Monday, July 14th, 2008

I came about this product whilst searching the internet for something to hydrate my itchy, sore, eczema inflamed hands after trying numerous products so far. This has been my best find yet. The two main ingredients are Cardiospermum halicacabum seed extract, otherwise known as Balloon Vine, and Echium oil cold pressed.

Earthbound Organics Cream Cleanser

Saturday, May 10th, 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 […]

Neal’s Yard Remedies Rose Facial Oil

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

After reading many good reviews of this product I decided to give it a try for myself. It is now perhaps my favourite product for 2007.  Targeted at dry, sensitive skins I see no problem in using this for all skin types since it not only contains rose absolute oil but also geranium and patchouli. […]

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Promising a"burst of radiance to the complexion" this elixir really does just that. Made without parabens and petrochemicals this refreshing spray is fraganced with 100% natural aromas of grape, orange blossom, rose organic balm mint and rosemary.
It is a little pricey at around £25 and therefore I do not use this as a toner everyday, […]

Suki Exfoliating Lemongrass Cleanser

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I was so pleased to discover the Suki range in my nearest natural healthcare co-op "Eighth Day" located on Manchester Oxford Road, Manchester, UK. It was the packaging that initially caught my eye; simple and attractive but mostly bright. Since I had not set out to buy a product for a particular need the choice […]
