It is that time again! For those of you who are unfamiliar (where have you been?!), the Natural Beauty Box are a monthly subscription service featuring only natural, cruelty free products that are often also vegan and organic. I have been getting this box for 5 years now and in that time, I have not once been disappointed.
As is the standard now, I unboxed this on my YouTube channel, which you can catch here:
The theme for May was 'Summer Protect' and I managed to avoid any spoilers, so I was in for a real surprise!
First up is a brand I have been introduced to fairly recently thanks to this box- Authentic House Think Again Facial Serum (RRP £22). Blended to help your skin barrier and protect it from pollution, sunlight, blue light and oxidative stress, this serum combines Vitamin C and Ectoin from extremolytes with upcycled Blueberry, Raspberry and Gin extracts. It was also a finalist in the 2024 Free From Skincare Awards. I do love serums, especially at this time of year as I find them much lighter on the skin than oils. This one sounds perfect for the summer months and has a multitude of skin benefits that, as a woman in her early 30's, I can see my skin absolutely loving.
Next up was another brand I was introduced to thanks to this box, and I am very happy to see them again as it is has been a while! Organii Anti Ageing Facial Moisturiser with SPF15 (RRP £16.95). With non nano Zinc Oxide and non nano Titanium Dioxide which sit on top of the skin, reflecting the suns rays and protecting the skin day in, day out. It has a non greasy, nourishing formula. I have tried Organii's sun protection in the past and absolutely loved it. There is no greasiness or heaviness to the formula, it's doesn't leave that white sheen that a lot of sun creams do and it doesn't feel sticky either. I will be taking this with me on my upcoming adventure (stay tuned for more on that).
The next item is also the same brand, so we're getting a real treat this month. Organii Soothing Arnica Gel (RRP £4.95). Cool, relax and ease tired muscles and joints as well as aid bruises, sprains, swelling and stiffness with this multi award winning certified organic gel. I have never really tried anything like this before but it is good to have something like this handy in case of emergencies, as well as soothing those tired muscles after a long day. And such a reasonable price point too!
Finally, the next item is a new brand for me and is Lytchett Bay Soaps Grapefruit Sugar Body Scrub (RRP £4.95). This 100% natural, skin loving scrub bar gently buffs away dead skin cells to prime your skin for maximum moisturisation and helps boost circulation by massaging onto wet skin. This smells absolutely incredible, I could smell it before I had even opened the box. I love things like this, minimal packaging, easy to use, amazing fragrance and skin care benefits to boot. I have booked a spray tan in a couple of weeks so I will definitely be using this to exfoliate beforehand!
So another amazing mix of products! The total value of the items this month is a staggering £48.85! Such an incredible saving!

They also do 'Lucky Dip' boxes on their website which contain 3 products from past boxes so you can get a taster for the service- this is priced at £12.95. For a limited time (at least, initially!), there are also Pick n Mix boxes available where you can choose either 3 items for £15 or 4 items for £20 from a selection menu. All of the above options include delivery.
I have said this so many times but I will say it again- this box is my absolute favourite and it never lets me down. It is not often that you can subscribe to a box for 5 years and not have a single 'dud' box or a repeat item but Emma, who is the woman behind this box, always manages to blow me away every month with new brand discoveries and some new products from old faithful brands I already know and love. I'm already excited for next months offering! Emma is also a lovely lady who puts so much heart and soul into every box- you can really feel the passion when you unbox it and it is testament to her passion that she absolutely smashes it every month! This box certainly deserves all the success and is one I hope will continue for a long time to come!
