Songcroft Naturals Review: Frankincense and Rose Cream

FullSizeRender(57)

I am a big advocate of supporting local, natural, family businesses. I feel that it is really important to vote with my dollars and I know that every dollar I spend is a vote for creating the kind of world that I want for myself and my children.

When it comes to personal care products, I am even more diligent about purchasing from local, handcrafted family businesses. As the owner of a small, family-based, indie cosmetic company myself, I truly believe that it is vital for us to support one another.

Since I have been traveling so much in the last couple of years, I have not always had the time or opportunity to make my own skin care products like I usually do. This has given me the opportunity to seek out other local makers. One that I have been impressed with is Songcroft Naturals, local to me in WA state. Marilene, Owner and Chief Formulator at Songcroft Naturals, and I have a lot in common. Not only do we both run natural, handcrafted skin care companies, but we also share a love of nature, and herbalism, in particular.

One of the things I love about Songcroft Naturals is that many of the ingredients in their products are grown on their farm using organic practices.

“SongCroft is a working permaculture farm with bees, dairy goats, chickens, fruit trees, and lots of culinary as well as medicinal herbs and vegetables. Permaculture is a design system based on ethics and principles which can be used to establish, design, manage and improve all efforts made by individuals, households and communities towards a sustainable future.”

Marilene recently sent me a bottle of her Frankincense and Rose Cream™. Both Frankincense and Rose are two of my favorite essential oils, so I was delighted to try it out. After a week of using it, I can say that I am genuinely impressed.

At first, I thought that it was going to be a bit too light of a moisturizer for me, since I tend to prefer heavier, richer creams. However, I can honestly say that I am enjoying the change. My skin is feeling incredibly soft and smooth. The cream has a beautiful delicate scent and absorbs very quickly. In fact, not only do I not have to wait for it to absorb before applying my foundation, but Marilene describes here how it can be used to create a cream foundation with our Natural Look Mineral Make-Up Skin Foundation Powders!

According to Marilene, this is their best selling product and I can see why. With ingredients such as organic Wild Rosehip Seed Oil, organic Frankincense, Rose Ablsolute and organic Rose Geranium, this cream is a great choice for anyone who is interested in healthy skin!
