If you're buying a lucky lady a spa skincare kit this Christmas, you'll be spoilt for choice. There are scores on offer, but we've narrowed them down to some gorgeous sets that are certified organic, free from animal testing and dubious chemicals, and quite often vegan too.
Top of our list on grounds of beautiful packaging -- shallow, us? -- is Neal's Yard £55 Radiance kit. It's entirely organic, from the organic white tea facial mist right down to the organic cotton flannel. Following close behind is Spiezia's £48 Gift For Her pack, which is certified organic by the Soil Association -- the gold standard when it comes to organic beauty.
We also like the look of No Cows' whoppingly expensive (£95) vegan Spa Day Kit, Lush's detox animal testing-free Christmas Island Gift pack for a more affordable £25 and Green People's £46 Organic Facial Spa. Several Smarties here swear by Green People's products, and they're all certified organic, but not always by the Soil Association -- meaning the percentage of actual organic ingredients varies.
That, of course, is just a few of the box sets around. And you could always make your own with some lovely individual organic products from Jo Woods, Bamford or UK-sourcing and fair trade-supporting Nick & Milly.
To find out why you really don't want nasty chemicals and animal testing involved with your toiletries, read our interviews with Lush and Neal's Yard.
