SUPERDRUG COCONUT OIL

Advantages: Cheap and does the job!
Disadvantages: Slight articifical Coconut smell, packaging needs revamping.

...to use Superdrug Coconut Oils by a good friend of mine. She said that it is not a miracle product that can heal the injury of my hair, but it can prevent it from more damages until I have the gut to visit a hairdresser. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE PACKAGING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have no choice but to buy it. I wasn't too impressed with the look of packaging. It looks like some baby petroleum jelly! The only reason I didn't mistake it is because it was among the hair products. It is in a small white plastic mini tub of 100ml, which looked pretty cheap and tacky. Unfortunately I can't remember how much it cost exactly; it was only a couple of pounds maximum. The lid is seal with a plastic ring around the tub and once you have opened it, you can still close the tub with a 'click'. Re-opening isn't always easy, as it has a small beak...

Review of Superdrug Coconut Oil

Superdrug Coconut Oil for dry skin and hair.

Advantages: continuous using does wonders to hair and skin,natural treatment
Disadvantages: availability

...Traditionally coconut oil is recommended for a healthy hair.Superdrug Coconut Oil is not only good for the hair ,but it is also good for the skin.Few drops of coconut oil applied to the dry elbows and knees for half an hour just before having bath does wonders to the skin.It is good for the dry skin. Superdrug Coconut oil is a pure oil extracted from the dry pieces of coconut.

Review of Superdrug Coconut Oil

Boots coconut and Almond oil shampo is great value for money

Advantages: Georgeous smell, lovely rich texture
Disadvantages: Packaging is a little plain

...I love this product, its thick and creamy leaving your hair feeling clean and smelling amazing. The coconut and almond blends well together, making the aroma noticeable without being overwhelming. I'm pretty sure it's great for all hair types, but works wonders if your scalp and hair is dry, this is due to the almond oil.This product will leave your hair feeling moisturized and nourished. I always tend to go for the major brand products, which are very expensive, so I was really pleased to find a product that was cheap but still good quality. I would definitely recommend this product, save your pennies and go to boots to get your shampoo...the conditioner is great too. You dont have spend loads of money to care for your hair....

Review of Boots Coconut and Almond Oil Creme Shower

Naked Bodies and Coconut Oil

Advantages: Easy to apply, non greasy
Disadvantages: None, unless you don't like coconut

...Whether you're heading off for a holiday abroad, or holding out hope that Britain will one day surpass itself and provide a few days of glorious weather, you need to be prepared for the sun. I'm not against paying for a decent product with a high sun protection factor, consider it an insurance policy against health problems such as dry wrinkly skin, and worse of course the risk of skin cancer. But, it does annoy me that many manufacturers push the prices right up for no good reason, other than making an extra few quid out of peoples rightful concern for their own well being. Calypso offer affordable priced sun protection in the shape of their Dry Oil Spray range. Available in SPF (sun protection factor) 4, 8, 15, and 20, the oil offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays, and comes in an 250ml spray bottle, at the recommended...

Yummy coconut shampoo

Advantages: Smells delicious, works well, no nasty ingredients, low price
Disadvantages: none

...used to in a shampoo, so I have found myself using just a little more than I would with other, generally harsher, shampoos (being environment-conscious, I normally use as little as I can get away with!) Ingredients As listed on the bottle, plus my definitions: AQUA (WATER) SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (a foaming agent - i.e. a detergent) COCAMIDE DEA (another foaming agent - derived from coconuts) LAURYL BETAINE (a detergent - derived from vegetable matter) GLYCOL DISTEARATE (a thickening agent - a type of alcohol?)

