Dr Jackson's skincare

Fascinated by native plants and their use in traditional medicine, Dr. Simon Jackson  travelled the world seeking out innovative and ethical natural ingredients.  This science-led brand not only produces fabulous skincare, they also sell herbal teas.

Dr Jackson's Skincare
Vegan, sustainable, non-toxic,  all-natural and - here's the most important bit for me -  not tested on animals. Besides that, this company avoids plastics as much as possible  and use only recyclable boxes.

​Products are packaged in lovely minimalist, lab-inspired bottles and jars.  The company decided from the start that beauty products should be clean, safe and of course effective, so to this end, their meticulously researched products use the finest natural ingredients and are suitable all skin types.

Night Cream
It is a pleasure to use this cream, it feels so lovely, rich and luxurious. It hydrates, smooths and softens skin while you snooze and is full of botanicals that work in synergy to regenerate dry skin and help diminish fine lines.  Kigelia fruit extract helps to firm and even skin tone, baobab seed oil contains vitamins and antioxidants that protect against environmental pollutants and then there's fabulous frankincense, known to calm and soothe the complexion.  That leaves the mango seed butter which goes deep into the skin to  nourish and helps protect against environmental contaminants. 
Suitable for all skin types including very sensitive, dry and combination, it provides long-lasting hydration.

Face Oil
Enriched with 100% natural ingredients including Baobab and Marula oils - oh and did you know that the Baobab fruit contains six times as much vitamin C as an orange? - with extracts of Calendula and Arnica flowers, this delightful oil is rich in antioxidants and acids which improve firmness and elasticity, helps to even skin tone and soothe inflammation. To use, all you do is massage a couple of pumps into your skin.
Remember, it's always best when trying new ingredients to do a patch test first.

Day cream/ Moisturiser
I love this lightweight moisturiser that keeps skin hydrated throughout the day.  This nourishing formula is packed with nutrient-rich botanicals that work in synergy to deeply moisturise, regenerate and smooth the appearance of fine lines.  It is suitable for all skin types, whether yours is  sensitive like mine, or dry and combination, it provides all-day hydration  for those who prefer an everyday moisturiser without SPF.

 Dr Jackson was a melanoma specialist during his time at King's College Department of Dermatology where he researched ingredients that had special healing properties for the skin. This is why his skincare products are based on the principles of pharmacognosy: the study of natural medicines derived from plants and their traditional uses.  Makes sense then, that the products bearing his name care for skin in a natural,  effective way and are beneficial for sensitive and problem skins.

During Dr Jackson’s academic career, he held research positions at King’s College, University of London and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.  Even more influential though was his time spent learning from tribal communities around the world, where he learned under knowledgeable shamans and healers in the Amazon, Indonesia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
