Description
Unlike the skin on the arms and legs, the face is delicate and also the most exposed part of the body. For these reasons we’ve thoughtfully created this Eye and Face cream that is rich, moisturising and gentle and non-comedogenic (non pore-clogging). Blends of fair trade and organic shea butter with organic jojoba, sunflower seed oil and rose geranium essential oil, this little jar of goodness goes a long way with only a pea sized amount per application required.
Shea butter is the African treatment for skin conditions such as eczema, scarring sunburn, itching, insect bites & skin blemishes. Shea butter is the fat that is extracted from the nut from the shea (Karite) tree, mainly grown in West Africa. With its creamy texture it is a delight to apply to the skin. Scientific investigations have found that shea nut butter does not pose any known or likely allergy risk to consumers, including those with peanut or tree nut allergies. We use organic and fair trade shea butter which contains naturally occurring vitamins A, E & F, helping to maintain optimum skin health. Improving elasticity and abundant in fatty acids that help with collagen production, to help maintain youthful skin and with its mild SPF (thought to range from 4-6 SPF, naturally), anti-inflammatory properties and ability to reduce skin irritation shea butter is a true skin healer. Shea butter not only works on the surface of the skin, creating a protective barrier but it also penetrates deeply into the dermal layers of the skin to heal within.
Native to southern Arizona and California, jojoba oil has been used in skincare for centuries. Extracted by cold pressing the jojoba seed, jojoba oil, whilst called an oil, it is actually a liquid wax ester. Another non-comedogenic oil, jojoba oil is so alike to the skin’s own naturally produced oils (sebum) that it is readily absorbed without any oily residue and will consequently help regulate and balance excessively oily skin. Rich in vitamins A and E, and omega-6 fatty acids which are essential components of the skin’s barrier. This barrier protects on the skin’s surface and combined with the anti-inflammatory effects of the vitamin E, allows the skin to heal and regenerate its cells. It also acts as a humectant, meaning it works to retain moisture in the skin. Rich in antioxidants and with high anti-bacterial properties, jojoba oil is excellent in promoting skin health and combatting the ageing process and of course fighting skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis.
Our sunflower seed oil is cold pressed and organic for the ultimate in skincare. Sunflower seed oil is non-comedogenic and therefore does not clog the pores (which can create break-outs). Anti-oxidant rich sunflower seed oil helps neutralise free radicals which can damage our skin cells. Helping promote cell regeneration, this wonder oil is anti-inflammatory and is therefore ideal for many a skin condition where the skin becomes inflamed. The vitamin E that is naturally abundant in sunflower seed oil helps protect the collagen and elastin in the skin and is therefore considered anti-aging. This light and golden oil is also high in vitamin A which is a natural anti-oxidant and like vitamin E helps regenerate the skin cells.
Rose Geranium Oil: With its astringent properties, rose geranium can also help reduce enlarged pores. It is a balancing oil so can do wonders for balancing out uneven skin tone. Being anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-fungal anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-septic it is incredible with treating acne, blemishes and spots. Due to its antiviral and antifungal components, rose geranium oil helps strengthen the immune system and can help maintain general well being by eliminating infections. The balancing and anti-inflammatory qualities of this oil make it excellent for helping with rosacea and general soothing and calming of the skin. Rose Geranium also has benefits for the mind too. It is known to help boost mood, uplift and help fight depression.

I first bought this little jar of heaven last September whilst on holiday in Wales. I tend to use it at night as the scent is just wonderful to go to bed with. Used sparingly, it has lasted ages. A little goes a long way and the scent is just as lovely as the day I opened the jar. I’ve just bought another and will be trying the facial scrub at some point also. Thank you for such a well thought out, sustainable product!
Heavenly Organics –
Thank you so much Vikki!

I recently bought this for a day cream, it has such a lovely smell, I also bought the camomile one for bed time.
I was looking for something that only had a few ingredients so I knew exactly what was going on my skin.
When applying, a little bit does go a long way so it should last a very long time, not to greasy if you don’t put to much on and absorbs nicely, leaving me feeling smooth and fresh.
Defiantly a win in my books!

Very pleased to have found Heavenly Organics. I have been searching for products without lots of added chemicals. My parcel arrived promptly and was was well wrapped. The cream smells fantastic, a little goes a long way. I also bought the rose geranium facial scrub and clay cleanser (part of the sample selection) a good way to try out your products. I will be recommending your products to my friends and family. Thank you.

I use this Rose Geranium face & eye cream as the final step in my daily face care (I use the matching face scrub (twice a week), clay cleanser & facial oil too). The products are so good for my skin and the scent…..it’s just divine. It’s good for the mind and soul as well as my skin. It’s a full aromatherapy experience and feels so luxurious.

I love this eye & face cream. It smells divine. I would like to say that I love Mary-Anne’s tutorials because you can clearly see how *little* of each product you need. After applying the cream to my face I clasp my hands over my nose and mouth and inhale this beautiful uplifting aroma few times.
Heavenly Organics –
Thank you so much for your review, Rafaël. I love how you use the cream and take full advantage of the aroma! A little really does go a long way doesn’t it!
