beautyheaven says:

Oil Garden Clarifying Facial Scrub is a COSMOS certified organic, Australian-made, vegan and cruelty-free skin care product. It contains agra shell, a natural exfoliant that helps to polish away dead skin cells and reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. The formula also features a base of organic aloe vera, argan oil and papaya extract, and is enriched with the pure essential oils of bergamot and geranium.

Oil Garden Nourishing Facial Moisturiser is also COSMOS certified organic, Australian-made, vegan and cruelty-free. Suitable for daily use, it has a lightweight formula that promotes skin elasticity and a healthy, glowing complexion. It features a base of organic aloe vera, rosehip oil and macadamia oil, and is enriched with the pure essential oils of bergamot and geranium.

Both Oil Garden Clarifying Facial Scrub and Oil Garden Nourishing Facial Moisturiser are free from sulphates, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, TEAs and parabens.

The triallers enjoyed the bergamot and geranium scent of the scrub, describing it as calming, relaxing and soothing. Most found the agra shell ingredient exfoliated effectively, without being too harsh or abrasive. They agreed the formula left their skin feeling smooth, soft and hydrated, with one reviewer noting that after three weeks of use, she saw an overall improvement in her skin’s tone and condition.

The triallers found the moisturiser lightweight and fast absorbing, yet very hydrating. As with the scrub, they enjoyed the bergamot and geranium scent, and noted it wasn’t overpowering. Some of the members liked to apply sunscreen over the top of the moisturiser, as it doesn’t contain SPF.

While the majority of triallers enjoyed using the moisturiser twice a day, some noted they preferred to use the scrub just once a day for best results.

*Based on a survey of 10 beautyheaven Trial Team members.

“This is a lovely, lightweight moisturiser that left my skin feeling hydrated but not greasy. It left my skin feeling comfortable and it provided a lovely base for makeup. It doesn’t contain a sunscreen, so I simply waited a few minutes for it to absorb before applying SPF 30 during the day.”

“Despite being lightweight, it is very moisturising, non-greasy and absorbs easily into the skin. My skin is left feeling smooth, soft and hydrated. It will be great to use in the warmer months to keep my skin hydrated, as it is so light and soothing on my skin.”

“The smell of the scrub is divine, with the natural fragrance of bergamot and geranium (which also happens to be one of my favourite essential oil combos that I use in my diffuser!). It removed all my makeup from the day, gently exfoliated my skin and left it feeling soft and fresh.”

“After using this scrub three times weekly for three weeks, my skin feels smooth and 'de-congested'. I have noticed an improvement in [my skin’s] overall tone and condition. The packaging is classy and looks chic on the bathroom counter or in the shower.”

I think I saw this brand in Chemist Warehouse. I might have a look at this Clarifying Scrub. Sounds good to me.

Good to know that a moisturiser I would otherwise have been attracted to (natural scent from essential oils only, no perfume) contains bergamot oil, which is a known photosensitising substance. It baffles me that so many skin care products have this! I avoid citrus peel oils (bergamot is a citrus fruit) in skin products for the face since developing sensitivity to them.

It's a funny name but it sounds like everyone was happy with it. I will have to keep an eye out for it when I am out shopping.

My skin is oily, but I'm still keen on the sound of that scrub.

I used to buy Oil Garden products when I lived near their warehouse in Byron Bay a very long time ago (the company moved). It's great to see them expanding their range into skincare.
