Our picks
Our Reishi Mushroom Adaptogenic Complex is a velvety hot chocolate blend with reishi and maca, the Magnesium Glycinate Sleep Complex is a berry bedtime drink, and the CBD Balm is lovely for a shoulder or foot massage. Our Broad Spectrum CBD Capsules are small, tasteless and travel-friendly. All are vegan and made in the UK. See bundles for gift sets.
The FSA’s 10mg a day figure for CBD is precautionary advice rather than a legal limit, set while longer-term safety research continues. At Evopure we think it is a very cautious figure, and many adults use more. If you go above it, increase slowly, and check with your GP or pharmacist first if you take any medication.
How to build a self-care stocking
- Pick a theme: sleep, pamper, recovery or cosy nights in.
- Add one “hero” gift, such as a balm or an evening drink.
- Fill around it with 3 or 4 small extras: socks, a candle, tea, an eye mask.
- Add a note with a self-care idea for the new year.
