Pilgrim 55 Natural Organic Skincare.

Pilgrim 55 is a brand dedicated to producing the best natural organic skincare possible in a sustainable, environmentally friendly and ethically positive way.
Pilgrim's products are made with the best natural ingredients prioritising organic ingredients where ever possible, resulting in their products generally being between 70% and 90% organic (depending on suppliers).
Ensuring what they put in to their products is the best quality, is of course important, but they feel that what they leave out of their products is just as important. This is why you will never see Parabens, Sulphates, Silicon-derived Emollients, Petroleum and Mineral Oils, Diethanolamine (DEA), Triethanolamine (TEA) or Ethyl and Isopropyl Alcohol, all these ingredients are important to look out for and avoid when buying natural organic skincare.

Pilgrim 55 as a brand and Tyne Cosmetics LTD as a company take its environmental obligations very seriously and has always been at the company’s heart since formation. They recycle and use recycled where ever possible. All of their paper, card and media stock is painstakingly sourced from sustainable forestry or from 100% recycled stock. Encouraging their customers to return their packaging to them, in order to be recycled. 
The brand is produced as efficiently as possible, using as little energy as they can whilst in production and the energy they use is renewable. As a company they aim to be carbon negative in the near future. This means that they will actually be removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The companies dream is to show companies big and small that you can have a successful, profitable company but can actively contribute to reversing global warming.
Pilgrim 55 offer a collagen retinol moisturiser that contains the most natural finest ingredients to tackle anti-aging concerns. Specific anti-aging ingredients found in fruit extracts, as well as anti-aging argan oil and dark circle reducing arnica oils, the retinol moisturiser is your reach for product to transform and nourish skin with each application. The collagen retinol moisturiser delivers collagen to the skins dermis layer preventing wrinkles whilst leaving skin hydrated and moisturised. Containing a natural source of Vitamin A found in passion fruit oil and green tea extract, Vitamin A assists in fibroblast formation, resulting in tighter, firmer skin.

Applying the Pilgrim 55 collagen retinol moisturiser to a clean face and neck. Avoid rubbing the product in harshly, but delicately tap and blend lightly for the moisturiser to absorb into skin. The consistency is perfect, as its feels almost air whipped but has a thick non-drip formulation that glides over skin with ease. No fragrance is detected and the moisturiser absorbs into skin leaving a smooth hydrated base, ready for application of your sunscreen. Applying morning and night, you can apply serums before application and your favourite facial oil afterwards, the moisturiser fits into your skincare regime with ease whilst adding anti-aging benefits.
Pilgrim 55 marine collagen eye gel tones, smooths and rejuvenates your eye area. Blended with arnica oil to help reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles to help achieve a rested and awake appearance. Combining marine collagen with fruit extracts that delicately tackle the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, the eye gel is rich in anti-oxidants and inhibits collagenase, the enzyme which breaks down collagen, preventing the formation of wrinkles.

Pilgrim 55 Marine Collagen Eye Gel Ingredients:
Aqua Vegetable glycerin Phenoxyethanol & Ethylhexylglycerin Carbomer Aloe barbadensis leaf powder Polysorbate 20 Sodium hydroxide Persea gratissima (Avocado oil) Argania spinosa (Argan oil) Camellia sinensis leaf (Green tea extract) Passiflora incarnata (Passionfruit seed oil) Arnica montana flower extract (Arnica oil) Pyrus malus (Apple extract) Aqua and hydrolyzed collagen (Marine Collagen).
Apply the Pilgrim 55 marine collagen eye gel to cleansed skin under the eye area. It is important to dab the eye gel around the area instead of massaging in, leaving the gel to soak into the skin.
It is important to never drag any product around the eye area, the skin in that area is much finer than the rest of your face and can cause collagen breakdown and broken capillaries. The eye gel feels extremely hydrating on application and absorbs into the skin under two minutes. I did notice a firming and tightening sensation and the area looked plumped even hours after the eye gel was applied. You can also apply the eye gel throughout the day, over products, if you need a quick fix refresh of your eye area. 

Pilgrim 55 natural organic skincare range offers a complete range for skincare beginners, or if your wanting to overhaul your existing skincare regime. A cleanser. serum, moisturiser, eye gel and many more products are all situated in classic packaging catering for all the skin types. Not only do the products efficiently work to achieve their task their labelled to do, but most importantly you can be rest assured that what your putting onto your skin is natural organic skincare.

Dr Botanicals - Moroccan Rose Light Summer Cream.

