The UK’s beauty magazine goes green

The UK has taken a lead in natural and organic cosmetics, a market in which British consumers now spend £208m annually according to Organic Monitor. Over 200 natural beauty products have already been launched this year compared with 73 in 2006, and in its latest issue, Brand New You reveals its pick of organic skincare.

Included in the round up are products from big name manufacturers such as Estee Lauder, as well as some hidden gems used by celebrities such as Rachel Hunter and Jessica Alba.

“As the fastest growing beauty magazine in the UK, we cover the very latest products and in response to reader demand, we are increasing our coverage of organic skincare.” says Lisa Doerr, Editorial Director “And only Brand New You gives readers the chance to not only read about products, but test them via our unique Brand New You Tube programme.”

Issue 5 of Brand New You is on sale now at WH Smith, Tesco, and leading supermarkets across the UK, priced £2.90. The magazine comes free with an A to Z Source Guide of cosmetic specialists in the UK.
