The pure, botanical skincare, oral care and natural fragrance I use every day
If you’ve ever turned a bottle over, read the ingredients list and felt your heart sink, I know that feeling so well. What I put on my skin matters to me just as much as what I eat, and I want every product in my bathroom to be made from plants, oils and essences I recognise.
That’s why Living Libations is the brand I have more of on Glowing Healthy than any other. Their oils, essences and extracts feel like a luxury, but they’re also beautifully simple: one oil that cleanses and moisturises, a toothpaste without fluoride, a deodorant that lets my body sweat as it’s meant to, and perfumes made from real petals and resins.
I buy my Living Libations from Live in the Light, a UK shop that stocks the range, so every link on this page takes you there. Below you’ll find the whole range I love, grouped so it’s easy to find what you need, and my favourites in a little more detail.

Why I trust Living Libations
Living Libations was created by Nadine Artemis, a botanical formulator and the author of two books I love, Holistic Dental Care and Renegade Beauty.[1] Her whole approach is about returning to ease: fewer, purer products that work with your body rather than against it.
The brand says it has spent over thirty years building relationships with the artisan distillers and family farmers who grow and distil its ingredients, tracing every raw material from the seed in the soil to the oil arriving at its door.[1] Everything is composed and poured at its headquarters in the forested highlands, with a focus on purity.[1]
💖 Plant-based formulas. Oils, essences, hydrosols and extracts, with no synthetic fragrance in the perfumes and colognes.
💖 Multi-taskers. So many of the products do more than one job, which means a simpler bathroom shelf.
💖 For the whole family. From Jai Baby Joy to Wild Child Happy Gum Drops, there are gentle options for little ones too.
💖 Bought in the UK. Live in the Light stocks the range here, so you’re not ordering from overseas.

These are the bottles I reach for morning and night. The Best Skin Ever oils are the heart of it, each one a cleanser, exfoliator and moisturiser in a single step, and the scent you choose is up to you.
Body care
Little rituals for the rest of me: a rose clay soap that turns the daily wash into a treat, a lotion for head to toe, and oils for massage, bumps and tiny toes.
Natural deodorant
Poetic Pits are tiny bottles of concentrated essential oils, so one swipe under each arm is all you need. Choose the scent that feels most like you.

My Living Libations favourites
Best Skin Ever: one oil that does it all
If I could only keep one Living Libations product, it would be a bottle of Best Skin Ever. It’s the brand’s all-in-one cleanser, exfoliator and moisturiser for face and body, and Living Libations says just a few drops are all you need.
Frankincense is my everyday blend. Living Libations prizes frankincense for calming redness, nourishing dry skin and softening the look of uneven tone, and says it’s gentle enough for children and suits all skin types. It removes makeup too. If you prefer a different scent, there’s Neroli, Sandalwood for delicate skin, Seabuckthorn, Rose, Chocolate and a golden Tropical Summer Shimmer.
"I love how it transforms my skincare routine into a nourishing ritual. The blend of frankincense and botanical oils not only soothes my skin but also calms my mind, making each application a moment of self-care." - Georgie x

Rose Glow Complexion Mist: a fountain of dew
I love spritzing this mist before my oils, and whenever my skin needs a lift. Living Libations makes it from the hydrosol of hundreds of Rosa damascena petals, from the first steam distillation, with no added water.
The brand describes it as preparing the skin to receive the hydration it adores, and it’s divine for drenching dry skin and refining the look of uneven texture. Mist it first, then press in your Best Skin Ever while your skin is still dewy.
"I love how this mist uplifts both skin and senses with its delicate floral aroma, making it a beautiful self-care ritual. It keeps my skin feeling soft, balanced, and luminous all day." - Georgie x

Green Papaya and Lime Mask: my weekly glow ritual
When my skin needs a little reset, I treat it to this mask. Living Libations blends fruit-derived enzymes from green papaya, pineapple, lemon and lime with raw sugar cane to clear pores and improve the overall texture of the skin.
Aloe vera gel and golden jojoba encourage moisture and suppleness, while rosewater, comfrey and horsetail strengthen the skin. I love it on my face, neck and décolleté.
"I love the fresh, luminous glow it brings to my skin. It's such a refreshing part of my self-care ritual, leaving me feeling renewed, radiant, and beautifully alive." - Georgie x
Shop Green Papaya and Lime Mask
Triple Mint Enamelizer: a spa for your smile
If you’re new to Living Libations oral care, this toothpaste is the one I’d start with. It blends peppermint, spearmint and wild mint with biocompatible nano-hydroxyapatite for bright, super-smooth teeth and the freshest breath, according to the brand.
A tiny, pearl-sized amount is all you need. Brush as usual, or use it as a tooth mask: apply with a dry toothbrush and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing. Pair it with Happy Gum Drops for oil swishing and the Frankincense Fresh Floss for a full routine.
"This toothpaste always leaves my teeth smooth and sparkling. The natural, fluoride-free formula makes it a safe and healthy choice for daily oral care, which I love." - Georgie x
Poetic Pits: natural deodorant that lets you sweat
Poetic Pits are concentrated essential oil deodorants in tiny roll-on bottles. Rose Glow is built around regal rose otto, with creamy sandalwood, lavender and geranium, and one swipe under each arm is all it takes.
Living Libations created them for anyone who wants a natural way to stay fresh while letting the body sweat as it’s meant to. The brand recommends a patch test inside the elbow first, and avoiding broken or irritated skin.
"I love having a clean option for combatting body odour that still allows me to sweat naturally." - Georgie x
Seabuckthorn Shampoo: gentle, herbal hair care
Living Libations says this shampoo brings out the best in all hair types without chemical suds. It’s filled with essences and herbal infusions that nourish and harmonise hair without weighing it down.
It’s so pure that it can be diluted as a body wash or bubble bath, and it’s lovely for babies and children too. Follow it with the Shine On Conditioner, which the brand made as its perfect companion.
"I love how fresh, light, and naturally vibrant my hair feels. It’s such a gentle, uplifting part of my routine, leaving me feeling cleansed, nourished, and full of life." - Georgie x
Petal Perfume Lavish Abundance: a smile tonic
This is the scent I wear when I want to feel joyful. Velvety vanilla, wild jasmine and lavender meet sparkling lemon and lime in a lush, uplifting blend that Living Libations calls a “smile tonic”.
Apply it to your pulse points: wrists, neck and behind the ears. If you prefer something deeper, try Night Flight to Venus, or Roses Shining Everywhere if you love a full-bloom rose.
"It's rich, nourishing, and brings a sense of flourishing joy wherever I go." - Georgie x
