I recently began using Sophyto’s Daily Skin Rejuvenation Collection, so I’ll be reviewing some or all of the products individually in the future. It’s far too soon to give a definitive opinion, but my skin isn’t revolting against me yet (which is always a good sign). Be on the lookout for the reviews!

And be on the lookout tomorrow specifically for a recipe that will rock your worlds.

When Stevonne from Beija-Flor Naturals contacted me about trying the company’s Beija-Flor Naturals Amazon Anti-Oxidant Treatment, I was intrigued. Stevonne was remarkably upfront about the product’s ingredients, and with good reason—they’re pretty stellar. After seeing such impressive ingredients, I was expecting a lot from this product…and I wasn’t disappointed!

Ingredients (provided in the Beija-Flor Naturals Etsy Shop)- “Murumuru Butter, Cupuacu Butter, Cocoa  Butter,Tucuma Butter, Rice Bran Oil, Passion Fruit Oil, Vitamin E, Acai Oil”

This preliminary report I created for this product in the Cosmetics Database gave it a very low hazard score of 0, with none of the individual ingredients having hazards scores above 2. The only ingredient I left out was tucuma butter, since I couldn’t locate it in the database.

Some great things about this product:

1. It’s free of parabens and petrochemicals.

Product Description(provided in the Beija-Flor Naturals Etsy Shop)- “Face moisturizer that shows results in the first use. Smooths rough areas, lines and wrinkles and gives a healthy glow to skin. This facial butter kicks the butt of any anti-aging product on the market today! Our all natural blend of Brazilian butters are a non-greasy blend of Cupacu, Murumuru, Tucuma, Cocoa Butter, Passion Fruit, and Acai extracts that liquefy upon contact and absorbs into skin quickly.

This product is full of antioxidants that decrease cell destruction, which in turn combats the aging process. The Amazon Antioxidant Treatment is a great night cream or daily moisturizer, and safe to use under makeup. The natural cocoa fragrance of the ingredients will make you do a little samba!”

Price- $12.95 for a 2.5 oz glass jar.

Performance- To be honest, I wasn’t completely shocked to discover that I absolutely love this treatment. It’s probably hard to go wrong with such a dreamy mixture of oils and butters.

I’ve found this product to be a real miracle worker in the following areas:

• elbows
• under my eyes (I’m young so I hardly have any lines under my eyes to begin with, but this treatment has made even the tiniest lines seem less obvious).
• knees
• feet

Scent- This product has a nice, nutty scent; it also smells a little like chocolate (probably because of the cocoa butter). You won’t hear me complaining!

Rating- 10/10

From Left to Right:

Captain Blankenship Mantra Perfume Sample- I ran out of this dreamy sample almost immediately. After Jana heard about how much I liked this particular scent, she kindly offered to send me my own roll-on for free! My Christmas list just got a little shorter.

Wash the Day Away Calming Chamomile Facial Elixir- Since running out of this product, which I loved, I’ve been cleansing my face with another oil blend of Danielle’s.

Burt’s Bees Aloe & Witch Hazel Hand Sanitizer- While I did enjoy this product, I probably won’t purchase it again since the ingredients could be better. I’ll probably pick up a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Hand Sanitizing Spray next.

Karen’s Botanicals Perfect Lotion-I tried to make this lotion last as long as I possibly could, and I think I did a pretty good job. Now that it’s gone, I’m pretty bummed out. I need the largest bottle available, and fast!

Dr. Bronner’s Tea Tree Castile Soap- Luckily, when I was home for Thanksgiving, my mom bought me a huge bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Almond Soap to replace my dwindling supply of the other.

All done! Depending on how many products I finish this month, maybe I’ll do another at the end of December. Let me know if you guys do a similar post so I can check it out. : )

P.S. Be sure to check back tomorrow for a lovely giveaway! Here’s a hint: I’ll be giving away a product pictured above.

Along with my new 100% Pure cosmetics, I also received several body cream samples in a few different scents- cabernet grape, honey almond, and green apple. I won’t judge you for being jealous; that’s a normal reaction to have.

The preliminary reports that I created in the Cosmetics Database give these products each a hazard score of 1. The 1 ingredient I left out of each report is maqui berry, which the site didn’t recognize. There are no ingredients in these products with hazard scores higher than 2, but there are a few ingredients with no data.

Some great things about these products:

1. They contain organic ingredients.

2. They’re of parabens, petrochemicals, retinyl palmitate, phthalates, artificial fragrance, artificial colors & chemical preservatives.

