Cleanse & Polish The Results

Blueberry Seed Oil

BLUEBERRY SEED OIL
(Vaccinium myrtillus)

High in potent antioxidants, we use blueberry seed oil in our Environmental Defence Cream SPF 25, as it helps the cream work as a natural shield against blue light. Thanks to its high fatty acid composition, it also supports skin’s natural moisture barrier, resulting in hydrated and nourished skin. Sustainably sourced and produced; we extract this ingredient from 100% upcycled blueberries – a waste product of the juice production industry.

Lingonberry Seed Oil

LINGONBERRY SEED OIL
(Vaccinium vitis-idaea)

Known to be a powerful antioxidant with a reputation as a health-promoting superfruit, we use lingonberry seed oil in our Environmental Defence Cream SPF 25, as it helps the cream work as a natural shield against blue light. This botanical is also known for its conditioning properties and for helping boost skin’s natural moisture barrier. We source these wild self-sustainable berries from Finland and Sweden.

Shea Butter

SHEA BUTTER
(Butyrospermum parkii)

Renowned for its excellent emollient properties and ability to help improve the barrier function of the skin, we source our shea butter from West Africa, where the pulp of the fruit is removed to reveal the kernel, which is boiled and dried in the sun before being shelled for pressing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lovely product I love using this product to smooth out my skin without feeling heavy. Would definitely recommend

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Allergic reaction to the cream I did initially love the cream, however after 2 days my face was red and I developed lumps (blisters) on my skin, and was reacting to the product. I have used Liz Earle for years, from body cream to face cream and never had such a reaction. Returning unfortunately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My skin glows when I wear this! Love this product whether I'm wearing it just on top of my moisturiser or under my foundation. I've been told my skin looks like it glows! It lasts all day and doesn't become greasy as the day goes on. This will be my second purchase of this product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great protection Due to a history of skin cancer, I need to protect my face even more. Sunscreen under foundation isnt comfortable but this is really lovely. A tint when used alone, but great under foundation for extra protection.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lovely tinted moisturiser I bought this without realising it is tinted, but having tried it I am very hapoy with the result. It is light enough to wear under make-up but I find I can wear it on its own, on days when I am not going far. It gives my skin a lovely glow, hides the dark circles and feels good on my skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant Moisturiser Very good moisturiser for the summer. Smooths out wrinkles and avoids your face going red in the sunshine

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Surprisingly good This is perfect for my needs. It gives my face a lovely matte affect and works perfectly as a light base under my makeup. It does have an odd smell to it, but it isn’t noticeable after a couple minutes. It is nice not to have to worry about my face being exposed to too much sun whilst wearing this.
Date published: 2023-01-01
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product Use this after putting on my moisturiser and if I want greater coverage I put foundation on top of it. I’m very happy with this product.
