Organic Excellence Review








Revitalizing Hair Therapy
A luxurious hair therapy, free of the harsh chemicals Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate found in most shampoos. Our Wild Mint Shampoo is specially formulated to moisturize, maintain a healthy pH balance, prevent hair loss, stimulate growth, and protect against ultra-violet rays and air pollution. Restores moisture, shine, and body for beautiful hair. Ideal for all hair types.


Our Experience:

This is a good shampoo for the whole family, chemical free and can be used on all hair types. I wasn't to sure how mint shampoo was going to smell but it's a really good scent. J said is smells like mint ice cream! Of course I love the fact that it's free of the harsh chemicals Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate. I also like the fact that it has a nice lather without using a ton of shampoo. I don't know why but I love my lather!






Revitalizing Hair Therapy
 
Wild Mint Conditioner moisturizes without coating your hair, building up or creating a heavy feeling. It prevents split ends and hair loss, promotes growth, and calms frizz and static electricity. For manageability, deep conditioning, luxurious body, and a beautiful shine, nothing compares to Wild Mint Conditioner. Ideal for all hair types.
 
 
Our experience:
This conditioner also smells like mint ice cream...mmmm! It's a great conditioner on my hair type (blond, fine and wavy) and a good conditioner for my children. However, I recommend a separate leave-in for coarse hair that will need de-tangling.
I like to conditioner my hair and have it feel fresh and bouncy not waxy and weighed down. Organic excellence conditioner left my hair feeling great, lots of body and shine! Love it!
4/5 for J
5/6 for Me
 
 
 



Exfoliating Soap Substitute


The Organic Excellence Spearmint Body wash is free of the harsh detergents Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate found in products that lather. This specially formulated, chemical free soap alternative moisturizes and soothes dry, itchy skin. Certified organic herbs help improve tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation and gently exfoliate to reveal younger looking, brighter skin.


Our Experience:
YES YES YES a great product for dry itchy skin and my house has a lot of it! Everyone has sensitive skin, J and Z had moderate to severe eczema (depending on the time of year) and Hubby has super sensitive skin that gets itchy very easily. We ALL used this body wash and we all had great results!
We Love the minty fresh smell !!
 
 
 


Silk Protein Formula
 
 
Our Anti-Aging Therapy penetrates deeply to hydrate, soften, and rejuvenate your skin. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles, age spots and redness while repairing sun damage. Very regenerative and moisturizing for fresh, younger looking skin.
 
 
Our Experience:
 
I am in my early 30'a and don't use a lot of anti-aging products, though I'm sure I probably should. I used the anti-aging therapy and found it left my skin very soft. To be honest with you, I don't think I have too many wrinkles so I can't say how it works for appearance of wrinkles....but my skin did feel softer!!
 
 



C-Max Formula
Skin Renewal Therapy is a unique formula with a high concentration of L-Ascorbic Vitamin C; the only vitamin C proven to stimulate collagen production and increase skin cell renewal. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles and helps heal sun damaged skin while providing maximum moisture, protection and rejuvenation
 
 
Our Experience:
 
I'm going to say the same for the Skin Renewal Therapy. I am in my early 30'a and don't use a lot of anti-aging products, though I'm sure I probably should. I used the anti-aging therapy and found it left my skin very soft. To be honest with you, I don't think I have too many wrinkles so I can't say how it works for appearance of wrinkles....but my skin did feel softer!!
 
I found the Skin Renewal Therapy made my skin even softer than the Anti-aging Therapy!!
 
 
HAPPY CUSTOMERS

Cara B. Review & Giveaway



Children Are Always Beautiful, Naturally!





Product Details

Gently cleanse your child’s delicate hair and skin with our all-natural, nourishing bath solution.
CARA B Naturally Shampoo / Body Wash includes vitamin E and aloe to moisturize and soothe, while imparting a rich cleansing lather and calming all-natural chamomile fragrance. Hair and skin are left feeling clean and soft.

Our Experience:

Most natural shampoos are pretty thick and do not have much lather; this was not at all the case with this shampoo. It has a thinner consistency, makes a nice silky lather and a little goes a LONG way! At first I added way to much to my J's hair...OOOPS! J had a ton of suds on her head which was ok because since it's a body wash too she just used some of the extra suds to wash up...lol.  Her hair was clean but not dry feeling.

Though it's geared for kids I used it on my hubby's hair too! He loved the fact that it was not over drying and was happy that it had a light natural scent. He is not a product junkie, like me, so he loved the fact it could be used on hair or body!!







