To prep skin to absorb the nutrients from the day cream, this luxurious pre-moisturiser treat softens and revitalises skin while improving suppleness, all thanks to a potent cocktail of active organic ingredients and botanicals. It softens, revitalises and improves skin's suppleness.
Retailing at $46.90 for a 30ml size, this new organic range from The Body Shop certainly looks promising with their EcoCert certification and being on IT list 2011 of Elle Beauty. I don't hold their skincare products in high regards in the past, because their products always seemed overpriced to me, for the benefits it claimed and most products do not deliver. At least, those I have tried before, on my skin.
Key Ingredients :
Organic babassu oil - a versatile, light, moisturising oil, beneficial for both dry and oily complexions.
Community Trade organic aloe vera - renowned for its incredible soothing and hydrating properties.
Organic olive oil - effectively smoothes, softens and soothes the skin.
2 good friends of mine are fans of this smoothing serum so I decided to try it, when one of them passed me 2 sachets of it. The 2 sachets, each at 1.5ml lasted me for about a week's usage. The product is said to guard against the first signs of aging.
It has a light and pleasant scent with a lightweight texture that is runny. After application, the skin feels slightly tacky and sticky. I preferred to spray a mist prior to application and it made the skin feels soft and supple. I have no problem with layering a moisturiser on top of it.
Stated on the sachet, its written that 99% of the total ingredients are from natural origin and 34% of the total ingredients are from organic farming.
Looking at the ingredients, it appears to have too many fragrance components that do nothing much to help the skin.
