Earth Mama Angel Baby Oil Reviews

Review of Earth Mama Angel Baby Oil
By Catherine J

Packaging: The Earth Mama Angel Baby Oil is in an attractive little bottle with a screw top lid

Application: The Angel Baby Oil was easy to apply; it wasn’t very greasy and glided easily onto my son’s skin. It absorbed easily and didn’t leave his skin greasy at all.

Ingredients: Earth Mama Angel Baby Oil is toxin free and vegan. It also has no nut oils which is great as so many children have nut allergies. The ingredients shown on the bottle are Vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, Simmondsia chinensis (organic jojoba) seed oil, Matricaria recutita (organic chamomile) extract, Calendula officinalis (organic calendula) extract, Tocopherol (vitamin E), Rosemarinus officinalis (rosemary) oleoresin. Many of these ingredients are also in other Earth Mama Angel Baby Products.

There are no artificial preservatives, and no artificial fragrances.

Results: It is a fantastic oil to use for baby massage, it left my hands lovely and soft and glided easily over my son’s skin. My family has a lot of skin problems like eczema and having no chemicals meant it was perfect for his skin.

Pros:

Full of natural ingredients
No nut oils
Toxin free
Fragrance free

Cons: None

Pureman 24 Hour Moisturiser Reviews

A’kin Pureman 24 Hour Moisturiser
By Anisa B

Packaging: A’kin Pureman 24 Hour Moisturiser comes in a brown 50ml pump top bottle. The cream dispenses easily and hygienically.

The moisturiser smells herbally, it’s not masculine neither is it feminine, just botanical and pleasant. The consistency is creamy and thick but not greasy or oily. It’s easy to massage on to the skin and absorbs into the skin quickly.

Ingredients: A’kin says: A'kin Pureman Moisturiser harnesses the natural benefits of hydrolysed oats, anthyllis vulneraria flower extract, olive extract, vitamin E and orange to fight back against the elements for younger looking skin. There are no ingredients in here that would cause irritation to sensitive skin, and the ingredients are all vegan/vegetarian like all A’kin Pureman Products.

Results: I gave this to my husband to try and he said that it felt moisturising without being heavy on the skin. He doesn’t like to use it everyday as he’s not used to moisturising but does use it occasionally and finds it to be a good product.

The pros of this moisturiser are:
• Pump bottle
• Unisex smelling product
• Moisturising without being greasy
•

Natural Being Manuka Hand and Body Cream Reviews

Natural Being Manuka Hand and Body Cream
By Beverly S

Packaging: Natural Being Manuka Hand and Body Cream has no frills, and comes in a fresh white plastic tube in a box (recyclable) Elegant Logo in pale bronze & almond colours. Gender friendly tube. Details can be read clearly.
100ml although very deceptive as the tube feels very light unlike my other hand/body creams.

Ingredients: Natural Being's reassuring list of ingredients are mainly derived from essential oils some of which are certified organic. Off course Manuka Honey is used to hydrate & maintain moisture (this worked for me) the Manuka oil with it's antibacterial properties enhances the creams properties with anti-fungal & anti-inflammatory attributes (this worked for the cuts in my hands during the cold weather) Wheat germ oil & Glycerin are also included with the parfam is derived from essential oils.


Most importantly Natural Being's Manuka cream has been certified by BDIH & has the Bunny logo showing the product hasn't been tested on animals like all Natural Being’s Products.

Application: Natural Being recommend this cream for hands and body but specifically they detail elbows & heels which I would tend to focus on with this cream. At first the scent seemed light although I found on application the scent of the manuka oil (antibacterial) was quite strong. It disappeared fairly quickly but my personal preference would be to use Natural Beings Manuka Hand and Body Cream to treat areas rather than a complete body cream.
It was white when applying which was good as I could see exactly where the cream was before it absorbed completely. The cream absorbs without trace apart from the scent belying the fact it is rich.

Comments: I really had different conditions to thoroughly test Manuka Hand and Body Cream. The very cold weather took revenge on my hands with dry/cracked areas. Although my normal creams feel a lot richer then one thing I noticed with the manuka was that the cuts on my hands healed up! I normally suffer in the cold weather and feel the healing properties of the manuka oil helped my hands especially the open cuts. I still felt the need for extra moisture but this may not be the case for the majority as my hands are constantly dry even with the richest of creams.

