Barefoot Botanicals Body Lotion Reviews


Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Body Lotion Review

By Catherine J.

Application: The Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina hourglass lifting and firming body lotion (£27.95) felt quite silky and absorbed easily into my skin. The skin was rich but not too thick and there was no greasiness when I applied it. It had a pleasant fragrance which was gentle but not over powering.

Packaging: The Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina hourglass lifting and firming body lotion comes in a white plastic pump dispenser bottle that is very easy to use. The writing is black and very clear and there are easy to read symbols on the back showing that the product doesn’t contain any chemical nasties, is cruelty free and suitable for vegans. The packaging is attractive and has the distinctive Barefoot Botanicals logo at the top. There are also the contact details for Barefoot Botanicals at the bottom of the bottle.

Ingredients: Like all Barefoot Botanical products, the Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina hourglass lifting and firming body lotion doesn’t contain any chemical nasties and the ingredients are 100% ethically sourced. The secret of the Rosa Fina range, as stated on the packaging, is the rare and highly therapeutic Rosa Mosqueta Oil. Rosa mosqueta is a rosehip seed oil that has been a beauty secret of Chilean women for centuries with regeneration of skin cells being one of the many benefits of this ingredient. Rosa mosqueta has a dramatic effect on wrinkles, stretch marks and scar tissue, leaving skin smooth, firm and radiant.

Results: I have been using the Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina hourglass lifting and firming body lotion twice a day for a month now and can see a definite improvement in my normally dry skin. The stubborn dry patches on my leg have completely disappeared and are much smoother and whilst I don’t have many stretch marks, the few I have are starting to fade.

Pros: 100% natural, Improves the look of wrinkles, stretch marks and scar tissue, Absorbs into your skin easily, Pump dispenser is easy to use and it is easy to dispense the amount you need

Cons: £27.95 for 200ml is quite expensive for a body lotion.

Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Hand & Nail Cream Reviews

Review of Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Hand & Nail Cream

By Sue B.

Packaging: Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Hand & Nail Cream comes in a compact, 50 ml, handbag size plastic tube. The black text on a white background makes it easy to read. The back of the tube has symbols and text that clearly state that there are no chemical nasties, it is cruelty free and suitable for vegans so, at a glance, important information is boldly available. Should you want to find out more about this and/or other Barefoot Botanicals products the website, mailing address and telephone number are all present.

Application: The rich, yet not too thick, cream is absorbed quickly but does leave a slightly greasy film which I’ve also found with other hand creams from this range. It isn’t something that I like the feel of, so I generally apply my hand cream at night, then put on a pair of cotton gloves to help the cream get absorbed with the heat of my hands. I found the fresh aroma calming and relaxing, especially when applied at night. Then, on waking, your hands are luxuriously soft and moisturised ready for the day ahead. If your hands are beginning to show signs of aging, give this a try.

Ingredients: Not all the ingredients are listed on the tube, so I went to the website to find out more. The Rosa mosqueta oil is pressed from the seeds of a wild Chilean rose and is reputed to dramatically reduce wrinkles, stretch marks and scar tissue. Persian rose, frankincense and sandalwood are some of the ingredients that give Barefoot Botanicals Rosa Fina Anti-ageing Hand & Nail Cream a fresh almost clinical smell. With ingredients to help prevent age spots and soften rough cuticles, this sounds like a product for total care of your hands.

Although not organic, the ingredients are 100% ethically-sourced.

Pros:

Lots of information on the tube with easy to read text.

100% natural products.

Softens and strengthens the cuticles, nourishes, hydrates, smoothes and soothes the skin.

In my opinion, this is a great winter hand cream, certainly up to the job.

Cons:

Slightly greasy after application.

No indication on the tube of its use by life.

At £17.95 for 50ml it’s not the cheapest hand cream on the market but, in my opinion, it’s worth paying more for a product that totally cares for your hands, especially in the winter months.

Barefoot Botanicals SOS Face & Body Cream Reviews

Barefoot Botanicals SOS Rescue Me Face & Body Cream
By Anisa B.

Packaging: Barefoot Botanicals SOS Rescue Me Face & Body Cream comes in a 50ml and 100ml size. Both come in a white plastic tube. I find this form of packaging is most hygienic when dispensing moisturisers.

Application: The texture of this cream is thick and is cream in colour. It feels nice and creamy, very moisturising without being greasy or oily. Instantly I can smell a gorgeous aroma, mainly the orange blossom, it isn’t overpowering – just very pleasant.
.
Ingredients: All the ingredients in all Barefoot Botanicals products are all natural and are nourishing for the skin especially those skin types with skin conditions.

I have eczema so I was looking forward to trying this. It definitely feels calming and soothing to flared up angry skin but for a day to day moisturiser, I don’t feel this is moisturising enough for my facial skin. For my body, I do like the feel of this, it really does keep that dry flakey skin away. Also, I have been using it on my toddler’s skin, and it works really well for her, gentle and keeps her skin from getting dry. I really like Barefoot Botanicals SOS Rescue Me Face & Body Cream and think it is lovely to use for anyone that is looking for something gentle and calming, it also works for the little ones.

The pros of this cream are:
Smells very pleasant
You get a good amount for the price
Good ingredients
Hygienic packaging that is portable too
Works for little ones too
Calming and soothing
The cons are:
Not moisturising enough for facial skin
