Organic cream: is the coconut oil not organic?
Any use by date for the fatty ingredients eg avocado etc?
Chemically extracted or cold pressed Coconut ,avocado and almond?
Edible cream? If it is good enough to eat then it is healthy for skin too.
Sesame not organic?
Any fillers added that do not legally have to be put on the ingredient list?
Vitamin E : Rancid or fresh enough to eat?
Wheatgerm : Rancid ?
Price : At $400/ kg then it might be cheaper and just as beneficial to use pure coconut oil at $25 /Kg.

Is that the Essential Therapeutics Damask Rose Cream?  Looks like it from the ingredients and price   Is wonderful stuff, Essential Therapeutics are one of the most ethical and well researched essential oils suppliers I know of, not very easy to find in shops, they're more a therapist brand than retail outlet brand.

oooh, re-read your post a bit more carefully and realised you said it was made by a naturopath, also checked the Essential Therapeutics one and it has a few more ingredients, so it's not the same - I juest went by the name and the carrot and calendula, and the price.  The ET one has been around for over 10years, though I don't think they say everything is organic in it, just that a lot of it is wild crafted.  Looks like someone has made up their own version and saying it is organic, though I don't know of any supplier saying they have organic carrot oil, I wonder where they get it from, or could be the old you only need 95% of agricultural ingredients (so doesn't indcude water) to be able to call skincare organic - the essential oils are probably in the 5% (which is why I've got faith in ET, they tell you exactly what ingredient is/isn't organic/wild crafted/pesticide free, they don't label blends as organic/pesticde free/wild crafted/etc)  Having said that, with the extraction process for most essential oils, I doubt any pesticide residue would make it through anyway (a LOT of essential oils are steam distilled, ie not raw,  cold pressed or CO2 extract would be the closest to raw, but you get more pesticide in cold pressed (mainly used for citrus oils) and CO2 makes very expensive essential oils (the ET Damask Rose cream does use CO2 extract oils)))  Or it could be the old 'organic' means it contains carbon atoms basis for calling it organic, nothing to do with pesticides or how it was grown.

MV Skincare (Australian company) is about as close to organic as you can get (some of their stuff IS 100% organic), but it's over $100 for 100ml 

MOISTURISERS : CHOICE  magazine says that moisturisers reduce fine lines but have no effect on wrinkles.You could read their report in their magazine at some libraries.Just look at  the index at the back of the magazine. 

I could……….…but I don’t want to.

I cancelled my subscription to CHOICE last year.

They did a very negative and misleading article, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. And I came to realise that they may not be quite as “independent” as they claim to be.

What CHOICE say about fine lines and wrinkles may be true but I have no desire to ever read that publication again.

Not sure what CHOICE magazine has to do with my original post though.

I was simply recommending a nice face moisturiser, I wasn’t making claims about what it can and can’t do.

Re: The ingredients in the Damask Rose Cream are organic.

CHOICE did a misleading article on what subject?
