Honoured Natural Beauties by Neal’s Yard Remedies

Green A-listers from Donna Air and Livia Giuggioli to Joanna Yarrow and Lisa Oxenham have been awarded with Neal’s Yard Remedies prestigious Natural Beauty Honours. Eleni Sardi writes.

Already in its second year, the Natural Beauty Honours, pioneered by Neil’s Yard Remedies, aim to recognise the contributions of individuals in the public eye who are bringing environmental issues the fore.

Donna Air, spokeswoman for the Soil Association, editor-in-chief for the Soil Association’s Grown in Britain Cookbook and a supporter of the Real Food Festival, says, “I truly believe what we eat and put on our skin should be as organic and natural as possible, and this is a wonderful way to celebrate it.”

Livia Giuggioli, wife of Colin Firth, producer and co-founder of Eco Age and Joanna Yarrow, writer, broadcaster, co-founder of sustainability company Beyond Green, and the green expert on GMTV and Five News were also among the winners.

Lisa Oxenham, beauty director of Marie Claire, and Sarah Stacey, editor of You Magazine and founder and editor of the critically acclaimed Green Beauty Bible, were also the proud recipients of the Natural Beauty Honours.

Peter Kindersley, owner of Neal’s Yard Remedies says, “the Natural Beauty Honours are our way of officially recognising important people who have made a substantial contribution to green issues and who share a vision with Neal’s Yard Remedies to raise the profile of a natural and organic way of living.”
