CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
Thank God for Rossi! Until I found this website
I was only using Aqueous Cream for washing, cleansing
and moisturising but my eczema was still causing
me problems. I then noticed it still contained
SLS! I found Handmade Naturals and haven't looked
back! Your moisturising foaming face wash is amazing
and your shower gels and shampoos are great! Am
about to try a few more products! Thank You!...Sally,
West Midlands

The replenishing cream definitely did the trick!
It absorbs really well, as you said, but leaving
the surface feeling dewy and supple. I would say
the eye cream is just as moisturising as the other
formulation. I was concerned that without the
beeswax it might sink in, leaving the surface
dry, but it doesnt. Thanks for your excellent
interactive customer service. Its nice to
deal with an online retailer with such a human
face!...Kathryn, Surrey
Many thanks for another excellent service - order
arrived this morning. I am really enjoying using
your products after several years trying to find
a shower gel/wash, which didn't make me itch.
The African Black Soap is brilliant, I even use
it on my face. Thanks again & kind regards...Margaret,
West Yorkshire
Thank you very much for the shower gels. I meant
to email after I first started to use your products
to tell you how marvellous I think they are. I
especially like them after I have done a long
run at the weekend as the lovely aromas always
make feel 10x better even if I am tired from the
run...Carol, Hertfordshire
Thanks for the super speedy delivery! Yes, the
eczema has improved! Running out of the African
Black Soap would be a catastrophe! I am so impressed
with the products, I cant tell you
and I love the scent of the oils in the shea &
coconut butter. Its so nice to have something
strong smelling to put on as well, obviously,
I cant use perfume, etc., and its
nice to smell of something pleasant and feminine...Karen,
Surrey
I thought I would drop you a line to say how
pleased I am with the products I have purchased
from you. They are very pleasant to use and I
like the fact that they are made from simple formulations
without much in the way of herbs or essential
oils. Ordering is straightforward as the website
is easy to navigate with the added benefit of
previous customer feedback before purchase. I
also like the educational bit letting people know
where the raw materials come from. Timescale for
deliveries is also very good. I particularly like
the Rose Otto face toner, ideal for sensitive
skin as it is alcohol free and therefore not drying
or irritating. As a multi-use product would it
perhaps be possible to supply it in a 200/250ml
container with flip top in the future? Also would
it be possible to put your research skills to
further good use and develop a simple cleansing
cream for those sensitive souls amongst us who
prefer to cleanse without water? Unfortunately
the natural and organic products on offer at the
moment seem to be made predominantly of beeswax
and are exceptionally greasy, hence the need to
remove them with a hot muslin or washcloth. Judging
by comments I have read on other websites, consumers
have been left very disappointed with this type
of cleanser. Could I also suggest a body powder
made from cornstarch with the addition of lavender
and tea tree oil, excellent for body and feet.
In addition at a later date what about expanding
on your creams range to include one for bites
and stings, muscular aches and pains etc as an
ointment range. Keep up the good work, converting
consumers to natural and organic personal care
products! ... Marion, Kent
I ordered a replenishing face cream and a trevarno
soap from you about a month ago. I am delighted
to let you know that my skin is no longer dry
and I am very happy with the products...Jayne,
Oxfordshire
I just wanted to let you know that I have recently
been using some of your products and as someone
who has suffered from eczema for nearly 15 years
I was very pleased to be introduced to your natural
products. In particular the virgin shea butter
is great and the eye cream...Lotifa,
London
A while ago I ordered a geranium day cream from
you and I also ordered a replenshing cream which
I found too heavy for daytime use but ideal for
a night cream. I love the ethos of your company
& am very keen on using products without artificial
& harmful additives. I am still using the
creams at the moment, they last ages and are good
value for money, they leave the skin looking fresh
and glowing. I am very keen to try other products
from your range & am using up all my old products
laden with chemicals as I cannot afford to throw
them away. Good luck with your new formulations
& carry on the good work! ... Simone,
Darbyshire
Since birth I have had a long list of allergies
both cosmetic and foods and suffer from eczema
so I'm a strong believer in chemical free products.
For months I have been searching for a shower
gel which is free of chemicals, has a nice smell,
no orange oil in the ingredients (one of my allergies)
and one which I can afford. I'm so happy to have
found your site. One wash with the lavender shower
gel and I'm in skin heaven. I am so impressed
so much so that I felt I had to comment on your
site. I shall certainly be coming back for more
products. Thank you!....Sarah,
Surrey
Hello Rossi, I received the parcel last week,
however did not have chance to contact you.Thank
you so much for everything, I have tried everything
except the mask. I'm very happy with all the products,
you are just brilliant!...Adel,
Dublin
Hi Rossi I hope you are well. I'm sitting here
in Cairo and my daughter-in-law is raving about
the Virgin Cocoa Butter! She says my baby granddaughter's
dry skin has gone and she's just as a newborn
baby now (she's 16 months) and so has my son's
dry skin on his shoulders and between his fingers
and his knuckles. In fact there are rave reviews
about all the products we have from you, so thank
you very much indeed and keep up the good work!
