I have been excitedly anticipating the launch of the Sussex based AS.AP Apothecary for many months, watching and waiting with baited breath as the brand has developed and blossomed into a collection of skincare to truly covet. I've been savouring the scents and sampling the balms and oils that the talented herbalist and homeopath, Amanda Saurin has formulated into an elegant and pure, 100% natural range of exquisite skincare products. Amanda uses an ancient method of distilling, in the way of a traditional apothecary, which enables her to capture the very essence of the plants. This way of working means that only small batches of product are made at any time, in fact she has labelled each item with a batch number but it's this attention to detail, this integrity and provenance that makes this skincare collection really special. There is a range of three face creams, some lip balms, some divinely scented body balms, a range of 'first aid' balms and a beautiful cleansing oil which will change the way you clean your skin forever...
We are lucky to be the first to stock the range which has already started to cause a bit of a stir and the beginnings of what will no doubtedly be a very loyal following. A selection of products are now available to purchase via our online store, but do call in to sample them in person.
I’m addicted to this cleanser!, I’ve tried many over the years yet this is one of the best. Firstly it lasts for months, just a few drops in the morning and evening is all you need. The smell is delicious it wakes you up in the morning and soothes before bed. In terms of cleansing, it removes makeup and the grime of a day’s commute leaving your skin looking fresh and feeling soft. The packing is exquisite like the product.
I purchased a few products from the AS.AP range a few weeks back now and have been so impressed by the formulations. The lip balms are lovely and light yet very nourishing and they smell beautiful. Since purchasing the Rejuvenating and Vibrant face cream I have seen a visible difference in the clarity of my skin. It also smells divine which is always a bonus. This is a lovely and truly natural range which is a joy to use.
I had a major bout of retail therapy this week in Flint, including some of this new skin care range – face cream, all 3 body butters (!!!!!), cleansing oil and lip balm and I absolutely adore them. They are very moisturising with very natural scents. Just a few drops of cleansing oil used with the cloth really does remove make-up as well, if not better, than any other cleanser I have used. Wonderful products.
