My holiday essentials

There are certain things that simply have to come with us on family holidays — the non-negotiables that make everything feel calmer, softer, and vaguely under control (even if we’re living out of a suitcase and someone’s already lost their sandals).

I always pack our soothing balm - miraculous on sun-kissed skin, mid-air elbows, or mysterious child scrapes. A bottle of our Everyday Hair and Body Oil is another must: it does everything from smoothing hair to moisturising after a swim, and it’s gentle enough for everyone, even the littlest ones. And of course, a few of our fresh, natural scents, because smelling like a wildflower meadow or a coastal breeze makes even the most chaotic travel day feel a bit more poetic.

They keep me feeling just-polished-enough, and always - somehow - a little bit like I’m already home.
