Bloom product review/Gentle Organic Cleansing Oil and Organic Soothing Lip Balm

1/17/2013

Bloom have released some lovely Australian Certified organic products, leaving out all of the nasty chemicals and only containing healthy ingredients for your skin.

Gentle Organic Cleansing oil

This is the first time I have used an oil cleanser to cleanse my face. At first I wasn't sure if i would be doing my skin a favour, as I already have naturally oily skin, but it was quite the opposite. The oil removed every tiny ounce of make-up and dirt, probably even better than other types of cleansers.
Another advantage is the convenience and ease, just use a cotton ball and away you go. You can rinse off with water, but some nights I did leave it on my face without any ill effects.
Organic sweet almond oil and jojoba oils soften the skin. Calendula and Camellia oil hydrate.
Scented with sweet orange, lavender and tangerine essential oils, I loved the ease of using this in the evenings to remove my make-up.

Organic Soothing Lip balm

Another nice surprise from Bloom, an organic lip balm which is soft, not sticky and comes in an amber glass jar. Beeswax, shea butter and cocoa butter hydrate.
It has a light orange scent and taste, as it is made with sweet orange essential oil.
A lovely little balm, especially great for night time use before bed to keep lips hydrated.

You can purchase Bloom products via their website and selected stockists.
