KARIDERM - Shea Butter Discovery Kit REVIEW

For the past week I have been discovering the benefits of using organic shea butter on my skin. I came across a Canadian company in Laval, Quebec who have partnered with a women's cooperative of shea butter producers in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Founded in 1998 KARIDERM is a certified organic and fair trade producer of face, body and hair care products made with organic shea butter. I've been testing their Shea Butter Discovery Kit. It does NOT disappoint. The kit is made up of 5 shea butter skin care products including raw organic shea butter. Shea butter is extracted from the fruit of the shea tree found mainly in West Africa. It has been used for centuries by women to nourish and protect skin and hair. To learn more about shea butter and it's benefits, including origins, properties and usage please visit KARIDERM.

Kariderm's Organic Shea Butter has a light natural scent. It can be used on skin and hair and has many uses as a beauty supply or in the medicine cabinet for skin irritations.

Kariderm's superior protection Hand Cream has a nice subtle natural scent likely because of lavender and fennel oils. It goes on smoothly and is absorbed well. It feel's light and not greasy. I may have to switch.

Kariderm's Organic Lip Balm smells delicious likely due to the pure extract of Bourbon vanilla and orange oil. It reminds me of the smell of opening a box of fine assorted chocolates. It leaves a nice gloss on your lips. It feels rich and luscious. It's addictive. Did you know shea butter has naturally occurring UV protection? It nourishes and protects lips year round from sun, wind and cold. 

My favorite is Kariderm's Neutral Natural Soap with shea butter, argan and vitamin E. It's 100% vegan and unscented. It lathers nicely. I use it on my face and body. It cleans gently yet thoroughly without stripping the skin. I just might not be able to live without it. They also have a lavender & a citrus shea butter soap that I want to try.

Kariderm's moisturizing protective Face Cream is a star product within the Kariderm line. It is for all skin types. It has a light natural scent. It is recommended you follow a cleanse, tone and moisturize routine.

I found KARIDERM'S natural skin care products to be of high quality. What is remarkable is their efficacy. Organic shea butter is at or near the top of each products ingredient list. KARIDERM is available in Canada and the US online and in store. Delivery is free everywhere in Canada and the continental US with any purchase of $50 or more! I recommend.

CARINA ORGANICS Review

This is my CARINA ORGANICS experience. I just completed a week of using CARINA ORGANICS Sweet Pea Daily Moisturizing Shampoo along with Sweet Pea Deep Treatment Conditioner. Established in 1972 CARINA ORGANICS is a certified organic and sustainably sourced Canadian hair and skin care products company located in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Shipping Canada wide is $7.99 flat rate and shipping is free on all orders $99+ Canada & the USA. After I placed my order I received an email letting me know that my organic products were being handcrafted. As soon as they were formulated, bottled and ready for shipment I received my tracking number. My toxin free shampoo and conditioner arrived safely. I couldn't wait to use them.

To wet hair I added Sweet Pea Daily Moisturizing Shampoo. The first thing I noticed was the light natural scent. It was not overpowering. I lathered up. I wash my hair the way the salon does with the focus on gently scrubbing the scalp with the finger tips. After rinsing thoroughly I then applied the Sweet Pea Deep Treatment Conditioner with attention to the ends. After about 2 minutes I ran a wide tooth comb through my hair with ease, starting at the ends. And then I gave it a final rinse before patting lightly with a towel to remove the excess water. After allowing my hair to dry I styled as usual.

The results are my hair is incredibly soft and shiny and I was not exposed to all of the toxic chemicals found in synthetic hair products. I care that what goes down the bathroom drain isn't toxic to the environment, the ingredients are sustainably sourced, the plastic bottles are recyclable and it's made in Canada. In conclusion I prefer Carina Organics hair products because they get their cleaning power and lovely scents from ingredients found in nature plus they leave my hair feeling clean and healthy.
