I liked the overall look of the product.  The bottle was informative yet not too over the top. I liked that the product is something that a parent created as a home experiment to find something to help their child’s skin problem. I like that the bottle is a simple design and is clear and informative. The ingredients are clear, I like that there is a clear list of all of the things aren’t included in the product. I really like that the reason for creating the product is clearly on the bottle too. This was very easy to use. I did use this as bath oil on my children.  It was very effective if anything a bit too effective. I could feel the product on my child’s skin the next day after bathing in it too. I did try it as massage oil on my children too.  Again it was very easy to use and I could feel that their skin was still very moisturised the following day too. My husband tried it as a shaving oil.  He felt it was a bit too oily for his face but it was nice to shave with. I didn’t try this as an emollient after I’d showered as I found it personally a bit too oily for myself.  If I had dry skin though I would definitely use it to help as you can definitely feel the difference when you’ve used it. I didn’t personally try it as cleansing oil as I have very sensitive skin and it has taken me many years to find something that doesn’t make my skin sore. Also the smell of the product would have been a bit too over powering for me to use on my face.  It is a nice smell used diluted in the kids bath but I do find it a bit strong. My daughter loves the smell. Skin was very soft after using.  My hands were lovely and soft after bathing the kids in it.  I could also feel a difference in my kid’s skin after the first time of using it. I bathed the kids in it twice a week.  I didn’t feel the need to use it in every bath as I could still feel the effects of using it the day after. I noticed a difference with my children straight after their first bath in it.  I could instantly feel the moisture on their skin yet it didn’t leave them slippery or sticky. My daughter use to suffer with dry skin on her back when she was younger and I wouldn’t hesitate to use this again to see if it helps if she were to have another case of dry skin. All of the family used this myself, my husband and my 2 children. I do think it is a little on the expensive side but then saying that, I do like that it is all natural ingredients and if either of my kids had try skin I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again to see if it helped.  I like that it is made of natural ingredients and that it is produced by a lady trying to find something to help her daughter who has skin problems. If any of my family started having skin problems I would not hesitate to buy it. I would definitely recommend it to others.  I noticed a difference in my families’ skin after just one use and they don’t have dry skin so I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who has a skin problem. I really liked the product.  From the first use you could feel a difference in skin condition. It’s made 100% from naturally ingredients so you don’t have to worry about there being any hidden nasties in it. Overall I am very pleased that I was given the chance to test this product.  It was easy to use, and you could notice a difference after the first use. My kids loved using it too.  My daughter loved the smell and wanted to use every day. The only downside, if you could call it a down side, was that it did leave the bath slippy after use.  It does state this on the bottle too and it wasn’t a surprise as after all, it is an oil based product.

It looked high quality and the packaging was versatile and professional, with clear and concise wording. Different, using hemp etc. I liked the concept. Liked the bottle design and I particularly like the green label colour. It was quite messy, being oil.  It dripped down the bottle when pouring into my hand. I used in my bath and it stayed on my skin when I got out. It was fab massage oil, very smooth and oily which worked very well. I did use this as shaving oil and it worked well. I used immediately after the shower and it definitely locked the moisture into my skin. I did use this as facial cleansing oil, although I found it a little heavy and oily for my face. This did leave my skin feeling soft and smooth.  I used this every day for 2 weeks.  I noticed improvement in my skin immediately as it oiled my skin with instant results. I used this on my daughter’s dry skin patches and it worked well. I feel it differed to other products on the market, therefore I would pay the price again. I loved tis classy looking packaging.  I would buy this as it is different to other products out there and worked as expected.  I would recommend as it worked well and I also think it would make a nice gift.  Looks good, clear and concise and does what it says on the bottle.

Arrived and looked nice simplistic design and bottle very green. I liked that is offered so many uses. This was easy to use and easy to apply. I did use as bath oil for Christina, nice and she did feel lovely and soft and smelt gorgeous but I did find it a little bit greasy for my liking. Ahh now my daughter loved this when I used it as massage oil and was lovely mummy and daughter tome together.  Soaked into her skin so well and her skin felt silky soft. I did not use as a shaving oil but might try that in the future. Personally I am not keen on using oils after shower so did not use this for this purpose. I did use this as a facial cleanser at night and found that it was really soft and gentle, cleaned my skin so well and skin felt nice and nourished before going to bed.  Also felt fabulous and soft in the morning. This certainly left mine and my daughter’s skin feeling so soft and we loved using this.  I used as massage oil twice weekly, as facial oil to remove makeup daily and also used for nappy changes daily too. I would say just a few days of use and you could see the improvement in mine and my daughter’s skin.  We both suffer from dry skin and this really helped.  My husband tried this on his hands as plasterer and they take a bashing and he did say worked well for him. It is expensive but the results are good.  I would not spend this every month, but due to how well it worked I would purchase as a treat for me and my daughter. I loved the smell and I loved using it as massage oil as made my daughter’s skin silky smooth and smelling gorgeous. I would buy this as a treat.  I would recommend to anyone who has dry skin issues. A lovely product, as versatile as can be used in so many ways and works really well.  Just not something I would buy every month due to price, but it worked well for us.  Katharine Ulouwich – Christina 1 Year
