Review of Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream

Review of Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream Packaging: Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream comes in a signature opaque glass jar with metal screw top 30mls in box. Ingredients: Rich in natural ingredients including Lavender Flower Water has been blended with Olive Oil, infused with healing Comfrey, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Vitamin E and Essential Oils of Geranium, Grapefruit and Juniper. Cream is suitable for vegetarians Application and Comments: As with all Trevarno products the hand cream is very rich. Recent products I have tested from the range have been too rich for me but due to the intensive test conditions with my hands being so dry and cracked the hand cream my didn't change the condition of my hands significantly when testing. I have no doubt with normal/dry hands the cream would take care of moisture and healing. The cream itself is rich; only use the tiniest amount during the day (especially for use with touch screen phones and gadgets!) Although I applied it in the mornings and my hands drank in the cream some people may find it too rich to be able to continue daily tasks. Excellent to use at night for intensive treatment. The scent is similar to other products from the range although the combination of the olive oil with lavender and almond oil was quite pleasant, not too strong in the olive scent and it didn't seem to linger. I wash my hands a lot but during my testing period my hands were constantly in water and foot scrub products therefore any cream was going to have an impossible task. I have yet to find one which could revive my hands which also suffer from poor circulation therefore dryness is inevitable. If the Olive & Almond Hand Cream had been in a tube I would have found it more convenient to keep with me during the day applying each time my hands were in water. Although the jar is a luxury way to present the product it really is more appropriate to keep besides the bed and not in a pocket or handbag. The constant dipping into the jar isn’t the most hygienic way to keep the cream germ free. That said it was a treat to feel the texture of the cream, similar to double cream. It would be a rich cream in normal circumstances; my hands really have suffered and would need to apply Trevarno’s more often during the day. Even though my hands are in poor condition Trevarno’s hand cream didn’t sting my hands on application. Pros Supporting a UK producer (Cornwall) using Organic certified. Vegetarian (beeswax) Cruelty free Luxury ingredients to keep hand supple with the addition of soothing/healing ingredients A little goes a long way Cons Didn’t show significant improvement for my hands although this was due to circumstances (my hands didn’t get any worse) Tube would be more portable and germ free Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream (£10.34) and Trevarno Skincare Products are available at naturisimo.com

Trevarno Body Lotion Reviews

Review of Trevarno Almond & Cocoa Butter Body Lotion
By Sally S.

Packaging: The Trevarno Almond & Cocoa Butter Body Lotion is presented in a glass bottle with a plastic pump for easy and convenient dispensing. The glass bottle comes in a protective cardboard box. The overall packaging is simple, attractive and functional. The only frustration with glass bottles is getting the last bit out. Recycling of the packaging was easy.

Application: The pump bottle dispenses a generous amount of Trevarno Body Lotion which is a rich consistency. I have used several other Trevarno products and find they all go a long way. The lotion is rich yet non sticky making it a lovely product to apply even if you are in a hurry to get dressed. Its absorption into the skin leaves it feeling very silky.

Ingredients: I love reading the ingredients on Trevarno products, they make for quick reading. Trevarno is an organic certified skincare range formulated with the highest quality, socially just and ecologically responsible ingredients available.

The ingredients in Trevarno Almond & Cocoa Butter Body Lotion are simple, nourishing and effective without the need for bulking agents. I feel this is why a little goes along way with the lotion. This lotion contains cocoa butter and almond, jojoba and olive oil to keep the skin soft. Essential oils of vanilla and lavender are also in there presumably to soothe the skin further. It did however smell very strongly of lavender which I had not anticipated I imagined a more cocoa butter aroma
Results: Having used the lotion over an extended period of time, my skin became very smooth and even my horrendously dry elbows improved. The Trevarno Almond & Cocoa Butter Body Lotion did not congest my skin which can sometimes happen for me with daily use of a rich body cream.

Pros:
Absorbs quickly into the skin
Rich texture
Silky results and no dryness or irritation
Cons:
The aroma of lavender is very strong

Trevarno Organic Day Cream Reviews

Review of Trevarno Organic Day Cream

By Catherine G.

Packaging :Trevarno Organic Day Cream comes packaged in a pretty, frosted pink glass pot with a silver screw top lid and is available in a choice of 30ml or 60 ml sizes.
Application :Being such a light cream it seems to just melt into your skin so is great for use under make-up. This is perfect for the summer when you don’t want to use anything too heavy on your skin. Even the smell reminds you of summer, with the strong scent of lavender leaping out the pot as soon as you open it! This is a concentrated product so a little goes a long way!
Ingredients
Trevarno are based in Cornwall and all their products are certified organic and handmade which is a rarity these days! This product is crammed with yummy organic ingredients such as essential oils of Lavender, Geranium & Palmerosa, jojoba oil, St Johns wort and Beeswax so it’s very unlikely to cause any reaction with your skin even for those with the most sensitive skin. Remember though like most totally natural products this should be used within a few months of opening – I guess if you buy the 30ml pot that wouldn’t be a problem anyway if you use the Trevarno Organic Day Cream every day.

Results
Applied after cleansing and toning Trevarno Organic Day Cream leaves your skin with a lovely dewy glow and it smells gorgeous too! It’s also available with an spf15 sunscreen which would be great for the summer giving your face that little extra protection.

Pros:
Lovely lavender aroma
Light moisturizer which leaves the skin feeling soft and supple
Suitable for all skin types

Cons:
None – it’s a great product and very well priced too!!

Trevarno Organic Day Cream Reviews

Review of Trevarno Organic Day Cream
By Louise M.

Packaging Trevarno Organic Day Cream come in a smart pink frosted glass jar which is small enough to be slipped into a handbag or even carried in your hand luggage at an airport. The screw top lid means that it doesn’t leak and it isn’t fiddly to dispense the cream.

