designed to nourish and hydrate and feature natural, organic essential oils. Like every one of the gifts from Nourish, this is presented in a recyclable and reusable black card box.

Antioxidant Duo £15

This set includes the Antioxidant Multi-Tasking Super Balm (15ml) and Antioxidant Peptide Mist (15ml). The Multi-Tasking Balm is one of those does-everything products that every bathroom cabinet, handbag or bedside table needs. It works as a gentle but effective cleanser (and exfoliator when used with a flannel or muslin) that emulsifies and rinses away, makes an instantly hydrating and moisturising mask that can be left to work overnight (perfect in this cold weather) and is also brilliant on dry patches virtually anywhere on the body. It's also great as an intensive moisturiser for lips and cuticles.The Peptide Mist is a dual-phase formula that you shake to activate, which can be used to protect and prepare the skin as well as refresh a bare face or makeup throughout the day. Of course you can also use this in the 'misting' step of your skincare routine, before or after your moisturiser or both! I've reviewed these products separately before and rate them both, so I think that this not only makes lovely gift but it's a great-value way of trying out both products yourself.

Nourish London Vegan Skincare Essentials Kits

(Gift) Two Nourish London blog posts in a row – can you tell I really like this brand?!

Nourish have a gorgeous collection of Vegan Skincare Essential Kits, just in time for Veganuary. There are 5 kits in the collection, all packaged in organic cotton zip cosmetic bags by free trade organisation Freeset.

Here I have the Relax kit, but there is also a Balance, Radiance, Protect and Argan Anti-Ageing kit, so something for everyone really.

Here’s a bit of a breakdown of what’s in each kit, to help you choose which is the best option for you. They really are great little collections, perfect for trying out the brand or for better-late-than-never Christmas Gifts.

Nourish London RADIANCE Skincare Essentials Kit, £29.

This carefully curated kit contains products to give your skin a lovely glow: Radiance Purifying Cleanser (50ml), Radiance Refreshing Toning Mist (50ml), Radiance Rejuvenating Peptide Serum (15ml) and the Radiance Brightening Moisturiser (15ml). The Radiance range features omega-rich oils and bio-actives (including Pumpkin Seed Oil, Alpine Foxberry and a Tonka Bean Extract) to address signs of aging and give the skin a luminous glow.

 

Nourish London RELAX Skincare Essentials Kit, £29.

This is the kit that I have in hand and I absolutely love it – we could all do with a reminder to relax into the new year and be gentle with ourselves and skincare is a great way to exercise a little self care. This kit is designed for sensitive skin, with everything in the Relax collection formulated with a blend of plant extracts to soothe and calm. In this kit you will find Relax Softening Cleanser (50ml), Relax Soothing Toning Mist (50ml), Relax Hydrating Peptide Serum (15ml) and Relax Calming Moisturiser (15ml). This kit is honestly so beautiful and I’m a big fan of the scent of the products – there is some form of lavender in each item and it’s that lovely, authentic natural lavender aroma that most of us instantly associate with relaxation and sleep. I think I’ll do a separate review on the Softening Cleanser too because it’s such a joy to use and, quite frankly, everyone needs to know about it.

 

Nourish London PROTECT Skincare Essentials Kit, £29

The Protect kit features products for dry and/or dehydrated skin in need of a little TLC. The items in this all contain a special blend of plant-derived ingredients including antioxidant-rich Vitamin C, to help give you back your glow. In here you will find Protect Refreshing Cleanser (50ml), Protect Cooling Toning Mist (50ml), Protect Replenishing Peptide Serum (15ml) and Protect Hydrating Moisturiser (15ml). I imagine the citrus components in these products would make this quite a refreshing kit – probably something I would personally use in the morning to put a spring in my step.

 

Nourish London BALANCE Skincare Essentials Kit, £29

The Balance kit is especially for combination skin, with a cleanser, toning mist, serum and moisturiser powered by a blend of vitamins and minerals including Niacinamide.

This vegan skincare kit contains: Balance Detoxifying Cleanser (50ml), Balance Refining Toning Mist (50ml), Balance Nutritious Peptide Serum (15ml) and Balance Essential Moisturiser (15ml).

