Hi Nureva I've actually reviewed the Sukin Shampoo and Conditioner and Sukin Foaming Facial Cleanser which I'd used previously. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, I came across your blog, and I am also a new user of Sukin Skincare Product. I do agree about your comment that different people might get different reaction with each skincare. I tried it for 2 weeks now, I bought shampoo and foaming cleanser, and developed a few redness at my face after using it.I have extra sensitive skin so maybe I’m allergic to some of its ingredients..but other than redness, i do notice that my skin got softer and Sukin product do smell like heaven. So how’s your experience using Sukin? Share with me..

I am a cosmetic scientist so hopefully I do know a bit about the debate over parabens and sodium lauryl sulphate.

I would say that there is no evidence of either sodium lauryl sulphate or parabens being seriously harmful. I use products that contain both when I have to, in hotels etc. But sodium lauryl sulphate is not as good for your skin as some of the alternatives. Likewise parabens can build up in your skin and there are now alternatives, so why not use them.

I don’t know the brand you talk about here so thanks for drawing it to my attention.

I have a blog where I talk about this kind of thing (www.colinsbeautypages.co.uk). You are very welcome to visit it if you are interested in learning more.

I’ve actually never seen this brand here. There’s A’kin, which is an organic skincare brand, similar to what Sukin is. It’s expensive though, so I use Natural Instinct instead (http://www.naturalinstinct.com.au).

I took Vivawoman’s advice on cleaning my makeup brushes with the organic wash. So far so good

Hey, looking forward to your review on their shampoo. That’s one I decided to pass cos I’ve got greasy hair and I definitely need SLS for that…haha…

Maria: It might be a newer brand. As a teaser I’d say they are pretty decent especially at the affordable price!

Monstro: I think with all the chemicals available in everything these days our skins are probably becoming more sensitive. Not to say that “natural” or “organic” products don’t have chemicals too. That’s a common misconception.

Can’t wait for your reviews as I’ve found that my skin has developed sensitivities/allergies as I age. I’ll occasionally get eczema spots here and there. So I could use some stuff with less/no chemicals:-)
