Neroli Botanical Essence

Springfields Neroli Botanical Essence is a 50 mL lightweight liquid essence in an amber glass bottle with a pump, made in Australia as part of the Neroli series. An essence is the thin, watery step that goes on after cleansing and before your cream, and it carries this one as a way of prepping the skin so that whatever follows it absorbs more readily. It is built on lotus, neroli and cornflower flower waters and carries the same botanical extracts as the rest of the Neroli range, with jojoba for a light emollient touch.

Product Strengths

• Made in Australia, and vegan friendly and not tested on animals.
• A prep step rather than a moisturiser, so it layers under a serum, a lotion or the matching Neroli Botanical Cream.
• Lighter than the cream: jojoba only, with no macadamia oil in the formula.
• Fragranced only by the essential oils and flower extracts in the formula, with no separate synthetic perfume added.
• A moisturising essence for dry skin, and for anyone whose concern is firmness.

Suitable For / Not Suitable For

No step-by-step direction is declared, so follow the directions printed on your bottle. Patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before you use it on the face for the first time.

Worth knowing before you buy. This formula contains soybean seed extract, so it is not suitable if you react to soy. Unlike the matching Neroli Botanical Cream it contains no macadamia oil. It does carry frankincense, jasmine and neroli essential oils, so it is fragranced by natural aromatic materials, which reactive skin can still respond to. The range is free from sulphates, parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, polyethylene, formaldehyde and synthetic fragrance and colour. Always review the label for the full list of ingredients.