3. They’re cruelty-free (and the only animal product 100% pure uses is cruelty-free honey).

Product Description(provided at 100percentpure.com)- “Highly nourishing, luxurious cream concentrated with potent anti-aging antioxidants, vitamins, skin softening fruit oils and moisturizing cocoa and avocado butters. Delicious smelling body cream will immediately hydrate, soften and feed your skin nutrients for a healthy, glowing complexion. Truly, 100% Pure – never any artificial fragrances, synthetic chemicals, toxic preservatives, or any other unsafe ingredients. Made only with the highest quality, organic nutrients for your skin.”

Price- Each 8 oz. bottle costs around $15.

Performance- If soft, hydrated skin if what you’re after (and who isn’t?), then these body creams are right up your alley. They won’t leave you feeling greasy or oily, and your skin will be smooth from morning until night!

Scent- The cabernet grape smells like grape kool-aid- what a treat! The green apple smells like a sour apple blow pop (another treat, but this scent is much more fleeting). The honey almond is definitely my favorite scent of the three. It reminds me a little of a maraschino cherry, which I love.

Rating- I’m giving the Grape and Apple lotions each an 8/1o, since the scents aren’t really something I’d consider wearing daily (regardless of how yummy they might smell).

The Honey Almond earns a 10/10. It seems to be a much more versatile scent, and it’s one I’d likely wear day after day.

Average rating: 9/10!

I don’t know many men who moisturize, and I think it’s a real shame.

I’m not gonna lie; the bright blue label is mostly to blame for this item’s presence on this list.

I bet this beard oil smells heavenly.

Kirby enjoys all things vanilla scented, and this vanilla almond shea butter would likely be no exception.

Getting clean never seemed so manly!

Moisture Cream, Shaving Gel, Beard Oil, Shea Butter, Body Wash.

Also, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this to you guys yet, but I’ll be attending my first day of classes at McNeese tomorrow! Taking a year off made me realize how important finishing college is to me, and I’m pretty excited about going back and continuing with a history major. I’ll also be working at the school, so free time won’t come as easily as it has in the past several months. I’ll try to continue posting at least five times a week, but don’t worry if I miss a day or two. I’m not going anywhere. : )

Ingredients (provided at ewg.org/skindeep)- “Aqua (Purified Water); Vegetable Glycerin; Triisostearyl Citrate; C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate; Stearic Acid; Ethyl Macadamiate; Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride; Stearyl Alcohol; Dimethicone; Polysorbate-60; Aspalathus Linearis (Red Tea) Leaf Extract; Polylysine; Copper Gluconate; Zinc Gluconate; Manganese Gluconate; Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vit. C); Sodium Hyaluronate; Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Extract*; Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Gel*; Tocopheryl Acetate (Vit. E); Sodium PCA; Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*; Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil; Allantoin; Curcuma Longa (Tumeric) Root Extract; Glyceryl Laurate; Potassium Cetyl Phosphate; Cetearyl Alcohol; Ceteareth-20; Sorbitan Stearate; Carbomer; Potassium Hydroxide; Benzyl Alcohol; Potassium Sorbate; Sodium Benzoate; *Certified Organic”

This product receives a hazard score of 4 in the Cosmetics Database. The ingredients with hazard scores above a 3 are Ceteareth-20 (4-7, depending on usage), Benzyl Alcohol (6), Manganese Gluconate (5), and Tocopheryl Acetate (4).

Some great things about this product:

1. It contains organic ingredients.

2.It’s cruelty, fragrance, and paraben free.

Product Description(provided at jason-natural.com)- “JASON Red Elements Hydrating Night Crème delivers intense moisture and nourishment to renew and revitalize skin overnight. Red Tea Extract protects skin against free radical damage while Polypeptides maximize collagen production and strengthens collagen fibers which keep skin looking youthful. Copper, Zinc, and Manganese are minerals that fight for healthier, smoother, more radiant skin. This Hypo-allergenic, fragrance and Paraben free crème hydrates and firms skin, combating the signs of aging overnight, leaving only soft, dewy fresh skin by morning.”

Price- around $20 for a 1.5 oz. container.

Performance- I’ll be honest. I was a little worried about using this product at first, since it has way more ingredients than the Karen’s Botanicals moisturizers I’ve been using. Surprisingly, though, my skin didn’t revolt at all. I woke up each morning after using it with the loveliest glowing skin. The silky consistency of the night crème was also pretty dreamy; it made my skin feel incredibly smooth. I audibly sighed when I realized my sample had run out. What a bummer!

