Hyaluronic Acid Serum with Vitamin C and Green Tea -
1 fl oz./$14.99

I tend to break out on my nose and chin.  I have used this product all over my face and neck and it has not upset my sensitive skin at all.  I typically use this product before bed but that's just my preference.  This product is versatile in that it can be either used day or night. 

Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body.  It has many uses including for healing wounds, burns and as a moisturizer.  It has also been known for its benefit in preventing the signs of aging.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, powerful antioxidant, and can help reverse sun damage, and help improve the appearance of skin.

Green Tea is also a power antioxidant, it is used to treat acne and to detoxify the skin.

This product has made a difference in the frequency of my breakouts, the redness of my chin and nose, and it has brightened and cleared my skin tone.

Eye Cream -
1 fl. oz/$19.99

It goes on easy and feels light and cool.  I especially like that I can apply makeup over this product.
As I mentioned before, I have sensitive skin plus the area under the eye tends to be even more sensitive.  With that being said, this product is gentle and does not irritate my skin.  I know with my busy schedule I tend not to get enough sleep at night.  I feel like this definitely shows in the area around and under my eyes.  That area especially has a dark, tired look.  After using this product for just a short time, it has refreshed the under eye area and made it look healthier. 

This product does not have any parabens, sulfates, or phthalates.  It has some amazing all natural ingredients such as peptides, retinol, hyaluronic acid, cucumber, rosehip oil, MSM, and aloe.  Ok, so what is the big deal?  Let me tell you!  Here is a brief description of the above ingredients and what they are used for. 

• Peptides are the building blocks of proteins in the skin.  "Many peptides function as moisture-binding agents and almost all of them have theoretical cell-communicating ability to help skin repair itself." 
• Retinol is an antioxidant, and is effective in managing acne and eczema, skin discolorations, and wrinkles due to sun damage.
• Cucumber has many skin benefits including fading dark circles, reducing puffy eyes, and improving complexion.
• Rosehip oil is known to moisturize skin, and prevent skin damage.
• MSM is an anti inflammatory, helps to build collagen and is used to detoxify.
• Aloe is an anti inflammatory used to soothe and treat skin problems, and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.

I love this product and all is has to offer!  Thank you Body Merry!

Retinol Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and Green Tea -
1 fl oz./$29.99

I apply this serum after my morning shower and then follow with a moisturizer.  Though it is a gel like consistency it is not sticky at all, which makes it great for everyday use.  It absorbs quickly so I can apply make up over the top of this product with no problems. 

I like the dropper, as I have said before it makes it very easy to apply as much or as little as necessary.  It doesn't take much to cover and feels soft and smooth on.  I like that the scent is light and doesn't last long. 

Retinol which is another name for Vitamin A, is an anti oxidant known for its anti aging properties, managing acne and eczema, skin discolorations, and wrinkles due to sun damage.

The only issue I have had with this product is that it is slightly irritating at first.  I have used it every other day according to the directions however my skin is still somewhat red irritated after using it.  I will continue to use this product in the hopes that my skin will adjust.

This product does not contain any harsh chemicals such as Parabens, Sulphates or Phthalates. It has no fragrances or alcohol and is cruelty free.

Just Natural

Anti-Humidity Pomade -
16 oz./$28.99

Image from justnatural.com

I live in Washington state and have long curly hair.  To say the least, not the best environment for natural curly hair.  I am always on the look out for a new curly hair product to tame my curls, and treat fly always.  I am a fan of hair cream, because gel tends to just leave my hair sticky and mousse is generally not strong enough of a hold.

When I think of pomade I think of a very thick cream like consistency that leaves your hair stiff and greasy.  This pomade is not like that.  It is thick but it holds without being sticky.  If you only use a little bit, it doesn't leave your hair greasy either.  It does not weigh down my hair, instead it leaves it soft and frizz free. 

Ingredients include macadamia nut oil, sweet almond oil, mango butter, aloe vera, shea butter, avocado oil, illipe butter, and phenethyl alcohol.  These ingredients "are loaded with vitamins, omega essential fatty acids and anti-oxidants that restore hair with a moisture barrier against humidity and protect hair from unwanted frizz."

I have used this product both on damp hair following a shower and on dry hair during the day.  I love that it works great either way.

