The wax extracted from the candelilla plant (Euphorbia antisyphilitica or Euphorbia cerifera is used as a vegan alternative to beeswax. It has similar properties offering skin protection against harsh weather whilst allowing the skin to breathe. It is also non-comedogenic meaning that it doesn't block pores allowing the skin to perform its vital functions. Candelilla wax is very versatile and can be used in many skin formulations from lipsticks to balms and body butters. As it is a very hard wax with a high melting point, a little goes a long way.
We have designed a formulation to make a face cleanser that is very easy to replicate and fail-proof!

Counting our eggs! An insight into the life of our birds

I moved to Devon in 2009, coming from London and having led a city life since I was born. I had never been close to a live chicken, let alone held one.
Shortly after arriving in the countryside and encouraged by my father who had an experience of life a lot more down to earth than i had, i took my three sons to the nearest poultry breeder. We came back home, proudly holding a box with our very first 2 hens. We named them Basil and Lola after a brand of the boys' soft toys! As i didn't want to look like a wimp in front of my boys, I grabbed all the courage i had and forced myself to put my hands in the box, hold the birds with my bare hands and transfer them in their newly built hutch. I can laugh at myself now, at my fear of such sweet and harmless creatures.