Scent- This product is fragrance free, so it doesn’t have much of a scent at all.

Rating- 8/10. I subtracted 2 points for the questionable ingredients.

Today’s giveaway was made possible by Made From Earth. If you’re searching for cruelty-free skincare products that never contain parabens, synthetic preservatives, colors, and fragrances, then look no further than these guys!

Made From Earth sent me four great products (pictured above) to give to one lucky reader, and they are as follows-

1. A 2 oz. bottle of Three Berry Organic Face Serum- Christina was over the moon for her Made From Earth Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum, and my Rosehip+Hibsicus Serum has my skin looking positively radiant. With its organic ingredients and antioxidant power, this Three Berry Serum has the potential to be equally dreamy.
2. A deluxe sample of Pure Aloe Vera Skin Treatment- Hopefully my review of this wonderful moisturizer says it all.
3. A tube of Citrus Fresh Lip Balm- Short lists of familiar ingredients, simple scents, and exceptional performance!
4. A tube of Vanilla Lip Balm- Above applies. I reviewed both lip balms here.

Remember Christina’s review of Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum? Well, today I’ll be reviewing the second of the two serums Made From Earth sent me for review. I didn’t use the serum Christina reviewed for long enough to form an opinion about it, but I can say firsthand that their Rosehip + Hibiscus Organic Face Serum is pretty great!

Ingredients (provided at madefromearth.com)- “Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Hibiscus Flower Extract, Rosehip Seed Oil, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Coconut, Emulsifying Wax, Vitamin E, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE Bitartrate), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Vitamin B3, Pro-Vitamin B5, Beta Carotene (Pro Vitamin A), Vitamin C Ester, Polysaccharide Gum, Rosemary, Neem, Tetrasodium EDTA, Citric Acid.”

This product wasn’t in the Cosmetics Database, so I linked to each ingredient above. The ingredients with hazard scores above a 3 are Emulsifying Wax (4) and Phenoxyethanol (3-4). There was no data on Vegetable Glycerin or Vitamin C Ester, and Rosehip seed oil, MSM, and Polysaccharide Gum wern’t in the database at all.

Some great things about this product:

1.  It’s free of parabens.

2.  It’s cruelty-free.

3. It contains organic ingredients.

Product Description(also provided at madefromearth.com)- “This gentle Rosehip + Hibiscus Face Serum is recommended for sensitive skin. The serum is easily absorbed by the skin. Rose hips are a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and Vitamin C. The serum’s ingredients play a primary role in the regeneration process of skin cells and repair of damaged tissues.

Hibiscus extract, with its antioxidant properties, blends perfectly with the Rosehip Oil and provides natural astringent properties.”

Price- $24.99 for a 2 oz. bottle.

Performance-  Most often, I’ve been wearing this serum underneath Made From Earth’s Aloe Vera Skin Treatment at night and applying to my neck and chest after showering each day. It’s light enough to moisturize my chest without breaking it out, which is great and surprisingly hard to come by.  The bottle suggests waiting 5 minutes after applying this serum before putting any other moisturizer, but I usually get impatient and only wait about two. Comparing the times when I wait the full five minutes with the times when I do not, I haven’t really noticed much of a difference in my skin. It seems soft, moisturized, and radiant whether or not I wait. Wearing this product by itself during the day also results in hydrated, healthy looking skin.

Scent- It has a light floral scent that fades pretty quickly after application.

Rating- 7/10. I’m subtracting 3 points for the questionable ingredients/ingredients with no data.

Would I purchase this item again? As far as lighter moisturizers go, my favorite might always be Karen’s Botanicals Rehydrating Aloe Vera Lotion. It’s less expensive per ounce and the ingredients are more ideal. However, I do thoroughly enjoy this serum, so I might alternate between the two in the future.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for another Made From Earth giveaway!

Below is my review of yet another lovely, complimentary Made From Earth product I’ve been using. Spoiler alert: A jar of this Aloe Vera Skin Treatment might be part of a giveaway I’m announcing on Wednesday!

Ingredients (provided at madefromearth.com)- Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Organic Rooibos Tea Extract, Emulsifying Wax NF, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Olive Oil, Palm Stearic Acid, Organic Jojoba Oil, Avocado, Witch Hazel, Vitamin E, Black Willowbark Extract, Rosemary Oleoresin, Neem Oil.