Best wishes....
Jannah, Wiltshire
Firstly, I think your products are a great idea,
being someone who's skin suddenly became very
sensitive to most products on the high street,
even the so called 'organic' and 'natural' products
that still have chemicals in them...I was amazed
with the results of the African Shea Butter Foaming
facial wash! I instantly had a rosy complexion
(I had been pale before) and noticed my pores
getting smaller every day! I was so impressed
at how quickly I saw a difference. I have quite
honestly never used a product that has produced
such results...Your products are a great idea,
I have been trying to find completely natural
products for such a long time! Thank you...Fiona,
London
I have just come back for my second batch of
products. Why? So many reasons... chemical free
products that my husband (Squeaky Clean Gel, Sweet
Orange & Vanilla) and I (REPLENISHING FACE
CREAM with Rosehip Oil and Rose EYE CREAM) love
and feel safe using; the knowledge that they are
actually hand made; reasonably priced and finally
the human touch provided by Rossi herself, with
her considerate and thoughtful attention paid
to her customers. Altogether very satisfying!
And good reasons to try a few more from Rossi's
range this time!...Caroline,
Surrey
Dear Rossi, I would like to thank you for the
beautiful & functional products. I have been
using some of these products since September 07,
in particular the BALANCING FACE CREAM with Rosehip,
Jojoba, Peach Kernel Oil & Virgin Shea Butter.
I need to share that I am truly delighted with
it. The cream has a very nice consistency and
is not strong on smell. When applied it is effectively
absorbed in the skin and as a result the skin
does not have a greasy and shiny appearance, which
is a characteristic feature for the most natural
based products I have encountered until now. As
such the cream has been a fine base for my make
up too. Together with the ROSE & SHEA EYE
CREAM it has been a fantastic combination to hydrate
my face skin, even in -14°C environment during
a recent trip abroad. In addition, some of the
body care products I have also been using, have
also proved to be great as they have provided
me with all the comfort I need on a daily bases.
The Shea & Coconut Butter is simply magic!
Thank you! ...Petya, Stockport
I absolutely love the new products I just received!
The combination of the eye cream and face cream
makes my sensitive skin feel totally hydrated
and pampered as though I've just had an expensive
facial from a posh spa. Don't know if it's the
aromatherapy from the essential oils or if it's
the psychological boost from knowing I'm using
top quality natural products but I seriously get
a strong feeling of calmness and well-being when
I first put them on. The lip balm is super hydrating
as well. I find it seems to last much longer than
Blistex balm I had been using. The handcream is
nothing short of phenomenal. I can't believe any
cream with such a light texture can moisturise
and protect like that. I bought 2 testers because
I was going to give one to my friend but I'm not
sure I can share now! I haven't tried the hair
conditioner yet because I'm forcing myself to
use up the conventional brand I have already open.
I know if I try yours I will love it and end up
chucking the other bottle away. Thanks for your
stocking stuffer!. There was no way that was ever
going to make it to Christmas without getting
opened. I'm waiting for a nice relaxed evening
(when I get a long soak in the tub) to try the
body oil when I get out of the bath. I'm giving
a selection of my favourite Handmade Naturals
baby-related products to my friend Lucie in the
next week or so. (Yes, that's who I named my daughter
after.) She is due in January and I'm sure she's
going to love your products as much as I do. I'd
be really surprised if she didn't become a regular
customer in the new year. I hope your Christmas
is magical and memorable. All the best, Julie
x
Order arrived today very promptly and just wanted
to say how pleased I am with all my purchases.
Have used them all tonight and they are just what
I wanted-they also smell divine. Many thanks &
I will come back to order again...Susan,
Wirral
I have suffered dry skin on my arms & legs
for a long time. I have tried many moisturisers,
but your shea
body butter has brought instant relief for
my dry skin. I also adore the ylang scent...Shelly,
Lancashire
I'm completely convinced now that natural creams
are the "true moisturers". The results
on the skin are really incredible over time. I
have noticed this with your products. I used to
use Clarins, and Molton Brown, and even the ones
that are really hyped-up with advertisements on
tv, but I found they never actually worked as
it said on the box. A few weeks ago, I tried a
high street brand cream, I noticed by the end
of the day, that it wasn't as moisturising but
in fact more drier and harsher on the skin. I
never noticed this before with high street creams...