I've noticed that Apple extracts and juice features in each product in this kit and that they incidentally have an apple scent. Worth mentioning in case you like your fruity scents!

 

Nourish London ARGAN Anti-Ageing Skincare Essentials Kit, £35

Worth over £40, the Argan Anti-Ageing set puts Argan in the spotlight, with products containing peptides, antioxidants, amino acids and B vitamins. Designed to firm and smooth the skin, but suitable for all skin types, this set contains:

Skin Renew Cleanser (30ml), Antioxidant Peptide Mist (15ml), Argan Anti-Ageing Peptide Serum (15ml) and Argan Skin Renew Moisturiser (15ml).

 You can find out more about each kit, including ingredients and instructions by visiting Nourish.

Nourish London Antioxidant Peptide Mist

(Gifted Item) In my experience with skincare so far, I've found that facial mists tend to be either functional or sensory. They're either unscented, or gently scented and sort of high-tech and packed with active ingredients or they lean towards the natural side of things, spiked with beautiful essential oils and extracts for a mainly aromatherapeutic experience.

Nourish London have done a great job of finding a balance between the functional and sensory spritzing experience with the launch of their Antioxidant Peptide Mist.

The Peptide Mist is a dual-phase formula that separates when left alone, so you just need to shake it gently before use. The 91% organic blend of oils, Glycerin and ferments is housed in a satisfyingly heavy glass bottle with a mister that delivers an ultra-fine spritz of product.

Packaging and delivery system aside, we all know it’s what’s inside that really counts, and the Peptide Mist is chock full of ingredients that work in harmony to hydrate, brighten, protect and calm the skin.

As mentioned, the mist contains humectant Glycerin to draw water to the skin and also features hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, brightening Liquorice Root extract, antioxidant Turmeric and anti-aging Pea Peptide.

With Bisabolol (an alcohol derived from German Chamomile) to soothe and Petitgrain, Geranium and Lavender Oils, the mist features a number of ferments including Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, Iron and Silicon. The mineral ferments are in the mix for their probiotic properties that work to create a soothed, fortified and glowing complexion.

I really like how complex this formula is – it manages to include a lot of active ingredients while managing to remain 99% natural. The scent, which is a result of the essential oil blend of Petitgrain, Geranium and Lavender, is pretty powerful (in a nice way!) and I’ve actually spritzed it on my pillow a few times. A very pleasant mist that I like to use mainly throughout the day to freshen up and last thing at night to help me wind down.

You can find Nourish London Antioxidant Peptide Mist at Nourish for £22 for 100ml. There’s also a travel size version if you’d rather test the waters first – a good option if you can be sensitive to essential oils.

Mother's Day Gifts from Nourish London

If you're a frequent reader you'll probably know I've featured Nourish London a few times. A lovely, homegrown beauty brand that creates gorgeous skincare. I've used Nourish products on and off over the past few years and I've enjoyed every single one, so I thought I'd just do a quick post to share a couple of their Mother's Day gifts. Obviously, everything is a bit strange at the moment but I think it's important to try to keep at least a little bit of normality amongst the madness. I'm sure a lot of people out there will still be trying to make Sunday as special as possible for their mum. To my knowledge, the gifts featured below are available for next day delivery, so they're something to think about if you've had other things on your mind this past week and perhaps haven't quite got round to organising a gift.

Nourish London Time For You Trio £44

A pampering set of products to repair, hydrate and relax. This trio includes the PROBIOTIC Multi-Mineral Repair Mask (30ml), RELAX Hydrating Peptide Serum (30ml) and LAVENDER Hand Lotion (50ml). I have to say, this gift set sounds gorgeous and should be particularly appreciated if your mum likes a bit of lavender (the Peptide Serum contains lavender as does, obviously, the Lavender Hand Lotion.

Nourish London Ultimate Skin Hydration Gift Set £60

This is a luxury set of hydrating skincare heroes including the KALE 3D Cleanse (100ml), ARGAN Skin Renew Moisturiser (50ml), ARGAN Anti-Ageing Serum (30ml) and PROBIOTIC Multi-Mineral Repair Mask (30ml). A really pampering routine, perfect for a chilled out Mother's Day at home.

