Smells gorgeous and is super moisturising. I love to use this post shower when i my skin is still slightly damp then my skin stays moist and hydrated for days. The smell is lovely, but not overpowering so doesnt compete with my perfume
Yes, I recommend this product.

Leaves a strong unpleasant fragrance on the skin
Received Free Product

For an unfragranced product it really does have an unpleasant and very strong sour milk type of smell on the skin. To the point that I had to have a second shower to rinse it off. Can't comment on how effective it is as I wasn't able to leave the product on long enough.

Fantastic cream! smells beautiful and leaves my skin feeling awesome, bought one as a gift for my elderly neighbour and she loves it too! easy to apply, nice and thick so doesn't slide off skin like some creams do, leaves skin feeling smooth and hydrated but without the oily texture. 10/10

Beautiful product to use. No sent which lends to its probiotic and organic properties. The packaging could have a foil seal so wondering how longbthe product will ladt before spoiling. Easy to apply to the skin and dries in almost immediately, amazing.

Great moisturiser

Product goes on smoothly, is absorbed well and leaves skin feeling really moisturised. I have dry skin and this really helped make my skin feel hydrated. This didn’t absorb as quickly as other superfood moisturisers I’ve tried, but that’s easily managed by using the product and doing my make up/hair before getting dressed.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I wanted to love this, but I only like it!

I have to start by saying that the packaging makes some big claims - hydrates skin ‘up to 10 cell layers deep’ and ‘up to 48h of hydration’ - and I simply don’t think it lives up to its own hype.
The back of the tub states that ‘24 volunteers’ were tested in regards to the ‘up to 48h of hydration’ claim, which frankly seems like a tiny sample size to base a large part of your branding on. There are no additional details given as to how the information was gathered or if it was a blind test etc, further information and clarity might make the 48 hour claim more impressive. At this point I feel like it goes without saying that I do not think the cream provided anywhere close to 48 hours of hydration, obviously I understand that it states ‘up to’ 48 hours, but even so I would expect the hydration to last longer than it does, (a few hours at most in my experience).
The packaging also claims that the product hydrates skin ‘up to 10 cell layers deep’, which may well be factually true but doesn’t actually mean anything to the average consumer; I have no doubt that this statement could be proven true in a laboratory setting but I find it hard to believe that the majority of people know what ‘up to 10 cell layers’ of hydration feels like on their skin.
It all seems to very much be buzz words to impress buyers but without any real substance. Of course I know that the company is out to make profit and increase sales, so they want their product to sound amazing and exciting, but there comes a point where it’s just saying things for the sake of it, and it causes disappointment because the product does not live up to these claims.

The cream itself is decent, it’s easy to use and apply. The consistency is moderately thick and the texture smooth. It soaks in very well and very quickly, and doesn’t leave a white cast or any stickiness. My skin did feel moisturised but I didn’t find that the sensation was long lasting. The cream has no real fragrance, there’s a slight scent but I think this is just a result of the ingredients rather than an added fragrance. I didn’t experience any skin irritation or allergies, so I would agree that in my experience, it is appropriate for sensitive skin.
The packaging itself is sturdy and nicely coloured. I like that the lid is a screw top as it forms a tighter seal which helps to prevent spills and allows the product to keep for longer. The tub is recyclable, which is always a bonus, but it also has plenty of potential for reuse which is nice.
Overall the product is fine, in my opinion it’s very average, nothing special or revolutionary like is claimed. I think I would’ve been less underwhelmed if there hadn’t been such fanfare on the packaging. They should’ve stuck to what the product is at it’s core - a vegan, family and sensitive skin friendly multi purpose body moisturiser of predominantly natural origin.
