Competition: Win one of three natural skincare hampers from MOA worth £110

Lottie Storey August 16, 2016

Enter our competition to win one of three natural skincare hampers from MOA - Magic Organic Apothecary!

Read our interview with the creators of MOA and find out more about their natural skincare products.

Where and how are your products made? 

We are a British brand, all our products are made in the UK and our signature herb, organic yarrow, is grown in Somerset. We even sow the seeds by hand, at the farm where it is grown. We are cruelty free certified. Our packaging comes from sustainable sources, mostly made in the UK and printed with vegetable based inks, as we try our to make our products as eco as possible.

Why you do what you do? 

It was our mission to make yarrow, our hero herb, available within a skincare product. Yarrow is such a miraculous and healing herb, but not found in many products all, despite being a favourite amongst many herbalists because of its numerous properties. Our original product, The Green Balm harnesses the powers of yarrow in a multi-purpose balm. We enjoy making natural skin care which is affordable and effective whilst also attractive and magical to behold.

What inspires you?  

Nature, magic and folklore, all of which we celebrate in our products, our marketing and our packaging.

What's special about your designs? 

I illustrate the drawings by hand and combine them with vintage apothecary inspired design, so it makes our style pretty unique. Our potions are developed with lots of imagination and care. We’re only ready to sell them when we are truly smitten with the product, and happy that it is both therapeutic and effective. And lastly, a sprinkling of magic makes them very special too!

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
