Shea Moisture Organic African Black Soap







The floral scented body bar soap is packed with organic Shea Butter, Oats, tamarind extract, tar, Vitamin E, Plantain Extract, Palm Ash, Rosemary Extract, and Aloe. The moisturizing soap cleans, moisturizes and protects against irritated skin while absorbing excess oil. It also helps relieves symptoms of eczema and psoriasis while keeping skin clear of blemishes. The soap lathers well and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. The plantain extract provided a gentle exfoliation and left my skin soft and smooth. The only thing I don’t like is that the bar doesn’t last very long.

Eminence Organic Skin Care Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant







The  rice based exfoliant is safe for all skin types and can be used daily. The exfoliant is packed with good for you ingredients such as strawberry extracts, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid, vitamins, lactic acid, rice, chickpea flour, thermal mud, oats, Coenzyme Q10, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. The scrub promises to exfoliates and removes impurities to brighten skin and shrink pores. The powder scrub is very easy to use. I like how you can make the scrub dry or more liquidy by adding water. I usually like my scrubs a bit drier although, I do have sensitive skin and does make my skin a bit raw but I feel like I get a more thorough clean. My skin does feel a bit tight after using the scrub but when I followed up with lotion my skin felt soft, smooth and dewy.

Naturopathica Oat Facial Polish

The creamy facial polish is packed with soothing oats, jojoba beads, and oat beta glucan. The polish promises to exfoliate, soften, moisturize and improve the appearance of skin. The polish had an odd scent, I couldn’t put my finger on it. It wasn’t pleasant or stinky either, I was just quite impartial to it. The polish didn’t rub even mostly because of the oats and the beads. It wasn’t a big deal but I tend to like an even application and not having clumps in random places, especially in the nooks of my nose and hair. The facial polish did wash off cleanly but it left my face feeling a bit tight. I followed up with lotion and it left my face feeling soft. Overall, the facial polish didn’t impress me much especially for $20 for 2oz.
