The Luscious Natural Hair Oil From House of Balm.


Relieve dry and brittle hair when applying the Luscious Natural Hair Oil from House of Balm. The natural, multitasking oil can be used as a silicone-free hydrating treatment for thirsty hair in need of moisture, while also helping to remedy a dry scalp and to tame frizz and flyaways. The House of Balm brand focus on presenting products that are cruelty-free, non-toxic, being affordable and only containing ingredients that are known to work. Beautifully presented in eye-appealing packaging all the products are simple, natural, and sustainable that will keep you coming back to this exciting brand. Disclaimer: The product was received free as part of a blogger program, this does not change my honest opinion written in my reviews. All links in black are not affiliated, they are used for you to find the product quicker.
The House of Balm luscious natural hair oil is presented in an informative outer packaging that is a white box, while inside the oil is presented in a glass bottle with a dropper tool for easy applications. The colour of the oil is yellow but doesn't change the colour of your hair, while a natural light citrus scent can be enjoyed on application. The formulation of the oil only contains ingredients that will make an improvement, rather than just using filler ingredients that do nothing but make the ingredients list look longer. The hair oil contains the following:

Organic macula (Sclerocarya Birrea Seed) oil - Marula Oil has a rich content of fatty acids and minerals that can help protect against UV damage, while also helping to keep the scalp healthy by its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Organic water dispersible apricot oil (Prunus Armeniaca) - High in a vitamin varied content it provides moisture for thirsty hair, while also providing a natural sheen for healthier looking hair.

Polysorbate 20 - Surfactant, emulsifier, and fragrance ingredient

Organic water dispersible Jojoba oil (Simmondsia Chinensis) - Moisturises the scalp and hair to prevent dryness, split ends, and breakage.  

Ecosilk (Isoamyl Laurate, Isoamyl Cocoate) - A vegetable-based emollient that detangles hair, while aiding a natural sheen to any hair type. 

Organic castor (Ricinus Communis) oil - Rich in ricinoleic acid and omega-6 fatty acids, the oil can help with scalp problems and can improve circulation which is thought to stimulate hair growth. 

Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Oil - Helps to stimulate blood circulation of the scalp because of the ursolic acid it contains, while also unclogging any blocked hair follicles to promote healthy hair growth. 

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate.) - Offering antioxidant support to protect the hair from environmental aggressors, while also helping to maintain a healthier scalp.  

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - Antioxidant that helps protect the hair from any free radicals that can damage the hair resulting in dry, brittle, and weak hair. 

Pinus Sylvestris (Scotch Pine) Oil - Rich in proteins and vitamin E, it promotes a healthier scalp which in-turn means supported hair growth. 

Citrus Sinensis (Sweet Orange) Oil - Strengthening the roots, it also is an excellent moisturiser for dry and weak hair. 
Dispensing a few drops into the palms of your hands and then warming the oil a little before application, you can then apply to dry or damp hair, before or after styling. The non-greasy oil absorbs excellent into the hair to restore moisture with a lovely softness felt and an increased beautiful shine. I would suggest to section the hair on application if you wanted to perform an overnight scalp treatment to ensure an even coverage of the product, before washing out the next morning. The non-silicone formula doesn't weigh the hair down and because it is not coating the hair for an artificial effect, the hair is benefiting with each application and washes out easily with no product-buildup. Treat your hair to the travel-friendly natural hair oil to feel and see the results for yourself, X Neil.

