Welcome to our second newsletter!
In this edition, we look at one of Forever’s unsung heroes – the Multi Purpose Detergent, which we think is one of their best and most versatile products. We also introduce the new Avocado Face & Body Soap, and as we’re now thankfully well and truly into spring, we highlight what can be done to combat allergies as summer approaches. Finally, we turn the spotlight on one of Forever’s consistently best-selling products – the amazing Aloe Ever-shield Deodorant Stick. Happy reading!
*NEW PRODUCT*
Enjoy the many benefits of 100% pure avocado in a bar of soap!
Forever have created this lovely new soap to complement their range of natural personal hygiene products. Made from 100% pure avocado butter, it is rich with vitamins A, B, D and E. Its cleansing properties nourishes and moisturises all skin types. We love the fresh citrus fragrance!

MPD – the only cleaner you’ll need
We’ve found that the Multi-Purpose Detergent does exactly what it says on the tin. This powerful, non-abrasive chemical-free cleaner can be used in an amazing number of ways, and it lasts for ages. In fact, we’re still on our first bottle, which we bought nearly 6 months ago. We haven’t actually found anything MPD can’t tackle – it even managed to clean the winter grime off my moped! It also works well on the car, both to clean it and to use as windscreen washer. And if you use it on your spectacles, you’ll find they remain cleaner for longer. But best of all is how well it works in the kitchen – a few squirts is all it takes to cut through the toughest grease and grime, leaving a shiny clean surface.
MPD comes in a large 1.89 litre container, it’s highly concentrated and is a thick, gloopy deep blue. Because it can be used for so many different things, we’ve managed to save a lot by not buying separate cleaning products. We even use it for the laundry! With every purchase, we’ll include a free trigger spray bottle which has a handy measurement gauge on the side.
MPD - £16.86*
Allergy alert
An allergic reaction to something is caused by the body’s immune system overreacting to a particular substance. The most common allergens are grass pollen, dust, animal hair, and insect bites and stings. The first rule for dealing with allergies is to remove the source of the allergen, wherever possible. The next thing to do is to look to your immune system. An allergic reaction occurs when the body thinks it’s under attack and a complex response is triggered involving an excess of histamine. The usual answer is to take antihistamine drugs or steroids/desensitizing injections. However, there are a number of products offered by Forever that are naturally designed to support the immune system and can calm down the body’s response to allergens. Drinking the Aloe Vera Gel is helpful, because aloe vera contains magnesium lactate, a natural antihistamine that suppresses the production of histamine. It also contains the polysaccharide acemannan, which is an immune balancer or immuno-modulator, acting on the chemical messenger system that controls the activity of white blood cells.
The Bee Pollen is also particularly effective as it acts like a natural desensitizer against allergies, stimulating a positive immune response in addition to building up the system nutritionally. Bee Pollen contains a bioflavonoid called quercetin that inhibits the release of histamine and contributes to a reduced allergic response. The body does not react to ingested pollen as it does when pollen gets into the eyes or nose. Bee Pollen should be started in small amounts and gradually built up to about 6-8 tablets a day, or even more in the run up to the pollen season. Vitamin C (in the form of Absorbent C) can also modify the allergic response, and is therefore a good companion to Bee Pollen and the Aloe Vera Gel. For bites and stings, the Aloe Vera Gelly is cool and soothing, and helps reduce itching and swelling.
The alternative antiperspirant – Aloe Ever-Shield
The Aloe Ever-Shield Deodorant Stick is a mild but effective antiperspirant that contains no harmful chemicals such as aluminium and zirconium. In 2006, scientists at Reading University found a possible link between the use of antiperspirants containing aluminium and the rising rate of breast cancer (click here for more information). The use of these chemicals can cause the hair shaft pores in the skin to block, which can lead to a build up of toxins. The chemicals can also enter the cells themselves and cause mutations to the DNA structure, which could lead to cancerous growth and can disrupt hormone levels.
The main ingredient is the solid Stabilised Pure Aloe Vera Gel that provides effective all day protection against underarm odour. It is gentle enough that it can be applied straight after shaving or underarm waxing without stinging. It can also be used under the arm during chemotherapy and radiotherapy (most clinicians advise against the use of chemical-based antiperspirants during treatment). As with many of the Forever products, it lasts for months, as those who already use it will know!

Because of its antifungal properties, the deodorant stick can also be used on feet to treat a number of conditions, eg athlete’s foot, although we would recommend you use a separate stick (for obvious reasons).
