Miessence’s soothing moisturiser is one of their organic skin care products I’ve tried in sample form. I feel comfortable reviewing this natural & organic moisturiser extensively, because I had a bag full of sample’s in my possession… and used them all myself! Oooh!
Samples are usually meant for sharing, I know. One sample bag is good for a few days, so all in all, there was enough to really get to know this certified organic soothing moisturizer.
Packaging
Certified organic moisturisers by Miessence come in an air-tight dispenser, a great way to keep the product form being attacked by germs (through the dipping of dirty fingers in the jar). Samples come in a little bag, as seen in the picture.
From a green-minded perspective, the choice of this organic skin care brand for plastic may seem surprising, but Miessence has not made this choice lightly and makes a solid case. Plastic is much lighter that glass, so it saves a lot on shipping, in fuel as well as in costs for the customers. Plastic can be recycled and when handled responsibly, apparently it is one of the more eco-friendly choices!
Texture
This all-natural soothing organic moisturiser is rather thin. I would almost call it runny. The texture is still creamy, but if you’re comparing it to cream in a jar (which can be held upside down and not fall out), than this one is definitely runny. It feels very, very fresh on my face. I even catch myself looking forward to my next moisturising-session because of this sensation! Sometimes I just re-apply during the day because it’s such a delight. My skin absorbs it really well and is left smooth and nourished.
Scent
Fresh, a little herbal, someone even told me it smells like apples. Scents are so subjective!

What I like about the Soothing Moisturiser
- Love the scent.
- Love how it hydrates my skin and how well it is absorbed.
- Absolutely love the all-natural ingredient list! If you’re looking for a clean, botanical organic moisturiser, this is a great splurge. If you go for it, I would love to know how long one bottle lasts.
- Oh yes, and about those samples, they’re also ideal to take along on short trips. One sample bag for me is just enough for a weekend away, I take two to be on the safe side and it saves me from taking the more heavy toiletries..
What I like less about Soothing Moisturiser
Well, as lovely as this all-natural organic moisturiser is… The most diplomatic way of putting it would be to say that if you’re used to shopping A-list brands such as Lancome, Estee lauder or Sisheido, the price tag of miessence skin care shouldn’t be an issue. In that case, it would definitely be worth trying to switch to this totally natural and organic moisturizer!
