Five cult natural beauty products

There are some beauty products, including natural/organic ones, that are so popular that they have achieved ‘cult’ status. Here are five of them.

Weleda Skinfood 75g $21.90 – This is great for dry, rough skin. I like to use it on my feet.



Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm $12.95 – Super popular, and now available at Farmers as well as Kirkaldies.




Trilogy 100% Pure Certified Organic Rosehip Oil 20ml $22.90 and 45ml $38.90 – I find this great to use on dry skin and scars.





Dr Bronner’s Magic Soap 236ml $14.90 and 944ml $34.9 – This has 18 different uses. I’m not quite sure what they all are, but apparently this soap is quite the multi-tasker. Available in Peppermint, Eucalyptus, Almond, Rose, Baby Mild, Citrus, Lavender, and Tea Tree. Also, the writing on the bottles is quite interesting.


Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream 30ml $60 – An extremely popular biodynamic moisturiser.

Burt’s Bees is in New Zealand

American brand Burt’s Bees has reached New Zealand. Burt’s Bees products can be bought at Smith & Caughey’s, IE Produce and Urban Loft in Auckland, Ballantynes in Christchurch and selected health stores and pharmacies nationwide, and Kirkaldies in Wellington. Prices range from $9.95 to $64. I don’t have a list of the products available, but I know that Kirkaldies has a wide range, including the babies and men’s products.
