Mychelle Dermaceuticals!
Okay, okay, a little back story. I have terrible skin (rosacea) and I am allergic/sensitive to a slew of chemicals. I have, quite literally, spent my entire adult life searching for skin products that I can use. That's right, just use. Not skin care products that live up to their own hype, just something I can put on my skin without developing a rash and breaking out in pustules.
I have had good luck making my own skin care products (check out this book), but finding time is an obstacle, plus buying all the ingredients can get expensive. The one product that I am consistently looking for is sunscreen which I cannot make myself. Because of my job I have to spend significant time in the sun. A few years ago I found Vanicream which I can wear, it gives really good protection, but makes me look like I rubbed Crisco on my face and clogs my pores. Therefore, I wear it when I am in the field, or at the pool with the kids, but otherwise I go without sunscreen.
I recently stumbled upon a review for Mychelle sunscreen and decided I should check it out. Well, I love it. Doesn't irritate my skin, seems to give good protection, AND it is not greasy!! I am wearing it everyday. This is a really big deal for me!
SO now I've been checking out the rest of their product line and I am in love. I've been able to use every product I've tried so far!!!! This has never happened to me before. I also think my skin is looking better - less red and less rosacea acne. It is also softer and smoother.
Even if you don't have the skin/allergy issues that I do I would still recommend this line. If I can use their products then you know they are gentle and free from nearly all noxious chemical ingredients.

I have problem skin (it gets very dry, but most brands just make it greasy without dealing with the dryness) and have started using an own brand(!). We have here in the UK a chain of pharmacies called Boots, and they do a really really gentle own brand which is good. Only taken me about 7 years or so to find it, so I know what you mean. I'm going to check the link you gave and see if they're available in the UK though.
It i s really worth checking out if they sell in the UK (and I don't buy directly from their website, too expensive, I use re-sellers instead). Making your own skin care stuff is fun, but a big time suck. L1 always enjoyed helping me out though.
