Welcome, I am Katy Rowe and I would like to tell you more about my natural skincare brand, Maiiro
Maiiro was born out of a search for skincare to soothe the sensitive skin I was experiencing at the onset of my menopause. When I failed to find a suitable solution – my mind took me back to a time as a child and when my Granma used to collect seaweed on the beaches of Guernsey during a specific low tide. She created her own skincare from a mixture of different seaweeds and I remember that her skin always had a wonderful healthy glow. I decided to try the method for myself.
After trial and error over a number of years and with the help of a specialist skincare laboratory the award-winning result was revealed – a fragrance free skincare solution which works for all skin types and ages, including sensitive skin.
Maiiro products are made from mainly natural organic ingredients formulated in the UK and produced to the highest standards.

HOW TO USE
Simple daily routine
Maiiro skincare is a simple 2-step daily routine of:
soap + cream – nothing else needed.
-
STEP 1
Maiiro Organic Soap is a cleansing bar like no other. This amazing soap – our best selling product – is a face and body cleanser. It is rich in organic oils and rare botanicals and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
To use, add a small amount of water to the soap bar and roll the soap in your hands to get a covering of the soap and water mix.
Then put the soap aside.
Rubbing your hands across each other (like you would to warm your hands up) you can easily create a rich, smooth, creamy lather. Apply the creamy lather to your skin and then rinse with warm water.
You can then choose to 'tone' your skin with a splash of cold water.
Your face will need to be towel dry before the next phase.
-
STEP 2
Apply a small amount of Maiiro moisturising cream to your face and neck. The quantity of cream you will need depends on the condition of your skin and the time of year.
Unlike other moisturizing products, Maiiro Anti-Ageing Cream and Anti-Blemish Cream do not mix with water and if your skin is wet or damp it can create a milky texture. This is because they are rich in organic oils which your skin will enjoy.

Tester's Comments
Maiiro Anti-Ageing Cream
"It’s a lovely product to use. Smells nice, absorbs into the skin quickly and leaves the skin feeling soft and moisturised. It performed well. My skin was soft, glowing and well moisturised. It felt luxurious and nice to use. You don’t need very much so it’s going to last a long time, providing good value for money."
---------
"I really like this cream. It has such a lovely jar and such a beautiful texure that it is a pleasure to use. It feels really comfortable on my skin…I used this cream twice daily for the four week testing period. I had no adverse effects from using it. It consistently left my skin feeling comfortable and soft with no dry patches…it left my skin looking good and I enjoyed using it. This is an excellent moisturiser…I love the formulation and texture and it suited my skin very well. "
---------
"My skin felt soft to touch after applying the cream. I also noticed that makeup went on easily over the top. You only need a small amount of the cream, as a little goes a long way…It didn’t irritate my skin, which I liked and I put this down to it not having a fragrance…My skin feels smoother and softer to the touch."
"I was very impressed with their philosophy of becoming leaders in sustainability. The products ingredients are all organic and ethically sourced. They use their own blend of 5 different seaweeds in their products, which I haven’t seen in a face cream before and I particularly liked that the cardboard used is made from seaweed too."
---------
"The cream has a very subtle but pleasant sweet fragrance. The cream is soft peach in colour and the texture is like a cool creamy gel. I found this cream to be very hydrating. It feels very refreshing on the skin. I suffer with some areas of redness on my face but the cream felt instantly calming. It left my skin feeling dewy and plump. There is nothing I disliked about this product."
"This is a great anti ageing cream and I have found it to work really well. It offers a lot of hydration while at the same time keeping the skin feeling firm. I found it to be very effective at smoothing out fine lines…I have been so impressed with the cream. I have seen really positive results since I have started using this product."
"This is a high end product. The moisturiser contains some very interesting ingredients. The packaging is very unique and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into creating this product. I thought the product was excellent and it ticked a lot of boxes for me. I found this product an absolute treat to use."
Maiiro Anti-Blemish Cream
“This really puts a fire blanket on any irritated areas or angry spots. A pleasure to use and apply. I found that once my skin got used to the product that the initial oiliness I felt disappeared and my face felt much smoother and softer.”
“…my face felt calmer and smoother and I really looked forward to the end of the day when I could cleanse, tone and apply this cream.”
“I was very excited to give this product a try as it claims to alleviate skin concerns I experience including acne, blemishes, redness and dry patches. The product is a silky cream which is not too thick and not too runny. I did like that it was unscented and texture of it was just right.”
“I really liked the application of the cream. It absorbed almost instantly into the skin and did not feel greasy or sticky. It performed well daily at moisturising my skin and keep it hydrated throughout the day. It fitted in well with my skincare routine.”
---------
“The product did indeed change the condition of my skin. I experienced less breakouts and redness appeared reduced. Dryness was no longer a problem as my skin now feels hydrated and soft. It is no longer itchy or flaky in areas it would normally be and as a result of this my make up applies more evenly and does not cling to any dry patches – a bonus!”
“There is nothing that I would change about the product. The product is rather pricey however it is a really great product that works which is important and the packaging is truly exceptional! I feel this does justify the price point and I would be happy to buy this in future. I appreciate that the product is not tested on animals, is organic and vegan and also is made here in the UK.”
“I have to say, I really like the idea of island products, so I'm hoping it's going to be a good experience with this face cream!…This is a gel-cream in texture and has a lightweight quality. But it is also quite thick which makes it easy to apply. It absorbs well. It has a slight, pleasant fragrance, slightly on the apricot vibe – which I found refreshing and soothing.”
“I wasn't sure if this cream was doing much on early application. Then, after a few days, I started to see it really helped reduce redness. It also went some way to moisturising my skin, although maybe not all the way. It didn't cause irritation to my skin, which was a great benefit! It was not enough for my skin to feel thoroughly moisturised; I needed to add another cream on top, after this had absorbed. However, I think this situation improves over time, so you have to give the product a chance to deliver better results.”
“I do feel that this improved gradually, however. It is a product you have to persevere with to start to see the full benefits; when you do so, you are rewarded with smoother, calmer skin! It helped me manage my rosacea quite a bit better than many creams I have tried.”
“The gel-cream came into its own when I had a very sunburnt face after getting caught in the sun on an overly warm spring day. It really helped to reduce redness. I found it was good at calming my skin on a regular basis.”
“I felt my skin becomes more accustomed to this cream over time – in a positive way. In other words it seemed to adjust to be used to a cream that wasn't as rich as some others I had tried, without being overly dry all the time. To be fair, my skin did feel like it needed added moisturisation and richness on some days…but it helped toward keeping my acne rosacea calm and less red – those are good results!”
“The product is designed to help troubled, irritated, blemish-prone, reactive, flushed skin – all issues that I deal with in my skin condition – in a light-weight formula. Maiiro’s Anti-Blemish cream is fragrance-free, which works well for me.”
“Described as a calming moisturiser which helps to instantly soothe and hydrate irritated skin – I think these are all fair claims. My skin loved the cooling feel of applying this gel-style cream. It claims to promote healing and restore balance; for me the main effect was the skin feeling soothed and not getting overly irritated, on a daily basis.”
