Beauty's new peacnik
There's a new name on the natural cosmetics block: Davina Peace. If you ask us, repeating her name as a mantra is pretty sense-calming in itself. ('Peace, peace, peace...') But this ex-Saatchi dynamo - who's so passionate about organic living - has just launched a super-stylish signature range of candles and Soil Association-certified bodycare, which combines luxe with heavenly aromatherapeutic scents and eco-ethics. Many hoops have been jumped through by Davina - a self-confessed perfectionist - to create sustainable packaging, too, right down to the organic cotton ribbon round the boxes. We're re-using the fab, graphic gift box to stash clutter in the Beauty Bible office, and once our porcelain Ecosoya candles have snuffed their last - currently, we're into White Flowers No. 1 - they'll be perfect for spring posies. The range - which lands in Harrods on 1st November and is already on her website, see below - spans Hand Cream, Body Oil and Body Cream at present, plus those candles: all deeply luxurious, with a serious pleasure factor. And next year there'll be skincare. (Cue panting sounds from Beauty Bible office. Well, we always were a couple of greenies.)
The world needs eco-heroines like Davina Peace. So: more power to her beautifully-moisturised, exquisitely fragrant elbow.
