Hi everyone,
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been trying something new.
My skin has always been naturally really dry and eczema prone so usually, the only product that I’ll use on my body is Diprobase eczema cream. I always struggle to find products that are hydrating and anti-inflammatory without containing perfumes or an abundance of chemicals that I can’t even pronounce.
So, last month I was doing a bit of research online and found Skin Sanctuary on Instagram.
They’re an independent skincare company who make natural and organic skincare products made from ethically sourced ingredients. They promise that there are no hidden nasty ingredients in any of their products. Including no parabens, chemical preservatives, alcohol or synthetic additives. Also, all of their products are handmade and are made in small batches in order to make sure they’re only sending their customers the freshest products possible.
The Skin Sanctuary product that I’ve been using recently is their body butter, which is made up of only three ingredients.
The only ingredients in the butter are:
- Unrefined raw organic Shea Butter
- Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Organic Coconut Oil
- 100% Pure essential oil
Since using the body butter, I’ve been really impressed with how it’s left my skin feeling.
The actual texture of the butter feels like something between a light cream and an oil. You only need to use a small amount when applying it and it sinks into the skin really nicely. It doesn’t feel heavy or like you’ve put a layer of paint on your skin like a lot of creams and butters do. There’s also no sticky residue left over after you use it. I’ve found that oils and butters especially often make my skin feel slimey because they just sit on top of my skin so I’m happy that this isn’t the case here.
Since using it, I’ve noticed that my skin feels softer, more hydrated and my eczema also feels soothed and much less irritated. If you suffer from naturally dry skin then I’d highly recommend this product if you’re looking for a natural remedy.
I don’t know about you but as I’ve gotten older, the things I look for in skincare has changed so much. I’m not interested in creams that have pretty packaging and smell like strawberries. I’m interested in supporting brands that use natural, ethically-sourced and cruelty-free ingredients. Luckily for me, Skin Sanctuary ticks all of these boxes.

Wow! Sounds like an amazing product. I will definitely try it out.
It is! It’s really affordable too.
Tell me about cruelty free products and conquer me! I like to discover new ones to try!

I am into organic products. My skin is also naturally dry, I was impressed reading your context about the product. I should give it a try.
You definitely should! I have really naturally dry skin too.
I love that these are organic and I am already familiar with the ingredients. I would love to look into and see what the essential oil scents are!
They have quite a few different scents!
Skin care should be for all ages. Just because you are too tired and too stressed doesn’t mean we will be lenient with caring for our skin. I want to try that product. I like that it is all natural and contains only the best moisturizing agents.
Couldn’t agree more. I love products that are suitable for all skin types and sensitivities!
My skin will never say no to such products. That’s wonderful that it is good for different skin types. I’d like to buy it for myself for sure. 🙂
You should definitely give it a try!
I would take organic over pretty smell good options too. I’m definitely going to give this brand a try.
Me too!
Ooh that looks lovely, it would make a great Christmas gift too! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
It’d make a really lovely gift! Thank you for commenting!
I’ll admit that you had me at “organic & cruelty free” but those ingredients sounds like they’ll work wonders on super dry skin!
Honestly they all work so well together!
I’ve suffered from eczema for as long as I can remember. I need to try this out.
Me too! I couldn’t recommend it more.
This sounds like it is a great brand with some helpful products!
It really is!
My wife mentioned looking for some new skincare products. This might be just what the doctor ordered.
I couldn’t recommend it more!
Yesterday I was looking for best cruelty free creams so I’m happy that I found this post

I can totally relate to you as I also have the same condition. Finding a suitable product to use is definitely a challenge. I would love to check this out and hopefully, they’re available here locally. Thank you so much for sharing.

Looks like a great product. Love the color and the texture of it. Would love to try it sometime soon in tho winters.
