Using all-natural ingredients is a foundational principle of Esker Fields products because we know natural skincare is better for us in more ways than one. Instead of relying on synthetic and chemical ingredients in our formulas which can irritate and dry out the skin, we only use natural butters, carrier oils and pure essential oils to clear, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin.
So if you’re curious about natural skincare or considering switching up the products in your routine, here’s how going natural will get you better results in a better way.
Fewer irritants
If trying new skincare products has always been a problem for your sensitive skin, you don’t need to worry about natural products. Unless you have a specific allergy, most of the time it’s the synthetic ingredients that irritate the skin and cause reactions. Ingredients derived from plants tend to gel better with our skin as they don’t interfere with the natural balance.
Take the Nature’s Glow Cleansing Oil for example. It clears the skin without disrupting natural oil production so we don’t lose the protective, moisturising barrier our skin needs to stay soft and smooth.
More environmentally friendly
Introducing more chemicals to the environment is never a good thing. When it comes to the production of skincare, it’s unnecessary because so many powerful ingredients can be found naturally and utilised sustainably. As natural products are being made and disposed of, they don’t introduce chemicals to the environment. Alongside the natural ingredients, we make eco-friendly choices in our packaging too, mainly using glass bottles and pots.
The shea butter which is the basis of our Moisturising Hand Cream and Lavender & Peppermint Foot Cream has been used as a natural moisturiser for centuries.
Powerful ingredients
We don’t need to use chemicals and synthetic ingredients to get amazing skincare results. Natural ingredients are transformative. Take the essential oil frankincense for example. It’s made from the sap of the Boswellia tree when an incision is made in the bark. That means it’s incredibly healing and supports restorative processes in the skin like cell regeneration. Find out more in our breakdown of the science behind essential oils.
Alongside sweet orange, sweet thyme and vetiver, frankincense is a key ingredient in our Relax & Unwind shower gel and body oil.
Dermatologically tested
Natural skincare products have to meet safety criteria just like any other skincare product. For good reason! Natural ingredients like pure essential oils are very powerful. Using too much could cause damage. Buying natural products ensures that you are using a professional blend designed to get the results you’re looking for but without any of the risk of experimenting with these ingredients yourself.
Our Rejuvenating Facial Serum is a blend of anti-ageing powerhouses, carefully formulated to improve the appearance of the complexion.
Promote wellbeing
Many natural ingredients have multiple benefits. Essential oils are the star of our products for this very reason. As well as effectively clearing, moisturising and rejuvenating the skin, essential oils influence the limbic system in our brains. This is connected to our stress response and nervous system so we can use them to calm down, stay grounded and reach relaxation. It’s like a spa day in a bottle!
I love applying the Nature’s Glow Moisturising Balm like I’m giving myself a facial massage and having a mindful moment as the essential oils create a soothing sensory experience.
When it comes to nourishing and protecting your skin with quality products, natural skincare can’t be beat. It’s great for sensitive skin and the planet without holding back on skincare benefits and wellbeing ones too. There’s nothing like the peace of mind when you recognise the ingredients on the bottle and know exactly what you’re putting on your skin. Switch out your skincare and body care routine with natural products to experience these benefits for yourself. Build your natural skincare routine with Esker Fields.
