Little Luxuries

When it comes to beauty and skin care I usually look for a variety of things, great quality in product, packaging, and the ethos of the brand.

The Little Alchemist, an Australian natural skin care brand provides a distinctive range of products, such as natural perfumes, delightful body butters, and body serums, amongst other items to indulge in. Being a person with several allergies doesn't just indicate that I should pay close attention to what I eat, but it also means that I am always doing a bit of research when it comes to what I use on my skin.

The Little Alchemist (TLA) founder, Natalie Van Epen has created a beauty brand to treasure, and worth investing in—luxury and cruelty-free skin care that works for every lifestyle. It’s really the perfect beauty companion whilst travelling!

Since I am usually on-the-go or travelling for work, it’s essential to have a piece of my beauty corner fit in a bag. I wanted to share with you a few new arrivals (body serums) from the TLA line that I have recently tried out.

The first body serum that I used was the Cacao and Cardamom (the serums are made with acai fruit, goji berry, and wheatgrass). The smell alone already had me wanting more; sweet notes that remind you of a fresh baked cake or hints of hot chocolate. The anti-sticky formulas really set well with me, especially since they blend easily on the skin.

Next, the Lime & White Tea serum was great for feeling rejuvenated, as it has a clean citrus fragrance. You can definitely pick up the plant essences as you rub it on your body. At night I used Gardenia and Jasmine serum with the roll-on perfume, which has a sophisticated aroma of a fine floral bouquet. If you want to layer a serum under your perfume, it balances perfectly together.

The Best Bits: these products are greatly concentrated and filled with ethically sourced components, both organic and operative. From vitamins to plant oils, there’s so much loveliness from the earth that is taken into consideration in the development of every product created by hand. So, if you’re a sensitive skin beauty darling or eco-devotee, you’ll appreciate these products. 

Another favourite element is the brand’s transparency: all ingredients are thoughtfully spelled out for you, and if you’re new to the natural beauty department, fret not! The Little Alchemist will have you covered with proper explanations and what the key ingredient(s) in each product actually does.

“Our mission is to bring the spa experience home ... creating a decadent daily ritual that your skin looks forward to.”

Here’s my beauty edit of top selections from the brand, including a new personal favourite, the Kyella Rose Antioxidant Hydrate Mist! I am not usually a rose scented type of lady, but this was highly favourable. The mist is refreshing and has key ingredients that nourish the skin as well as soothes irritation. It has the right amount of aroma—a pleasant and feminine light rose scent, (with Bulgarian rose, goji berry, and gotu kola).

I highly recommend these products, especially if you’re into sustainable brands like this and natural skin care. So, what’s on the next beauty wish list to try? Perhaps the Pineapple and Zeolite MicroPolish, it’s infused with Lady’s Mantel, wheatgrass, jojoba spheres, and plantain. Not to mention, it certainly sounds just as wonderful as the others!
