Founded originally by Sandra and Iain Blackburn, the Pure Lakes brand was a vision created specifically in mind for those suffering with sensitive skin, and using only the best quality of plant ingredients. It is now owned by Claire and Gareth McKeever, whom were originally one of the first customers of the award winning skincare products. To this day the company still uses minimal processing in the products and only use recyclable packaging. Any plastic used is with eco-friendly biopolymer plastic that is sustainable. Every ingredient can be traced back to the source, so they know exactly what is going into the products.
I was sent the Soap Free Facial Cleanser in Rosehip Seed to test. Before I even opened the packaging, the gentle fragrance of rose enveloped my senses. I am a huge sucker for products that have an aromatherapy smell as they instantly give me the shoulder drop, I often need.
As a sufferer of dry, dehydrated mature skin (I'm 51 this year), I like products that are non-drying. This cleanser is formulated exactly for my skin type. It contains no harsh parabens, sulphates etc and includes ingredients such as:-
- Organic Aloe Barbadensis - Aloe Vera, contains anti-oxidants, is non-drying, soothing and calms inflammation.
- Prunus Amygodalus var dulcis - Sweet Almond Oil, known for nourishing the skin and contains optimum vitamin E so can help with blemishes and scarring.
- Persea Gratissima - Avocado Oil, rich in fatty acids that help keep the skin feeling soft and supple.
- Rosa Canina - Rosehip Seed, strengthens the skin's barrier and helps protect the skin from environmental pollutions such as smoke, city smog etc.
- Lavandula Angustifolia - helps sooth red, puffy skin. Is antiseptic and helps prevent bacterial infections.
The application is incredibly light, it doesn't lather (as soap free), but it eradicates all traces of grime and dirt just as well. A light amount massaged into the skin, then rinsed off with warm water was all I needed to leave my skin feeling incredibly soft. The testimony is that after use I actually forgot to put on moisturiser and didn't notice any difference!
The company have a beautiful range of Mothers Day gifts however, in the meantime I would urge you to visit their website and check out the 5 star customer reviews. You can click here for more info. Pure Lakes
