Coraline Skincare (soothing balms and serums)

Known for their extra-gentle handmade soaps (for 3 months and above), Coraline Skincare is a family company (founded to provide soap gentle enough for their daughter’s skin, who has Down Syndrome), which has recently added a small line of skincare products for adults.

Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing and affected medical conditions. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. Wash off cocoa butter, before letting pets kiss you!

SOS Recovery Oil is good for dry and mature skin, or itchy skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis or rosacea. Unfragranced (with a natural nutty seedy grassy quinoa aroma). Just apply 1 to 2 pumps to damp skin, and massage in morning and night.

You Must Be Sisters Facial Oil contains collagen-boosting ingredients like oils of rosehip fruit, açai seed, passion seed oil (rich in fatty acids) and blackcurrant skin (helps eczema and psoriasis).

The Everlasting Facial Balm is richer (contains immortelle facial oil, so check for allergies, some people may be sensitive). As with all essential oils, avoid during pregnancy/nursing.
