On-line retailer BeingOrganic.com offers certified organic health and beauty care products for Mums
New on-line retailer BeingOrganic.com offers great ways to treat Mum this Mother's Day, Sunday 18th March 2007, with organic health & beauty care gifts that are also kind to the environment. This is a fresh way to make Mum feel special by giving her something unique – luxurious beauty goodies that show you care about her and the planet.
Moreover BeingOrganic.com makes shopping for Mother’s Day really easy as they provide gift wrapping and delivery straight to the door just by clicking on www.beingorganic.com or calling 0800 234 6407. All you have to do is add your own personalised message to your order. Beautiful gifts are available from just £6 to £50. Orders over £35 are delivered in the UK free of charge.
Created by former chemist, Richard Bence and his wife Helen, BeingOrganic.com is the first on-line specialist retailer to offer certified organic health and beauty products carefully selected from a range of manufacturers, many of which are difficult to find on the high street or even in specialist healthcare stores. Customers can now buy from a range of manufacturers like Spiezia, Green People and Eselle.
Helen, a qualified Norland nanny and a Mum herself makes a few suggestions. “Don’t rely on flowers this Mother’s Day – you pay three times the normal price and we Mums have seen it all before. Instead give one of our luxury gift boxes such as the Mums Luxury Organic Treats Gift Box that includes Spiezia’s day moisturiser to nourish and rejuvenate the face, Circaroma’s skin serum to uplift and awaken the body, Essential Care’s hand and body lotion, and Eselle’s beautifying face scrub to refresh the skin leaving it totally invigorated. All presented in a beautiful box and gift wrapped for £45.60 plus p&p. Mum will know you’ve put some thought into her special day.”
Richard and Helen discovered that many health and beauty products labelled as ‘organic’ have very little actual organic content and are not always subjected to any kind of formal certification. Consequently BeingOrganic.com is the only Soil Association registered retailer where every product is certified by the Soil Association or to the equivalent standard*.
Even future Mums can be treated with BeingOrganic.com’s Mum to Be gift box (from £25 plus p&p). ”Everyone says you’re blooming but the reality is a lot tougher and this caring gift box helps all mums to be, especially thorough the later stages of pregnancy and labour,” explains Helen. “This gift box includes Bump Butter to keep skin supple and maintains elasticity, Nipple Balm to massage the perineum and Labour oil and Calming Spritz reduce stress and tension in the week leading up to birth.”
“Giving Mum something pure is very important as well as thoughtful”, adds Richard. “Especially if she doesn’t have time to think about such things. Unlike chemicals we consume, chemicals which are absorbed through the skin enter the blood stream directly. Chemicals which we ingest have to survive the acids of the digestive system and be absorbed through the stomach lining. It has been estimated that women are at particular risk given they commonly use more skin products than men. In a year a woman may absorb up to 2kg of the products she applies to her skin.”
Richard and Helen’s other gift suggestions include:
Spiezia’s Lemongrass and Marigold soap £6

*This will always be the case with non-UK producers. BeingOrganic.com will check the ingredients of any organic products from a non-Soil Association certified producer against the Soil Association standards and only stock those products that would meet the standards. This is what is meant by equivalent standard.
