Recently the organic brand Block Island Organics reached out to me and asked if I would like to try some of their products, and after checking out their website I said absolutely! They currently offer a cleanser, night cream and an SPF sunscreen. In this post you'll see pics, swatches and reviews of each product.

Block Island Organics Purifying Facial Cleanser Info & Review
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses
PRODUCT DETAILS...
An antioxidant and vitamin rich, organic and natural formula that cleans skin with gentle botanicals while maintaining moisture balance. Suitable for all skin types.
Gently removes build-up, impurities and makeup while freshening skin. Organic ingredients like rosehip, chamomile, sunflower, avocado, olive and more. Packed with antioxidants like vitamin C & E to revitalize skin.
Cruelty free vegan formula and never tested on animals. No parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates, dyes or artificial fragrances.
MY REVIEW...
This is a nice lightweight, liquid-gel cleanser. It has a very light scent, which is great for me, as I'm often sensitive to scents. The ingredients in this cleanser are great, especially if you've been looking for an organic, vegan skin care formula.
As a beauty blogger I try out a lot of products, and skin care is a tricky one to try out because I have to be very careful with my acne prone skin as to what I switch up in my routine. Currently I am using a cleanser for acne, but I have tested this cleanser out and still use it every so often if I feel like the acne cleanser is making my face a little too dry.
This cleanser did a nice job at removing makeup, but I still prefer to always do a double cleanser if I have a full face of makeup or use a makeup remover first. It does a nice job at cleansing the skin without leaving it dry or tight. It just leaves your skin soft, clean and fresh!
I really enjoyed this cleanser and would continue to use this. I think I'd recommend this for anyone who wants a basic cleanser (meaning non-acne cleanser) that isn't filled with chemicals!

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses
PRODUCT DETAILS...
Packed with antioxidants like Vitamin C (offers anti-aging benefits) and Vitamin E (protects against the effects of sun exposure), this organic and natural cream nourishes skin.
Made with organic ingredients like cocoa butter, rosehip, avocado, aloe vera, jojoba and more. Nourishes and moisturizes, non-greasy and suitable for all skin types.
Cruelty free vegan formula and never tested on animals. No parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates, dyes or artificial fragrance.
MY REVIEW...
I love the texture of this night cream; very lightweight but moisturizing! It sinks in quickly. If you have very dry skin - like my skin can sometimes get - I do find this isn't as intensely moisturizing as some other products I own, but it is really good.
It sinks in quickly and leaves your skin feeling soft and nourished. Even though this is labeled as a night cream, you could use it during the day because of how light weight it is.
The scent is nice too; very light and barely there.
I have been using this moisturizing off and on and really enjoy it! I love the pump top applicator too!!

SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen
SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen
Block Island Organics SPF 30 Natural Mineral Sunscreen Info & Review
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses
PRODUCT DETAILS...
An ultra lightweight, non-nano and instantly absorbing natural mineral sunscreen great for babies, kids and adults. A small amount goes a long way.
Organic and natural ingredients - zinc only (safest and best UV filter). SPF 30 and broad spectrum protection decreases the risk of skin cancer and aging. Ultra lightweight and non-greasy formula, can be worn under makeup.
Gluten and nano free, vegan formula, eco-friendly (no ingredients shown to harm reefs). Plus, no parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates, dyes or artificial fragrance.
MY REVIEW...
Aside from the fact that everyone should use sunscreen, for me it's extra important because I have tattoos on my arms and legs that I want to protect from sun exposure. SPF 30 isn't super intense for that (I prefer SPF 50 or higher to protect my tattoos) but this is a great everyday sunscreen!
What's best about this sunscreen is you won't find it filled with chemicals! Plus, you can use it on your face in addition to your body. I find myself using this whenever I go to the dog park (which is nearly every day) or just to take long walks with my dog. I still prefer SPF 50 or higher specifically for my tattoos if I'm going to be out in the sun all day - such as at an amusement park or the beach (neither of which I have gone to yet this summer).
I love that this is a natural sunscreen option because a lot of sunscreens on the market are filled with junk that you don't need to be putting on your body, and especially not your face!
It's non-greasy, spreads and absorbs easily, and the scent isn't intense or gross.
I use this on my 10 year old son and he does not get burned, and believe me, he is out in the sun more then I am! This is a great sunscreen!
If you've been looking for a natural sunscreen, then look no further!
