Farm’s launch of skincare range is ‘realisation of a long held ambition’
A Barns Green business has launched its own high end skin care range.
Durwin Banks, founder and farmer of The Linseed Farm, is expanding into skin care after two decades farming linseed with his sister Wendy, and now nephew Lee.
He sells a range of linseed products online and via distributors including pods, culinary oils, and oils for animals but after months of planning, testing, and trialling he has diversified with a range of high end, spa quality face creams, soap bars, and a hyaluronic acid serum.
The key ingredient is linseed with other natural ingredients. Durwin said: “During the development of our face creams it became apparent that the linseed oil supercharges all the ingredients that we use.
“The natural omega three content of the oil combined with the well-known hydrating abilities of linseed produces the most luxurious skin food to be found.
“For our face we have an unscented and a natural lavender and chamomile cream. It hydrates and plumps the skin, smoothing out fine lines, giving a healthy glow.”
The entire range has been subjected to testing with a Cosmetic Safety Report to legally sell cosmetic products and the face creams and serum have safety assessments, he added. “This is the realisation of a long held ambition to bring skin care products that really supercharge and cherish the skin for women of all ages; that are high end but available at an affordable price.”
