Every year they partner with a charity and make a donation for each product sold, plus the packaging is always extra special. Here's what Green People have to say about this year's charity, Plant Life:
With each Modern Botanicals gift sold, Green People makes a donation to Plant Life. This UK charity works nationally and internationally to save threatened wildflowers, plants and fungi, the life support for all our wildlife, with their colour and character lighting up our landscapes. Without this help, our priceless natural heritage is in danger of being lost.
After impressing me with their beautiful butterfly collection last year, I was excited to be able to try something from 2017's Christmas range, Modern Botanicals.

Spice & Root Hand Cream* (v), £7.75
This is a light, silky cream with a very earthy ginger and lemongrass scent, which is balanced out with a sweet hint of citrus. It sinks in quickly and moisturises all the sore, cracked skin on my knuckles and in between my fingers. I've been keeping it by my bed so I remember to use it every evening, and it's made a noticeable difference over time — my hands are nowhere near as dry as they normally get at this time of year.
Leaf & Stem Scent-Free Body Collection* (v), £22.95
There are lots of lovely, festive fragrances around at this time of year, but not everyone can enjoy them. My skin always feels extra sensitive in winter — I blame the cold weather — and sometimes scented products are irritating, so I was happy to see a set for sensitive skin is part of the collection.Inside the box there's a shower gel and a body lotion. The shower gel lathers up well, especially for a sulphate-free product. It's very foamy, which feels luxurious after a long day at work, and you don't need to use much to wash your whole body.
The lotion has a lovely, light texture but still manages to soothe dry, irritated skin. It can take a little while to absorb, but it doesn't linger so long that you have to wait before you get dressed (or get into your pyjamas). I often get blotchy patches on my skin after showering, but they fade away after I use this. I'd buy a bigger version without hesitation.
