Budget Natural Skincare - Naked Bodycare?

whenIretire

One of the best value natural skincare ranges that I've found is Pure Nuff Stuff http://www.purenuffstuff.co.uk/

I no longer suffer from itchy skin and scalp since I swapped to their stuff.

You can get the organic surge brand in the Coop supermarkets if that helps

Gosh - thanks for all the responses - it's good to know others feel the same as me. I used both their hair and body products and have done for ages. I am totally in love with their body butter so am really gutted abhout this.

It's not surprising that Boots cite poor sales, because they only ever stocked a small percentage of the line, and hid it away. I could only ever find it in my city centre store, not in any of the satellite ones. Also I generally tried to purchase direct from the Naked Bodycare website as the products were cheaper than in Boots.

I'll review the suggestions you have all made and fingers crossed find something else I like. One powerful factor for me was the smell of their products - I just loved them. I would happily have paid double the cost for their products because they were so good.

Something must have gone very wrong with their marketing or they were just manhandled poorly by the bigger companies that it is now clear owned them. Feel really sorry for the staff as well as they must have lost their jobs.

I had to contact KMI Brands too after only half of my recent order was delivered and the website/FB page disappeared! So sad to see it go!

Waitrose do a Pure range that's around 97% natural (depending on the product). Their shampoo and conditioner are £2.99 each which is amazing http://www.waitrose.com/shop/DisplayProductFlyout?productId=346810. It doesn't lather as well as the Naked range but my hair loves it for being SLS/paraben/chemical free. They also have face washes and various other skincare items (face wipes, moisturiser, etc). I'm waiting for them to bring out a soap or body wash in the same range.

I was in the Princes Street Boots store in Edinburgh this morning and there were still a few hair products from the Naked range - I stocked up on the conditioner! Might be worth a look in other big stores if people want to catch them before they disappear!

Thanks everyone for these suggestions. I am devestated at the discontinuation of the Naked face cream, nothing seems to be quite as good. I still buy the coco de mer Naked body cream from my Boots in High Wycombe but use Faith in Nature shampoos now and I love Balance Me face wash. If anyone finds a similar face moisturiser to the Naked one please do let me know.

The Boots website has the Naked range available - my daughter has very itchy scalp and I buy this for her. It hasn't helped the itching, but I prefer the sulphate and paraben free for her.

Can any of you who use these natural shampoos and conditioners help me out please? I've had problems with eczema/allergies flaring up lately and so I've been trying to use only fragrance/paraben free products (I worked out it seems that those ingredients are what irritate my skin). I've found skin stuff which suits, but the problem is every shampoo of this type I've tried, my hair hates it! They all seemed too harsh/stripping on my hair and it becomes greasy when I use them.


Can anyone recommend a fragrance/paraben free shampoo that's a bit gentler? It's getting expensive to keep trying one then finding it's no good. Previously I used VO5 shampoo, hair loves it, skin was ok with it but I'm not sure whether it still is, want to use something else to check it isn't aggravating my skin.


Of what I remember off the top of my head, I've tried Simple shampoo, Simple moisturising baby shampoo, Waitrose Pure shampoo+conditioner and using a Sanex bodywash on my hair as well because you supposedly can. All were too harshly cleaning on the hair, making it super-squeaky when I was washing and then my hair gets greasy trying to compensate.

Hello all,

I never usually post on forums and I created this account especially to write this and let you all know about a possible alternative company to buy from.

They're called 'Beauty Naturals' (wouldn't let me post link)
w.beautynaturals.com

They seem to have high ethical standards, and from personal experience I can say they've always provided me with exceptional customer service (including free delivery).

Please have a quick look, I really do believe they deserve the support and I would hate to see them go out of business too.

Bye!

Like others, I created an account just to post on this topic.

I have very fine hair which I always had to fill with hairspray etc to give it some volume. Then I found the Naked Volume boosting shampoo, which was like a miracle worker for my hair!

I'm absolutely gutted to find out that the brand no longer exists. I had just got other people into their products too. I'm not scrambling to find an alternative shampoo that's both chemical free and volume boosting. If anyone knows of one then please let me know asap!

I'm down to my last bottle
