Product Review: Body Shop Nutriganics Soothing Day Cream

I am not particularly a fan of organic skincare products because I was doubtful of the product claim and whether it is indeed effective given a higher price tag.

Notwithstanding the above, when Body Shop launched the Nutriganics series earlier last month, it certainly warranted me to take a closer look. Though I must admit I am no fan of Body Shop, to find a respectable company who is committed to make moral sympathy and protection of human rights as the core of its business is rarely unheard of, or if there is any.
Product wise, the sample-size bottle pumps out a white emulsion that has a faint pleasant scent. When left on the face, it moisturizes, feels light and never messy. With a concotion of organic plant extracts, it is certain to supply nutrition to the skin especially if you are working under the full blast of air condition. I must say it is a handy and impressive product.

You can be assured of the product's organic authenticity as it is certified by EcoCert, a certification body for sustainable development. Furthermore, Body Shop states in the product label, "99% of total ingredients are from natural origin. 23% of the total ingredients are from organic farming.

Oh, what's worth mentioning is there is no use of parabens preservatives as part of the ingredients. In their place, benzyl alcohol, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are used as a skin friendly choice.
