Green People are an incredible brand, so I was super excited to try out one of their new products! The Alexandra Kay Time to Ease Relaxing Body Oil was created to help relax muscles, ease tension and nourish skin with natural ingredients.
The collection was created by Alexandra Kay, who had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and sadly passed away before the body oils were launched. Time to Ease is inspired by Alexandra Kay’s health journey and the way in which massage helped to ease muscle pain. Green People are donating 10% of their net profits for 2021 to Ehlers-Danlos Support UK – a fantastic charity.

I’ve absolutely loved using this – it’s so relaxing and completely refreshes your muscles. The scent is relaxing and offers lovely aromatherapy benefits. All of my aches, pains and tensions vanish after a few minutes with this oil!
