Review: Pink's Boutique Skincare

I had the pleasure recently of trying two samples from Pink's Boutique - their Bamboo and Oatmeal Polish and the Rose Face and Body Balm.

Pink's Boutique are a UK company based in Derbyshire. Their products are vegan, cruelty-free and certified by the Soil Association. The samples arrived in a beautifully packaged box complete with mini rosebuds and a leaflet about which nasties to avoid in your skin care.

The Rose Face and Body Balm is a Beauty Shortlist 2017 winner for dry, sensitive and ageing skins with 89% organic ingredients. It has a delicate rose scent and I found it perfect to use on a patch of newly-healed eczema on my leg and another just starting on my chest. My skin felt smooth and moisturised and I had no itching while I was using the balm. I would definitely try the full size and could see myself using it for oil cleansing, as a night treatment and a general all-over-body balm.

Ingredients: Helianthus annus (sunflower) seed oil*, butyrospermum parkii (shea butter)*, cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil*, rosa canina fruit oil*, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil*, glycerine***, tocopherol, zea mays seed flour*, parfum*; rosa centifolia (rose) flower oil*, pelargonium graveolens (geranium) flower oil*, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) flower oil*, cymbopogon martinii flower oil*, cananga odorata flower oil*, camellia sinensis leaf extract*, geraniol**, citronellol**, limonene**, linalool**, farsenol**, citral**, benzyl benzoate**, benzyl salicylate**. (*CERTIFIED ORGANIC. **NATURAL CONSTITUENTS OF ESSENTIAL OILS. ***ORGANIC ORIGIN.)

The Bamboo and Oatmeal Face Polish is an exfoliator with 87% organic ingredients. It has the most amazing lemon scent that I can't get enough of (its smell reminds me of Tropic's Face Smooth) and is a delight to use. Afterwards my face feels soft and renewed. I would use this again like a shot.

Ingredients: Helianthus annus (sunflower) seed oil*, butyrospermum parkii (shea) butter*, cetyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil*, glycerine*** decyl glucoside, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil*, camellia sinensis leaf extract*, avena sativa (oat) kernel meal*, bamboo extract, zea mays seed extract*, tocopherol, parfum*; citrus nobilis (mandarin orange) peel oil*,cynbopogon flexuosus oil*, citral**, geraniol**, limonene**, linalool**. (*CERTIFIED ORGANIC. **NATURAL CONSTITUENTS OF ESSENTIAL OILS. ORGANIC ORIGIN***.)

The try me pots these samples came in are good for numerous uses and Pink's Boutique offers a really good try-before-you-buy service with up to £20 worth of free samples for a flat shipping rate of £3.95. More companies should do this and I think I will definitely take advantage of this offer to try some more Pink's Boutique products.

In summary: A very satisfactory experience for my skin from a lovely brand with admirable ethics.