Frizz-Hair Treatment -
4 oz./$39.99



Image from justnatural.com

I was excited to see that this product came with a spray top.  I think being able to spray this product on make for easy application and keeps my hands from getting oily.  With that being said, unfortunately the spray applicator didn't work.  First, it sprayed straight out instead of more like a spray.  Second, it only worked for one application and now the spray top doesn't work at all. 

I can live without the spray top.  It would be nice but the product is really what is important.  The product is amazing!  It is an oil that smells fabulous.  It works very well and really transforms my hair from dry and frizzy to soft manageable and fly away free. 

So far I have only used this product as a leave in conditioner however on the Just Naturals website it suggests using this product as deep serum treatment.  I will definitely try that approach also. 

Ingredients include kukui nut oil, camellia seed oil, pomegranate seed oil, avocado oil, and papaya leaf extract.  These ingredients help hydrate and smooth hair, restore moisture, and protect hair.   
These products are both alcohol free, cruelty free, paraben free, sulfate free, chemical free, gluten free, vegan and contain no GMO's.  I love these products and can't wait to see what other wonderful products Just Natural has to offer.

Packing Organizer -

I received Dot to Dot packing organizers.  I have to say that I'm not sure what I have used these organizers for it what they were meant for, however they work great!  This couldn't have come at a better time as we were in full home organization makeover mode when I got these. 


Image from amazon.com

I grabbed the first one and quickly filled it with sheets and pillowcases.  I was surprised that an entire King size sheet set and four pillowcases fit inside easily.  I love the mesh panel so not only does it breathe but you can see what is in them.  These are perfect for storing in the closet or under the bed.

With that being said, these organizers are actually for traveling.  I can definitely see myself using these while traveling.  Packing and getting the most out of a suitcase would be easier with these packing organizers.  Also separating clothes and outfits would be simple and efficient. 

These packing organizers are light but sturdy.  The material is durable and the zipper makes for easy and quick access.  I love these packing organizers and will be looking to buy in other sizes also.

Yalmeh

Glory Eye Bright Gel -



Image from amazon.com

I love the bright blue packaging.  This product is a thick gel that goes on smooth.  I applied a small amount to the sensitive area around my eyes.  I love that it absorbs easily and has a slight cooling effect.  It is thick and heavy feeling on and leaves my skin very sticky.  I have been using this product at night because it is too sticky to apply make up over the top.  I love the way my skin feels in the morning though.  I definitely have noticed a change in my dark tired looking under eye area.  It has brightened and calmed the area around my eyes with just a few applications. 
I love this product.  I don't have many fine lines and wrinkles yet but there are many other benefits to this product.  I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an affordable all around anti aging product with exceptional results!



Yalmeh Glory Eye Bright Gel has some amazing ingredients including Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, Plant Stem Cells, Matrixyl 3000, Vitamin E and organic Aloe.  This product contains no "mineral oil, sulfates or alcohol ,propylene glycol or parabens."  It is vegan, gluten and cruelty free.  Yalmeh also offers a 90-day money back guarantee! It doesn't get any better than that!

Adovia

Anti Wrinkle Facial Moisturizer Cream - 

 

Image from amazon.com

I have to say that I am not a huge fan of the smell of this product.  Luckily, for me the moisturizer cream soaks in quickly and the smell doesn't linger. 

When I first applied this product to my face and neck it really felt thick and heavy.  I may have used a little too much at first.  However, after it soaked it the heaviness wasn't there at all.  It lightened up on my skin and felt great!
It has toned my skin and made a noticeable difference in the texture of my skin.  Since I am 33, I don't believe I have any noticeable wrinkles however this product not only improves wrinkles it is said to help protect skin from the formation of new wrinkles!  Pretty impressive!
I did notice that if I applied makeup over this moisturizer that it tingles a burns a little.  It might just be my sensitive skin but I will be using this product only at night. 
This anti wrinkle facial moisturizer cream has Vitamin C, Dead Sea Salt and Minerals, Lactic Acid, and Collagen.  Who wouldn't want a product with those ingredients?  I also like that this product comes in a 50 ml. sized tub, it will really last me a long time.  I recommend trying this product! You will not be disappointed.

Old Factory

I was so excited to receive the old factory candle set in Fresh and Clean.  This set came with 3 candles:  Lemongrass, Olive Branch, and Fresh Linen.  Each candle is 2 oz.  I love the box the set comes in, and the jars themselves are cute and labeled with a kind of old fashion look.

