Victorian Garden Quince & Honeysuckle Day Cream (Dry Skin)
Why we love it
A very rich creamy formula packed with nutrients and an essential product for those with dry, dehydrated skin. Enriched with organic Shea Butter, Aloe Leaf Gel and Jojoba – a unique liquid wax which inhibits oxidization and accelerates skin cell renewal. Organic Rosehip and Mahogany oil both have a high fatty acid content and bring instant relief to stressed dry skin. Quince Seed restores radiance and vitality and English Honeysuckle, rare and expensive, was used during the 16th century in products made for the nobility and has a positive and smoothing effect on dehydrated skin.

A note from our supplier: Pentylene Glycol has a zero listed hazard rating in Cosmetic Data Base and there are 23 published articles which provide interesting data and note studies done back in the 1970’s – in all of these, there was only one case listed of Dermatitis in Belgium and two cases in Cleveland, Ohio, in which the use of a topical cream containing Pentylene Glycol was suspected (not determined) to be the cause of the Dermatitis. www.ewg.org (Skin Deep Data Base) rates Pentylene Glycol as zero hazard. On www.goodguide.com it is listed as having no health concerns and is not on their list of hazardous ingredients. We use Pentylene Glycol only in our creams and lotions, which contain a higher water content and therefore need a proven strong preservative, and we consider it to be the safest and healthiest preservative currently available in the absence of a reliable natural preservative.
