Lyonsleaf Zinc & Calendula Cream

SOOTHES, CALMS AND REPELS MOISTURE

 

Lyonsleaf Zinc and Calendula Cream contains the same amount of calming Calendula as our original Calendula Cream. It also contains Zinc Oxide (found in calamine lotion), it is unfragranced and is a nut oil free formulation (although it may contain nut oil traces)

Zinc oxide has it's own soothing properties, but is also rumoured to reduce excess sebum production (be aware some people find it drying). It also forms a breathable, protective and moisture repellent barrier (be warned! - it's so good it wont easily wash off of clothes or cloth nappies).

Made with pure plant oils, beeswax, mineral ingredients (zinc), home grown herbs and nothing else.

Key ingredients: Calendula, Zinc Oxide, Babassu Oil, Beeswax, Borage Oil. 95% organic / wild harvest / mineral

We are Ben and Vicky Lyons and we run Lyonsleaf from our small farm on the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England.

 

Lyonsleaf started out as a food and herb business, selling the produce we grew on our farm to local restaurants and at farmers markets. However, we had long been making natural skincare products as a hobby (using home-grown ingredients from our farm) and so in 2010 we started to sell some of our beauty products on our market stalls, too.

 

Lyonsleaf skincare was an instant hit with our customers, who would wander off with a tester and return half an hour later to buy. We were also amazed to have many customers telling us it had worked wonders for treating their eczema and psoriasis.

 

At that time, we were trying for a baby and unfortunately had several failed pregnancies. This led us to undertake extensive research into nutrition and the effects of artificial chemicals on the body and we became increasingly interested in taking as natural an approach to life as possible. I (Vicky) also developed very sensitive skin and started having reactions to products that my skin had previously tolerated.

 

The turning point came when I had a reaction to a cleanser that caused terrible eczema on my face. I used my own natural calendula moisturiser to soothe it and my skin started to improve, but doubting my own wisdom I went to the doctor who gave me a prescription for a mild steroid cream. As soon as I applied it I knew it was a mistake; within a few seconds my skin started stinging and my eyes swelled so much I could hardly see.

At that point we knew we could offer a better alternative with our natural skincare products and we really started to believe in ourselves. We decided to focus on skincare alone and embarked on some serious research, to create a natural skincare range that provided real results while being kind to the skin.

 

With a lot of hard work, Lyonsleaf has since developed into becoming the small but perfectly formed range of 100% natural skincare products you see today. We are hugely proud to have since won two awards in the 2014 FreeFrom Skincare Awards and are delighted to now be parents to our beautiful daughter Evie.  

 

Made on a small farm in Somerset, England, using home-grown ingredients where possible, Lyonsleaf is passionate about producing skincare that is 100% natural and 100% water-free, using 100% active ingredients to produce incredibly effective products that are safe, gentle and affordable.

 

100% NATURAL INGREDIENTS

All Lyonsleaf skincare is 100% natural, with every single ingredient working hard to fulfil a purpose for the skin. If an ingredient doesn’t directly benefit the skin, it’s not included in Lyonsleaf products.

 

100% WATER-FREE PRODUCTS

By avoiding the use of water in Lyonsleaf formulations it eliminates the need for any synthetic ingredients, as water-free products don’t require the use of harsh preservatives and emulsifiers. You won’t find a single artificial preservative, colour or fragrance in Lyonsleaf products so you can rest assured that your skin is being treated with the utmost care.

 

100% ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

By taking a water-free approach, Lyonsleaf is able to deliver 100% active ingredients containing a huge quantity of natural compounds, vitamins and antioxidants to benefit the skin. All Lyonsleaf ingredients are in the most unprocessed state possible with only cold-pressed, unrefined and cold blended oils used, to maximise their effects on the skin.

 

MADE IN BRITAIN WITH HOME-GROWN INGREDIENTS

Lyonsleaf products are made on a small farm on the Mendip Hills in Somerset, England. Lyonsleaf grows its own ingredients where possible, to ensure the harvest is the best quality and that nothing has been sprayed or grown with chemicals.