Lemongrass - Smells heavenly without being too strong.  It is very relaxing and said to help relieve stress.

Olive Branch - A wonderful citrus smell that is warm and comforting. 

Fresh Linen -  A crisp and refreshing smell that reminds me of a summer day with laundry hanging out to dry. 

 

These candles are natural and made with soy wax, cotton paper wicks and pure fragrance oils.  Soy wax is known for its ability to burn slower and cleaner than paraffin.  Even with that being said, I am still impressed that these small candles are guaranteed to burn for 20 hours.  That is a long time for such a small size of candle.  Not only do they burn slowly but they burn even and clean.  There is no smoke even when it is time to blow them out.  The smell really fills my house easily.  I think this is because they burn so clean the fragrance is more noticeable. 

This candle set also comes in 11 other scent themes: Fall Harvest, Happy Holidays, Winter Wonderland, Romance, Spa Day, Vacation, Coffee Shop, Man Cave, High As A Kite, New Born Baby, and 50 Shades. 

I love these candles and I can't wait to try other sets!  I also will be ordering some as gifts, which by the way they gift wrap for you!!  If you are interested in trying these wonderful candles go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NR8LBIM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sano Naturals

Vitamin C Serum -


Image from sanonaturals.com

Again, I like the dropper.  It is easy to use and apply as much or little as you want.  The first time I used this product, I applied about 4 drops in the palm on my hand and then applied it to my face and neck.  I noticed right away that it was light and odorless.  It really didn't feel like I had even put anything on my face.  After it dried however my face felt a little tight.  The 4 drops was more than enough to cover my face and neck and I decided to use a little less the next time. 

I like that it is versatile and can be used either alone or with a moisturizer. It is light and absorbs quickly.  However, I was not a fan of how my face felt when I applied foundation on top of this serum.  It's probably just me but my face felt a little sticky.  For that reason, I will most likely only use this product before bed. 

Sano Naturals Vitamin C serum uses an "organic herbal infusion and hyaluronic acid organic aloe."  This product does not contain alcohol, or any added fragrance. 

I have been using this product daily for about a month now and I can see a noticeable difference in my dark circles.  It also has seemed to brighten and even out my skin tone. 

Vitamin C Cream Eye Gel -

Image from amazon.com

I have to say I'm not a fan of the slight cucumber smell.  The smell isn't overwhelming and seems to dissipate after it dries which is nice.  With that being said, I love the product itself!  It feels smooth and silky on.  The eye gel has a slight cooling or tingling feeling when applied to the eye area.  It has
brighten and even calmed the area around my eyes.  I also have used this product on my forehead area and I feel it has helped to smooth and hydrate that area as well. 
I love this product!  I am excited to see the benefits with prolonged use of this eye gel. 

Thank you Sano Naturals for these wonderful products!  If you want to try these products go to http://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Hyaluronic-Oxidation-Collagen-Boosting/dp/B00HOHLKY2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Firework Cosmetics

Handcrafted Mineral Eyeshadow -
2 oz./$8.00

I love this eyeshadow! I have never used an eyeshadow that is so soft and silky.  It is easy to apply, goes on smooth and looks gorgeous on.  I love that this eyeshadow really last a long time, even by the end of the day I could still tell it was on. 
If your anything like me, your always on the look out for an eyeshadow color that is different from the rest.  I have found that with Firework cosmetics.  They offer over 70 amazing and unique colors of mineral eyeshadows.  That's impressive!  I wanted to try every color, however I had to choose a few.  The colors I choose were Enchated, Cinnamon, Copper Sparkle, Emerald, Icy Wisteria and Smokey Topaz. 

The colors in the sample packages are pretty but you really have to apply the shadow to understand just how vibrant they are.  Here are some swatches of the eyeshadows I received.

Raven Hill Botanicals

Rejuvenate Essential Hand and Body Lotion -

2 oz./$7.00

Image from ravenhillbotanicals.com

First off, I love the smell.  It makes me happy!  Secondly, if you are anything like me, you have used a lot of different hand lotions.  The difference with this lotion is that it isn't greasy at all and it absorbs easily.  Have you ever put lotion on your hands and then had a hard time trying to open something because the lotion is still greasy?  This lotion is not like that, it absorbs quickly yet it leaves hands soft and silky.  
This lotion has some amazing ingredients including hemp, jojoba, sweet almond, argan, coconut, and avocado oils and shea butter. 
The effects and the smell both last a long time.  I did reapply after washing my hands but I didn't mind using more.  I recommend this product and will be looking to try other hand and body products from Raven Hill Botanicals!

