Human Nature | Affordable Organic Body Care Products + {Giveaway}

Organic body care products are based on vegetation grown without chemical pesticides & fertilizers. There's no genetically-modified organisms used in their production and there's no worry about any negative effects or residual toxins that may cause irritation to the skin.  Everyone know the benefits of organic products to our body and the Earth, but sometimes are scared off using them by the exorbitant prices some companies charge.  Thus, it really is a breath of fresh air discovering Human Nature, a social enterprise that brings in a line of affordable natural body care products that are safe for our bodies, for the environment, and also helps poor communities in the Philippines.

That's right, the main objective of this company is not about profits, but to bring organic products for the family made by Filipino farming communities to the masses. Human Nature keeps their prices cheaper than most other natural and organic products so that more people can use products that are good for them and for the environment. Only when millions use products free from harmful chemicals can we truly make a difference in our environment and the communities Human Nature wishes to help. Makes sense to me!

We received their best-selling products to try out and I've jotted our experiences below.

Natural Moisturising Shampoo in Lush Vanilla
What is it: Cream shampoo made with Philippine coco nectar, bursting with amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
How we like it: It doesn't lather much compared to commercial non-natural shampoos but still cleanses thoroughly, without the drying effect. It smells heavily of vanilla so if you like smelling like a sweet cupcake, this is for you! :P

Natural Moisturising Conditioner in Lush Vanilla
What is it: Hair conditioner made with one of nature's most intense moisturiser - avocado oil with Omega-3, seaweed extract to restore elasticity & organic virgin coconut oil for a healthy shine. It doesn't contain any harmful chemicals like silicones that appear to make hair smooth and soft to touch on the surface. The silicones actually coat hair like plastic and block out all the nutrients it needs and trap sebum & bacteria, thus causing allergic reactions. Eeeks!
How we like it: Smells delicious and hair felt smoother just after one wash! Great for dry hair and recommend to use this together with the moisturising shampoo in Lush Vanilla {above} as the smell complements one another. 

Natural Smoothing Hair Serum
What is it: New product that's made with a blend of nutrient-rich natural oils like sunflower, soy bean and broccoli oil to nourish and hydrate the oil, making it truly beautiful & healthy from inside out.
How we like it: I've got dry hair and find that the serum does help with my frays. It's not overly oily and good enough to use daily. Pretty potent stuff so one pump is all I need to smoothen out the frizz on my head in the morning before work.

Natural Kids Shampoo and Wash in Tangerine Tarsier
What is it: Yummy-scented, dermatologically-tested 2-in-1 hair and body wash for the little ones. It's infused with Philippine coco nectar that's rich in amino acids and vitamins, avocado oil and aloe vera to nourish and moisturise hair and skin.
How we like it: Very convenient to just use one product to cleanse Lil Pumpkin's whole body and she loves it! Doesn't smart her sensitive skin, and no tears or fuss whenever we bathe her in this, so win-win for us as parents too. As with most of the products from Human Nature, it smells so delicious!

Citronella Bug Spray
What is it: All-natural, DEET-free {chemical found in many pesticides & bug repellents and linked to neurological damage} formula infused with organic virgin coconut oil for skin-healing and anti-microbial benefits, organic citronella oil, organic lemongrass essential oil, rosemary and lavender essential oils.
How we like it: So handy to bring about in the small spray bottle and it gives off a pleasant aroma which Lil Pumpkin likes too. We used it when we went to the Singapore Zoo Run & other outdoor play and find that it does help to keep the bugs away.

Natural Mineral Blush {Rosy Cheeks}
What is it: Lightweight, sheer mineral blush with Vitamin E antioxidants for healthy skin.
How we like it: It has a soft, silky texture that applies easily to the skin. All I needed was a few pats for a natural, healthy glow that lasts me through the day. I like the pretty, reddish tinge and there's other shades available - Pink Quartz, Petal Bloom and Tropical Rose.

Natural Tinted Lip Balm {Flame Tree}
What is it: A blend of cocoa butter, beeswax and all-natural plant oils to keep your lips moisturised.
How we like it: Instead of  thick creamy lipsticks, I prefer tinted balms for a more natural look with a hint of colour. It has peppermint in it so quite refreshing on your lips. If you like Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm, you will love this too at almost half the price. I found Flame Tree to be a tad too dark for me, so would prefer either Pink Orchid {pink} or Island Kiss {coral}.

Pure Strength Black Diamond Cleansing Bar
What is it: A new product for the men that contains deep-cleansing bamboo carbon known for its powerful beneficial properties to keep the skin hydrated and clean.
How we like it: The boy said it was very invigorating due to the peppermint added, which is great after a hard day at work. His skin did not feel too "tight" or squeaky clean after the wash, like what some bar soaps do when they strip away too much moisture from the skin. He's still using it daily so that's a good sign :)
