Random Soaps Haul: Miss Kat, Be Organic, and Milea All Organics

I bought these from one online shop which offers a variety of soaps and some Korean and Japanese cosmetics. I feel like I am inside a candy store! Though I would love to buy everything I see, I try to as be as reasonable as I could in which soaps I would try. I would love to visit their shop in La Union one of these days, but for now, I ought to make a purchase online, pay through bank, and wait for my package.

UPDATE: February 6, 2014

Neither of these soaps were used on the face.

I used ALL of these as a body soap.

I cannot give my opinion on how it benefits for the face.

ALL ORGANICS Rosehips Cream

I had to pick another moisturizing night cream aside from the Human Heart Nature Night Cream. I wanted to use a serum, but since I'm on a tight budget, I had to try something that is affordable till I found the All Organics Rosehips Cream in several kiosks in Manila and an online shop few months back. I would love to try a product with a rosehip in it, so I had to pick this one up and see.

Use daily as a moisturizer before bedtime. You will notice your skin get firmer and fairer. Helps lighten blemishes.  

Ingredients: Aloe Vera Leaf juice, Rosehip Oil, Seaweed Extract, Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate (organic emulsifier from Olive), Vitamin E, Green Tea Extract, Ginseng Extract, Avocado Extract, Gluconolactone and Sodium Benzoate (organic preservative) Olive Leaf Extract  

Php195 for a 30ml bottle.

I've been using this moisturizer for 4-5 months, and though I don't have wrinkles (yet), I can't much say such result regarding about smoothening wrinkles, but it is a good lightweight moisturizer. It comes in a small bottle with a convenient pump. If you smell closely, it kind of brings you back to a scent of a glue. Nothing alarming to the point to put you off!

It sinks in the skin quickly without any greasy feeling. After I apply a dab of eye cream and my toner, I apply a pea size on my face, neck and especially around my décolletage.

I never forget that area because it is one of the first signs of aging as well as the hands. Any product I apply that helps my face supple, I never forget my décolletage and at the back of my hands. I set it for few minutes to absorb and I top it off with my Human Heart Nature Night Cream.

What I didn't liked about the product, however, once the product almost runs out, it gets tricky how to get to the last drop because the cream sticks to the sides and the bottom of the bottle! I tried scooping it out but it is just difficult. I was thinking of cutting the packaging to get the rest of the goods! One of these days, I am going to cut this bottle in half!

I do also hope I may find a larger bottle of All Organics Rosehips Cream in the market. I find the 30ml just wasn't enough for me. It is a good traveling size though.

I don't rave so much on the product, but I find it okay. Helps keep the skin nice and fresh by morning.

Milea All Organics Natural Avocado Natural Oil

I've always wanted to use a natural oil for my face, but I was skeptical to use such because I do have oily skin and it could cause more harm than good. I did my (mini) research online a year ago, and it turns out it has a positive effect for the skin.

While doing my online shopping, I decided to pick this MILEA Avocado Natural Oil and try it out. I know this is a "no turning back" experience once I bought it, but hey, this is now or never! Skin care is all about experimenting which product(s) suits your skin the most.

I love avocado! They are packed with nutrients, and has one of the healthiest fats around. I love it on my salad, for guacamole, or even eat it on its own. Seeing this in an oil form is a treat for me!

According to their website, this product is a/an:

After-Bath Body Oil; Food for Dehydrated, Undernourished Skin; Wound and Burn Soother and Healer.

Avocado oil penetrates the skin more deeply than other oils transporting nutrients through the outer epidermis of the skin and into the dermis. Great for mature, sensitive or troubled skin.

I bought it for Php190 in 30ml. I've been this for 2-3 months for my face and neck*, and all I can say is, my skin LOVED this product! It is greasy because it is oil, but despite that it is an oil, it didn't caused my skin redness, clogged pores nor break-outs. My oily skin is no hindrance for this oil! It did feel a little heavy on the skin, but I got used to it every time I use it. It made my skin dewy and hydrated from the inside-out! A little bit goes a long way!

* Didn't I mention I can be a little rebel when it comes to my skin care products? I prefer to listen what my skin needs; read the labels before I purchase, do a research online, and dive in what my skin needs the most. However, there is a separate oil I use for my body, but it still needs a little test drive before I do a full review about it. *

I like to use this product, whenever I feel my skin needs a boost after my bath, and when I am staying inside the house for the day. A little bit of oil glides smoothly all over the face and neck. It is oil, and I imagine how hard it is to have a shiny face out in the public; leaving the house with an oil on the face is a not a good idea. Plus, it doesn't have SPF (of course since it's OIL).

I just love this oil! Such a great find, for such an affordable and natural skin care product. This will surely last for me for few months. Worth every penny!

I do also want to try their other oils from MILEA... and I am thinking on going for the Moringa Natural Oil. LOL! Can't wait for that!

ALL ORGANICS Bath Soaps

I love organic soaps! I'm always for a hunt to try (and love) soaps from different brands that I may fancy.

Today, I am to review the ALL ORGANIC BATH SOAPS. I've seen these soaps for years now, and I now finally bought some of their soaps to try. I haven't used all of soaps (yet), but I did tried some. It makes me excited to take a shower and give my skin that love it needs.

