To help you avoid the not-so-great choose from our list of the best tried and tested organic skin care options for skin that needs a little TLC.

With a base that includes organic jojoba oil this organic face wash ensures that the skin is gently cleaned without harsh detergents.

Best Toner

Best Eye Cream

Pai Echium Eye Cream - containing both Stearidonic Acid and GLA which exist together in only a few plants, Echium being one of the richest known sources. This organic eye cream is made without alcohol (which may dry the skin) or chemical preservatives such as Methylparaben (shown to cause premature ageing when exposed to sunlight), the anti-ageing properties of the active ingredients are even more effective.

These are just a few organic skin care products we have tried and tested on our own sensitive skin. See if they suit you - patch testing on the inside of your arm is a good way to check. Any redness or irritation after a few minutes make sure you leave it on the shelf.
