Press | Jurlique in The Guardian
What's the story?
Jurlique started life in 1985 out of a farm in southern Australia. The brainchild of bio-chemist Dr Jurgen Klein and his wife Ulrike, it was originally created as a niche natural skincare range. Dr Klein had worked in his native Germany in herbalism, aromatherapy, nutrition and skincare, spending four years as a researcher and developer for popular natural cosmetics brand Dr Hauschka. In 1984, he and his family move to south Australia, chosen for its climate, and a year later Jurlique was launched. It is is now Australia's leading skincare brand.
So the air miles aren't great for us Brits then?
Well, no, not exactly, but Jurlique does try its best to be environmentally friendly. It grows a bunch of the herbs and flowers used in its products on its own 153-acre farm (which, for those of you who like to think of areas in relation to the size of Wales, that's 1/33,556ths) and sources others from around Australia. The target is for all products to be made up of 95% natural ingredients
Any other news?
Jurlique has just launched a treatment menu at the fancy agua Spa at Sanderson in London. I bimbled down there recently for a herbal revitalise facial (£75 for 60 minutes) sandersonlondon.com and can report back that it was delightful. The scents were gorgeous – lavender, rose – and the whole treatment was delivered while I was lying on a hyrdothermal mat (like a giant hot water bottle). And at the risk of sounding as if I've made this up, the day after the treatment a friend actually commented on the "glowing" appearance of my skin. I kid you not. It's certainly a one-off treat but there's nothing quite like the confidence you get from someone telling you your face looks nice.- Words by Anna Chesters
At Love Lula we really pay attention to the ingredients in all our products, and only take the products that meet our criteria. Because of that, Love Lula doesn't stock the entire Jurlique So you have the choice of some lovely products and rest assured that they are best the your skin can get. range. It does mean, however, that the products we do have are the very best in natural and organic skincare!

Jurlique - Love Balm | Hungeree Review
I have a bad habit of biting and chewing on my lips sometimes and I absolutely need a lip gloss or balm on to keep myself from doing it. Recently, I purchased the Jurlique Love Balm which is made with vitamin E and olive, soybean, and safflower oils. It has an absolutely delicious tangerine scent but the downside is it doesn't taste like tangerines and more like the oils that it's made of.
The balm moisturizes my lips well but it doesn't stay on for very long. I found myself reapplying it multiple times during the day, but the tube offers a generous amount of 0.5 ounces. That may not seem like a lot but when it's something you're swabbing on your lips, you won't need a lot of product. The other great thing about this balm is you can use it anywhere on your body. It's not meant to be a body moisturizer, but if you don't have any hand cream in your bag, feel free to rub a little Love Balm on them. It doesn't feel greasy and the balm is absorbed quickly. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a balm that doesn't feel sticky or greasy and for the minimalists who prefer products with multiple uses.

going nude
The days are getting longer, the Siberian freeze has lifted, is it? could it really be?....spring and summer are coming?!
This summer’s beauty looks are all about nude, barely there makeup and fresh glowing healthy skin so now’s the time to start prepping your skin for those glorious days of summer.....
Deep cleanse
The cornerstone of flawless skin is a good cleansing routine. I adore Nude Cleansing Facial Oil (£24 for 100ml) which is a whiz at removing makeup but is also uber gentle so won’t aggravate your skin and instead leaves it feeling soft and nourished.
For extra pampering treat yourself to an at home facial once a week with a clay based mask; the clay draws out any impurities that are deep in your skin and will help ward of spots and tone pores.
Rejuvenate
Dull and lack lustre skin needs a boost to help rejuvenate it and bring it back to life. Introduce an exfoliator into your skincare routine; look for one with natural aha’s from fruit which help to refine and smooth the surface of the skin making it look younger and more youthful.
Glow givers
Glow giving products will give your skin the edge in the summer months leaving you looking radiant and naturally gorgeous. New natural beauty brand OSKIA has created the perfect skin indulgence in the form of OSKIA Get up and Glow (£64.50 for 30ml), a deliciously lightweight revitalising and energising serum that increases cell respiration and ATP energy. It is also enriched with clinically-proven youth-boosting nutrients and polypeptides and contains therapeutic levels of skin transforming MSM and hyaluronic acid. Wear it on its own or over foundation for a flawless ‘no-makeup’ look.
Fake it
And if all else fails you can always fake the look! Use a natural tinted moisturiser to even your skin tone, introduce a healthy glow and subtlely cover any imperfections. I’m addicted to Latvian natural beauty brand Madara’s Moonflower Tinted Moisturiser (£23 for 100ml) which magically transforms you into a sun goddess on even the worst bad skin days.