Each soaps has its own specific skin needs, but has its sole purpose: keeping the skin clean, moisturized, and fight free-radicals! I would highly suggest to read the description of every soap before purchasing. For example: the LEMONGRASS & GINGER SOAP Lemongrass tones and deodorizes. Ginger relaxes nerves and relieves muscle and joint pains; GLUTATHIONE SOAP Detoxifies, clarifies and moisturizes skin, making it clearer and whiter; SEA WEED SKIN FIRMING SOAP Sea weed has been known to make skin firm and healthy. It is used in many slimming products; ACAPULCO SOAP Acapulco kills most of fungus, bacteria and yeast. The benefits of Acapulco on skin is treating skin diseases such as Tinea infections, insect bites, ringworms, eczema, scabies and itchiness.; TEA TREE & ALOE VERA SOAP Active against all three varieties of infectious organisms: bacteria, fungi and viruses. Helps acne & athlete's foot. Properties include anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti- viral, and non others. Removes other skin blemishes; SALT & TURMERIC FOOT SCRUB SOAP Detoxifies, Improves Blood Circulation, Helps Heal Wounds & Skin Disease; MALUNGGAY SOAP High in anti-oxidants, Malunggay helps retain youthful glow and helps skin heal itself.

See what I mean? 

** Please bare with me that I can't give out much opinion on these soaps that claims to fight skin problems (bacteria, viruses, etc). I haven't used neither of these soaps nor knows someone who does so. **

I've also tried some soaps, which unfortunately, I didn't took a snap-shot first: Coffee Orange Bath Soap, Pineapple Cucumber Bath Soap, Olive Bath Soap, and the Shea Bath Soap. 

According to their website:

Regular cleansing and cleaning of the body is very important. Cleansing and cleaning washes away the dirt, sweat trapped in the pores to allow the skin to breath easily. It also removes the dead cells to make the skin soft and glowing. 

One generally uses beauty soap available in the market for this process. The outer skin is very sensitive and delicate, so utmost care should be taken not to expose it to harsh chemicals. Regular soaps available in the market are manufactured by the process of mixing and heating oils and lye, to this is added some synthetic fragrance. But the regular soap is not as good as it is professed to be. In fact it does more harm then good.

• Regular soaps over-cleanse the skin and make it dry, rough, often scaly, and sometimes itchy. The extra lye raises the skin's natural pH level, which in turn depletes the natural moisture. Moistures are the natural barriers that protect the skin, if this barrier is compromised, and then the skin's immune system becomes weak and vulnerable to toxins, pollutants, bacteria, and viruses. 

• The skin also gets affected by the oils, present in most of the soaps. These artificial oils, can most of the time infiltrate the skin and create free radicals, including brown spots and irregular pigment. The free radicals speed up aging, weaken skin health and vibrancy, and make the skin vulnerable to sun damage. 

• Toxic ingredients can cause a huge damage to the skin, especially after they penetrate, and gather in the body. Much soap are treated with chemicals to increase their shelf life, some chemicals are known to be carcinogens. 

There is a better alternative to regular bathing soap. All Organics offers a luxurious, natural-soap bars with fruits and vegetables extract. This hand-milled bar makes the skin feel softer, and healthier than ever before. 

The natural soap bar is altogether different from and superior to regular soaps. The natural-soap bars contains fruit and vegetable extract, which cleanses the body without depleting its natural oil or moisture, hence the immune system does not get compromised, and in fact it gets optimized.  

As it is 100% natural, it does not contain rancid oils and chemicals. Our soap bars contains 16 times more natural glycerin than most bar soaps, and also contains Virgin Coconut Oil, and other organically pure essential oils. These natural ingredients nurture the skin, renew its moisture balance, and fortify the immune system. These bars does not contain any 

chemicals, so it is ideal for the whole family, even for babies. 

All Organics Soap Bars Contain:

• 100% fresh fruit and natural vegetable extracts

• Up to 16 times more natural glycerin than other soaps

• Consistent pH and moisture levels.

• No rancid oils or chemicals

• Consistency and hardness from being hand-milled

• Comes in refreshing scents that delight the senses.

These are the bath soaps I have at home. I am currently using the RICE BRAN SOAP. :)

I've been using this brand for about a year now, and I love it! I love that they're organic, and can be found almost anywhere in the Philippines; most of the soaps I bought are from my trusted online seller. I love that it didn't irritate my skin whichever variant I use. I really love that some of the soaps from ALL ORGANICS targeted not only for people who wants to have fairer, young, and moisturized skin, but it also deals for people who has skin problems as well. Easily lathered, while leaving the skin clean, soft and moisturized. However, the soaps are easily melted because they don't have any hardening ingredients, which I suggest after using, leave the soap in a cool, dry place. Each soap weighs 100grams, and costs Php70.

I also love that these soaps has its sample sizes. The Olive Bath Soap was a free sample from an online seller (from repurchasing); she also sent me, one time, the Banana Glutathione Bath Soap. Sadly, I didn't took a picture of it; I've used it, and LOVED that hint of banana scent!

I find it awesome to see that these soaps has its expiration date; check the back to find out the soap's ingredients, and if it still is in its state of freshness! I would also suggest to store them in cool and dry place without the sun's reach.

I don't use any of these soaps for my face. (I just don't feel like it.) :]

Until now, I don't have a specific soap that I may call the best of the best from ALL ORGANICS! I simply LOVE them! I will definitely be repurchasing!
