[ Review ] 100% Pure Cocoa Butter Moisture Mask

 

Product Description

100% Pure Cocoa Butter Moisture Mask is a decadent, intensely nourishing facial mask made with nutrient-dense cacao, designed to enhance youthful elasticity and deeply moisturize.

100% Pure is one of my favourite brands although not every product works for me so I was excited to chance upon 100% Pure Cocoa Butter Moisture Mask on Naturisimo.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

100% Pure Cocoa Butter Moisture Mask is housed in a 50ml tube but the tube is stiff and you need some effort to squeeze out the cocoa butter mask. There was a hint of delicious cocoa scent. 

How To Use :

Apply generously onto clean, wet skin – avoid the eye area. 

Leave on for 15-30 minutes before rinsing away with warm water. 

Note: can be mixed with warm water to create a creamier consistency.

[ Review ] As I Am Pomegranate & Passion Fruit Strengthening Shampoo

 

Product Description

As I Am Long & Luxe Strengthening Shampoo is a special blend that works to promote healthier hair and scalp. Pamper your naturally curly or kinky hair with As I Am’s Long and Luxe Straightening Shampoo. Harnessing the properties of pomegranate, passion fruit and biologically certified aloe vera, the lightweight formula gently cleanses the hair and scalp, while promoting stronger, longer locks to leave strands strengthened from root to tip. Helps minimize tangles and comb out damaged hair for easier styling.

Benefits :

- Removes flakes and product Build-up, while also detangling.

- Moisturizes and cleanses hair and scalp.

- Strengthens hair for longer hair lengths.

- A special blend that works to promote healthier hair and scalp.

Made in USA, As I Am contains science backed formulas designed specifically for tightly coiled and curly hair; each with an impressive ingredient listing that includes many of nature's finest organic ingredients.

I came across this brand on Iherb ( Use OKI787 for 5% off your order ) while on the search for strengthening hair products where the reviews seem promising. My current favourite regular shampoos are Shea Moisture Moringa & Avocado Power Greens Shampoo and Innersense Hydrating Cream Hairbath but I needed something to target hair loss. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

As I Am Pomegranate & Passion Fruit Strengthening Shampoo has a sweet fruity pomegranate and passionfruit scent. It comes in a 355ml bottle with a flick top cap

Performance and Ingredients

While I really like the fruit zesty scent, foams slightly and how well it cleanses my hair, however there was hair fall which was heartbreaking as I could not afford to lose more hair than I already do. It was drying, left my hair straw-like during rinsing and tangled my hair after air-dried.

On Iherb, there was no indication that the shampoo was made for tightly coiled and curly hair which made me purchase it, but on the Our Story website, it seemed to imply that their products are specially formulated for tightly coiled and curly hair so you might have better luck if your hair falls into that category. 

The key ingredients are....

Pomegranate : Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals which nourish the scalp and strengthen hair.

Passion Fruit : High in vitamin C, which aids in collagen production essential for maintaining hair strength and elasticity.

Aloe Vera : Has natural moisturizing properties, which help to nourish the scalp and promote healthy hair.

Aqua/water/eau, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, Disodium cocoamphodipropionate, Trideceth-7 carboxylic acid, Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, Cocamide mipa, Polysorbate 20, Punica granatum fruit juice, Glycerin, Passiflora edulis fruit juice, Hydrolyzed lupine protein, Serenoa serrulata fruit extract, Linum usitatissimum (linseed) seed extract, Melia azadirachta leaf extract, Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract, Betaine, Royal jelly, Niacinamide, Phytosterols, Caffeine, Biotin, Trifolium pratense (clover) flower extract, Equisetum hiemale extract, Urtica dioica (nettle) extract, Cola acuminata seed extract, Piroctone olamine, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Maltodextrin, Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaternium-10, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl glycol, Citric acid, Fragrance/parfum, Beta vulgaris (beet) root extract, Sodium benzoate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Tetrasodium edta, Ceteareth-60 myristyl glycol, Polyacrylamide, Benzyl benzoate, Limonene, Linalool, Red 33/ci 17200

Conclusion

To conclude, As I Am Pomegranate & Passion Fruit Strengthening Shampoo was a major disappointment. My hair was straw-like during rinsing and tangled after air-dried and along the way, there was hair fall. Not a repurcahse!

[ Review ] Dr. Althea Green Relief Amino Gel Cleanser

 

Product Description

Dr. Althea Green Relief Amino Gel Cleanser is specially designed to reduce frictional irritation and easily produce foam, setting it apart from cream-type cleansers by avoiding excessive surfactants and clumping. It is a favorite among those with oily or combination skin, acne-prone individuals, and those in need of a quick lather due to its refreshing and effective oil-removing properties. The cleanser utilizes smaller bubbles for deep pore cleansing, boasting a mildly acidic pH of 5.0-6.0 that helps maintain the skin's natural barrier and offers gentle exfoliation without causing irritation. Enriched with Hyaluronic acid, Betula platyphylla japonica juice, and betaine, it ensures a long-lasting moisturizing sensation. Additionally, it features coconut-based and amino acid surfactants for thorough yet gentle cleaning, making it suitable for sensitive skin, and is proudly vegan and clinically proven for effectiveness on sensitive skin.

I have been enjoying Dr. Althea products of late, thanks to a Stylekorean campaign. This cleanser is the last product after emptying Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream, Dr. Althea Vitamin C Boosting Serum and Dr. Althea Pure Grinding Cleansing Balm last year.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Dr. Althea Green Relief Amino Gel Cleanser is a 100ml tube product with a gel texture and I did not detect any fragrance. Unfortunately, it is very drying on hands and face and cause a mild irritation on my cheeks.
