Neal’s Yard Remedies was founded in England in 1981. Their desire was to create health and beauty products that were more natural and less synthetic. In the last 28 years NYR has managed to become:
- The FIRST UK retailer of certified organic essential oils.

- The FIRST certified organic natural health and beauty company in the UK.

In 2009 alone, NYR achieved:

NYR uses only wild, organic and natural ingredients in all of their products. They believe in saying:

- No Synthetic Fragrances
- No Synthetic Colors
- No Silicones
- No Mineral Oils
- No Phthalates
- No EDTA

By using organic ingredients on your body, you’re reducing the amount of chemical residues that are absorbed by your skin.
As you can see, NYR appears to be a fabulous and an award winning company selling healthful and responsible skin care products, but how effective are their products?
Let me answer that question by sharing with you my personal experience with a few of the products. I have had oily/combination skin my whole life.
Oily/Combination skin type is defined as having
- pores that are visible,
- always oily,
- not generally sensitive,
- visible sheen to skin, and
- tendency to breakouts.
I meet all those criteria. The skincare regime recommended for oily/combination skin is the Purifying Palmarosa Collection. This collection includes the Palmarosa Facial Wash, Lavendar Water, and Purifying Palmarosa Daily Moisture.
I can tell you that my skin feels more balanced and not oily at all. I have always wondered about using a moisturizer because of my oily skin, this moisturizer is light and not greasy. Finally I have found a regime that works for my skin!
The second product I would like to highlight is the Wild Rose Beauty Balm.
This has many uses such as, a weekly deep cleanser, an anti-aging treatment, treatment for parched lips, cuticles, elbows, and dry patches.
But I have found it to work MIRACLES on my dry and cracked heels. I apply the Beauty Balm before bedtime, and when I wake up it is truly amazing how great my heels feel. I like that this product has many uses!
In September of 2009, NYR Organics made their products available for sale in the United States.
I was fortunate to be friends with a woman whose mother has owned a Neal’s Yard Remedies store in England for over 10 years.
My friend shared the products and business opportunity with me and I would love to be the one to introduce the products to you.
