Arran Aromatics is a Scottish brand based in (who'd have guessed?) Arran that creates beautiful products. They are definitely an ethical brand, as can by seen by poking around their website. They are against animal testing and their products are all hand finished. I was first introduced to this brand when my mother brought me back a beautifully scented lavender soap from a trip to Arran.
The "Feel Good Formula" range is very affordable, and so far has been very impressive. The range is made with natural-inspired ingredient, extracts, essential oils and natural spring water. I decided to restock on some products when last in town.
Their "Jojoba and Vitamin E All Weather Moisturiser" (£7.50) is what first got me hooked. This little pot has become a holy grail in my beauty routine.
For those of you not familiar with jojoba oil, it's amazing on skin. It's the oil that has the closest resemblance to the skin's natural sebum. I find it great for controlling oily skin and keeping my skin matte but moisturised. It does take time to absorb into skin, so on rushed mornings before work I prefer to use this.
This is like a primer and moisturiser in one. I find that my primers have no effect when this is on because it does such a good job. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and natural, without the greasy barriers some moisturisers leave. I doubt I'll ever stop singing this one praises.
I've also heard that eye gels and (light) oils are the best to use around the eye area. Heavier creams and serums can be too heavy for the skin and cause bags and sagging. At only £3.50 this is a great product, but don't judge it's small price tag - it's very effective.
The Feel Good Formula range has lots of great products, and I aim to try them all once I work through what I already have. The prices are great for the quality, as I find them just as effective as brands who are double, or triple, the price! It's a brand to check out.