Quench the skins thirst for immediate moisture when applying the Kathleen Natural Rebalancing & Soothing Tonifying Mist, anytime of the day or night. The alcohol-free formulation is suitable for all skin types and is especially essential for those who suffer with redness, the skin is reactive to changes, and inflammatory skin conditions such as acne. The Kathleen Natural brand is conscious of your skins health which is why they only use formulations containing precious plants, marine extracts, and essential oils to produce high-performance natural and organic products. Incorporating a toner into your skincare routine is ideal if you need help to remove impurities, control excess oil,  and depending what your toner contains it can be beneficial for acne-prone skin types. Disclaimer: I was sent the product to review as part of the LoveLula accredited blogger program, this does not change my honest review written in my blog posts. All links in black are not affiliated and are used for you to find the product quicker.
The Kathleen Natural Rebalancing & Soothing Tonifying Mist is presented in a 150ml bottle with a spray applicator head. The paraben and sulphates-free formula presents itself with a light yellow colour that can be seen from the label (great to know how much is present in the bottle before you run out) and the fine mist it delivers onto the skin is perfect in equal amounts. The ingredients it contains are as follows:
Aqua - Is used in nearly all formulations of skin care products to mix ingredients together.
*** licensed by Soil Association -

Closing your eyes and spritzing over a cleansed face and neck, or you can spray onto a cotton wool pad and sweep over the skin, the formula veils the skin delicately, before absorbing quickly, leaving the skin feeling soft and hydrated. It is the perfect toner that doesn't strip the skin, but supports and hydrates after each application for a balanced complexion. Apply before your serums and moisturiser, or spritz over makeup to hold it in place, but don't forget to breathe in the fragrance for its calming influence it has on your well-being. Enjoy for yourself when adding the tonifying mist into your skincare routine everyday, X Neil.

Zuii Organic Self Tanning Range.

Achieve that sunless tan with a few easy applications of the products from the Zuii Organic self tanning range. The organic formulations only contain nourishing and beneficial ingredients that once applied, your skin will benefit upon contact. The Australian and certified organic brand formulate their amazing beneficial products using real flowers with a blend of plants extracts, essential oils, vitamins and minerals, while the fresh and floral aroma will influence your senses and well-being.
The Zuii Organic flora gradual tan face water is your three-in-one product to tan, hydrate and firm the skin. Apply after cleansing like your usual toner, the colourless water contains active tanning ingredients to give the skin a healthier glow, with out looking orange. Boosting hydration and elasticity within the skin, you are introducing anti-aging and firming benefits into your skincare routine with one easy application. You can apply the water into your hands or onto a cotton pad, to then proceed to massage the water into the face and neck with circular motions. I was impressed in how quickly this absorbs into the skin and leaves a smooth and hydrated base, a skin care product and tanning product that improves and respects the skin, while still delivering a realistic tan.
The Zuii Organic flora self tanning foam delivers an instant sunless tan, without that typical biscuit smell you may experience if you have used sunless tanners before. Available in four shades, the nourishing ingredients hydrate the skin as the tan develops into a deep bronze colour and can be washed off after 2 hours, 6 hours, or reapplied after the first application as you have the control over the shade outcome. Exfoliating the skin before application and not applying any moisturizer will help the tan deliver perfect results because it wont be fighting with any barrier that is left on the skin from products. Using a tanning mitt and applying a few pumps, the tan glides over the skin really easily and does not leave the skin feeling sticky throughout the developing time. Once the tan is rinsed off, it does not look streaky or patchy and skin feels hydrated with a natural looking tan accompanied by a floral aroma.
The Zuii Organic flora dry oil tan extender is a non-greasy lotion that is delivered by a fine mist. Lock in the colour of your tan by lightly misting onto the body, arms, and legs, while then proceeding to massage in circular motions until its absorbed. It also can enhance your tan because it contains active tanning ingredients that build a natural colour, but the other great thing is it hydrates! The application of the dry oil is easy and it is absorbed in the skin quickly, hydrated skin will make your tan look flawless and help it last longer which this certainly achieves!
The certified organic flora self tanning range not only delivers a natural sunless colour, it also contributes and respects the skins natural health. Providing a certified organic, vegan-friendly self tanning range is another appealing point for this great brand, there isn't many brands out there that cater to meet this standard, but you can now enjoy self tanning with natural organic ingredients. Check out the full range from Zuii Organic that are formulated with real flowers, for an enjoyable self tan experience, X Neil.
