The body wash I covered really is wonderful; you must try it if you have it in the UK. I'll definitely be keeping up with your blog; it's fun to read what like-minded people are up to in other parts of the world! Cheers, Laurie Glad you liked my blog and the John Masters item!

It's great to hear that the company might soon offer this option in the UK - the comments on your post indicate that it's a lovely product. Good luck with your Natural Chic blog; it looks great and covers a subject that we feel passionately about too. I see you covered John Masters today - I'm a great fan of his products myself :) Hi Laurie,

It contains things like aloe vera, beeswax, vitamin E, and shea butter oil, almond, jojoba and grape seed oils and no crappy chemicals. You can check out my blog post here: <a href="http://www.styleathome.com/blogs/naturalchic/2009/02/19/the-perfect-lip-balm" rel="nofollow">http://www.styleathome.com/blogs/naturalchic/2009/02/19/the-perfect-lip-balm</a> The lip balm is made by a company you also have in the UK, Mentholatum, but I'm afraid it seems they don't offer this lip balm there yet. Maybe sometime soon? Cheers!

I hope you manage to find all you are looking for and enjoy the recipe. I will definitely try out your recipe - this week maybe as I am having a zero waste week, so that means no shop bought pizza bases in plastic wrapping! Hi Karen,
You are very welcome. I hope you manage to find all you are looking for and enjoy the recipe.

I will definitely try out your recipe - this week maybe as I am having a zero waste week, so that means no shop bought pizza bases in plastic wrapping!

I'm going to see what I can find at our local coop store, but I'm so glad to have some mail order sources online in case the local stores don't carry these things. I really would like to give this a try. With regard to homemade bread, I have a really great pizza dough recipe on my blog that is very easy to work with. If you ever want to give bread-making a try, that would be a great project. Thank you again for your help! Thank you so much!

I've been admiring the bread on your blog - the one thing I have never mastered is the art of making bread by hand :( In answer to your question; I've made the first recipe. Beeswax and cocoa butter I bought from Neals Yard (http://www.nealsyardremedies.com/) and jojoba oil I bought from essentially oils (http://www.essentiallyoils.com/) I like the latter because they do not have a minimum order, but I don't know how competitive their postage charges are for international orders. I use Tisserand for my essential oils (http://www.tisserand.com/) and honey, I just use whatever I have in my cupboard. Have fun! Hi Karen, good to see you.

I'd like to give it a try. Do most "whole foods" type stores carry these ingredients? Or could they even be found at big retail stores? Thank you for sharing the recipe.
