MOA Organic skincare comes to FLINT
Clean, eco, ethically made, beautifully packaged, efficient yet gentle are a few of the watchwords we look for when seeking out new skincare products for our shelves. And whilst there's an absolute myriad of skincare lines on the market, our aim is to narrow it down for you a bit by looking for niche brands that really deliver. We road test every product we sell and the idea of sharing the knowledge is an aspect of the shop that we really love.
The latest company to catch our eye is this one - MOA Organic. Their philosophy is based around mystical folklore with a 'sprinkling of magic' and they infuse their products with a miraculous ingredient - Yarrow (Achillea millefolium). Used for centuries for its healing, soothing and repairing properties, this amazing herb is now sown and grown by hand by MOA, in Somerset.
We've been so impressed by this range, especially their Green Balm, an amazing multi-tasking product that can ease scarring, calm itchy skin, soothe dry patches but one that also works as a brilliant facial cleanser. Used with their bamboo face cloth, it also gives your complexion an invigorating massage.. It's also great to keep on the nightstand to use last thing before bed to moisturise and soften your hands. Each and every product has a clean, herbal scent to it, especially the Fortifying Bath Potion which with it's invigorating and revitalising essential oils of peppermint, fennel, sweet birch and fir needle, eases muscles and is the perfect addition to your evening bath after a cold day.
We're pleased to say all the products in the range are packaged without the need for plastic. MOA use glass bottles or jars and cardboard containers, which naturally ticks another box for us...
We love introducing our customers to apothecary brands that have real integrity. Call in to try some out for yourself or click here to treat yourself via our online shop....
Our florist Julia has quite a following here in Sussex.. her fresh, seasonal flowers are a strong feature in our shop and has garnered fans far and wide. Her signature look of naturally inspired posies and arrangements often combine seeds and grasses and berries that she's foraged from the hedgerows around Lewes and help create a really natural and organic feel to her work that our customers love.
This season we felt it might be nice to add another dimension to our flower table and having been seduced by the beauty of these preserved flowers, our florist Julia has been inspired and has been happily creating a range of lovely posies and arrangements to sell at the shop. We've put a small selection online for you to buy if you don't live nearby.
We've also been working on a range of decorative wreaths that work beautifully as table centre pieces... The flowers we use are of first rate quality and have a natural, organic feel to them. The flowers are wired onto a copper wire frame and will last a lifetime..
In the meantime, as the curtain is drawn on another successful year, we would like to thank all our wonderful and treasured customers for their continued support. We wish you all a very happy Christmas and are looking forward to seeing you again in the New Year.
We reopen our doors on Tuesday 2nd January 2018, 10-6pm

The flip side to winter and the colder weather it brings, is the chance to layer up in cosy cashmere and wool, to cover up in a favourite enveloping coat, piling scarves over the top as a finishing touch. And you know, you can never have enough scarves....
Our latest collection includes seasonal colours of burnt orange and russet brown, winter white and mossy green, as well as all the neutrals from grey to cream that we are well known for. In textures ranging from cotton to cashmere, we have selected a collection for every pocket, making them ideal for gift giving. Click on our Accessories page or here, to see our online edit.
The onset of Winter brings a change of mood.. the transition can be sudden, like a sharp intake of breath as the weather turns unexpectedly colder, bringing with it the need to wrap up in layers, and the more softer and sumptuous, the better. The latest FLINT deliveries are not only the glitter and sparkle of Christmas baubles and wreaths that continue to arrive at the shop. Our traditional felted wool slippers in charcoal grey have just arrived from Denmark and pair beautifully with the warm brushed cotton tunics that work equally well for lounging at home or layered under and over knitwear as the temperature drops. Scarves and shawls in fairtrade cashmere are the ultimate in luxurious comfort so why not go all the way and give into temptation?
These new candles have also just arrived in store and are available on our webshop by clicking here or call in to our store to see just how lovely they are when lit. They make such nice presents for friends as they're a little bit unusual. The twisted design makes the most beautiful shape as it burns down..
