What’s in it for you? This rich, gentle body cream is so lovely you’re sure to make time to care for that easily neglected chest area. Take me into your skin: a fresh, thick and firming body lotion imbued with beautifying flowers, herbs and oils to soften and nourish your neck, shoulders and décolletage. Vitamin-rich avocado, almond and sacha inchi oils combine with evening primrose to protect and repair the skin, while meadowsweet, rose and orange blossom honey soothe and soften. Made without artificial preservatives so you can care for that delicate area with peace of mind. What’s in it for the world? In addition to not containing preservatives that could bioaccumulate in our environment, Biomic is made with carefully sourced plant oils that care for your skin and the planet. Organic almond oil is sourced from Andalusia, where farmers support biodiversity, sustainable water management and pollination with bees, while responsibly produced jojoba oil from Peru is grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides or fungicides. Lovely jubblies! What is self-preserving? We want to make products that care for your skin barrier with minimal interference to your microbiome: the community of resident microorganisms that protect your skin against pathogens. The effects of preservatives on our microbiome, the environment and our health, are not yet fully clear. But, because preservatives are biocidal, we prefer to use them in minimal amounts below legal maximums, or not at all. We achieve this with clever product formulation, fast despatch from our factories and short shelf lives. Where a product is formulated to stay fresh, effective and safe to use without the use of synthetic preservatives (as defined under Annex 5 of the E.U Cosmetic Regulations), we call it ‘self-preserving’.
