Why should you choose Organic Eye Cream?

You probably already use a moisturiser on your face every day so why do you need an eye cream too? The skin around your eyes is extremely delicate and so a little extra care is always welcome and additional products can help. The thin skin around the eyes makes them susceptible to blemishes like dark skin, fine lines and puffiness which can be uncomfortable and make you feel self-conscious. However, with the right organiceye cream you can get rid of these blemishes and feel more confident in your skin.

Why is an eye cream a great investment? The skin on our body is not created equal and the skin around the eyes is much thinner than on other parts of the body and also, due to the tiny muscles found there, it is particularly sensitive and is easy prey for a range of skin issues such as discolouration, puffiness, wrinkles, crow’s feet and fine lines. Around your eyes you may find your skin is also dry as the area is not rich in oil glands and this is why a balanced and moisturising organic eye cream, made from pure natural ingredients can make a real difference. The cream can also help ensure that you prevent any future skin conditions in the area.

Puffiness in the eyes is caused by fluid build-up which results in swelling in the tissue around the eyes. The issue is often caused by sinus problems, allergic reactions, excessive alcohol consumption, bad diet, insufficient sleep and of course, ageing. Natural ingredients such as cucumber and caffeine are great help for reducing swelling in the eyes and are often included in some form or another in the ingredients of eye creams on the market. Another common problem that plagues the eyes is dark circles which could be due to several things from your genes to insufficient sleep to stress, smoking or overexposure to the sun. This kind of discolouration can be treated and reduced by vitamins such as C and K, koji acid and even liquorice extract.


It is important for you to choose the right organic product for your eyes as they are the best treatment for your eyes and deliver generally much better results than conventional creams and lotions. An organic body lotion has the ability to help retaining water in the skin and boost hydration to keep it from drying. It is important for your skin to be hydrated all the time and organic body lotions and creams are suited for this purpose because they don’t usually result in any side effects and they naturally help to hydrate your skin.  Contact Skin Blossom at info@skinblossom.co.uk to discuss their range of organic skincare products.

Eco-Friendly Organic Products work in Harmony with the Skin

Skin is the human body’s largest organ and also its most exposed. It keeps our organs protected and helps create the appearance we are known by, giving us personality and the markers that make us recognisable. Skin is the first line of defence against the environment, and it protects the body from excess water loss and dangerous pathogens. Other functions of the skin include temperature regulation, insulation and production of Vitamin D.  Skin thickness varies at different places across the body and the skin under the eyes is amongst the thinnest and one of the first places where the features of age may be seen.

As well as the eyes the skin on the hand is also one of the first areas which show visible signs of ageing and the wear and tear that comes with regular use. The skin on the hand is vulnerable as it is regularly exposed to water, dirt other external elements and with years of domestic chores and work the skin does become tired. The skin of the hand can easily become cracked and sore and rough over the years and while you may choose to wear gloves to protect your hands some of the time, they can’t be worn for every task and more care needs to be taken to look after your skin. To repair the damage to your hands, an organic hand cream can help bring back their former softness and help them to feel gently nourished, a much better alternative to chemical-based creams and lotions that could prove more damaging in the long run.


Choosing organic skin care is the best option for your body as natural ingredients are much more suited to the skin than those created from corrosive chemicals. The skin reacts naturally and recognises the natural properties of organic ingredients, and it absorbs them more easily as well as benefitting from their effects more quickly. Traditional skin care products often contain excess water, chemical compounds that include corrosive and harmful elements and, therefore, it’s no surprise that some people have reactions and are irritated by them. Organic products work with the skin to help it repair and rejuvenate and at Skin Blossom, we specialise in products that are made only from natural kinds of butter, oils and extracts. You can view our full range at our website – www.skinblossom.co.uk and also find out more about the range we have to offer, including the organic ingredients used.

How do Organic Products differ from Conventional Ones on the market?

More and more people are waking up and realising the benefits of organic products. Organic alternatives are becoming more common on food menus and even in household cleaning items and people are gradually seeing the benefits of organic cosmetics and beauty products too. The interest in and demand for organic skin care products is growing as people recognise that their skin needs protecting from many of the chemicals they find in traditional cosmetics and beauty products. Products such as organic face wash and organic shampoos are becoming hugely popular universally because people recognise the eco-friendly nature of the products but also the benefits for the long-term quality and health of the skin, when compared with the chemical-rich alternatives.
Organic skin care products have to be natural, they are required to prove their natural ingredients to be able to describe themselves as organic and therefore, you can’t be duped into picking up what you think is an organic product and find it is something else as to use the word means the product has been fairly tested and proven to be 100% natural. Whilst there are stricter rules in the food and drinks industry with regard to the chemicals which can be used in the production of their products it is very different in health and beauty. There is no law against the use of a wide range of dangerous chemicals from parabens to carcinogens so it is down to the individual consumer to recognise the benefits of making the switch. Opting for organic skincare products means you’ve made the most sensible decision for the protection of your skin and you can feel safe in the knowledge that you are avoiding a whole host of potentially harmful chemicals.
Many recognisably harmful ingredients can be found in artificially produced skin care products, including things such as Mercury, Dioxane, Nitrosamines, DEA, Cyclomethicone, Ammonium LaurethSulfate, Alcohol, Isopropyl (SD-40), Polyethylene Glycol and more. These are all chemical compounds which can be toxic in higher levels and whilst they have obviously been tested for cosmetic use, it’s more beneficial for your skin and body to avoid them altogether.
All conventional skin and hair care products are popular because of their convenience, price and often due to advertising campaigns but the organic alternative is an area anyone who is interested in their health should explore. At Skin Blossom we create 100% natural skin care products which are effective in hydrating and caring for your skin without being excessively priced.