Then once going back on your natural products,
my skin felt so much better.
..Saira, Surrey
I find your creams fabulous; I have been suffering
from skin allergy on my hands since I was 16th
( I`m now 35) and as soon as I started using your
virgin
shea butter cream, my condition has simply
disappeared! Many, many thanks! ... Barbara,
West Sussex
My order came yesterday & I'm so pleased
with every single item!!! The Baby
Flower Wash is indeed perfect for cleaning
Lucie's face. In two applications, I've noticed
an improvement in her eyebrows (still a bit of
stubborn flakiness) and on her cheeks where she
had some teeny tiny red spots. Her face is definitely
smoother and I think the little spots are beginning
to subside...I've totally fallen in love with
the pure
Shea Butter now... However, after you said
you were thinking of doing a Minty Shea Butter
to replace the Foot Cream, I decided to try it
on my feet instead. Wow! I've had a fantastic
result. My feet had gotten rather neglected and
dry because I couldn't reach them in the late
stages of pregnancy and now the baby is here I
don't have much time to religiously exfoliate.
I'd been slapping on all sorts of lotions and
creams I've had laying around with no success.
My feed ha'd gotten so horrible, I began wearing
socks to bed so my husband wouldn't accidentally
brush up against them and it was putting me off
trying on new shoes the few times I'd gone out
shopping. One day of wearing a liberal application
of the shea butter under cotton socks has made
a HUGE difference. I'll definitely be ordering
the large size very soon and look forward to buying
some new shoes to celebrate the return of my soft
feet :)...Thanks very much for the eye
cream sample as well. It was a lovely surprise
and I swear that is the most moisturising eye
cream I've ever used. It feels divine and did
a fantastic job of plumping up my tired, new-mummy
eyes. I was worried it was so moisturising I might
have trouble putting eye makeup on over it but
I had no problems this morning. Makeup went on
fine and hasn't creased. I also wear contact lenses
and have very sensitive eyes, and there were no
problems there either. The only thing I think
it's missing is Sun Protection Factor but I guess
it wouldn't be "all natural" if you
added some in...The
Baby Chamomile Soap is brilliant as well.
I bought that for the guest bathroom because we
only have a tiny soap dish (so there is no room
for the African Liquid Soap pump). I've never
been a fan of bar soaps, commercial or handmade,
because I find them drying but I figured it would
be worth a try since I love your other products.
I was immediately impressed with the quality.
It is super gentle and moisturising. It works
great as a luxury guest soap but I would certainly
use it on my baby, too. I don't know why I was
surprised how good it was. Your product descriptions
are so detailed & honest. I think consumers
get used to the advertising hype around conventional
products and come to expect that things are never
quite as good as promised. It's just so refreshing
to find quality products that do what they say
on the tin and actually exceed your expectations.
I'm going to order lots of Handmade Naturals for
Christmas presents so friends and family can enjoy
them, too. Your #1 fan
in South Yorkshire....Julie
Just to let you know, I have been using your
shea
butter cream as a hand cream for my dry hands
- I am a chef's assistant and my hands are constantly
under water. The small tester pot I purchased
from you goes with me wherever I go. I have never
had such soft hands and wanted to thank you for
your lovely cream! ...Sheila,
Essex
I just love the ylang
& orange shower gel, it smells devine
and doesn't irritate my skin at all. The ylang
body butter is also fantastic. I am new to
natural skin care, and I am so happy I stumbled
across your site, as your products are excellent
and value for money!...Hanah,
Lancs
After trying all possible moisture washes available
in the supermarket and some other natural shower
gels, this
black soap is absolutely fantastic if you
have dry skin like me :(. I friend told me about
the solid black soap, but I liked the idea of
it being a liquid as I am not really a soap person
myself. I also find it's so versatile - have tried
it as a facial wash too, and it is brilliant...Sophia,
Cumberland
I thought I'd drop you a line to let you know,
my daughter's body is totally flake free after
a week of using your baby
oil. She had quite bad cradle cap too, and
no amount of almond or olive oil as recommended
by my health visitor worked well for us. That's
getting better by the minute too. And I love using
the oil as it has a fine texture and soaks in
very quickly...Maureen,
Hampshire
I wouldn't use anything else - this cream is
rich and really does the job. My daughter has
a nappy rash every time she cuts a tooth, but
with the bottom
cream all the redness is gone overnight. Thank
you! ...Sam, Scotland
Your body
butters are better than any I've used before.
