Bamford Citrus Hand and Body Wash/Hand and Body Lotion

Zesty, zing-tastic, lemony, vibrant, uplifting, rebalancing… And gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! For us, this new Bamford Citrus bodycare range is just sunny seasonal perfection, scented with a blend of citrus, davana, orange flower and a grounding touch of patchouli, in the base.

The Bamford Geranium range has long been a favourite of ours (we continued to buy top-ups after the ones we were #gifted, ages ago, pumped their last) – but we’re making a switch for summer as of NOW to this unisex/shareable scent.

Certified COSMOS Natural by the Soil Association (98% natural origin ingredients, overall), we also really enjoy the textures of these: gently sudsing but non-stripping, in the case of the Bamford Citrus Hand and Body Wash, while the Bamford Citrus Hand and Body Lotion has just about THE perfect formula: it’s rich, it’s nourishing, but it’s not in the least bit sticky, and smooths in so easily, leaving skin satin-soft and beautifully citrus-scented, in a very sophisticated way. (There’s a Citrus Shower Exfoliator and a Citrus Body Cream, too, which we haven’t yet tried.)

Next week, meanwhile, sees the launch of the next edition of Seed magazine, Volume 04, ‘celebrating food, craft, travel and sustainable living.’ All things that chime with us, as well as with Bamford’s hard-working founder and the magazine’s editor, Carole Bamford. (It’s available now for pre-order, here.)

It had us at the wild swimming cover! (And come to think of it, the Citrus Hand and Body Lotion would be excellent, after a dip.)
