Description
Treat your skin to the best that nature can offer. A luxurious, antioxidant light-textured day-cream which is fully absorbed leaving the skin soft and velvety smooth. Deeply moisturising with shea butter, jojoba oil, coconut oil, aloe leaf, and the essential oil and hydrolat of damask roses. The cold-pressed plant oils, naturally high in antioxidants of vitamins A & E, and sea buckthorn help counteract the ageing and collagen-destroying effects of 'free radicals' and sunlight. Please note that this moisturiser is also suitable as an eye cream.
Directions
Margaret's Tip: Also an excellent antioxidant eye or neck cream thanks to its light texture and toning qualities of 3 precious rose extracts.

I liked the scent of this and found it perfect for day moisturising but it does lack any sun protection.

Weakest points
* It tends to separate if left standing so needs a bit of a shake to remix the ingredients. This may be because all the ingredients are natural and there are no chemical emulsifiers.
* No SPF

Summary
This product comes from a company with good ethics and bears the Soil Association kite mark. The travel sized sample comes in a squeezy tube, but the full sized version has a sealed. pump action dispenser, which is very neat and convenient bottle, light and useful for travel use.
If left to stand for a while you may notice that the product has separated when first dispensed, and it would be wise to give the bottle a shake before use. The cream has a very light texture, which I found not to be nourishing enough for a whole day for my dry, eczema prone skin, but would suit most skin types. (For dryer or mature skin types I would highly recommend their avocado moisturiser, which I think is absolutely amazing for my skin). The fragrance is quite light, not too strongly scented of rose, which may please many users. It will not interfere with the fragrance the wearer chooses to wear.
