I'm quite a good test case for skincare products, because my skin freaks out at the drop of a hat. Usually, when I try out a new one it's a case of gritting my teeth for those tense few moments while I wait for the hives and the furious itching to start, so it's always a bit of a bonus when this doesn't happen.
Having now sampled the entire SOS Skin Rescue range from Barefoot Botanicals, I'm pleased to say that no such adverse reactions occured, and I'd therefore recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin. The range, which is certified organic by ECOCERT is ideal for active types and anyone wanting to stay fresh in the sandal season, as it includes a 'foot rescue balm' and antiseptic rescue spray, useful for midge-bites and scrapes.
All the SOS products were originally intended for people suffering with eczema and psoriasis because there was nothing on the market for problem skin that was gentle as well as being completely natural. So the SOS range was developed to offer a fragrant alternative to over-the-counter dry skin remedies and are made from entirely plant-derived ingredients. They're also packed with natural soothing essential oils and botanical extracts, which means they don't have that 'medicinal' smell that some skin-friendly products have.
