Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare

Looking for a New Fragrance? Try Botanical Essence No. 1 by Liz Earle

Ever tried a natural fragrance before? I haven’t. But I have tried Liz Earle botanical skincare and it is wonderful. So I was excited to try their Botanical Essence No. 1 ($78.00 USD for 50ml/1.6fl.oz), which is made up of over 98% directly derived from natural ingredients including high-altitude lavender from France, damask rose from Turkey, Italian bergamot and spicy patchouli from Indonesia.

The creator of the fragrance, Jean Charles Niel, took 3 years to finish it. He states, “This creative process gave me the time and the opportunity to craft a fragrance working with the highest quality ingredients. Using the Instant Boost Skin Tonic as a starting point, I looked into the glamour of the brand and Liz’s image to create a vibrant sparkling floral with a beautiful rose at its heart translating into warmth and sensuality for the dry down.”

The notes are:

Top notes: bergamot, mandarin, orange bigarad, lemon, and Cardamom

Middle notes: rose absolute, lavender, geranium, coriander and nutmeg

Base notes: cedarwood, vetiver, tonka bean and patchouli

What I think: This fragrance is so complex, it took a few days for me to decide what I was smelling! The fruity notes battle with the spicy notes for dominance, but the spices win out. It is very deep and sexy, and if that is the type of fragrance you love, this is for you. It is a little strong for me, but I love the natural ingredients involved.

Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare was founded in 1995, by Liz Earle and Kim Buckland. They create products that work on every skin type by harnessing the potent powers of the finest quality natural ingredients. They do not test on animals and they use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Two of the products that I absolutely love from this line are the Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser and the Instant Boost Skin Tonic.

The Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser ($24.50 USD 3.3 oz and two muslin cloths) is a rather unique cleanser. It contains beeswax, chamomile essential oil/extract, cocoa butter, eucalyptus essential oil, glycerin, hops extract, panthenol, and rosemary essential oil/extract. To apply, you smooth the thick cream on dry skin, then take one of the muslin cloths that come with it and soak it in hot water. Ring the cloth out and wipe off the cleanser, then splash on cold water. This feels like a spa treatment. The eucalyptus mixes with the hot water giving off an invigorating aroma. After this treatment, my skin looks so fresh and glows.

I like to follow this with the Instant Boost Skin Tonic ($21.00 USD 6.7 oz) is a lovely scented toner. The ingredients include aloe vera juice, calendula extract, chamomile essential oil/extract, cucumber extract, glycerin, hops extract, panthenol, and vitamin E. I apply this with a cotton pad all over my face, neck, and chest. It tightens and moisturizes skin in one step.
