Earthbound Organics Cream Cleanser
By Lilly Loves | May 10, 2008
This is a great cleansing balm for normal, dry, sensitive and mature skins. The minimal ingredients of Organic Sunflower oil, Rose water, Organic Camomile, Organic Calendula, Organic carrot and local beeswax have been a godsend to my excema prone skin which is easily irritated by certain essential oils and synthetic perfumes in regular products.
Calendula is well known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties and is widely used externally for sunburn, excema and wounds slow to heal. Likewise Camomile, in particular German Camomile, soothes inflamed skin due to its primary active ingredient bisabolol which is also anti-irritant and anti-microbial. Rose water is well tolerated by all skin types.
For best use massage into dry skin and remove with damp cotton wool or a muslin cloth. I found it necessary to use a toner afterwards but not necessarily a moisturiser since this left my skin feeling adequately moisturised. If you prefer a "squeaky" clean feel, a rinseable cleanser or have very oily skin then this is not for you. Anyone with sensitive skin with or without excema or rosacea should carry out a patch test prior to use and is not recommended for anyone with a known allergy to flowers belonging to the daisy family Asteraceae.