Euphoria Exquisite Body Butter -

2 oz./$9.00

Image from ravenhillbotanicals.com

This body butter smelled a bit too musky to me at first.  However, after putting it on my skin the smell changed slightly to more of a sweet smell.  I can have a sensitivity to certain smells but once this body butter is absorbed it doesn't smell too strong.  I love that it is thick, creamy and truly exquisite.  It is a wonderful treat for my skin. 
My trouble spots such as the area right around my ankles just soaked this body butter right up.  My skin was left smooth and deeply moisturized.  This product is definitely worth a try!





Peppermint Lip Balm -
.15 oz./$3.00

Image from ravenhillbotanicals.com

There are two things I especially love this time of year, lippies and peppermint!  The packaging is simple and cute.  I couldn't wait to try this lip balm! 
The peppermint smells great, just like I had hoped for.  This lip balm goes on smooth and lasts longer than I thought it would.  Even after eating I could still feel the soothing effect from this lip balm.  It, unlike lip gloss, really makes a difference on my dry chapped lips.  I love gloss for the color and the shine but this product is far above a simple gloss.  It provides protection from the elements and actually heals lips.  It is gentle and natural.  My son has a hard time with chapped lips especially during this time of year.  He was using Blistex which works but seems too harsh to me.  I let him try this lip balm and it worked just as well and doesn't have that sting to it like Blistex does.  I can't say enough about this peppermint lip balm! 

Herbal Healing Salve -
1 oz./$6.00

Image from ravenhillbotanicals.com

This salve is truly an all around amazing product.  It can be used for a variety of things from a hand salve to insect bites.  I am so in love with this product!  As a mother of 4, there is always something a need to have a salve like this on hand.  I have used it regularly for my hands and cuticles which are to say the least always dry and cracked.  I also adore this product because it is gentle, and effective on my daughters slight eczema spots.  It has been soothing and has provided healing moisture without being harsh.  I love knowing that this product, unlike other over the counter creams for eczema, will not leave a discoloration of the skin. 
I will be buying at least one more so I can have one with me on the go and one at home.  I definitely recommend this product, especially to anyone with kids. Thank you Raven Hill Botanicals!

Aloe Herb Facial Cleanser -
50 ml./$24.95

The scent is nice and not too strong which I love.  This product is Gluten free and vegan.  This cleanser is also pH balanced.  I didn't understand what the big deal was about having a pH balanced cleanser until now.  Here is the basics in case you don't know already.  Basically if a cleanser is to alkaline it will strip essential oils off your skin, and if a cleanser isn't alkaline enough it really won't get your skin clean.  With that being said most cleansers, to my surprise, are in fact pH balanced.  Interesting and something to keep in mind!
 Many cleansers I have tried are either too harsh or don't help to remove make up.  This cleanser is gentle yet strong enough to remove dirt, oil, dead skin and even makeup.  It washes off easily and really leaves skin fresh, clean and hydrated.  I also really like that you don't have to use very much to get a good clean result.  The longer it lasts the better, right?
Overall, I was impressed with this cleanser and it is definitely worth a try!

Dead Sea Facial Scrub -
50 ml./$39.95

I love this product!  To me, it smells slightly like lavender which is soothing.  I used this scrub in the shower as a gentle way to exfoliate.  It works great and again isn't too harsh.  It feels like it really gave my skin a deep clean leaving behind soft and supple skin.  I have never tried a dead sea product before now.  After seeing the many benefits first hand, I can understand why products containing dead sea minerals are sought after by so many. 
I don't think this is a product I will use everyday.  I will likely use it a couple times a week as a special treat for my face!

Repair Serum -
15 ml./$54.95

This serum is high in Vitamin C and has essential oils of lavender and sandlewood.  It also has stem cells derived from oranges, and Superoxide dismutase which is an antioxidant.  Vitamin C and Superoxide dismutase have been used in skin care products as antioxidants that slow free-radical damage. 
This definitely is a favorite product of mine.  Due to having sensitive skin, I have used this product mainly on my dark spots.  It makes my skin soft and has made a slight difference in my sun spots already.  I'm excited to see the difference in my skin with continued and prolonged use of this product. 

