Essential Care Ocean Eye Shadow Palette
If you’re interested in natural health and beauty, then
you’re probably already familiar with Essential
Care. A small family-run business in Suffolk, Essential Care have been
producing natural, organic, handmade cosmetics,
skin-, hair- and body-care products suitable for even the most sensitive
and eczema-prone skin since 2003. With a philosophy stating that ‘All
ingredients must have therapeutic value, as well as making the product a joy to
use,’ all goods are necessarily created from the highest quality constituents,
from cold-pressed virgin oils to anti-oxidant- and vitamin-rich herbs and
minerals, while being completely free from all Parabens, Petrochemicals, and
other nasties.
Despite being aware of the company for quite some time, I
have only recently tried one of their cosmetics, in the form of the Essential Care Ocean Eye Shadow Palette,
and I must say that I was very impressed. Presentation is simple, being
restricted to recycled and recyclable materials, but if you can content
yourself with a product that is prettier on the inside than it is on the out,
then I think that you’ll be pleased that you made the compromise.
Created from pure mineral pigments, organic plant oils and
antioxidant (anti-ageing) extracts, including calendula, chamomile and sea
buckthorn, the eye shadow is light and pleasant to wear, and being free from
synthetic colours and fragrances, highly unlikely to cause any irritation.
Indeed, even my sensitive skin, which usually begins to feel tight and heavy
after wearing any makeup for even the shortest period of time, felt perfectly
comfortable. The lack of commonly used ingredients, such as Camine and Silk
Powder, also make this colour palette suitable for vegans – even the
applicators are of vegetable origin. The colours are subtle and blendable, with
the Sand shade being ideal for use as either a highlighter, or as base upon
which to build a more elaborate look, while Shell, Seaweed and Lagoon are
designed to perfectly compliment, offering a softly shimmering effect truly
evocative of a gentle spring day by the British seashore.
The Essential Care Ocean Eye Shadow Palette is £34.50 and is