Product Details


  
Gently condition and moisturize your child’s hair without any oily residue.
Our all-natural Leave-In Conditioner / Daily Moisturizer is designed for use immediately after shampooing to improve manageability, and for use every day as a light, non-greasy, and gentle moisturizer. Jojoba oil and shea butter leave hair feeling noticeably soft.

Our Experience:

 After shampooing, I lightly patted the extra water from J's hair. I applied the leave-in conditioner. This is a very light conditioner that adds softness and helps de-tangle without weighing hair down. It would work especially well for picking the hair out into a "Halo"! This product is so light it would work on any hair type or texture!




Product Details
Improve manageability and impart a light shine to your child's hair with our all-natural Moisturizing Hair Mist. Jojoba oil increases moisture, while sweet almond oil leaves behind a light, healthy shine without any greasy residue.
Recommended for use with CARA B Naturally Leave-In Conditioner / Daily Moisturizer

Our Experience:
 Lots of great SHINE!! Not oily at all! This product also helps detangle.

There is a little story behind this product for me. I had done my neighbors little girl's hair a couple of weeks back. She had gone out to play the other day and got her hair all messed up AND on top of that her friend had cut off half her braids. Her mother was having a hard time getting her hair combed out and sent her over to me. I sprayed the ALL Natural Moisturizing Mist on her hair and it helped the braids and tangles slide right out of her hair!!




Product Details

Moisturize and soothe your child’s delicate skin with our all-natural formula of shea butter, jojoba oil, vitamin E, and aloe. Clinically tested and allergen-free. This light, non-greasy moisturizer leaves the skin feeling soft, with the delicately sweet scent of our all-natural chamomile fragrance.


Our Experience:

The whole family tried this product and agree it's a winner. One warning, a little goes a long way. (which is awesome for the budget!!) The first time I used it on Z's arm, I turned him WHITE lol. I used way too much. Very nice moisturizing lotion and helped soothe my sons itchy skin! We all give this one a thumbs up!!! 
The light chamomile scent is family friendly, especially for those with scent sensitivity!!



Gently cleanse delicate skin with the creamy blend of natural oils, shea butter, and aloe.

Ingredient List




Coconut oil, palm oil, safflower oil, glycerine (kosher, of vegetable origin), purified water, sodium hydroxide (saponifying agent), sorbitol (moisturizer), sorbitan oleate (emulsifier), soy bean protein (conditioner), aloe vera barbadensis leaf juice, shea butter, jojoba oil

 
Our Experience:

Possibly the BEST bar soap I have tried! Very moisturizing and awesome on sensitive skin. Anyone who is a regular reader knows we have 2 children with moderate to severe eczema depending on the season, and my husband has ultra-sensitive skin. We all used the baby soap and there were no itchies....just soft, clean skin! YAY!!! 5/5!!!



 I have to say, Cara B naturally came beautifully packaged with shredded paper and tied with a pretty green bow. Great for giving as a gift!
unfortunately the pictures were accidentally erased :(








WE LOVE CARA B NATURALLY!!!

MARSHMALLOW ROOT: FOR HAIR IT IS A CONDITIONING MUCILAGINOUS HERB THAT PROVIDE AN ADVANCED SLIPWHICH HELPS TO NOURISH AND DETANGLE NATURALLY CURLY HAIR

 $4.50

Our experience:

This is a light hair butter with a slight marshmallow scent due to the marshmallow root used in it. It slides so nicely through the hair and helps de-tangling tremendously. This worked well for detangling my little girls hair but it's not really too thick to use in hair that is less textured than hers so it would be good for finer hair types as well!

I cannot believe the price!! You should stock up on these two products before they make it big and are forced to increase the price because Jelly Beary makes AWESOME products with an even better price tag!









HAPPY HAIR IS WHAT YOUR CHILDREN NEED. JELLY BEARY WAS FORMULATED TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL MAINTENANCE OF YOUR CHILD'S HAIR.

APRICOT KERNEL OIL- soothes scalp and moisturizes
ORGANIC COCONUT MILK- moisturizer

AVOCADO OIL- nourishes hair,promotes hair growth


$4.50



Our experience:  I like the hair butter but I LOVE the marshmallow hair treat!!! My daughter is very into the scent of her products and she kept trying to taste this one...lol. We think it smells just like a rice crispy treat!!! MMMM!!!

This product is a bit thicker than the hair butter and definitely helps detangle. It make J's curls look so shiny and pretty and brought out the curl pattern wonderfully!! Her hair felt so soft!! At $4.50 this is not a great value....IT'S A STEAL! MUST TRY!! 5/5!!
