Bio-First – UltraSensitive Skin Rescue Lotion

The cream comes in an airless pump and one pump gives enough of the medium-weight cream to cover both face and neck easily. The cream disperses smoothly and evenly when massaged in and absorbs quickly to leave a moisturised, non-greasy finish. It feels light on the skin and provided lasting moisture. When I used it, I didn’t get the feeling I had to reapply it, which can happen with some face creams that don’t have the right balance of humectants (the things that draw hydration to your skin) and occlusives (the things that lock it in). This one was perfectly balanced, long lasting and non irritating. It was a great base for makeup and didn’t pill no matter how much I rubbed it after application. The addition of probiotics in the form of papaya fruit ferment extract, among a slew of other calming and high-powered moisturising ingredients, means it helps your skin flora as well, which is really important for folks who have issues like Rosacea.

They comply with a variety of international standards when it comes to the quality of their ingredients, which is a great first step, and they use lower-wasting shipping materials, including eco-tape. I’m also glad to hear they’re exploring out to incorporate post-consumer recycled plastics into their product packaging.

This cream is lovely to apply. It glides on and absorbs quickly leaving the skin feeling hydrated without irritation.

I love that BIO-FIRST are independently validated as toxic-free by Safe Cosmetics Australia and Think Dirty so you can be assured the ingredients are safe for use. Also happy to read that they are looking into making the packaging more sustainable.

Excellent daily use moisturising cream that absorbs in quickly and helps stressed skin feel supported. Its nourishing but not too thick

Nature is at the centre of the ingredients and making of this product.