Until now the products have been nice, but haven't
really worked for me, so I'll be reordering again.
Just wish you did bigger sized pots!... Jo,
Isle of Wight
Just to let you know that I am very happy with
the products I bought from Handmade Naturals.
I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't like the
smell (I like to have a good sniff of things before
I buy!) but shouldn't have worried because all
products smell lovely. I particularly like the
smell of the Natural
Baby gentle shampoo. I will continue to use
the shampoo, bath
gel and chamomile
baby soap for our children and I'm intending
to buy some for my friend whose baby is due in
February. I would have no problems in recommending
your site to other people...Lynnette,
Lancs
Rossi, Just a quick note that i got my order.
One word (well, two): LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or I can say it in five words: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,
LOVE it! Many thanks for scenting
it with my fav ylang & orange scent! Everything
is brilliant! Already tried them all. Face/eye
oil is sooooo good! the packaging of it is
very good as well, it comes out easily. I had
a roll on perfume oil once and it was a mission
to roll the ball to get the oil out of the bottle
and it was pulling and scratching skin. This one
is brilliant! Ialready threw away lots of lotions/potions
I had before, to make room for your bottles! Finally
I found a skin range that suits me and I can actually
see results... Inna, Bucks
I've only used the
shampoo a couple of times, but I thought I'd
send a line to tell you how very pleased I am
with it. I have fine hair which tends to go very
dry at the ends after it has been washed, and
is usually soft and difficult to style. I have
never used a natural shampoo before and didn't
know how it would feel. The first thing I noticed
after using your shampoo is how easier my hair
is to style now, it keeps its shape for a few
days as well. I haven't got dry ends any more,
nor is my hair greasy, despite all the oils in
the shampoo. Great stuff! ... Janine,
Essex
I wanted to try pure oil instead of butters as
a body moisturiser, and I absolutely love the
body
oil. It lasts ages as you only need a few
drops, smells really nice (thanks Rossi for making
it on request with ylang, geranium & patchouli).
But what is best, I've started using it on my
face too, at night, and it is fantastic, as the
oils soak in quickly and my skin feels baby soft.
This is definitely my new favourite! ... Sarah,
Cheshire
Just to let you know that the shampoos arrived
safely; I tried the herbal
shampoo first, which smells wonderful. Because
I have some blond highlights I felt it did leave
my hair a little bit dry, although a conditioner
soon resolved that. One point - Ive stopped
the itching around my hairline, especially
the neck area, and the sneezing is almost gone!
- so all is looking good - hence my order for
3 more shampoos...Karen,
Lincolnshire
I must say I found your african black soap absolutely
fantastic for my boy who has suffered eczema since
baby. It is so mild and moisturising, the eczema
patches on his body don't seem to itch and don't
look as red as they were. It is early days, but
I am sure his condition will improve further using
this soap. I've also used it to wash his hair
because he has a few patches on his scalp, and
that worked wonders too. You have definitely won
me! ... Kate, Aberdeenshire
Your Eye
& Face Oil is absolutely lovely. It soaks
in really well and doesn't irritate my skin at
all. I've only been using it for a few days and
have already noticed an improvement to the fine
lines around my eyes. I'm a recent convert to
natural products and this oil is somenting I definitely
do not want to run out of! I'll be ordering some
more very soon. Thanks for the great service,
I'm very impressed... Julie,
Essex
I have placed two orders with your company so
far and am very pleased indeed with the products
that I bought. I fully intend to continue to shop
with you. Thanks very much...Susan,
Hampshire
Fantastic products. I've always been a bit of
a "natural freak" as my friends would
say and I'm really pleased to have discovered
your product. Now I don't have to go all the way
to France to buy natural & environmentally
friendly skin products. My top product is the
face
cream (pink labelling) as I've got really
dry & fine skin. The toner is also great to
remove makeup. All the baby
products are fantastics especially the bath
wash. Lovely smell. My only disappointment is
the baby soap (chamomille). I just don't like
the smell so I'll stick to the Lavender bath wash
to clean my baby's little body (she's 2 1/2 and
gorgeous)... Marielle,
London
Hi Rossi, I'd just like to let you know that
I think your Self
Tan cream is wonderful, i have been looking
for a natural way to fake my tan or ages. I also
bought some body
butters which are better than any I've used
before.The soap
is even nice for soap! I was thinking of trying
to make my own creams as I've been on a
quest to detoxify my beauty products but settled
for web searching. Until now the product have
been nice but haven't really worked, so I'll be
reordering again. Just wish you did bigger sized
pots! many thanks, keep up your brilliant work
... Jo, Isle of Wight
Hi Rossi, thank you so much for the products
and the speedy delivery. I love your stuff and
am now ordering things for my partner and friends
:-) Also, I am amazed by the speed of the delivery!
