Sekoa Multipurpose Cream 300ml | Face and Body Moisturiser | Helps Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines | Helps Reduce Scar Visibility | with Lavender, Chamomile, Calendula and Rosemary Oils

A great product for my older skin best one I’ve found so far. Not too expensive and a lovely smell.

Smells lovely, and is currently available from Home Bargains for only 99p.But - eczema on my neck, which had been improving, and was only faintly pink and not itchy, reacted badly to this cream last night.Instant burning and redness. I washed it off immediately, but this morning my neck is still bright red and itchy.I don't know which of the many ingredents has caused the reaction.

Really liked the aroma. Went on well. But did not keep my skin moisturised for too long. Shame

I am pleased to see that this has reduced in price and is at the time of the review under £10 for 300ml which makes it almost reasonably priced.The bottle does not report water as the first ingredient – but the Amazon web page does.The next ingredient is liquid paraffin – think Vaseline. It is the sign of a cheap skin cream but it can relieve eczema and itching and helps lock in moisture. It can also cause acne by clogging pores.Then cetyl ethylhexanoate which works to soften, soothe, and lubricate the skin. It also acts as an occlusive ingredient by forming a protective, water-repelling film on the surface of skin. The film helps to prevent evaporation of the skin’s natural moisture.Glycerin – which absorbs water and which can damage the skin by drawing water from lower layers of the skin but which is common in hand creams - not really for overnight useGlyceryl Stearate - A super common, waxy, white, solid stuff that helps water and oil to mix together, gives body to creams and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth.Cetearyl alcohol – which is an emollientDimethicone, a silicone-based polymer that is frequently used as a skin protectant in skincare products. The second most common moisturizing ingredient found in moisturizers after petrolatum, dimethicone helps condition the skin—improving its softness and flexibility.Isopropyl myrisate - which helps soften and smooth dry skin.Further down the list, there are some nice smells including:- lavender oil,- rosemary oil- calendula oil, a natural oil extracted from marigold flowers (Calendula officinalis). It's often used as a complementary or alternative treatment. Calendula oil has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties that might make it useful in healing wounds, soothing eczema, and relieving diaper rash- chamomile extract that soothes skin, has inflammation-reducing properties, antibacterial properties, and it smells nice.On balance, I would say this is OK but nothing special.

Great thickness, absorbs quickly, dispenses very easily! Got it on deal and it justifies the price!!Love the scent too

This is a very decent cream (in the usual understanding of creams). It has a sharp but rather pleasant smell and is easily absorbed. The container is ace, too. But at this my praise stops.After the launch of the amazing Amazon Aware clothing line and as I already had a couple of Sekoa products of different nature (cotton wipes, washable), I was lead to expect this cream would be more environmentally healthy. Unfortunately, it is full of nasties. There are things that are present in most of the other creams and skincare products on the market, from much more expensive brands and, obviously, cheaper ones. But I was so hoping Amazon would smash it and champion the so-much-needed-and-awaited change!Guys, you can do it! You are a golden standard in so many ways, for so many of us. If there are things and prices to compare, people always turn to Amazon to find some orientation and guidance. You have such an opportunity to make that difference, and I am sure with us all backing you up, you would incur no losses from taking that risk of changing things for the better. You can. You should. I am holding my breath.

The media could not be loaded. You get 300ml of cream in this container. The cream is easily dispensed via the push down nozzle. It is absorbed into the skin easily and is not greasy. Its not a heavy cream but it’s not too light either. It’s feels nice on the skin either face or body. It has a lovely smell that’s not too strong so those that don’t like strong scents should find it ok too. Can’t comment on long term benefits but it’s a nice cream at a reasonable price

The perfuming (including the likes of lavendula, rosemary & calendula) is far, far too strong for me, considerably unpleasant in fact. And I'm finding that this cream is causing irritation to my hands, which are a bit sensitive to creams and soaps with strong added scents, and it's almost certainly the strong perfuming which is the problem here too.Secondly, looking at the ingredients on the label, it includes retinyl palmitate, i.e. a palm oil derivative, so if you are trying to be eco-conscious, this product is really not for you. What is really unconscionable to my mind is that although this ingredient is mentioned on the label on the bottle itself, it is completely omitted - possibly deliberately to avoid scrutiny? - from the list of ingredients displayed on this product page. (Conversely the main ingredient, water, is mentioned on this product page but not on the label.)
