Why use natural skincare?

Skin ageing is caused primarily by free radical oxidative stress. This attacks cells and reduces the amount of collagen in your skin, which then reduces elastin. Your skin can start to look dull and tired and show the signs of ageing such as lines, wrinkles, sagging and crepey skin.

To combat this, you need powerful, potent antioxidants which are found in plants, plant oils and beeswax.

Many skincare products contain ingredients that work against our skin so reducing the amount of unhelpful toxins we put on our skin and using natural skincare instead, is one way to do that.

Keeping it natural can really improve the texture of your skin. Beware of big brand promises, quite often they don’t do what they claim. For instance, products that contain humectants (attract water) don’t also contain an occlusive (seals in moisture) therefore your skin can dehydrate and become drier. Opt for products such as Cuckmere Organics that contain everything your skin needs.

Many high street creams and lotions contain up to 80% water, petrochemical derived emollients and harsh anti bacterial chemicals to stabilise and prevent mould. Our skin does not do well with these synthetic ingredients.

All our products are made with carefully selected, undiluted, beneficial ingredients so you can be sure you are putting the most safe and effective products onto your skin.
