This is a simply superb body oil from The Organic Pharmacy. I often find that organic beauty companies sometimes get a bad press, in that people don’t always take organic companies seriously. Well with The Organic Pharmacy you will find an outstanding product range that is performance driven organics that have been dermatologically tested. If you scroll down to the bottom of this review I have taken from The Organic Pharmacy’s website ten points which explain clearly the ethos of this great company.
This body oil, which contains a natural retinoid-like ingredient, Bakuchiol, significantly reduces premature ageing, wrinkles and pigmentation, whilst also firming your skin. Many beauty companies make many claims but with The Organic Pharmacy, their statements are clinically proven. So when they tell me that it will increase my skin’s elasticity (+15%) and reduce the number (-29%) and length (-34%) of wrinkles, as assessed after 28 days of once a day application, I believe them! Yet of course as a cynical journalist and reading about this oil, I had of course to put it to the test! I found that this oil was light to use on my skin and so hydrating, my skin was left feeling soft, rehydrated and it actually looked much brighter. Noticeable improvements on my first use but then after a week my skin texture and fine lines showed further improvement – brilliant, it really was quite remarkable to see. This is such an invigorating body oil and perfect for toning and detoxifying and I loved the smell of juniper, rosemary and fennel essential oils and the fact that it contains natural Retinoid, rosehip, orange, and carrot oil. It really was such a treat to use and now on my favourites list for sure.
This beautiful body oil can slot into either your morning or night routine. Just apply to clean, damp skin using light, circular motions and allow it to work its anti-aging magic. Perfect for areas such as your décolleté, shoulders and around the knee. Actually I was perhaps rather too lavish with it as I just enjoyed the luxury of using it.
One to try or perhaps put on your birthday list!

Our Co-Founder:
Margo Marrone, a Pharmacist and Homeopath, co-founded The Organic Pharmacy in 2002 with her passion to create a new way of thinking about natural health and beauty. “25 years ago organic food was scarce and no one really thought about what they put in their body or on their skin and the importance it played on their health and immune system. I believed then and even more so now that the way we live is directly related to our health. keeping our minds and body healthy using healthy ingredients free from toxins not only helps keep us fit but also the world we live in. The Organic Pharmacy for me was a way that people all over the world can access, healthy, scientific and results driven products and treatments to heal the mind and body.”
Spa Treatments:
Each Pharmacy has its own spas offering health and beauty therapies and a range of cutting- edge beauty treatments. Our products are used in leading global spas including Six Senses and Four Seasons. Click on ‘spa’ to see our offerings and partners.
Our Roots:
At the base of the page for a reason. From our first customer in our first store, on London’s Kings Road two decades ago, we have been dedicated to all things organic and ‘clean’. Our path has not wavered, we are still a one-stop destination for health and skincare needs: a fully stocked homeopathic and herbal dispensary, skin clinic and medi spa. Our products are now available in 40 countries, and proud to be bringing organic innovation to the world.
