The Natural Beauty Box September 2023- The Beauty and the Earth Edit.
Yes, it's that time again! Every time The Natural Beauty Box lands on my doorstep, it feels like Christmas! 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 September was 'The Beauty and the Earth'. I had seen 3 spoilers for this and was so excited to get my hands on them!
The first item was Terre Verdi Yoga and Sports Massage Body Oil (RRP £15). Multi aware winning, certified organic body oil to aid in the muscle recovery post workout or relieve muscle aches and joint pains. With essential oils of Ginger and Black Pepper which work together to increase circulation, warm the muscles and reduce aches and pains. The blend of Argan, Camellia, Calendula and Jojoba oils will also deeply nourish for beautifully soft, supple skin.
I do a lot of exercise so aching muscles is definitely something I experience a lot. This body oil smells beautiful, leaves the muscles warm and soothed as well as the skin soft and smooth.
Up next, a new brand for me- OBVS Skincare Organic Naked Moisturiser (RRP £19.99). Certified organic, 100% natural light and earthy moisturiser helps with oily or dry skin and can be used on the face or body. It has a mousse like texture and a little goes a long way. As an added bonus, it is fragrance free, making it perfect for sensitive skin too!
I love to use mousse textured products in the autumn and winter months as I find that they are richer and more moisturising so this has come at the perfect time. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin but you can feel it working and your skin stays soft all day. I think I will use this for my body rather than my face.
The third item is a familiar brand for me- not that I am complaining! Upcircle Beauty Cleansing Balm with Oat Oil and Vit E (RRP £9.99). Multi award winning, B Corp certified, and 100% natural, this cleansing balm removes makeup, mascara and impurities to leave skin cleansed, soft and smooth.
I love cleansing balms and I love Upcircle- the perfect combination. This smells very delicate and light and even though it is a balm, it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. That being said, it is still very effective and left my skin squeaky clean without that 'tightness' you can sometimes feel after cleansing. There was also a little sample sachet of their Cleansing Face Milk too, which was a nice little extra!
Finally, a brand I know well but have never tried! Dr Organic Seaweed Ageless Daily Hydration Gel Cream (RRP £11.99). Certified organic light and creamy gel formulation to help keep your skin optimally hydrated and fresh during the day. With replenishing Seaweed and Rosemary Oil for a naturally toned and smoother complexion. Natural Vitamin C boosts collagen production to plump the skin and reduce fine lines and signs of ageing.
I am so happy I finally get to try Dr Organic and what a product to start with! Gel formula moisturisers really suit my skin and I love how lightweight it is!
So another amazing mix of products! The total value of the items this month is a staggering £57! Such an incredible saving!

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 I cannot wait to see what delights await me in the October edit- hopefully some treats to prepare us for the changing season!
