Our cream bases
At Saarinen Organics, we make our own cream base to protect the integrity of our products, so you and I can be sure exactly what goes in it. Also I formulate each individual product in accordance to the consistency of the natural ingredients. No batch is exactly the same so there may be variants in color, texture, consistency and smell - that's the nature of natural ingredients
Many products contain active ingredients combined with a cream base purchased somewhere else.