Review of Inecto Pure Coconut Oil Moisture Infusing Shampoo

Bio Oil

Advantages: Reduces stretchmarks, uneven skin tone, scars etc
Disadvantages: A little bit expensive but worth it

...I have been using Bio Oil twice a day for the last six months and I am amazed at the results. I had never heard of Bio Oil before until my mum bought me a bottle, she bought me a bottle of it because I was forever complaining about the appearance of the stretch marks I have on my belly and boobs. My stretch marks started appearing at the age of seventeen when I was pregnant my son and I'm now twenty two. So for the last five years I have been really embarrassed by the look of them because they were bright purple and clearly visible. I was convinced that the stretch marks would always remain the same colour and never fade, I even nicknamed my stretch marked belly, I call it my Freddie Crougar belly. Bio Oil is an oil based substance which can be used to treat and reduce the appearance of skin problems such as scars stretch marks...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

coconuts candles and wine!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I really like the Original source shower gels so when I spotted a bottle of Original Source Almond and coconut bath foam for just £1 in my local Tesco, I decided to give it a try. Original Source makes a range of products including shower gels, shampoos and deodorants. They only use pure and natural essential oils or natural extracts and they are a member of both the Aromatherapy council and the Vegan society. On their web site the company says they source as much as possible from the U.K. Original source have a very clever marketing strategy, advertising their products as environmentally friendly .natural products. Original Source Almond and coconut bath foam comes in a rather plain looking 500ml plastic bottle. The bath foam is a sort of beige colour and doesn?t really look that appealing to be honest! The bottle has a screw top...

Review of Original Source Almond & Coconut Bath Foam

Coconut moisture? Yes, please!

Advantages: the SMELL of course... and all the rest!
Disadvantages: none whatsoever.

..., keep on reading this review and I will give you a clear hint what to do to keep at least your hands young! INECTO MOISTURE MIRACLE HAND & NAIL CREAM! I found this particular cream by utter accident; I was shopping in one of those 99p places and spotted it on a shelf. I like the smell of coconuts (and this product claims to contain "100% coconut oil"), so picked it, took a sniff and... wow. That was it. A sweet, fresh coconut scent, mixed with aromas of caramel and vanilla, all of them ever so natural and mouth-watering. You can't say it doesn't sound delicious... and neither can I, so as the cream cost only 99 pence, I decided to give it a go - even if it turned out to be terrible, at least I wouldn't lose a fortune! As soon as I left the shop, I put the cream on my hands. It was a cold, windy morning in December and I forgot my...

Review of Inecto Pure Coconut Oil Hand and Nail Cream

I smell a loverly smell of coconuts...

Advantages: coconut smell reminder of holidays, moisturises, easy to apply
Disadvantages: not cheap

...I absolutely adore the smell of coconut oil- and this is becasue it reminds me of my holidays and the summer - suntan lotion, warm breezes, relaxation..blah blah blah. Great! I walked into the Body Shop at Leeds railway station some weeks ago and could smell this delicious aroma coming from one part of the shop- my feet made their own way over there. I was feeling a bit stressed- work is very busy at the moment so I wanted to be able to forget these worries for a while. Sprayed it on and I was transported..........away to beaches- not at all like Leedsrailway station so I came down to earth with a bump! WHAT IS IT? Well, this is a body spray that is made with sesame oil, from Nigeria, under COMMUNITY TRADE- this is where the people who grow and sell the stuff get a fairer price than if they went through the usual channels. It...

Review of The Body Shop Coconut Dry Oil Mist

Olbas Oil

Advantages: Cheap, seems to be working
Disadvantages: None

...It?s that time of year again, cold and flu season and unfortunately I have caught my husband?s man flu. I wrote last week how I bought him some tissues with Olbas oil in them and that I was looking after him through his illness. Well I, unlike him, and not on my death bed and do not need constant care, as all men do with man flu but I do need something to sort out my blocked nose. It?s so infuriating when you cannot breathe and so I really needed something that would unblock my stuffy nose. I have always used Vicks in the past but had heard that Olbas Oil might be a little bit stronger and after using the tissues the other week could definitely smell them and recommended them for unblocking noses so I decided to give the ordinary Olbas Oil a try. Olbas oil is an inhalant decongestant. According to their website Olbas is a special...
