An ode to Mother Nature and mother Tiny
Elderberry Shower Oil is a tribute to Tiny, the mother of founders and sisters Angela and Cathy. Tiny was ahead of her time with organic gardening, and thus the inspiration for Food for Skin.
Cathy, Chief Product at Food for Skin: "Our mother Tiny always draws her strength from nature. In what she eats, how she cares for her skin, but also simply by being outdoors a lot and spending time in nature. We always picked elderflowers and elderberries together. She made all sorts of things from them and shared her knowledge with us, knowledge that has become an important foundation for Food for Skin. That's why this Elderberry Shower Oil is an ode to Mother Nature and to Mother Tiny."

Wat een heerlijk product, in alle opzichten. Het smeert lekker, niet veel nodig en gelukkig bijna geen geur. Hopelijk komt er ooit ook nog een spf50. En de verpakking maakte de bestelling helemaal af, hoe leuk!
Dankjewel voor je mooie woorden, Silvie! We zijn blij dat je tevreden bent en nemen je suggestie voor SPF50 zeker mee. Fijn dat je blij bent met de verpakking, echt een cadeautje om uit te pakken 😊
De heerlijkste zonnebrandcreme! Wel een waasje maar dat is juist wat maakt dat het werkt. Ik verbrand snel maar ben heel gerust in de zon met deze crème op. Ik doe een hele zomer met 140ml tube. Die ik voor mijzelf en af en toe een druppel voor een ander gebruik. De tube blijft perfect dicht in de tas, is makkelijk met één hand te openen en sluiten en er is super te doseren. Top product. Ik wordt extra extra blij als ik volgend naar een navul tube zou kunnen kopen.
Bedankt voor je geweldige review! Wat fijn om te horen dat je tevreden bent en dat de zonnebrandcreme een goede match is voor jou. We nemen je suggestie voor een navulverpakking zeker mee. Dankjewel!
