Sanflora Wellbeing is slowing down for the Winter Season
The stall is packed away for the season. 🌿
The Remarkables Market and Arrowtown Market have given me so much this summer — beautiful conversations, new Sanflora Friends, and moments I'll carry with me long after the tablecloths are folded.
Now Sanflora Wellbeing enters its quieter season. I'll be travelling, gathering inspiration, researching new botanicals, and slowly formulating ideas that will find their way into future creations.
A little thank you to our wonderful Sanflora Friends
Autumn is on its way, and there's no better time to prepare for the colder seasons by showing your skin some love. 🌿
Exfoliation is one of the simplest, most transformative things you can do for your skin. It removes dead skin cells, boosts cell turnover, and unclogs pores — leaving your complexion clearer, smoother, and visibly more even. With regular use, scrubs help fade discolouration, support skin affected by hyperpigmentation, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and bring a beautiful, natural glow back to your skin. Stimulating, invigorating, and deeply nourishing — a good scrub is a full sensory treat.
What makes our scrubs truly special is that they go beyond exfoliation. Each one is crafted with rich, nourishing oils that care for your skin as they cleanse — peeling and healing in one beautiful step. The…
What a beautiful short time-out in Thailand — sunshine, temples, street food, incredible people and the most breathtaking landscapes. But if I'm honest? My absolute highlight was the simplest thing of all: sinking into a one-hour Thai foot massage and feeling every last bit of tension melt away. Pure, utter heaven. 😌
And I didn't come home empty handed. 🌺
One of the things I love most about what I do is sourcing ingredients from the places I travel to — and Thailand gifted me the most beautiful Frangipani Essential Oil. If you've ever been to Thailand, you'll know that scent — warm, floral, softly exotic. It stops you in your tracks.
🌿 Sanflora Friends – a little insider moment, just for you
Before my new blog series goes live on the Sanflora Wellbeing website, I wanted you to be the very first to hear about it.
Over the past months at markets and pop-ups, I’ve noticed something beautiful happening at my stall. People aren’t asking for more products — they’re asking for clarity.
“What do I really need?”
“Can I simplify my routine?”
“I want skincare that feels good, not complicated.”
Many of you have stood there, balm in hand, breathing in a scent, closing your eyes for a second. Conversations slow down. Stories come out. Skin concerns, but also emotions, seasons of life, stress, joy. That’s where this series was born.
As per your request, I have developed a solution to enjoy our beautiful outdoors without being bothered by our serpents in paradise :-)
Insect repellents are essential for preventing vector-borne diseases and minimizing insect bite issues. Traditional repellents often contain synthetic chemicals, which, despite their effectiveness, have raised concerns about environmental impact and potential health risks. Consequently, there is growing interest in natural alternatives, particularly essential oils known for their insect-repelling properties.
It was quite a journey of research and testing before I settled on our formula:
Research indicates that Neem oil is effective against mosquitoes. Citronella offers moderate protection from various insects but can only be used in low concentrations for safety reasons. Lemon Eucalyptus contains a high percentage of citronellal, which is responsible for its repellent effect against many insects and can be safely applied to the skin. Clove has also proven to be very effective at repelling…