I preferred not to use it as a body cream mainly due to the scent and the fact the tube was so light I didn't know how long it would last if I used it daily.
I concentrated on my hands and then my legs as the fact Natural Being's Manuka cream ab-sorbed so easily I didn't have to wait until my legs felt non greasy to continue dressing. The cream didn't eave any trace or feel of oil.

Results: Despite my concerns about the light texture al areas I treated with the cream are i good condition even after the severe cold & a water crisis which really put my creams to the test. I admit to indulging in rich body and hand creams but have to commend Natural Being for an af-fordable cream which really does work. The cream dispensed to the last drop without loss or clogging.


Pros:

Multi tasking cream with benefits beyond a normal body cream with the extra properties from the manuka honey and oil used
Price for high quality ingredients is remarkable possible due to the no frills packaging.
Affordable for daily use with the additional protection with a minimal amount needed.

Cons:

The scent will be on a personal basis. It is slightly clinical although disappears after application. I found the natural manuka scent a little too much if I used as a complete body cream but as a treatment cream it was fine. I used the full tube in the 4 weeks test only on treatment areas al-though less could be used as it is intensive despite the light texture.

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

Review of Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream
By Sue B.

Packaging: Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream comes in a frosted blue glass jar with a silver coloured metal lid, the capacity is 30 ml. The label is black with white text so has a good contrast making it easy to read.
Application: The white cream has a smooth light texture that is absorbed quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for repeated application during the day. I don’t currently have sore or chapped hands yet feel that this cream might be too light to soothe them if I did. I think it is perfect for keeping hands moist and supple therefore useful as a preventative.

Ingredients: There was no list of ingredients on the sample pot that I received but, being familiar with Trevarno skincare products and knowing that they only use natural or organic ingredients, I was happy to use Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream before heading to the Internet for a full list. This list also includes: Lavender Flower Water, Olive Oil infused with Comfrey, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, and essential oils of Geranium, Grapefruit & Juniper. The combination of these ingredients gives it a clean, fresh smell.

Results: Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream left my hands feeling soft and nourished as well as smelling fresh and clean.

Pros:
Only natural and organic ingredients are used.
The 30ml jar is small enough to fit in your handbag however; Trevarno Olive & Almond Hand Cream is also available in 60ml jar making it a more economical purchase.
Trevarno facial and body products are produced in Cornwall – which is good for buying British.

Cons:
I feel a richer texture would be required if hands were already sore and chapped.
There is a shelf life of only four months after opening.

Trevarno Overnight Replenishing Cream Reviews

Review of Trevarno Overnight Replenishing Cream

By Catherine G.

Packaging: Trevarno Overnight Replenishing Cream is packaged in a small opaque glass pot with a screw top lid and comes in two sizes – 30 and 60ml

Application: I used this Trevarno after cleansing and toning each night and found the cream soon melts into the skin leaving it feeling soft and ready for a night of replenishing! This is a concentrated product so a little goes a long way!

Ingredients: As the name suggests “Trevarno Overnight Replenishing Cream” is a rich overnight cream designed to moisturise and condition the skin on the face and neck area. It combines a lovely blend of essential oils with one of the main ingredients being Lavender Flower Oil which gives the cream a lovely calming scent but is also renowned for being beneficial to the skin. Lavender has always been known for its healing powers and is even used to treat some skin disorders. This is an organic cream which also contains Frankincense oil and Grapefruit seed extract – 2 more ingredients known for their anti-aging properties.

Other ingredients include: Sesame with Carrot Oil, Jojoba Oil, Wheatgerm Oil, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, Rosewood and Cedarwood.

Results: When I received the Trevarno night cream in the post a few weeks ago I was very excited to try it, not only because it’s a local West Country Product but also due to the amazing list of organic ingredients it includes!

Having used some other Trevarno products before I know they are truly organic, never tested on animals and safe for sensitive skin too. In the morning my skin felt smooth and clear – I have combination skin but think this product would suit all skin types from normal to dry.

Pros:

Lovely lavender aroma

Rich moisturiser which leaves the skin feeling soft and supple – a little goes a long way!

Suitable for all skin types

Cons:

None – it’s a great product and very well priced too!!