I couldn’t find this product in the Cosmetics Database, so I’ve linked to each ingredient above. The only ingredient with a hazard score above a 3 is Emulsifying Wax NF, and it earns a hazard score of 4. Additionally, there is no data on Vegetable Glycerin or Palm Stearic Acid, and Black Willowbark Extract couldn’t be located in the database.

Some great things about this product:

1.  It contains organic ingredients.

2. It’s cruelty-free.

3. It’s free of parabens.

4. The jar is #1 plastic and can easily be recycled.

Product Description(also provided at madefromearth.com)-”This Aloe Vera Skin Treatment should be used for healing the skin from the effects of daily sun exposure. It is the most potent and natural form of aloe vera you can buy in a jar. Deeply moisturizes skin, while the aloe releases enzymes and natural vitamins into your skin. Treatment is recommended for use two to three times per week.”

Price- $14.99 for a 2 oz. container.

Performance- I know the description suggests using this product a mere two to three times a week, but I’ve been using it twice a day as a face and neck moisturizer and I’m loving the way my skin looks (in the morning by itself and at night on top of a Made From Earth Serum that I’ll be reviewing tomorrow. It calms any redness or irritation I’m experiencing and hydrates my skin without making it look too shiny. This treatment is slightly thicker/heavier than a serum, but it’s not as rich as a cream. It’s ideal, actually. I was a little worried that my skin might go crazy when I switched over from the previous moisturizer I’d been using, but my skin is as clear as  it has ever been.

Scent- Overall, this product doesn’t have much of a scent. I can smell a little aloe and maybe a little avocado, but it’s pretty light and might be best described as refreshing.

Rating- 9/10. I’m subtracting one point for the ingredient with a hazard score above a 3.

Would I purchase this item again? Absolutely I would!

Hello, I’m Christina Vedros McCain and I’ll be reviewing Made From Earth’s Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum. My lovely and generous friend Dawn passed this product along to me to review recently when I was dabbling in all the great products she has at her house. I hope my review helps you to decide if this product is right for you!

Ingredients (provided at madefromearth.com)- Rose Distillate, Aloe Vera Juice, Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Organic Bilberry Extract, Organic Sugar Cane Extract, Organic Sugar Maple Extract, Organic Orange Fruit Extract, Organic Lemon Extract, Organic Cranberry Extract, Vitamin E, Vitamin C Ester, CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10), Beta Carotene (Pro Vitamin A), Retinol Palmitate (Vitamin A), Alpha Lipoic Acid DL- Thioctic Acid, d-Calcium Pantothenate (Panthenol Vitamin B5), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Carrot Oil, Milk, Tetrasodium EDTA, Polysaccharide gum.

This serum wasn’t in the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database, so each ingredient has been linked above. The only ingredient with a hazard score above a 3 is Retinol Palmitate, and it earns a hazard score of 8. Polysaccharide gum wasn’t in the database.

Some great things about this product:

1.  It’s free of parabens.

2. It contains organic ingredients.

3. It’s cruelty-free.

Product Description(also provided at madefromearth.com)- “This serum contains powerful organic nutrients of DMAE, vitamin A, B, C and E, and alpha lipoic acid along with the wonder oil meadowfoam. Our blended formula counteracts dryness that occurs in aging skin and increases the moisture retention capacity. This will eventually improve your skins elasticity. ProVitiamin B5 stimulates skin regeneration while the organic compound DMAE immediately tightens and firms the skin for a fresh youthful appearance.”

Price- $39.99 for 2 oz.

Performance- I’ve been using this serum in the mornings under my make-up and at night before going to sleep. Depending on your skin type, you may need to use the serum in addition to a moisturizer, but my skin is oily enough to use only the serum. In fact, I find that my make-up goes on much smoother with this serum than it does when I use lotion. I’ll also add that I haven’t had any dry patches of skin since I began using this product, whereas, I normally do have dry skin despite applying lotion twice a day.

Scent- The product has a slight citrus scent that you don’t smell at all after it is applied. I find the smell to be fresh and pleasant.

Rating- I am going to take a 1/2 point off for the one hazardous ingredient. I am going to take another 1/2 point for the price being $39.99. 9/10.

Would I purchase this item again? I would likely purchase this product again because I do love the way my skin feels with it on. However, it is a bit out of my price range. While it is expensive, though, I do have to mention that I’ve had it for about three weeks and still have way more than half the bottle left. So, if I feeling like spoiling myself in the next couple months when I run out, I may splurge and order more.
