Neal’s Yard Remedies Launches Deliciously Ella Skincare Collection Comprising Cleanser & Moisturizer

neals-yard-deliciously-ella-skin-care-collection
I was so thrilled to learn that Neal’s Yard Remedies launched a new skincare collection with Ella Mills, the blogger behind Deliciously Ella. Wow…two of my favorites just came together to create something interesting in the natural space. Of course I have to blog about this!

Most of you are familiar with Neal’s Yard Remedies but probably few know Ella Mills. Well, her blog has a huge fan base inspired by her delicious plant-based recipes and positive lifestyle choices. She has even turned her recipes into bestselling cookbooks.

I don’t follow her recipes and have yet to read her books but I like checking out her pretty blog.  I wasn’t all that surprised to learn of her partnership with Neal’s Yard Remedies. After all, their philosophies complement each other and she has a huge following that the brand can tap into. In fact, Neal’s Yard Remedies explained that they were hoping to reach out to the younger customers through Ella’s reach.

According to Ella, she started thinking more and more about what she was using on her skin.

“If my recipes contained only the best ingredients, why shouldn’t my skincare? With this in mind, I wanted to create a line of natural skincare products that made looking and feeling your best as easy as possible. I’m so excited to launch my new Rose Lime & Cucumber Collection, a simple daily skincare routine which is packed with some of my favourite organic ingredients to help every skin type achieve a naturally radiant glow.”

She also added that working with Neal’s Yard Remedies is a natural choice since she has always loved the brand.

Neal’s Yard Remedies Deliciously Ella Skincare Collection
Anyway, the Deliciously Ella collection under Neal’s Yard Remedies comprises two products at the moment. One is the Rose, Lime & Cucumber Facial Wash and the other is the Rose, Lime and & Cucumber Moisturizer.

Both products are said to have been formulated with the highest quality natural ingredients–organic rose and lime essential oils infused with cucumber water and antioxidant-rich blueberries and acai to enhance a gorgeous, glowing complexion.

Facial wash
The Deliciously Ella Rose, Lime & Cucumber Facial Wash is formulated to gently remove, dirt, grime and makeup. Here’s what it contains:

Aqua/Water/Eau, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Coco-Glucoside, Glycerin, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Water, Citric Acid, Sea Salt Extract, Glyceryl Oleate, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Levulinic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Benzoic Acid, Phenethyl Alcohol, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil*, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil*, Tocopherol, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate, Superoxide Dismutase, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*, Sodium Levulinate, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil*, Boswellia Neglecta Resin Oil*, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil*, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract*, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil*, Spirulina Platensis Extract*, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*, Vaccinium Corymbosum (Blueberry) Seed Oil, Leuconostoc Ferment Filtrate, Soybean Peroxidase, Limonene, Citronellol, Geraniol.
*Organically produced ingredient – Natural constituent of essential oils listed

The reviews on the website appear to be mixed. But a number of Ella’s readers are asking about the inclusion of Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, which is widely considered to be harsh especially for those with sensitive skin. Even I’m surprised especially since the other cleansers in Neal’s Yard Remedies do not contain this strong surfactant.
