I'm sorry - my books are closed to new clients until February 2026. I am simply too full up to be able to look after new clients properly. You are welcome to email or message me to go on the waitlist, or to chat about whether we are the right fit.

The background:

I always put new products through a testing process, and would love you to be part of the product development. NZ only, sorry

The latest serum was formulated for a couple of specific clients, but I loved it so much that I decided to put it through the process to add it to the range.

If you evaluate it for me, you get a free one product, and all I ask is for your feedback.

Koha for shipping would be lovely, but is absolutely not expected.

I have a couple of iterations, and I want to test them across a range of people, before determining which formulation to use.

So far, teenagers and people in their 40s have tested it, all with Anglo-Celtic skin ancestry. I need more variety in age, skin type, and occupation/environment.

What happens:

IF you are selected, you'll be sent a serum and a questionnaire. I’m making the questionnaire hard copy, as not everyone finds online forms easy to use. You use the serum for 4 weeks, then send me your completed questionnaire.

If you are interested: Please reply to the newsletter, or email herbalist@elizabethbedford.co.nz separately  with your:
