We have a couple of very exciting products which are currently in development.

Our  Day Cream is about to have a partner! We have taken the Day Cream that you all love so much and added some natural mineral powder to create a Tinted Day Cream. All the  nurturing, moisturising ingredients of  our Day Cream are still there, but they have been enhanced with natural rich minerals to offer the skin even more nourishment and provide a light tint to help to distguish skin blemishes. We'll let you know as soon as it is ready for you!

Although we believe that with our gentle but effective, natural moisturisers  there is little need for an eye cream, many of our customers still insist that they would like one! As usual we have listened to you, and we are testing our new, vitamin rich, anti-oxidising, luxurious, natural VitalEyes eye cream.  It is a rich, smooth blend of nourishing oils which are rich in vitamins A, B C and E and have strong anti-oxidant properties. It is a light cream that will soak in easily and nourish the delicate skin around the eyes. It also great for the lips!

We couldn't welcome in a new year without bringing our customers something new and exciting. January 2007 is  Hair Month. We have been developing and trying some new hair products and have received some wonderful feedback and results.

Rich Hair Balm is a luxurious, moisturising balm to feed your hair. Just rub a very small amount into your palms and when it is all soft and melted, rub it through your hair to make it look and feel healthier, add shine and smell great. If you have an oily scalp but dry ends, then simply add it to the end of your hair. For short hair it can replace your chemical laden gels and feed your hair while styling it too. The Rich Hair Balm will be introduced at a special discounted price for all of our party plan customers, so why not book a party now for January and experience the great new product for yourself? If you like it as much as we do then you can order it and receive a discount.

January is also back to school month, and we have had a number of mothers ask if we can help to protect their children from hair lice without the use of harsh chemicals. We have been looking into this for a few months now as well as trialling some solutions, and we have come up with our Nit Wit Kit. It contains a special oil blend which can be applied if your child becomes infested. It includes Neem Oil and other natural ingredients which are reputed to kill hair lice. Scientific studies around the world have shown that Neem Oil interfers with the feeding pattern of head lice and results in them dying from starvation rather than bombarding them with some chemicals which will kill them outright but may  also bombard the head on which they live*. This oil is teamed up with a Neem Shampoo for treatment and prevention and a hydrosol based hair spray which can be sprayed on each day to help to prevent further infestation. One of our testers has also found that the hair spray helps to keep flies away from her face !!!!  The Nit Wit Kit will also be discounted during January for our party plan customers.

We are very excited because we have three beautiful ladies joining our Annabelles Natural team of consultants. Jacqui, Sherinah and Jessica love our products so much that they want to go out and tell everyone about them. All three have been trained to demonstrate our products and are very keen to bring them to you. If you live in Sydney or Wollongong and would like to see our products and try them for yourself, please call us and let us know. We will arrange for one of our friendly consultants to contact you.

We recently turned our attention to the men in our lives. Not wanting them to feel neglected, we worked on a moisturiser that would be light but effective, easy to use, and protect their skin without smelling 'girly'. We came up with Out of Africa, combining 'dry' Marula oil with the slightly astingent Hazelnut oil. This  blend will nourish the skin but will not leave an oily residue. A touch of Frankincense essential oil enhances its regenerating, soothing properties while also providing a light, masculine aroma. We love it and hope your man will too.

White Banana Mask has been formulated for sensitive, dry and/or mature skin. It contains organic white clay which is very fine, mild and rich in minerals. It cleanses and gently exfoliates, smoothing the skin without drying it out.

Banana extract supplies potassium and vitamin A and is very gentle. Rose hydrosol and essential oil are soothing and regenerating, helping to restore the skin and strengthen capillaries. After mixing the wet and dry ingredients, simply smooth a layer of the mask onto damp skin and lie back and relax. The mask will slowly dry, forming a firm layer on the skin and gently drawing out dirt and impurities while providing vitamins and minerals. Rinse the mask off after about 15 minutes and feel the difference.
