In the press - The GIN Lady

The GIN Lady - don't you just love the name? In case you were wondering if we'd somewhat strayed from our obsession with all things eco and gone down the path of early afternoon drinking, don't worry, we haven't quite got there (yet)...

The title comes from the blogger, Nicola, being "under the influence of Green, Independent and Natural brands, people and news." So, away from the alcohol and back to the marginally less fun topic of our Pukka Organic Rosewater which she reviewed this week. And she even went a step further than us with our testing and tried it on her rice pudding. Yes, it's that pure you can actually eat it, so no need to worry about putting it on your skin.

Her review: "I love Pukka teas for their taste, ethos and approach to business. So when I found their toner on the lovely new beauty site, How On Earth, I decided to give their toner a whirl. A fabulous move!

I am forever spritzing my face with this beautifully simple concoction. It freshens me up immediately. It also relaxes me.

Pukka’s organic rosewater is purity in a bottle. Get this: It's distilled from roses grown at a high altitude to optimise essential oil content; The roses are hand picked at dawn to protect their valuable aromatic oils from evaporating in the sunlight; They are gently steam-distilled to optimise its wonderful fragrance. Yep, it smells delicious.

So delicious I highly recommend eating it. For something different, pour a splash into a drink of water.... so refreshing. Or add some to rice pudding... divine. We couldn't drink from a bottle produced by the mainstream giants, now could we? "

What more can we add to that? For more eco-news and product tips, have a look at Nicola's fabulous blog: The GIN Lady.
