Brand Spotlight: Inner Senses Organic Beauty Review *


Inner Senses are a multi award-winning British artisan brand of organic beauty and wellbeing products, aromatherapy based, with a holistic approach and apothecary traditions -- and I am beyond grateful to be able to say that I am one of their Brand Ambassadors!  That means I can now offer all you eco-beauties an exclusive discount every month, a free sample with any full size purchase you make with Inner Senses (more details at the end of this post!), plus can give you insights into each product, give peeks at upcoming products like the one launching on January 30th, give access to special offers running, and even share giveaway information!

If you have not heard of Inner Senses before, if you missed my previous posts that feature this amazing brand, or if you are wanting to learn more about their range of organic beauty and wellbeing products, then this Brand Spotlight is the perfect place to start.

This is a natural, cruelty free, and vegan friendly brand full of passion, skill, and dedication, and the love that Lisa (Inner Senses' founder!) pours into all her formulations really shines through.  Each batch is hand-crafted in the workshop to ensure freshness, but also to keep the therapeutic natures of each ingredient in tact so that the final product can fully capture their beneficial powers that work to boost both beauty and wellbeing.  Plus, all the oils in the Inner Senses range are between 92% and 98% organic -- how amazing is that??

A glimpse into the Inner Senses workshop!

As you may remember, I first reviewed one of Inner Senses' products back in April last year, and I very quickly fell for the quality, versatility, and ethos of the brand.  Usually I choose a body oil based on how much I like the scent and how moisturizing it is, but I have to say with Inner Senses it is so much more than that -- each formula offers unique, targeted, and effective properties that provide nourishment for the body but also therapeutic benefits for the mind and spirit.  It's not a matter of just searching for an oil that helps smooth and soften the skin, as they *all* do that.  My skin benefits from a moisture boost no matter which oil I choose, and I can instead focus on what other needs I have on any given day.

Inner Senses currently has four facial oils, eight body oils, and two multi-purpose oils, and I can honestly say I have been impressed by each and every one I have tested.  Sure, I have some favourites (some of which I have already hinted at on Instagram, and which will have their very own features later this year!), but I have loved using all fourteen formulas and have found that each one provides during specific times of need.  If I'm stressed, I know which oil to reach for after my shower.  If I am feeling self conscious about those stretch marks appearing from that weight I've gained, I know which oil can help minimize their appearance.  If my ADHD is especially bad and I need to refocus my mind, I know that Inner Senses has an oil that can boost clarity.

Today I thought I would share with you a quick summary of all the products available from Inner Senses, and then you eco-beauties can let me know which oils you are most interested in hearing more about first!  Whether it is one of the facial oils, a selection of body oils, or even a specific wellbeing need you are struggling with, let me know and I can get to work writing out my full thoughts for you!

Until then, I hope you enjoy learning about Inner Senses, and to give you an idea of everything this organic beauty and wellbeing brand has (and what each oil is best suited for!), have a browse below:

Gifted products as part of Brand Ambassador role

No matter how I have received a product, whether it has been purchased with my own money, gifted by a brand, been subsidized by a brand, won, gifted by friends/family, or purchased with a gift voucher, my approach is always the same -- honesty, integrity, and highlighting both the good and the bad.  You can find more information on Disclosures and Privacy here.

Body Oils

Vitality- "An uplifting blend of May Chang, Petitgrain and Neroli to revive and energise the body and mind," perfect for use earlier in the day, and ideal for uplifting your mood and helping set a more positive energy for your day

Sensual- "marries the King and Queen of flowers – Jasmine & Rose Otto – in combination with Sandalwood and Patchouli to create a luxurious treat for the skin and the senses," with a great calming energy, full of romantic florals, best used in the latter half of the day (but you do you!)

Awakening- "a grounding and cleansing blend which provides the perfect ritual enhancing accompaniment to Meditation, Reiki, and all subtle energy and mindfulness practices," subtle floral aroma that elicits sense of peace and calm, and works great all day long whenever you need a bit of clarity or headspace

Tranquil- "a deeply relaxing blend of Neroli, Lavender, Petitgrain & Mandarin essential oils, formulated to soothe the senses and melt away tension," fantastic for massage or pulse point treatment, instantly eases stress and calms nerves

Active- "an invigorating body oil formulated for use both prior to and following exercise" with a very grounding aroma (notes of ginger, black pepper, eucalyptus, and rosemary come through strongest for me).  See my initial review of this formula here, or check out how I use it for joint and muscle relief here.