Herbal Facial Oil -
15 ml./$37.95

This product has great all natural ingredients, is Gluten-free and vegan! It absorbs easily which makes it a versatile moisturizer that can be used both day and night.  It is great for people with sensitive skin. 
It has a floral scent but is not overwhelming.  I have used this product nearly everyday since opening it.  It is light, not greasy and best of all has made the red area on my chin not so noticeable.  A little goes a long ways which again is great!

Ayurvedic Facial Scrub -
50 ml./$29.95

I was surprised to open this and see that it was a powder.  It becomes a paste when you mix it with water.  It honestly smells like I'm in the kitchen and not in the shower.  That is not a bad thing but it was a surprise to me.  It is definitely different that any other scrub I have ever tried on my face. 
Now what is ayurvedic?  I didn't know the answer to that question, so I did some research.  Ayur means life and veda means knowledge.  This principle came from India originally and is the belief "that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body and spirit."  Me personally, I love that idea!
This facial scrub is gentle but it works great!  It applies easily and washes clean.  Best of all, it really soothes my trouble areas and leaves my skin looking great!

Neroli Toning Mist -
50 ml./$27.95

I like the smell, it is slightly floral but yet clean.  I love the mist, it is light and easy to apply.  "Neroli has been used as a mood enhancer to calm the soul and as an aphrodisiac."  It soothes and lifts your spirits.
My skin feels nourished.  I didn't use a toner much prior to receiving this product and now I know what I was missing.  I feel the use of this toner has made my skin look smooth and less red on my nose and chin.

Coconut Body Oil -
100 ml./$29.95

I have always been a huge fan of anything coconut so I absolutely couldn't wait to try this product.  The smells is great and it lasts all day.  I love that it absorbs well which again makes it versatile for day or night.  This product is great to use as a daily moisturizer.  It helps relieve dry flaky winter skin and also helps to protect from further damage. 
I have not used this product for anything other than a moisturizer but I love the thought of using it as a massage oil.  I think it would instill a sense of calm and double as a nourishing massage oil. 
If you love coconut products as much as I do, I definitely recommend this product!

Purifying Mud Mask -
50 ml./$39.95

I don't use masks very often.  When I think of a mask, I think of a thick heavy paste that dries crusty and is hard to remove.  Reluctantly I went ahead and tried this mask anyways.  I was surprised that it isn't heavy like I imagined.  It smells good which is a nice change.  I like that it comes in a powder and you mix it with water to apply.  I could feel it tighten as it dried on my skin but it wasn't as hard to remove as I remember other masks being.  Once I washed this mask off, my skin felt dry like it had stripped my skin of dirt and dead skin.  I will not use this product all the time because it does make my sensitive skin very dry.  I will instead use this product occasionally to remove impurities.

I am so impressed with the products I received from Annmarie Gianni!   Go to http://www.annmariegianni.com/ to check out all the wonderful products available.  The website and customer service is excellent and offers some helpful tips and tricks to using each product.  Thank you Annmarie Gianni!

Vino Aria Wine Aerator

Vino Aria Aerator
$19.77

This wine aerator is nice.  I have never used an aerator before but after trying this product I will always use this product now.  I love the classy packaging.  This product is made well and fit the bottle I had very well.  There is a rubber stopper which I think helps it fit snug and keeps it from leaking.  I used this product on a bottle of Barefoot Mascato.  This wine is not expensive and I can say I definitely noticed a difference in the taste and smoothness of the wine.  It is easy to use, just pop it in and pour away.  I also love that it is easy to clean and store.  I am very happy with this product.  I will be buying another for a gift.

JoMaMi's Creations

Almond Sugar Scrub - 
8 oz./$13.00

This sugar scrub smells great.  If you like almond products, you will love this sugar scrub.  When I opened the tub, I was surprised to see how thick and creamy this sugar scrub is.  As weird as it may sound, I used this product just on one leg the first time.  I really just wanted to test it out and see what the difference was.  I am happy to say I used this almond sugar scrub to exfoliate my leg.  It rinses of easily and left my skin feeling very soft.  I could easily tell a difference in the texture of my skin.  The leg I used this product on was silky and felt moisturized.  I am very happy with this product.  The results last a long time also.  I even went swimming with my daughter that same night and even after swimming and showering again I could still feel a difference between the leg I used this sugar scrub on that the one I did not.  Pretty impressive!

