Here are some FTN approved products all available on their website:

Faithful to Nature Organic Unrefined Shea Butter

Now this Shea Butter is as natural as it gets. I've never used a 100% organic one better, and was completed surprised how different the texture is to normal shea butter creams on the market. Some of the benefits include: moisturisers skin, hair and nails; protects and soothes chapped lips and helpful in healing eczema and acne. 

Faithful to Nature Shea Butter Soap Exhilarate

This soap bar is basically a block of nourishing shea butter and other essential oils like rosemary, may chang, lavender and lime. P.S I love the fact that it's handmade.

Faithful to Nature Konjac Sponge - Aloe

Admittedly I had no idea what a Konjac Sponge was before today. It's simply a gentle exfoliating facial sponge. You soak it in hot water, slide it across your soap bar and gently lather the sponge across your face. It exfoliates, promotes healthy blood circulation, lifts up and draws out impurities and removes makeup.

SKOON. Dream Team Pack

This awesome duo is a combination of two locally made organic moisturisers, packed with plant based ingredients and nutrients to improve the tone and texture of your skin. The Vitamin C WOW-WOW WONDER (3-Hyaluron+C serum) is for the morning while the Vitamin A RETININ (Retinal 0.1% resurfacing cream) is for the evening.

Simply Bee Daily Mousturiser

I'm such a believer in the benefits of bees wax and honey. They're such nutrient rich naturally found byproducts that can be used in so many different ways and have so many benefits. This moisturiser is like a superfood for your skin. It's made of a combination of natural ingredients including bees wax. I love how easily it absorbs in my skin, and it feels so lightweight even though it's packed with nourishing ingredients.

Bee Natural Lip Balm

On that note of bee products, this lip balm is make with pollen enriched honey, propolis and beeswax as well as carrot seed oil, a natural UV protector. It feels super nourishing on your lips and keeps your lips feeling extra moisturised.
