Glide this luxe, deep sea moment over your skin for a deeply moisturising skin retreat. Full of intensely moisturising ingredients, this cream hydrates the skin while still feeling lightweight and wearable. Lovely worn alone or as a deeply moisturising treat under makeup. With all ingredients sustainably sourced and certified organic, I’m impressed by the emphasis of quality by this brand. They create their products with local ingredients, employing local people and supporting their communities. I love that they advocate for girls entering careers in STEM too!

A stunning product that I found myself reaching for every day. As winter approached, I appreciated it even more. I loved the scent and how it glides over my skin and absorbs effortlessly. It perfectly satisfied my dry and sensitive 40+ year-old skin. The glass jar and beautiful packaging also made using this product a truly luxurious experience. This brand excels in transparency regarding their sustainability, ethical practices, and social responsibilities. I particularly appreciate their efforts to give back, support their community, and keep everything local and in-house. They not only provide jobs but also make donations and highlight wellness within the community. I was impressed by their free online wellness resources, including the free sound therapy I used.

I like the light, clean scent and how it feels rich but not heavy on my skin. I appreciate that it is easy to apply without any waxiness or stickiness. It feels creamy and nourishing. I’m impressed by the use of the abundant and renewable resource of seaweed – and their harvesting with biodiversity and regeneration in mind. And by their support of women in sport. The paper and glass packaging is striking and unique.
