Here at Thread we love cruelty-free beauty and skincare and also products that are made naturally, here in New Zealand.
The Christchurch-based skincare brand Linden Leaves ticks all the boxes. The beautiful skincare range founded by Brigit Blair in 1995 has been much-loved for years, and has now got even better.
Linden Leaves is now internationally certified as 100% natural and cruelty-free! With NATRUE and BIOGRO certification, you can know that it’s been authenticated as animal testing-free and free of chemical nasties. This certification guarantees that products have no synthetic fragrances and colours, no petroleum-derived products (Parafins, PEG, -propyl-, -alkyl-, etc), no silicon oils, no genetically-modified ingredients, no irradiation of end product and botanical ingredients, and no products are tested on animals.
A personal favourite product of mine is their miraculous facial oil with organic white tea and organic rosehip oil.
I did a photo shoot of the deliciously-packaged range alongside spring flowers from my garden; magnolia buds, freesias, and camellia blooms.
The Essential Facial Moisturiser $49.99, eye rescue serum with organic white tea and grapeseed oil $49.99, miraculous facial oil with organic white tea and organic rosehip oil $64.99, purifying cleanser with organic white tea and clary sage $34.99. You can buy the range at department stores, selected pharmacies, at their flagship store on Parnell Road in Auckland, and online at lindenleaves.com
