Customer Review - "Cleared skin within days"!
"Over the past few months my face had become dry and incredibly prone to breakouts making my skin extremely blemished. Within just a couple of days of using this there was a dramatic improvement, more or less completely clearing my skin, as well as tackling the dryness, making my skin look the healthiest it has done in a long time. Without a doubt this is easily the best skin care product I've ever used".

Simplicity Face Oil No.1 - for Blemished & Acne Prone skin
This delightful Face Oil is full of skin enhancing goodness. A combination of Plant Seed and Essential Oils, chosen specially to re-balance the face's natural sebum, calm inflammation, unblock pores, help clear skin that is susceptible to blemishes and break-outs with the fantastic anti-bacterial properties of the essential oils used.
We chose the following Plant Seed Oils because of their great skin healing properties - Jojoba, Red raspberry, Grapeseed, Watermelon and Passionfruit. Red raspberry acts as a natural acne remedy because the linoleic acid in the oil helps rebalance the skin's natural oils. Noncomedogenic (does not block pores) and high levels of antioxidants helps slow the skins ageing process. Can also help with eczema, rosacea and psoriasis. Tea tree essential oil is also a powerful weapon against acne. A great light, hydrator.
We provide a 10ml taster bottle and a 30ml larger bottle. All come with pipettes for easy application.
How to use: ensure your skin is clean. Apply 1 or 2 drops onto your fingertips and press into your face. Massage with slow, upward strokes. Can be applied at night before you go to bed and/or in the morning as part of your daily moisturising routine.
Ingredients; Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis), Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), Grapeseed (Vitis vinifera), Sunflower (Helianthus), Passionfruit (Passiflora edulis), Red raspberry (Rebus idacus), , Tocopherol (natural vitamin E), Mandarin (Citrus reticulata), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens), Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia), Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi), Citral*, Geraniol*, Linalool*, Citronellol* and Limonene* (*occurs naturally in essential oils). Not to be taken internally.
We were delighted that our Hand Oil and Foot Oil was selected among the finalists for the 2021 Free from Skincare Awards. We didn't win but received some great feedback from the independent testers;
Awards Tester "It's a great little bottle of foot hydration. I was super impressed with this product"
This foot oil makes my feet feel brand new. I apply after a bath then pop on a pair of socks. By morning I feel like I've just been to a spa. Love it!

I love these dishes. I bought a selection, together with soaps, as presents for different friends. I really like the artisan feel of the dishes - they look natural but still professional.
Annabel
We have been buying soaps from Soap Matters for about 2 years now. My favourite has to be the Rosemary, Black Pepper and Lavender soap, which has to be one of the best energising soaps around.

Great for the soul and the face
When I met Christine in Peebles she was so passionate aboutaromatherapy that I had to try some of her products. The Face Oil No3 has been brilliant. My skin feels soft and fresh and the blend of oils lifts my spirits every time I unscrew the bottle. I'll definately be ordering more!

Natural products that are great for your skin.
Today we are barraged by mass produced products, many of which, if you look closely at the ingredients, are not good for us or our skin (largest organ in the body). As an alternative, I have designed six natural soaps and three Oil Blends and three Face Oils which are great for the skin. All have therapeutic properties from the essential oils as well as a gorgeous smell. It's a delight knowing that what you are putting on your skin is doing it good and smelling wonderful.
We also recycle and re-use our products. There is no single use plastic and we can re-use the Aromasticks and glass bottles. Our Face Oil labels are biodegradable.
All handmade in small batches. Long lasting, moisturising and great for hand, face and body washing.

Our chosen charity
We knew nothing about ME until our daughter suffered from it whilst at secondary school. It can have a debilitating effect on people, both physically and mentally. More research is needed and also awareness and we want to do our bit by promoting the charity and making a donation of a percentage of our profits.
