Saffron Organic - www.saffronorganic.co.uk

Often considering myself the 'Metro Sexual' male, I have often been conscious of trying to look and smell my level best. Much of this comes from working in a busy environment and as part of a London based business with an influx of young and eager talent. To ensure I can hold my own and as a man in his mid-thirties, I am keen to ensure I can fend off the aging process and still fit in with the younger crowd.

As far as Saffron Organic goes, I have found both the Ylang Ylang & Orange Bodywash, Lemon & Tea Tree Facial Wash and Fragrance Free Face Balm are all natural and affordable and invigorating alternatives to the dull products available on the High Street that claim to do everything but quite simply do not. I am always keen to support local businesses but on this particular occasion it is the products themselves that have 'sold' Saffron Organic to me. The ethos is that products should be made from natural ingredients which aim to be both kind to the body as well as the environment - and nothing else which is as refreshing as the products they offer.

The other positive is that products are available for all the family; Men, Women and babies. I would like to see a little more on offer for the men, however. Something in connection with male grooming - shaving oil, or cream perhaps? I am also a big fan of the humble bar of soap..! I guess this will always be a problem though. You start offering some decent products and people will always want more! This should not be seen as a negative.

Items have arrived well packaged and in good time.

In terms of the website, it is both informative and easy to navigate. There are one or two things I would suggest from a look and feel point of view; the two horizontal menu bars at the top as well as the vertical options down the side can be a bit too much although I am not sure what alternatives there are to improve this. Also, some items seem to 'float' about the page, e.g. the 'skin care product search' option and the 'add up to 3 free samples' link could be better placed. Finally some of the text and images are displayed a little blurry and some inconsistency in font size (maybe this is intentional) but now I'm really scratching the barrel for positive criticism and none of this should take away from all of the good stuff that Saffron Organic is really all about.

Good luck to them. They have certainly found a customer in me.

Great website, really easy to use, everything worked and delivery on time. Thanks.

I like the look and feel of this site, easy to use with a friendly yet informed persona. I bought my products last year but revisited the site for some early Christmas shopping - there seems to be something for everyone from my teenage niece/nephew to even older male relatives. Very well presented, good colour scheme and lay out - I especially like the photos of the key ingredients on the product pages - really educational for those of us who didn't know what tea tree looked like. And the Soil Association logo gave me confidence to buy. Great that the company recycles packaging, yet my order still felt "special'.

This is an admirably clear site, i saw exact;y what i would be buying but a;so had a strong sense of the ethic and atmosphere of the se;;er. the soil association logo was a pleasant surprise and a strong selling point. the button saying 'email me' made me feel i would be in touch with a real person and not just a system. The whole site is clear, easy to navigate and doesnt overload me with information.

I'm a real sucker for pampering myself and loved ones with cosmetics . Although in recent years I've grown more accustomed to buying on line as I can take hours reading through labels and going through all the details (something almost impossible to do while standing in a Lush shop , seriously some of us need our space when making a decision over which conditioner is going to be the one to make me look ten years younger :-) something you can't do with a sales assistant going at 100mph in your ear , so when it comes to web shopping I'm a bit of an old hand. Good websites like this one have things easily laid out and don't clutter the interface with too many options while at the same time offering a variety of products . I like this site because it's clean and non cluttered (unlike my bathroom which is filling up with way too many jars tubes and bottles .)

I purchased 3 products from the Saffron Organic website. I have previously bought supposedly 'organic' products from other suppliers but am always wary they are really organic. I was reassured to see that Saffron Organic only stocks products that have been certified by the Soil Association and provides transparent information about all the ingredients that go into the products. This is especially helpful for someone like me who has sensitive skin.

I chose the cleanser (and face cloths to go with it) and a moisturising lotion. The website was easy to use, the products arrived on time and throughout the process I received just the right amount of communication. The products themselves were of high quality and great value for money! The cleanser cleaned the skin without drying and the moisturiser left my skin feeling fresh and healthy.

I have since recommended the website to friends and family, especially coming up to Christmas or other special occasions as there are often gift packs and special deals available.

Saffron Organic is a great website which is easy to use and offers fantastic products and at competitive prices. My order came quickly and only have good things to say about the company.

Have and will recomended them to all of my friends!!
