Five Best Yaoh Products
SnackBar
Award winning raw food bars that are made from fruit, seed and nuts, and uncooked to preserve their full nutritional status. All the bars contain hemp seeds, and they are the only bars on the market that reach all five categories - vegan, organic, raw, gluten-free and no added sugar, making them essential for a growing number of "free from " people. Massively popular with vegans and raw foodies especially, these bars deliver both on taste and nutrition. Available in three flavours - Coconut and Pineapple, Apple and Cinnamon and Date and Walnut.
Lip Balm
Another award winning product, this time the UK's only vegan lipbalm on a stick. Utilising candelilla wax, hemp oil and olive oil instead of bees wax and petroleum, these lipbalms are also good enough to eat as well as being extremely effective and economical. Coconut, spearmint and mango are three flavours available.
Moisturiser
The biggest selling Yaoh product after the bars and the lipbalms. Again three flavours are available, the original, the papaya and the coco bean with shea butter. All rich in organic hemp seed oil (as are all the Yaoh bodycare products, and available on handy 50gm tubs, made fresh every two months and free from heavy duty chemicals and preservatives. Divine.
Sunblock
Hugely popular with people all over the UK and especially with those who don't get on with 'regular' sun block, most of which is stuffed full of chemicals and stabilisers. The Yaoh sunblock range uses simple but effective formulas that offer both protection against burning and also UVA and UVB damage. Available as an SPF 15, 30 and also 50, with an aftersun to complement the range. Yaoh also has a unique suncream on the market, that uses only plant extracts and no chemicals for protection. Suitable for darker and alreay tanned skin, this is a divine formula that includes rare rainforest extracts, as well as hemp oil and aloe vera.
Hemp Oil
Yaoh organic cold pressed hemp seed oil is the business, no doubt about it. Using the ripest fattest seeds from China, and pressed in the UK in small amounts, the oil is mild in flavour whilst being rich in nutrients, especially Omega 3's 6's and 9's. Use as a salad dressing or for adding to food after cooking, as heat damages the oils.
