Banish those hippie ideas. This woman is as label-conscious as she is environmentally aware. Marketers refer to her as a Loha, meaning she seeks to live a life of health and sustainability, but friends and family know her as a warm-hearted bohemian beauty drawn to an eclectic array of keepsakes.

Savar Nourishing Body Lotion 500ml Limited Edition $49.99
Natural, locally made brands will always appeal to conscious consumers, so Savar's generous glassful of goodness is certain to please. The body lotion is enriched with primrose oil and extracts of fig and passionflower. For stockists see savaronline.com.

Royal Apothic Fig roll-on fragrance $29.99
Vials of fragrance oil are portable options to perfumes, allowing for easy re-application on pulse points. Royal Apothic's glass rollerballs come in a range of choices. From Isabel Harris, isabelharris.co.nz.

Karen Murrell Lipstick in Camellia Morning $29.95
This dusky cerise pink shade inspired by nature is kind to it, too, with the lipstick's cornstarch container being biodegradable and the natural ingredients hydrating and healthy. From selected pharmacies and health stores, karenmurrell.com.