The Dr Botanicals Moroccan Rose Light Summer Cream is a lightweight cream formulated with rose to protect and repair the skin. Dr Botanicals believe oils and plant extracts can make a genuine difference to skin. Never tested on animals, this range embodies their belief in the potent power of botanicals. The main active ingredients in the Moroccan Rose Light Summer Cream formulation are: Rose Flower Water: Works to calm and soothe the skin, reducing any redness for a more even complexion. Coconut Oil: Works to hydrate and balance dry and irritated skin. Tiare Flower Extract: Aims to deeply moisturise, nourish and purify the skin.
Situated in a beautifully decorated 50ml tube with a twist off cap, the Moroccan Rose Light Summer Cream is dispensed by squeezing the tube a little. You will instantly notice the stunning fragrance that enlightens your senses from the heady sweet but floral aroma, thanks to the ingredient Hydroxycitronellal which is a perfume ingredient with a medium strength floral scent, reminiscent of lily and sweet tropical melon . If your skin does not tolerate fragrance in products then this cream will not be suitable for you, as u can read from the ingredients.
Dr Botanicals Moroccan Rose Light Summer Cream Ingredients:
Aqua (water), Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate SE. Cetearyl Alcohol, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Stearic Acid, Cocus Nucifera (Coconut Oil), lsoceteth-20, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Bakuchiol, Carbomer, Parfum (Fragrance), Polyacrylamide, C13- 14 Isoparaffin, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dehydroacetic Acid, Laureth-7, Benzyl Salicylate, Gardenia Tahitensis (Tiare Flower) Extract, Alpha-isomethyl lonone, Limonene, Coumarin, Hydroxycitronellal, CI 17200 (Red 33).
Smoothing Dr Botanicals Product over face and neck daily after cleansing, this light vegan friendly cream does instantly absorb into the skin leaving a smooth and hydrated base. Applying serums and gels before the application of the Moroccan Rose Light Summer Cream works extremely well if you follow a layering skincare regime. I did experience a slight residue felt on the skin and this is because of the emollient ingredient Glycerin, as well as the ingredient C13- 14 Isoparaffin, which is a mixture of mineral oils derived from petroleum. 
We all know the debate about mineral oils, but if your skin can tolerate such products then its down to the users preference. The cream also contains Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to Retinol, is a meroterpene phenol derived from Indian Psoralea corylifolia (Babchi) leaves and seeds. Limited research has shown that this ingredient seems to have restorative activity. The ingredient Cocos Nucifera oil is good for ultimate soft and moist skin care. Cocos Nuciferaoil is also known to help individuals with skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis and maintaining acne breakout in control.
The Rosa Damascena Flower Water is an aqueous solution of the steam distillate obtained from the flowers of Rosa damascena which offers skin benefits such as skin conditioning and skin protecting.
Using the Moroccan Rose Light Summer Cream would benefit those who are wanting a light cream without feeling heavy or greasy on the skin, but only if your skin can tolerate fragrance skincare products. Visit Dr Botanicals Moroccan Rose Light Summer Cream to find out more. X Neil.

High Performance Vitamin C Facial Serum - Anthony

The high performance Anthony Vitamin C Facial Serum is filled with a stabilised Vitamin C to protect skin against free radicals, while stimulating its production of collagen. A unique blend of peptides and AHA's rejuvenate, retexturize and brighten skin, while licorice root extract helps to create an even skin tone.
The serum is a product to include in your skincare if you are looking for an anti-ageing product that can help prevent premature ageing, whilst also helping to transform damaged skin caused by stresses such as the sun. The other tasks the serum can achieve is by boosting moisture levels even in the driest of skin types, whilst also soothing skin with the help of its energising cucumber extract.

The Anthony Vitamin C Facial Serum contains NO Parabens. Phthalates, DEA, Animal Derived Ingredients, GMO's, while the company is against animal testing.
The skincare product has been allergy and dermatologist tested. Ingredients:
Aqua (Water, Eau), Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Maris Aqua (Sea Water, Eau de Mer), Citrus Bigaradia (Neroli) Oil, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Citrus Bigaradia (Neroli) Extract, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Extract, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Plankton Extract, Butylene Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Xanthan Gum, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Carrageenan, Hydrolyzed Algin, Trehalose, Polysorbate 20, Triacetin, Polyquaternium-51, Sodium PCA, Urea, Carbomer, Sodium Lactate, Salicylic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Benzoic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Benzethonium Chloride, Dehydroacetic Acid.
Anthony Vitamin C Facial Serum - How To Use.
Apply the high performance serum daily to cleansed skin in the morning and in the evening.
The high performance Anthony Vitamin C Facial Serum should be the first product applied to the skin as its water soluble. Containing the Vitamin C ingredient Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, also easily recognised as MAP, is a derivative of Vitamin C. It is more stable in water unlike the purest form of Vitamin C and has been shown to offer specific skin brightening benefits, more so than other derivatives of Vitamin C. Applying to the face, the serum glides over skin and absorbs in seconds leaving no trace of itself. Skin is left instantly hydrated with a smooth and soft texture ready for you to apply your moisturiser. It is important you apply a sunscreen after your moisturiser due to photosensitivity that is increased when using a product with AHA's included. AHA's are excellent in serums as they are applied directly to the skin, contain smaller molecules than a cream and have longer in contact with the skin to work. The Anthony Vitamin C Facial Serum can easily be introduced into your skincare routine and can be purchased at MaleSkin, the online shop for all skincare, offering a wide range of information and news, to help you with your skin concerns. Add the Vitamin C Serum in your regime to see and feel the benefits. X Neil.
