Okay all you 'fountains of organic info', need some advice...

Need a recommendation for organic night cream - have just read and looked up the ingredients on a tube of Body Shop Tea Tree night lotion (can't remember exact title) and was stunned by the ingredients. So am a fan of Weleda stuff but has anyone any other faves? Ta.

I don't really use a night cream but I do have Fruitful Nights here from Green People but that's more of a clarifying type cream than a traditional night cream. I've also had the Weleda Pomegranate set which had a night cream in that was really nice. I tend to only use a day moisturiser though mainly so can't be of much help. Generally I use Green People and Lavera for day to day face stuff. Dr Hauschka is nice but bit pricey. Some of the online sites provide samples so I'd try and get some sample sachets first as I've found things like moisturisers very hit and miss whether I like them - am currently using a daily Aubrey Organic one which I really like.

Thanks, have noticed that Weleda night creams are on an offer at Ocado atm with 25% off so shall try one.

@Edwardia - shall steer clear of Organic Surge (although its on offer too) as under Ingredients it says:

Ingredients
Organic Surge is the brand name of this product and does not imply any claim of organic content.

So beware - it happens all too often that the word 'organic' is used and people assume it means produced in an organic manner or certified organic. :mad:

^ How misleading is that! I've never even looked at their products though and that is why I've not seen them in the organic shops then.

The Weleda pomegranate trial size set I got doesn't seem to be in stock now - it was similar to this but also with a hand cream which I really liked.

On their website it says Organic & Natural Beauty Products, not only that but The founder of Organic Surge says "And so in 2006 I created a range of products developed with integrity, enriched with organic essential oils and untouched by harsh chemicals – affordably priced, too. Organic Surge was born!"".

I think that is misleading frankly considering the disclaimer they put on their products under the ingredients.

Kirri, could have been worse, could have been skunk anal glands !
Skunk is just the worst smell in the world.

I feel aggrieved about Organic Surge too. That's way too misleading.
