Rawganic – organic sensitive skincare

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Did you know? It is estimated that up to 60% of what we put on our skin gets absorbed into the body. Feed and protect your skin with beneficial organic oils. On average, organic ingredients contain higher levels of vitamin C and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and chromium as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants.

If you want silky smooth skin and are a fan of natural, organic ingredients then the Rawganic range is just what you’re looking for.

Manufactured in the UK by Marshall Curtis, the range has been dermatologically tested, is completely free of parabens, contains no artificial perfumes or colourings, is non-GM and has not been tested on animals. Plus, the whole range (which includes fabulous 100% organic cotton facial cleansing wipes, refreshing Apple and Elderflower Body Wash and award-winning Wild Chamomile and Olive Hand and Body lotion) is Soil Association and Vegetarian Society accredited..

I am definitely seeing an increase in the number of clients who have sensitive skin – in fact, almost 90% of the population will have sensitive skin at some point in their life! For clients who regularly suffer with sensitivity, the ingredients of the skin care products that they use is of the up-most importance to them, as using products which could potentially irritate their skin is something that they try to avoid as much as possible. I am often asked by brides who have sensitive skin which brands of skincare/ makeup I use before they make a booking with me, so I know how important ingredients are to these clients – which is why I was really interested to try these products for my brides and give them feedback on the quality of the products. All of the products in this range are priced under £10 each – so this is definitely an affordable way to use Organic skincare.

The texture of the products is beautiful and the smell is so fresh and clean,  it is definitely a unisex product that all of the family can use. The body products were gorgeous - but I have to say that the biggest revelation for me was the Organic Facial Cleansing Wipes! As a makeup artist, I go through packets of facial wipes! Finding a brand that doesn’t irritate the eye area on every client can sometimes be a challenge – but now I have found the answer, these facial wipes are simply brilliant.

 The wipes are based on a 100% organic cotton fabric that has no chemical binders or brightening agents, just organic cotton so they are completely biodegradable. The wet cleansing liquid is a blend that has been specially balanced for skin contact. It contains natural cleansers, skin conditioners and emollients so they are naturally soothing and conditioning. The pH is carefully controlled to around 5.5 to match the skin pH of most people so it does not sting like some conventional wipes. They are dermatologically tested. I’m a huge fan!!