It is such a pleasure to shop on your site, not
only because it is nicely done and products are
very good, but because you provide amazing service
and I love it :-)...Sanita,
Hampshire
I just received my first order from Handmade
Naturals and I love the products!
They arrived really fast and everything feels
and smells lovely. I can't wait to order more
soon! Thanks for great products and service....Kristen,
Amsterdam
Dear Rossi, Just wanted to say 'thank you' for
my previous order, received today. Service was
very good and products EXCELLENT! The same day
ordering more! Very pleased! Will definetly recommend
you to all my friends. Many thanks...
Inna, Bucks
Rossi, Thankyou for my order, which was delayed
slightly due to the holidays, but it arrived promptly
the day after it was sent. Your creams
are so so nice and make the skin feel so soft,
will certainly be ordering more soon. Thanks and
keep up the good work!... Norma,
St. Andrews
I have been using the shampoo
for nearly a month now and I love it. I didn't
know what to expect at first as I my hair is oilier
than normal and other natural shampoos didn't
seem to lather well on my hair. This shampoo does
lather enough, my hair doesn't get as oily as
quickly and it feels as if it has been washed
with a salon product. Smells nice and I can only
recommend it to others with hair similar to mine.
Will definitely try the conditioner too... Sarah,
Cheshire
Thanks so much for your advice, I really do appreciate..
so many people I mailed on to get advice and they
never responded...but u are the best ive met!!!!
You will be hearing from me again!!! ... Lola
I had you send me some after-shave
balm and eye cream to my hotel when I was
in London in early June and wanted to thank you
for the great customer service. The after-shave
balm is one of, if not the best balm I've ever
used. The ingredients are fantastic and it does
a great job of soothing my skin after shaving.
There is absolutely no irritation or stinging
whatsoever. This stuff is so good that I've taken
to using it as an evening moisturizer as well.
The scent is a light citrus/mandarin that is completely
inoffensive and fades quickly - which means it
doesn't interfere with any cologne you might want
to wear... As regards the eye
cream, its also great stuff. Both products
are very good value as a little goes a long way.
The only problem is that my wife has taken to
using both the balm (as a facial moisturizer)
and eye cream, which means I will have to re-order
soon - accordingly, I would appreciate it if you
could let me know how much it would cost to ship
one or two tubs of the shave balm and a pot of
the eye cream to Canada when you get a moment.
Thank you for making such terrific products! ...Chris,
Canada.
Hello Rossi! I want to thank you and tell you
I received the last lot of creams
today. I have them on my face as I type. Wonderful
products! I've told all my friends about your
products... Patrycja, London.
Many thanks for your help and the info. I'm really
impressed with the communications. A lot of companies
just can't be bothered and it's nice to have a
change! ... Daniel, Devon

clay mask only once, my skin was so soft afterwards.
I will be recommending it to my sister...' Angela,

Face Cream and have been applying it for over

Very satisfied customer, will definately buy from
you again...' Kelly, N.

I've had a tester pot first because I was a little
sceptical, but after a week of using the balm
everyone was commenting how good I looked. My
shaving rash simply disapperead. I've thrown away
my Nivea cream now I have a full size jar of your
after-shave
balm. Thank you! ... Grant,
Cheshire
I've never really been a cream user as I've suffered
eye puffiness and reactions from creams before.
My partner got me a tester pot of the aftershave
cream and I have not had any problems. My
skin feels so much better too....Anthony,

I asked my wife to make me a cream
to help with the puffiness and bags under my eyes,

The face
cream is fab! My teenage daughter's skin is
looking so much better...Jo,

Excellent communication and service! My face
cream arrived with lovely packaging. Very
pleased!..........Patrycja,
London
I purchased your face
cream a few weeks ago, and it is a wonderful
cream! Really like it and would like buy some
more! Saira, Surrey
Your eye
cream is wonderfully rich and smooth, it tends
to keep the skin moist as opposed to shiny and
it has a lovely smell of roses. Very pleased with
this product...Katherine,
Wales
Thank you for the hair
& scalp oil. I have psoriasis on my scalp
and this oil has really helped my condition. I
will be ordering more...Sharon,
Staffordshire
I think your
shea butter is magic - I used it on my son's
fever rash and I could not believe that the rash
disappeared overnight. It has done wonders every
time I've used it. I have purchased shea butter
creams before, but yours not only moisturises,
it heals too. Thank you for such a great product!
...Jean, Hampshire
