Meet Nessa’s Facial Polishing Bar

(45g) A Refreshing little bar of botanical polish, crafted to gently exfoliate, clarify, brighten and smooth the skin.  Clay, Turmeric, Seaweed and Bamboo powders- sweep away dullness and buildup, to reveal skin that looks fresh, luminous, and softly refined. 

 

 Product Tester Review

"Brilliant exfoliation without feeling like it's damaging my sensitive skin, the smell is so fresh and clean, great first thing in the morning. My skin feels so smooth for days afterwards. I will be buying this as soon as it is released  -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 

What Does It Do?

This polishing bar is made to awaken tired, lacklustre skin. Used twice weekly, it helps to:

 

🌿 Gently exfoliates and removes dead skin cells
🌿 Brightens dull complexions and encourages glow
🌿 Clarifies pores and smooths uneven texture
🌿 Cleanses without stripping 
🌿 Leaves skin feeling soft, fresh, and beautifully polished

 

How Does It Feel?

When mixed with water, the bar creates a deliciously bright green, creamy lather with fine natural exfoliating grains that polish without scratching. It feels invigorating yet gentle — a satisfying, silky scrub that rinses clean and leaves skin smooth and refreshed.

 

How Does It Smell?

The scent is bright and uplifting: fresh Grapefruit and zesty May Chang are softened by cool Peppermint. The result is a clean, citrus-herbal aroma that feels energising and crisp.

  • It began around a kitchen table, where a family of artists, plant lovers and a medical herbalist shared a cuppa tea and a simple question: could skincare return to nature? 

     

    When our teen daughters first wandered into the world of expensive skincare bottles and glossy promises, we looked closer at the ingredients and felt a quiet shock. So much of it felt distant from the earth. With the wisdom of Nana Kat, our herbalist grandmother, and the memory of growing up close to the land, we chose a different path — one rooted in folk herbalism, love of the land and old knowledge. 

     

    Today, we craft natural, ethical and mindful skincare by hand in small batches, inspired by folklore and the healing language of plants. 

     

    Each bottle is made with gratitude, as we channel the plant lovers who came before us, the herbalist Nicholas Culpeper, the Celtic mythological healer, Airmid, and yes, perhaps a hint of Luna Lovegood.

    Magical!

    Okay. I just bought it and I'm hooked from the very first use! It smells so good! And the feeling when washing is so gentle! I felt like I was actually washing my face for the first time in ages! My skin is so soft. I wish I could use it every day.

    How very kind of you Harmonie -what fabulous feedback - we love the scent too. Yes, it is tempting to use it every day, but with a face scrub - less is more :)

    "I just wanted to say thank you. I bought the Astrologer Face Oil... last weekend, and in the week I’ve used it my redness and blemishes have cleared up and my skin is feeling amazing. I’ve had so many compliments and am so delighted with the results. What was a spontaneous purchase has really improved my self confidence"

    VERIFIED PURCHASE

    "Our daughter has had a terrible time this past year with breakouts on her hands, with skin cracking and bleeding, especially around finger joints….. even typing at work has been painful!! All the doctors can provide is the usual steroidal rubbish that you can only use for short periods….. the new Airmid’s soothing botanical salve had an almost instantaneous effect, as within hours her skin had softened, especially around the cracked and bleeding finger joints!! This has been an immense relief."

    "I wanted to say the Face Oils (I've been using) for the last year have been so Fab… But then I ordered Beira’s Charm and OMG, it is a game changer…

    I wash my face with this, then use the Seer and see the difference straight away…  I am in my 60s, and my Husband said if you carry on improving like this, you will have to start carrying an ID card around to buy wine 🤣"