If you think she would appreciate a one-product-that-does-pretty-much-everything sort of gift, Nourish's Antioxidant Multi-Tasking Super Balm is worth considering. You can use it to cleanse, moisturise and mask and it smells beautiful. You can read my review of the balm here.

So just a very quick post to flag up a couple of sets that have caught my eye. If you're not sure what your mum would like but want to shop at Nourish London, you can always opt for a Gift Card.

Nourish London Vegan and Organic Beauty Gifts 2019

(Contains sample) I've blogged about Nourish London's vegan, organic skincare products a few times before- they really are lovely formulas that are a joy to use.

This year, Nourish London have some gorgeous gift sets on offer, all beautifully packaged and ready to present to your nearest and dearest, so all you have to do is take your pick.

Get Your Glow £55

This amazing looking set features the Radiance Firming Facial Oil, Argan Skin Renew Moisturiser and the amazing Antioxidant Multi-tasking Super Balm. I am a huge fan of the Super Balm (you can read my review here) and have tried the oil and moisturiser before and enjoyed both. A brilliant set for anyone who could do with a bit of a pamper this Christmas.

*Youthful Skin Saviours £42

I actually have this set to review and it's just as gorgeous as expected. This gift contains the Kale Anti-Ageing Eye Cream, Kale Anti-Ageing Hand Cream and the T.S.L Tighten, Sculpt & Lift Neck Elixir. This trio of targeted products is a perfect present for anyone interested in sampling Nourish's anti-ageing products and works out to be great value as the price of the set is what you'd pay for the eye cream and hand cream, so the T.S.L Elixir is free. The eye cream contains peptides, vitamin-rich kale extracts, B vitamins and antioxidants to soften fine lines and reduce dark circles, while maqui berry and pomegranate enzymes work to reduce puffiness in the eye area.

Extremely hydrating, the Kale Anti-Ageing Hand Cream works to improve skin texture and pigmentation while protecting the skin against the effects of pollution.

The rich hand cream contains kale extract (to protect against pollution) and rose of Jericho, argan oil and hyaluronic acid to provide hydration and even tone.

Bioactive peptides and antioxidants are in the mix to stimulate collagen production and minimise fine lines, while Frankincense, Neroli and Myrrh repair and heal the skin.

All Hail the Kale £55

Nourish have a unique kale extract that is used in a lot of their formulas for its anti-oxidant effects, so it makes perfect sense that they'd create a special set dedicated to the superfood. This set includes the Kale 3D Cleanse, which is a brilliant colour-changing cleanser, the Kale Enzymatic Exfoliator that contains pomegranate enzymes to slough away dead skincells, the Kale Anti-Ageing Eye Cream and the Kale Anti-Ageing Hand Cream. A fantastic gift celebrating the skincare benefits of kale really!

Nourished Hands Trio £20

A great gift for anyone looking to give their hands a little bit of love, this trio features the Kale Anti-Ageing Hand Cream, Lavender Hand Lotion and Damask Rose Hand Lotion. The lavender and rose hand lotions are limited edition so this is a good way to grab both of them at once before they sell out, too.

Ultimate Skin Hydration £60

This gift is basically a facial in a box with a cleanser, serum, moisturiser and mask all included, so it's a great present but also a good way to try out a whole Nourish regime for yourself. This set fetaures the Kale 3D Cleanse, Argan Anti-Ageing Peptide Serum, Argan Skin Renew Moisturiser and Probiotic Multi-Mineral Repair Mask. This set works out to be particularly good value too as you're paying for the argan serum and moisturiser and getting the cleanser and mask free. If that's not a good excuse to go for it, I don't know what is.

There's also a limited edition Bergamot and Cardamom Shower Cream, limited edition Lavender Hand Lotion and a Damask Rose Hand Lotion, which I think would make great Secret Santa gifts or stocking fillers.

You can find all the above gifts and more at Nourish London.
