OV naturals LUSTROUS Botanical Facial Oil.

OV naturals bring to you the heart and soul collection of botanical face and body oils.
Formulated after a decade's experience by Orchard View naturals' aromatherapist, Lucy Stevens. Conditioning your skin and nourishing your wellbeing, the three point formulation system consists of skin - aromatics - energetics, It is formulated professionally by Lucy. The OV "Heart & Soul Collection" of Botanical Face & Body Oils is Lucy's latest & most advanced skincare collection.
The OV "Heart & Soul Collection" consists of six luxurios Formulas, one being the LUSTROUS Botanical Facial Oil that was sent to me. The ingredients chosen in each of the oils boost clinically proven benefits as well as Lucy Stevens’ first-hand experience of using oils in her therapy clinics for over a decade. The High Linoleic (Omega 6) oils are predominant in the Heart & Soul collection as these are fast absorbing & non-comedogenic making them suitable for all skin types, even acne.
Natural aromas have been carefully balanced to create multi-layered, aromatherapeutic blends and is concluded the impact that aromas have on our brains is extremely powerful.
The “energetic” aspect of essential oils is a vital element of the collection, which is carefully considered during formulation. In Lucy’s aromatherapy clinics, she asks her customers how they would like to feel after their treatment. She then selects essential oils which will help address these needs. These desired feelings are an inspiration for the OV Heart & Soul Collection, alongside the different skin concerns.

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.

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.
