Aloe Vera Gel - Beauty By Earth

My Rating: «««¶¶

The Beauty By Earth company uses all natural ingredients and when it can organic ingredients too. This is one of the reasons I wanted to try their Aloe Vera Gel.

When I opened this Aloe Vera gel I could smell a unpleasant smell. Later when I emailed Beauty By Earth I was told it was the natural preservative system they use so that the aloe does not grow bacteria and that in the future they would change it or add essential oils. I have been applying this gel to my arms and legs. It helps refresh and moisturize my dry skin. Although the smell is unpleasant it does fade a little after the gel dries. Besides the smell the gel is sticky on my hands so I end up having to wash my hands. To extended shelf life  and for best results it says to refrigerate after opening. It also warns that this gel is for external use.

Aloe Vera Gel is a great product to have handy because of all the uses you can get out of it. Here are a few that I have used:

  1. Moisturize Dry Skin - I tend to have dry skin and this aloe vera gel has helped smooth my skin
  2. Healing Razor Burns - I always use some aloe to help heal superficial cuts that happen even if I do not know it 
  3. Treat burns - for those few times I get burned when cooking
I do love that this product only has 6 ingredients. And it does have one organic ingredient: 95.7% organic Aloe Vera.

Ingredients:
Organic Aloe Barbadenis (Aloe Vera) Juice, Ascorbyl Glucoside (Vitamin C),
Xanthan Gum, Radish Root Ferment Filtrate,
Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Sodium Citrate

As of now I would not add this product to my shopping list but as soon as the company finds a way to improve the smell it will be added! If you would like to check out this company on amazon for some natural products click on the image below~

VoilaVe Coconut Moisture with Retinol

My Rating: ««««¶

This face and neck moisturizer is good. Although I do not need ant-aging products I ordered this because it claims to help moisturize and reduce the size of pores. I love that a few of the ingredients are organic but more of the ingredients were organic. When I used it I loved that it was not greasy and was easily absorbed into the skin but still moisturizing. I wish the product has a scent to it although I am sure others will like that it does not have a scent. The product came in a purple box and had a plastic seal around the cap. I love that the product comes with a pump. I only need 2 pumps to cover face and neck. This product last 6 months after opening so I wrote the open date on the bottle so that I will not forget. I will be using this daily because it feel great on my skin.

I also received a sample of VoilaVe beauty revealed but I have not tried it.
