Human Nature Strengthening Shampoo

If you were named “Curlylocks,” from the day you came out from your mother’s womb (just like me),   one of your daily necessities is a curl definer.  Curl definer is something that my hair can’t live without. However, putting on such chemical on my hair is the major cause of my hair fall.  I tried several products but they did no good.  So when I signed-up for Human Nature’s Dealership Program, hair strengthener was one of the products I looked for, and that’s how I got introduced to Human Nature’s Hair Strengthening Products. 

Strengthening Shampoo and Body Wash with Aloe Vera and Pearl Powder

Available in 2 scents: Peppermint and Rosemary

Price: 50ml – Php39.75; 200ml – 119.75 , 500ml - 274.75

How Human Nature describes it                      

• Save your hair before it’s’ too late! Pearl Powder, a health and beauty secret thousands of years old, helps strengthen hair to dramatically reduce hair fall.  A good dose of aloe vera further promotes hair growth.
• No parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLES, Formaldehyde, or other toxic substances

Rating: 4.1/5.0

I’ve been using this for 6 months now.  It left my hair dry for the first 3 months, and for the first few months, I always had to use conditioner. It came to a point that I almost gave up using this product. But then I told myself to be patient and wait until I see the results.  So I waited for a few more months, now I am writing about it.  

The things that I like and I don't:

• Love the invigorating scent of Peppermint
• Less hair fall (I didn’t say no more hair fall ;))
• Small amount goes a long way
• Softer curls
• Scalp was itchy in the first few months only 
• Didn't get dandruff
• When I reached the 6th month, I can skip conditioner 2s or 3s a week
• Scent doesn't stay unlike the non-organic products (I hope they can improve on this because I want a shampoo that leaves a fresh scent even after work hours.)
• I didn't like the Rosemary Scent; smells like a cleansing agent for me hehe

Tip

I use the following products for maximum effect

Strengthening Conditioner

Price: 200ml - Php144.75, 500ml - Php 289.75

and Intensive Hair Mask with Gugo and Avocado
Price: 50grams - Php99.75, 200grams - Php299.75

Overall, I can't say that this is the most effective organic hair strengthening product. I haven't really explored much but with its' price and results it gave my hair, I can give this an above average rating.   I sometimes use this as a body wash since Pearl Powder is very beneficial to the skin. It keeps the skin smooth, clear and glowing and prevents the growth of melanin  However,  I wonder if this can whiten my skin if I will use this religiously. Hmmm. I might as well try it myself lol.

Have you tried this as a body wash? Any whitening or lightening effects? I would love to hear your thoughts. 

Love Minerals Passionfruit Hydrating Lipstick

Human Heart Nature recently launched the Love Minerals Passionfruit Lipstick.

               



Regular Price: Php 245.00
Introductory Price: Php 195


Available in 4 shades: Pink Skies (for Pinks/Mauves), Sweet Nectar(for Neutrals), Coral Kiss (for Peaches/Corals),and Earth Angel (for Browns)


How Human Nature Describes it
Most lipsticks contain an array of toxic chemicals such as lead, carmine from crushed insects and mineral oil, which speeds up ageing in skin and lips.  Passionfruit oil is a perfect natural moisturizer for kissable lips without ageing side effect.
Some of the ingredients are Passion Fruit seed Oil, Sunflower Oil, Cocoa Butter, Beeswax and Rice Bran Oil

Product Rating:  3.7/5.0

• 100% natural
• No yucky taste and smell
• Creamy texture
• A moisturizing and shimmer lipstick
• Sheer finish (I am not sure but this is what it gives to my lips)
• Day and work lipstick 
• Minimal lip dryness/perfect for chapped lips
• Perfect to blend with darker lip colors (use it as base for minimal lip dryness)
• Staying power is only up to 3 hours (Based on research, shimmer/moisturizing lipsticks easily wear-off and reallly needs reapplication because it is similar to tinted lip balms.)
• Only 4 shades to choose from :( but you can experiment your own color by blending these shades
• Pink Skies is too light for my skin tone

Here are the swatches.

Overall,  I use Sweet Nectar shade as my work lipstick. The product is perfect for everyday use because I love the benefits I can get from its' organic ingredients. The fact that it is called a hydrating lipstick, it helps minimize the appearance of lines on my lips.

Human Nature Products: The Advocacy to Support Gawad Kalinga

I was never a fan of organic beauty products until I discovered Human Nature Products under Gandang Kalikasan Incorporated. Human Nature is not new.  They have been in the business for a couple of years and I think it was just few months back when they gained popularity in the market.  When I saw their catalogue, their Philosophy “Pro Philippines, Pro Poor, Pro Environment” caught my attention. They are Pro Philippines because they do all their efforts to source as much raw materials locally, Pro Poor because most of their workers are from Gawad Kalinga Community ,and Pro Environment because of the organic ingredients that are better for our bodies and the environment.  I read through the catalogue and a lot of things amazed me that led me to becoming one of their dealers.  I signed-up for Php825 and they gave me a starter kit which I can sell or use that includes their bestseller items (if you are interested to sign-up or buy any HHN Products, please let me know(",)).

What amazes me about Human Nature are the following things:

1.)    Rachel Grant of Die Another Day became a partner of Gawad Kalingan in 2007 and wrote how wonderful her experience is in using Human Nature Products.

2.)    Products are very affordable and perfect for gifts/giveaways.

3.)    Human Nature Catalogue has a list of chemicals that are not healthy for our bodies (will post it soon.)

4.)    I love the fact that Gandang Kalikasan Inc. provided work opportunities to Gawad Kalinga Community.

5.)    They have launched their Mineral Make-up just yesterday (I am soo excited for this!Bad thing  is..I wasn’t able to join their launch because I had work, it’s fine tough).

It’s been 3 weeks since I signed-up for dealership, and guess what?  I can say that I am sooo addicted to Human Nature Products.  I will provide a review of their products in the next few posts!

Have a blessed Sunday Everyone!