Handcrafted Almond Body Cream -
8 oz./$16.00

I love this body cream.  Again, it smells great and the scent lasts a long time.  I also really like that this product is good for sensitive skin, gentle enough for me to use on my daughter!  The best thing is the moisture this product provides my skin.  It contains both almond and jojoba oils which really keep your skin feeling soft and smooth all day.  This almond body cream will be perfect for when the weather gets cold.  I would love to try one of their other scents also, lemongrass or mango. 

Both of these products from JoMaMi's Creations are Paraben free, mineral oil free, and cruelty free.

Morea Naturals

Image from amazon.com

Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum with Vitamin C and Green Tea
1.7 oz./$14.99

My first thought when I got this product was that it sounds very harsh, it sounds like it would burn my skin.  So, what is hyaluronic acid?  I asked myself the same question so I decided to do a little research.  I was surprised to find that hyaluronic acid is actually "a naturally occurring carbohydrate in the human body."  It is found in large amounts in between skin cells, and in the fluids in the eyes and joints.  As your body ages, it produces less hyaluronic acid.  Using a serum that contains hyaluronic acid is one of the ways to restore a youthful look and feel to your skin.

Now that I found out what this product is, it was time to try it out.  This product comes in a airless pump which makes for easy application.  When it comes out of the pump, it is a clear gel like substance.  It has a light and clean smell.  I applied a small amount to my face after showering and was pleasantly surprised.  This hyaluronic acid serum is not harsh at all.  It absorbs quickly and was light enough to apply foundation on top of. 

Morea Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum also contains Vitamin C and Green Tea.  Vitamin C is an antioxidant which slows the rate of free-radical damage.  Green Tea is known for having many benefits for skin including reducing skin inflammation, and protection from UV radiation exposure.

Naked Bee

I received a travel kit in Orange Blossom Honey.  This scent is their original and best selling scent and I can see why!  This scent is soft, sweet and smells heavenly.

 Lip Balm - I love the smell of this lip balm.  It feels good going on.  It is smooth and does not feel waxy.  I did have to reapply throughout the day, but I don't mind that.  This is a great lip balm for cold weather conditions because it really does hydrate and soften your lips.  This lip balm is made of "55% Certified Organic ingredients.  Made with organic olive oil and beeswax, soybean oil and honey.  SPF 15 to protect from the suns UVA/UVB rays."

Soy Beeswax Travel Candle - First off I love the tin.  Second, I love the smell!  Though this candle is little, it makes my whole house smell good.  This candle is 100% paraffin-free which is hard to find.  I really like this candle, I only wish they made a larger candle in this scent.

Moisturizing Hand and Body Lotion - This lotion smells heavenly and the smell lasts a long time compared to other scented lotions.  I love that this lotion is alcohol free, and is easy on my sensitive skin.  It is creamy really makes my skin soft and smooth.  This lotion is made from "70% Certified Organic ingredients. Certified organic aloe vera and sunflower seed oil, rich in anti-oxidants, combine with moisturizers like honey and hyaluronic acid to soften, heal and promote healthy skin."

Oatmeal Honey Triple Milled Soap - I have to say first off that I am not big on bar soap.  With the that being said, I think this soap is great.  It smells great and lathers up well.  It isn't gritty like it looks.  It leaves my skin feeling clean without any residue.  I like this soap and will be purchasing some for my guest bathroom.  This soap is made "with palm and coconut oils plus guar gum, a natural plant substance that produces a rich creamy lather. Honey adds moisture while rolled oats gently exfoliate."

Gentle Cleansing Shampoo and Conditioner - The shampoo alone works great.  A little goes a long ways which is always nice.  It cleans well and is gentle enough to use on my daughters hair also.
I have never been a huge fan of shampoo/conditioner combos.  My hair tangles very easily so this type of product never seems to work for detangling my hair.  I do have to say though that this shampoo/conditioner combo works better than others I have tried.  It leaves my hair soft and clean feeling but not as tangle free as I need.  This product is made from "70% Certified Organic ingredients. Organic Aloe Vera with moisturizers and hair conditioners like honey, spirulina, panthenol and arnica gently cleanse and nourish hair."
