I am always searching for natural skincare and bodycare but most of the time it can be pretty pricey however MBotanicals is a minimalist skincare and bodycare brand that uses natural, organic and raw ingredients in their products but they are reasonably priced, in my opinion for such high quality, natural products! I was very kindly sent a couple of products and I have to say, I adore the packaging and the minimal design!
First up, my favourite product, the *MBotanicals Uplifting Sugar Body Balm (£18) which is a sugar body scrub containing mango butter, bergamot, geranium and frankincense. The scrub smells amazing, so fresh and floral! The scrub is very thick and gritty so it is an amazing exfoliator but it isn't too abrasive. I've been loving it for my legs, feet and arms. The scrub combined with a rich lotion have got rid of most of the little bumps I had on the back of my arms - amazing! You don't need a lot of product each time but I always do as I love the feeling of super smooth and cleansed skin. It's one of the best body scrubs I've ever used! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5!
I also have the *MBotanicals Natural Handmade Soap in Denim (£4.50) which is actually the colour of denim jeans - such a unique soap 'scent'. The soap contains some of the following scents/ingredients: ylang flower oil, patchouli, kaolin (clay) and shea butter. As with the scrub, I love the basic and minimal packaging of the soap. The soap smells very earthy and slightly musky which are definitely the kinds of scents I love especially at this time of the year. As with all soap, I cut it into smaller blocks so that the whole bar doesn't wear away in the bathroom at once - with the smaller chunks, I can just use what I want, when I want. The soap lathers really well for being a natural product and it leaves my hands super clean but slightly dry although I do have very dry hands anyway so I just use hand cream afterwards. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Overall, I LOVE the design of the products and the natural ingredients. The scrub is my favourite product and I would definitely recommend it, not just because it looks and smells amazing but it is very effective too. The soap lathers well for a natural soap and it smells great but it is a little drying. MBotanicals has a great range of products, here's my mini wish list:
Have you tried any products from MBotanicals? What are your favourite natural beauty products/brands?