Application The texture of Trevarno Organic Day Cream is deliciously thick and creamy. It describes itself as a light daytime moisturizer, but it is far thicker than other ‘light’ products I have used which have more closely resembled a lotion. It feels very indulgent and nourishing when it goes onto the skin, but true to its promise is easily absorbed. If you have dry skin and like a thicker cream, but find that this blocks the pores, then I would certainly recommend giving this product a try. It has a beautiful geranium fragrance, and the combined effect of this with its texture means that it smells and feels like a much more expensive product than the actual price tag denotes.

Ingredients The Trevarno Organic day cream contains all kind of brilliant natural ingredients and is largely based around a variety of nourishing oils (sunflower, jojoba, sesame with carrot) and lavender flower water. All of the ingredients are certified organic, and furthermore it is the first company whose products meet the Organic Farmers and Growers exacting standards. In spite of the natural ingredients the products has a shelf life of 12 months, and 4 months once the pot has been opened (although I don’t imagine it would last that long if used every day). A final mention should go to its Cornish origins, which will please those who like to consider the air miles behind their beauty products, or who prefer to support UK businesses.

Results Trevarno Organic Day Cream did a great job at keeping the dry skin on my face and neck under control. It also seemed to form a light barrier against the inclement winter weather and stopped my skin from getting chapped by the Scottish wind. I have been extremely impressed with this cream and would certainly repurchase it and investigate other products in the Trevarno range.

Pros: It looks, smells and feel like a very expensive product – it represents excellent value for money
It is thick enough to be really nourishing without blocking pores
It provides a protective barrier which would be great for wintry weather or as a makeup base

Cons: The smell is very pleasant, but it does linger so may compete with any perfume you wear

Trevarno Barrier Cream Reviews

Review of Trevarno Barrier Cream
By Marion Perrell

This product label on Trevarno Barrier Cream is the distinctive black of the Trevarno organic range with the company name in blue.

The perfume is subtle but pleasing as the jar is opened on this buttercream coloured cream. Other skin preparations are light to the touch, but this is a workhouse of a cream. Trevarno Barrier Cream is a heavy duty moisturiser to act as a barrier to protect the skin from external factors that could cause damage for example on hands, elbows and heels.

The skin is the largest organ of the body and it is important to maintain it in the best condition possible for comfort, and to help keep infection from entering cracked dry areas. This is particularly important to those suffering from sensitive skin or eczema.

During the cold winter months exposed skin needs extra care. This Trevarno barrier cream can act as a preventative to chapped and cracked fingers. In the spring and summer gardeners, particularly those who can’t, or don’t like to work wearing gloves will find this barrier cream a boon.

As Trevarno Barrier Cream is a little heavier to apply I found that using a little at a time and allowing the warmth of the skin to help it to spread was the best method of providing enough protection without waste or excessive use of this beautiful cream. The treated skin feels moist and comfortable without being sticky.

Trevarno Organic Day Cream Reviews

Review of Trevarno Organic Day Cream
By Marion P.

The first impression of the labelling of this Trevarno product is that it is unusually dark and exotic in appearance with the maker’s name in purple on a black background. The information on the Trevarno Organic Day Cream is written in white. I was concerned that the contents of Trevarno Organic Day Cream may be heavily perfumed; however, the senses are immediately delighted on removing the lid. The aroma of lavender and geranium together with warmer base notes is a very feminine combination in this Trevarno Day Cream.

The ivory coloured Trevarno face cream is soft to the touch, and when applied to the skin melts with only the lightest of fingertip application. It may be tempting to be somewhat generous in usage as the Trevarno Organic Day Cream smells gorgeous, and feels so comfortable, but this indulgence is not necessary. A small amount, quickly absorbed, leaves the skin feeling fresh, moisturised and comfortable. The fact that Trevarno Skincare range is organically produced adds to the feeling of well-being and harmony with nature. Nourishment for skin and soul!

I used this Trevarno cream as a day cream, and a different specific cream for night application as I have a dry, mature skin. A younger person could, I think, use this Trevarno Organic Day Cream day and night, the lavender having a relaxing effect on the entire person.

Trevarno Almond & Cocoa Butter Body Lotion

Review of Trevarno Almond & Cocoa Butter Body Lotion
By Sue B.

I like the general appearance of the bottle and label of the Review of Trevarno Almond & Cocoa Butter Body Lotion, as there is no illustration to distract the eye. The first word of the text informs you that it is organic, which to me is very important - no searching through the text. The white text is clearly visible and the font is easy to read. The blue brand name of Trevarno is less obvious but with the Internet address on the label you can find out more about the company if you wish. On closer inspection the number 1 recyclable bottle and number 5 recyclable lid continue the ethos of being environmentally friendly.

The palm sized bottle of the Trevarno body lotion with its easy, one handed, flip top lid, enables use without leaving the product on the outside of the bottle.

The Trevarno almond and cocoa butter body lotion is an off white cream with a rich, smooth texture. On smelling the lotion out of the bottle I was unsure whether I liked the smell but, once applied to the skin, the fragrance changed completely. Once warmed during application it gave a clean, fresh nutty smell, although not overwhelmingly almond.

The Trevarno almond and cocoa lotion was quickly absorbed leaving no greasy residue, just soft, smooth, moisturised and fragrant skin which lasted for about 30 minutes therefore enabling you to apply your favourite perfume if you wish. Unopened the lotion would last a further 10 months, but once opened it should be used within six months, which wouldn’t be a problem, you’d need another bottle long before that if you’re using it every day. Being suitable for all skin types everyone can enjoy this product!
