Human Nature Haul

As I have told you from a previous post, I am now using an organic facial wash which is the Human Nature Balancing Facial Wash.

I have faith in the formulation. And I believe in Human Nature's Advocacy: Pro-Philippines, Pro-Poor and Pro-Environment. :)

Top three reasons why I want to try more of their products...

- They have a really good selection of skincare products for different skin types.

- They have super affordable products that won't hurt your skin and pocket.

- They help fund the development of sustainable livelihood for Filipino farming communities. 

As you enjoy your products, you help other people to have a better life. How cool can that be?

Given how I really liked that wash and how I want to support their advocacy, I went ahead and purchased some of their products online. 

Here's my haul...

Order came in two parcels

Parcel # 1

Parcel # 2

Everything that I got... :)

Now you might be wondering why my order came in two parcels when I only ordered a few items. Parcel # 1 came in two days earlier with the Purifying Scrub, Moisturizing Shampoo and Frequent Shopper Reward Card. Attached with the parcel is an invoice itemizing my delivered orders and the products that are yet to follow when its already available. 

Human Nature Balancing Face Toner (100ml), 99.75php

Got this to pair with my current Facial Wash. I wanted to see whether this is as good as the wash.  I am nearly out of my current toner, will replace it with this one. I have high hopes for this. We'll see! :)

Biodegradable, 100% Natural and Cruelty free

Human Nature Purifying Facial Scrub (50ml), 104.75php

According to their site, I can use this to alternate with my Balancing Facial Wash for a deeper clean. What's more amazing, the scrubs are made with real Strawberry seeds and Fine Bamboo Granules. I have not used any skin product with Strawberry in it and I'm eager to see what it can do to my skin. This product smells like sweet, sweet, sweet strawberries. 

Biodegradable, 100% Natural and Cruelty free

Opening

Human Nature Moisturizing Shampoo (50ml), 44.75php
& Moisturizing Conditioner (50ml), 49.75php
- Both in Lush Vanilla 

I have a really dry hair from treating it with chemicals. So any hair product that has moisturizing in its name, I am willing to try. That's how desperate I am now. haha I am also curious about the new Cream Foam Technology that this shampoo has. Will it beat my Dove experience? hmmm :)

Frequent Shopper Reward Card

Wasn't expecting to have this card. It came with the parcel and I'm so gonna use this for my next purchases. Definitely looking forward to future purchases from this brand.

They must've gotten confused with my last name which is actually 'Cay' and not 'Sy'. :)

How it works!

Organic products are generally more expensive than the chemically processed ones but not Human Nature! Have you noticed the price point of the items in my haul? Aren't they affordable? If you are unsure whether you will like something, you can choose to buy them in smaller packs. 

Recycled but still re-usable boxes

I will be reusing these Human Nature boxes to keep various samples I get from different brands. I just love how they send the products in neat and sturdy boxes. They also fill the box with used papers so items will not shake when it is in transit. Very eco-friendly packaging!

I will be testing these products first and see if they are worth reviewing. ;)

Lovelies, have you tried organic skincare products?

Love,

Human Nature Balancing Facial Wash

I HAVE AN OILY/COMBINATION SKIN. 

Before, I tried using washes that can remove all the oil on my skin. Thought it was the best way to deal with all the oil welling up. But I got the wrong notion! What I did just made it even worse for my skin. Stripping my face of its natural moisture will cause it to produce even more oil. :( 

Now, I have been using this facial wash, day and night for more than a month now. And I have been loving it ever since! I use this to remove everything on my face: makeup, oil & dirt. At nights,  I add a scrub to the routine to help my night cream absorb better to the skin.

Product Description at the back of the bottle

I love how this product is 98.5% natural. And the 1.5% left are not harmful chemicals. No parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLES, formaldehyde or other toxic substances found in other beauty products that can harm your skin with continued use. How good can this get! 

Closer look at the product

The green particles are scrubs (bamboo and luffa). I don't rub this vigorously on my skin because the scrubs can kind of get too abrasive. I lather gently. haha

Manufacturing and Expiration Date at the side of the bottle

Only downside with this facial wash is that it is biodegradable as most of its ingredients are organic. Not really a problem for me because I can finish a bottle in probably 2 months time. And expiration date is not till a year from the manufacturing date.

You can use this facial wash if you have an oily or combination skin(oily in some areas and dry on other parts). From the Human Nature website, I gathered this information on how to tell if you have an oily or combination skin.

You have OILY or COMBINATION skin when you experience at least three (3) of the signs below:

• You wake up and your skin is shiny and slick around your nose

• Your pores are visible (even on entire face)

• After washing, your face looks shiny

• Your skin is usually has a slippery texture

• You find yourself using blotting papers or re-applying powder more than 2x a day

If you experience the above, you need to balance your skin to keep it clean and healthy!

Here are the significant Ingredients found in the facial wash that'll help combat your oily skin problems...

• Nature’s blend of Manila Elemi, prized ingredient revered by the world’s beauty industry

• Marine extracts for shine-free, glowing skin. 

• Infused with sugar beet and aloe vera to help replenish lost moisture  

• Bamboo scrubs and loofah gently exfoliate clogged dirt and trapped oil.

"Did you know: Top luxury brands like Chanel, Dior, Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs all use Manila Elemi from the sap of the pili tree. This prized ingredient revered by the world’s beauty industry is found only in the Philippines!"

I am never going back to chemical soaps as long as I have this facial wash with me. I hope my skin takes a long time before getting used to it! I just love it and I already purchased a back up bottle. 

Bought my first bottle at Rustan's Supermarket and the second at Beauty Bar. You can also purchase this from the Human Nature Website: http://humanheartnature.com/buy/index.php/facial-lip-care/balancing-facial-wash.html. I also have to mention that their site is very informative. As consumers, let's do our part by being aware what goes in the products we use.

Lovelies, what's your facial wash?

Love,

Anna
