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.

What Are the Benefits You Can Derive from Using Organic Skin Care Products?

Skin care products that are made of chemicals are popular all over the world because they are so easy to obtain and apply. But there can be bad effects associated with their applications that most people are not aware of. Skin is the largest organ of our body, and when you understand that this important organ is being subjected to exposure to harsh pollution and toxicity on a daily basis, you realise how important it is to look after her. The worse fact is that we are subjecting our beleaguered skin to more harshness by using chemical laden skin care products.
Using most mass market skin care products will do more harm than good because the skin care products that we use contain synthetic ingredients. Many ointments, creams, moisturisers and face washes contain chemicals that may not be suitable for your skin. But skin care products made out of organic substances pose no such problems and organic body lotion made of natural ingredients will not only nourish your skin but also do no harm when applied.
Some of the benefits derived from the use of organic skin care products.
            Organic skin care cream or lotions will not irritate the skin because they contain only natural ingredients and not chemicals. Corrosive chemicals and artificial colors are added to chemically made skin care products, and these can cause irritation when they are applied to the skin.
            The toxic smells emitted by the application of artificially made skin care products can cause allergies to many people. This can cause illnesses like migraines, sinus problems, nausea and allergies.
            The constant application of artificially made creams and lotions will result in the chemicals entering the bloodstream. It is easy to imagine the problems this can cause to vital organs. This problem does not arise when you use organic skin care products as no internal problems will crop up when you apply them onto your skin.
            Artificially produced skin care creams and lotions can cause environmental damage even if they are only used in a small amount. But when a large amount of individuals are using these types of creams the damage caused by them also increases manifold.
            A product like organic face wash can help to retain beauty and youth in women because they don’t contain chemicals.   An artificially made face wash is likely to be harsh on the skin when applied for a sustained period.

Using skin care products made from natural ingredients is the best options because they cause no damage to skin and at the same time also protect the environment from chemical damage as well.

Organic Skin Care is better for Both You and the Earth

Cris Beethan, the lady behind Skin Blossom, created the company eight years ago, and her aim was to deliver a highly effective organic skin care range at an affordable price. She launched with just one product, Organic Hand Cream, and now the range has expanded to include all kinds of organic skin care. Cris is really proud of the fact that all of the Skin Blossom products are made in the UK and have achieved the very strict organic health & beauty standards laid down by the Soil Association. It is also important to note that none of the products available here are tested on animals, and Cris only buys ingredients from suppliers who she knows are cruelty-free too. All of the products are also registered with the Vegan Society, which means not only are they great for your skin but they are kind to the environment as well. 

There isn't really any regulation of the manufacture of skin and hair care products at the moment, which is quite a sobering, though. This means that potentially harmful chemicals may creep into any mass-marketed product that we may potentially use. Some potentially harmful ingredients that have been found in synthetic products include Polyethylene Glycol, Mercury and Nitrosamines. These chemical compounds can be easily absorbed through the skin, and then our bodies have no way of ridding itself of them. The toxins can then quickly spread through your body and may cause minor health issues. 

So, in order to protect your body, skin and hair from chemicals you may want to switch over to using organic skin care such as organic body lotion. The health and well-being market is booming at the moment, as more and more people are becoming concerned with trying to find products that are good for them and also good for the environment too. Buying your skin care and hair care products from a reputable Organic supplier such as Skin Blossom will mean that you are making the right choice for your body and the Earth.

Prevent Skin Damage with Organic Product Usage

Chemical based beauty products are gradually starting to lose their popularity amongst people, as they are finding that there are side effects to treating their skin with them. Many different cosmetic products available today are made with chemical components that can easily react with skin in a harmful way. Many times these products seem to be the miracle cure giving amazing results instantly, but long term use can cause skin to lose its natural elasticity and glow, and skin can end up looking worse than it did before. Also, if you use synthetically produced products on a regular basis your skin will be exposed to the chemicals within on a regular basis, and milder products will seem to have little or no effect on them. 

Some people have very sensitive skin that cannot bear the harshness of synthetic products, and they can have reactions such as itching, wrinkles, and dryness. Organic products have been shown to remove all chemically induced barriers, and can act as a better replacement for synthetic products. The most important quality of organic skin care products s that they have no harmful chemicals in their ingredients, and they act on the skin in a perfectly natural way. 

Organic hand cream is one such item that people are buying more and more off. If you think about it our hands suffer most during our day to day lives - pretty much everything we do is done with our hands: eating, washing, cooking, cleaning, writing, etc. They are subjected to many harsh chemicals on a daily basis, and so are often one of the places that show the first signs of aging - with things such as dark spots and wrinkles appearing. Organic hand cream is the best option for preventing hands getting too rough after prolonged use of conventional hand cream. 

Organic skin care is really good for people who have very sensitive skin, who may suffer from skin problems when using conventional mass market products. One of the main reasons for a decline in skin health is the slowing down of collagen production, and this can cause sagging on the face which can lead to wrinkles and fine lands.

Using Organic Eye Cream Will Be Very Beneficial for Your Eyes

Many factors contribute to how well your skin ages. Things like genetics, for example, can help determine whether you are fortunate enough to have minimal lines or excessive wrinkles around your eyes. However, regardless of what internal and external factors may be affecting your skin, in general, the use of a good moisturising organic eye cream may be able to help delay the signs of ageing - or at least possibly hide them temporarily!
Aestheticians will tell you that as your skin ages it tends to dry out more because the sebaceous glands produce less oil.  Using an organic eye cream with moisturising ingredients may help by preventing the onset of dryness in the eye area.  Also, because dry skin can cause fine lines to appear more prominently around the eyes, the organic eye cream will fill the spaces between the skin cells and therefore reduce the appearance of the wrinkles on your skin, at least for a short time. Beyond the reduction of dryness and wrinkles, a good organic eye cream can also help with the reduction of bagginess and puffiness around the eye.
The skin around the eye is of course very delicate, so you would be wise to avoid using harsh or irritating ingredients in this area. A good organic eye cream, like the Reviving Eye Cream from Skin Blossom, will be made from natural ingredients that will be calming on your skin. Skin Blossom's Reviving Eye Cream contains 85% organic ingredients, including Green Tea, Eye Bright and Buckwheat extract.
Research has shown that the skin around the eyes is thin enough to absorb the antioxidants found within Green tea, which help with reducing puffiness and swelling and can also help to constrict the blood vessels and so reduce dark circles. Eyebright is a plant that grows above ground and is famed for its astringent and anti-bacterial properties. Buckwheat extract is used a lot in Japan, as the Japanese believe it great for enhancing the performance of eyes. The combination of these ingredients helps to revive and restore the skin around the eyes.

Skin Blossom aims to deliver high-quality organic skin care products at affordable prices, and launched with just one product - our award winning organic hand cream. Over the past nine years, the range has expanded to include face care, body care and hair care and all products are certified to the very strict Soil Association organic health and beauty standards.
