Aromatherapist, Andrea Garland offers up a collection of natural health and beauty balms in vintage tins and pots. Other offerings include creams and potions packaged in new amber glass. Natural ingredients include shea butter and sweet almond oil, to name a few. Items purchased from the vintage line include refills at minimal cost.
A personal fave - Rosy Facial Beauty Blam in a Large Vintage 1940's Goldtone Compact.
As described on the website: A fantastic 1940's compact with raised circular and dotty pattern, has mirror inside which has very small chip to corner, full of Rosy Beauty Balm; A rescue remedy for the skin to improve radiance and smoothness. Skin softening and rejuvenating organic Shea Butter, anti ageing and EFA laden Hemp Seed oil, coupled with balancing Jojoba and free radical seeking Vitamin E make this a deeply nourishing and moisturizing balm. With the heady combination of Rose De Mai, Palma Rosa and Rose Geranium, this is sure to nourish, protect and enrich. Excellent protection for winter and dry environments. It sounds heavenly and the compact brings out my inner Joan Crawford;) There's the Georgiana pot for those looking to feed their inner Duchess and many more.
Take care of aging, beauty and health naturally while keeping containers from the landfill forever. These beauties will perk up your dresser, bathroom or purse and take you to a.

These compacts are soooo cute! And the fact that they are green products make it even better. This class is really opening my eyes up to the possibility of living green with such ease!
I agree, My favorite part of these products is the unique, green packaging. I was bummed to find out they are currently located only in the UK. However, I believe this is a great idea that would work for many companies, including companies selling cosmetics, body care items and even home cleaners and detergents. Not only does it offer the customer unique and beautiful packaging they can display but it is a small sustainable step that can have a huge impact on our consumer habits. I also like that they give refills in the packaging for less than half the original cost. What a great incentive to encourage customers to buy these products.
I think this line could be quite successful if marketed the right way. The beauty industry already thrives off of fun packaging. I know I am tempted to buy so many things each time I walk into Sephora, often solely for the cute packaging. I think Andrea Garland should take a cue from a brand like Benefit that has been very successful with their vintage inspired packaging.
I really like this product, especially the idea that once i buy it i can get refills of it at a reduced price. Why cant everything be like that? I also like the idea of the old vintage tins they come in, very classic and saving the environment in more than just one way!
