A NEW range of organic skin care has been launched in the North East.

Natural Empathy is the brainchild of husband and wife team Beverley and Philip Stuckey, who used to run a textiles business, before setting up Northumberland-based Empathy Skincare limited.

Along with daughter Maddy, they set up the family-run business. The organic skin care range uses nature's ingredients, which are traceable back to the source.

Natural Empathy also worked with a perfumer to ensure that the products also smell good.

The range includes 10 essential products for skin. body, hair.

These include Care and Repair signature moisturisers, Clean and Green fresh and floral cleansers, nourishing bath milk, Everybody hand and body lotion, herbal handwash and a botanical bodywash.

There are also four eco-wax candles to choose from.

Managing director Beverley said: "Every product in the collection has been individually created using only the highest quality natural ingredients and holistically beneficial essential oils, so our customers know that what they're putting on to their skin and using in their hair includes only the purest ingredients.

"We remove harmful chemicals and synthetics and replace them with a natural, pure and traceable ingredients, which do you and your skin good."

Products are also environmentally-friendly with bottles made from recycled products and labels using recycled paper.
