Detox!

I went to detox. . .I mean my hair went for detox. . . and I wish I can do the same for my body, hahaha!

I felt that my hair got dry from the shampoo that I've been using so I thought of trying Human Heart Nature's All-Natural Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner (because it has no or at least has significantly less chemical ingredients).  I love that they came in a Mandarin Fresh scent!  (I love citrusy scents in everything. . . including car fresheners, haha!)

If you want a shampoo that has a nice thick and creamy consistency and lathers the hair nicely . . . well, this shampoo is NOT for you, haha!  The consistency of the shampoo is watery and it doesn't lather much.  I had to use a fair bit more just so I can see foam in my hair.  You might be thinking . . .if it doesn't lather much, then it must not be doing its job of cleaning away the oil and dirt from the hair.  And that was my concern the first time I used it.  

But you know, a shampoo that doesn't lather much is actually a good thing because it only means that it doesn't contain chemical surfactants.  (From www.madehow.com - Surfactants are the cleansing ingredients in shampoos.  Some common primary detergents used in shampoos are ammonium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate.)  Sulfates are actually the detergents that create the lather.

While the shampoo doesn't lather the way I want it, the conditioner's consistency is good enough for me.  One thing I like about the formulation of these all-natural hair products is it's easier to rinse the hair.   

After drying my hair (using an electric fan), I felt my hair was clean (even without the foam and suds that I'm used to, haha!)  and light.  It also came out soft and manageable too.  These hair products actually exceeded my expectations.  I love, love, love them that I am making the big switch!    

Yes, you can say that I'm one happy (more of delighted!) customer!

Lovin' Human Nature Sunflower Oil

I've heard raves about this product from our N@W group (Newlyweds At Work) and from my friend D when we were talking about various organic beauty and health products that are now available in the market.  Hearing so many good feedbacks encouraged me to get one for myself.  I am soooo glad that we have a dealer here in our city! (Human Nature products are being sold at Posh Nails (2/F) located at Walter Mart, San Fernando, Pampanga)

Below are the 15 "miracles" that this product can do (as seen in Human Nature's magalogue):

• Softens and lightens underarms
• Lightens dark undereye circles
• Lightens dark spots and pimple marks
• Under eye moisturizer
• Prevents and diminishes the appearance of stretch marks
• Softens feet, soles and elbow
• Removes stubborn make up
• Overall body moisturizer
• Moisturizes dry hair ends
• Softens the cuticles
• De-frizzes hair
• Adds shine to dull hair
• Relieves itching and inflammation caused by insect bites
• Nourishes and conditions eyelashes
• Lightens dark lips

I tried using it for my underarms (admit it  Ladies. . . we all want a smoother and lighter underarm! LOL) and I'm happy to say . . it is effective!!!  And no, I won't be posting "before" and "after" photos of my underarm! Haha!   I hope you can just take my word for it, heehee. . .

All the above benefits at a price that is easy on the pocket (a 50ml bottle only costs Php 119.75!).  Other products I bought were their deodorant and hand sanitizer.

And I'm eyeing this one as well. . . their Citronella bug spray (which is now SOLD OUT. . . I guess because of the rising dengue cases being reported, this has become a popular product)  

But the best thing about Human Nature is everytime you buy their products, you also support the company's core philosophy of PRO-Philippines, PRO-Poor and PRO-Environment.  And in our own way, we contribute to the social change they are aiming for. . . . and that to me is the true beauty of Human Nature.