Golden Sunset- "a heavenly, island-inspired blend of Vanilla and Cocoa extracts with Jasmine and Ylang Ylang oils, creating an enticing exotic aroma that transports the mind to faraway shores whilst nourishing the skin," feels like silk and a must for any lovers of luxurious aromas

Dream- "supremely relaxing blend which includes Marjoram, Lavender & Clary sage to promote deep restfulness," ideal for use in the evening, lovely heady aroma, and a great sleep aid

Bloom- "a soothing and gentle oil, formulated for use during pregnancy, to nourish the skin, improve tone and minimise the formation of stretch marks," multi-award winning, with a classic scent of lavender and citrus (with just a touch of more heady florals), great for creating a sense of calm, soothing stress, and promoting relaxation


Facial Oils



GLOW- "a nourishing and rejuvenating skin superfood, packed with organic nutrients and the beautiful aroma of Orange Flowers," light enough to work as a primer as well as a morning/evening moisture treatment, lovely sweet citrus scent is uplifting and helps promote a positive energy

Rose Precious- "a luxurious and concentrated blend of the finest active Rose essences & organic nutrients to nourish, tone, revive & hydrate dry, ageing and tired skin," heady and slightly sweet aroma that is incredibly relaxing, incredibly moisturizing

Reset- "an advanced formulation to support the skin in fighting the effects of pollutants and stress," with a juicy and oh so slightly fruity aroma, targets stressed, unbalanced, dull, tired, and lackluster skin and works to add radiance, smoothness, and firmness to the face.

Deep Blue C- "a daily treatment oil specifically formulated to help manage, prevent and heal oily, breakout prone and sensitive skin" with a deep, earthy, slightly sweet, medicinal scent.  Best suited for those with the following skin issues: Problematic | Sensitive | Spotty | Congested | Irritated | Inflamed


Multi Purpose:

7 Wonders- "a true multi-use product containing seven of Mother Nature’s most potent oils, Coenzyme Q10 and concentrated CO2 extracts to nourish, repair and renew the skin from the inside out," with a very fresh herbal scent.  Can be used for face or body, and is great for skin that needs extra TLC, such as those with mature, dehydrated, damaged or rough complexions.

Little Miracles- "a gentle and soothing multipurpose baby oil containing Chamomile & Lavender to relax cherubs and maintain healthy skin," award winning, very subtle scent, perfect for little one's nighttime routine or for times where their skin needs some TLC



Inner Senses currently offers this wide variety of targeted facial and body oils, but guess what -- there is an upcoming product launch that promises to expand this already brilliant range!  A few hints have been given over on Instagram already, so this is what we know so far:

- it is NOT a face or body oil
- the formula is "beautifully fresh" and has a "bursting-with-goodness aroma"
- it is orangey-golden in colour
- some of the star ingredients include carrot-infused organic jojoba oil, organic carrot seed CO2 extract, and organic tomato seed oil
- it launches on January 30th

And I'll let you in on a little secret -- as an Ambassador for Inner Senses I have actually had a chance to trial this product already! No true spoilers, as my lips are sealed until the launch, but I can assure you the formula is an absolute delight for the skin and it smells totally unique to anything I have used before.  I'm sure I will be sharing much more on this product in the future, but for now just be sure to keep your eyes peeled for further information over on Inner Senses' Instagram!

And, if you want a chance to win this brand new product, Paula from All Things 7 is offering one up to one lucky follower over on Instagram!  I'm sure you will be seeing even more giveaways from the whole Ambassador crew over time, so if you don't win don't sweat it.  Plus, you can always grab 15% off your purchase at Inner Senses at any point you are thinking of ordering (UPDATE -- THIS OFFER HAS NOW CHANGED SO YOU GET AN EVEN BETTER DEAL!)


UPDATED OFFER:
If you are interested in trying Inner Senses, or if you are already a fan of the brand and are looking to stock up on your favourite oils, you can use my special Brand Ambassador code to grab yourself a free trial size product with any full size order by using BRYANNA at checkout.  No minimum spend required, and samples range from £3.25 to £10 across the face and body range so this is a great way to trial a blend you are not 100% sure about yet.

Once you have picked your blend of choice just pop it in your cart, click through to checkout, pop the Ambassador code BRYANNA into the "Discount Code" box, and you can try the oil free of charge as easy as that!


Or, you can always grab a bottle of these fabulous oils over on Love Lula if you are looking to do a bulk shop or need to pick up some other staples.  You can nine of the fourteen oils on Love Lula, including both multi-purpose products, five of the body oils, and two of the facial oils.

I could go on writing about Inner Senses for pages and pages and pages, but I should probably pause for today since I have given you eco-beauties so much to think about already!  As I said before I am working on some in depth reviews of my favourite oils, but I also want to know which products you want to hear more about, or if you have any specific beauty or wellbeing needs you wish to have addressed.  Let me know in the comments, and I will get started! xx

  5. This sounds like my kinda brand! I would love the aromas of Sensual and Active, and 7 Wonders would be good too.
    I am an aromatherapist myself. I enjoy blending oils not necessarily for fragrance, but based on their actions and properties. Its great.
