It's been such a busy 2018 we haven't had chance to write any new blog posts yet. So, we thought we'd do a quick update on all thing new at Fresh Naturals this year. OK, this might not be quick, but we'll try keep it short and sweet :)
First things first... We opened our first shop!
It was a big decision to move to Scarborough, but it felt right, and we haven't looked back since. As the largest town on the Yorkshire Coast, we thought it would make a good first base for our natural bath & skincare products (plus, we love the beach!!).
We're based on Eastborough in the town centre, next door to a fantastic local artist, Darcey Strangeways (you should really check out her work on Instagram!).

 We love our little natural skincare shop :) | Since opening in April, we've been overwhelmed with the amount of support from local residents, as well as visitors, local media and other businesses in town. The feedback has been amazing, and really helpful as we've developed our ranges to include new products because of some great suggestions from customers. |
And filled it with loads of brand new products...
Our little shop keeps growing and growing - we've added over 20 new handmade bath bombs, a new natural pet care range, our first anti-ageing night cream, a Beard & Face Oil and loads more salts, soaks, scrubs and soaps. We've also just added a new Gift Station, where you can come and create your own Pamper Packs and Gift Sets in store.
Here's our top pick of the latest products in store...
Handmade Butterbombs
These little beauties are flying out of the shop - handmade with chunks of Cocoa Butter, they leave your skin feeling silky soft... they're also Cruelty Free and Vegan friendly, it's no wonder they're so popular!
Fresh Man Beard & Face Oil
This one was tried and tested by our customers and product testers before we released it for sale... the reviews were incredible! The best feedback we received was from the girlfriends of our bearded guinea pigs... no more scratchy beard kisses :)
Men's Face & Beard Oil
100% Natural, Vegan Friendly
Handmade with Lime to tone and balance skin, plus Cedarwood to help promote hair growth, this nifty little oil can be used as a daily moisturiser as well as a beard softener.

Glow Night Cream
We've had some great feedback on this one so far - it's light, citrus scent has been mentioned a few times by happy customers who love the super moisturising and smoothing results. It's handmade in tiny batches (by a super busy lady in Manchester!), so the waiting times can be weeks if we're out of stock - make sure you grab it while you can!
Glow Night Cream
Vegan Friendly, Cruelty Free.
Wake up to glowing skin with our rejuvenating night cream.
Formulated with Olive Squalane - a secret weapon for treating skin conditions, reducing dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles. Deeply nourishing and conditioning, your skin will feel soft, supple and hydrated (our Glow cream also makes a perfect primer for make-up).

And we have to give Molly a shout out...
| We also introduced our very own pet care range recently, starting with Beach Dogs - natural products for doggies who love the outdoors (and manage to find every dirty puddle along the way). We're looking into products for other pets including cats and horses - and we're keen to find product testers for future (so please get in touch if you, and your pet, would like to be considered). |  |
 Molly was just a pup when we first moved, but made it clear the beach was her favourite spot (and ours!). | Our gorgeous (not so) little Labrador puppy has had a hectic few months testing everything out (along with her 4-legged buddies from the beach) - Chief Beach Dog is a responsibility Molly takes seriously :) With soaps to clean and condition filthy coats, and balms to protect and nourish paws, noses and sore skin, our range is slowly expanding. We're looking at including behaviour and deodorant sprays, as well as insecticide products and other natural remedies. We're also teaming up with another local business to create doggy pamper bundles, including natural, handmade dog treats (and even cocoa-free dog chocs!). Look out for our gift packs in store in Autumn. |
And if you'd like to say hello to Molly, please come see her at the shop... she's usually working/snoozing/chewing the shop on weekdays and loves to say hello to new faces. Be warned - faces, ears and toes might be licked!!
Come see Molly in our Scarborough shop!
Eco-friendly packaging
| We've slowly been updating our packaging to include less plastic, and more recycled, biodegradable and compostable materials. Living by the beach has really brought this home for us! Throughout Plastic Free July we had another push at going green - so we've sourced new eco-friendly compostable wrappers for the majority of our loose products (bombs, scrubs, accessories, guest soaps and more)... meaning we've now updated more than 80% of our packaging to eco-friendly alternatives. We still have some way to go though, and we'll be sharing a future blog about some changes we'd like to make in store to encourage our customers to re-use and recycle existing packaging and pots. |  We really don't want to contribute to this!!! So we're trying to replace all our packaging with eco-friendly alternatives |
