This is the best eye cream I’ve made so far. The others I’ve made previously with carrot seed oil did not turn out so well. You can read more about the benefits of rosehip for skincare here.

The eye cream goes on nice and smooth.  I’ve been using this for about 1 month and find it’s great for the delicate area of the eye. And this one even has extra virgin coconut oil, so it smells like real coconut too.

It’s a nice natural product with no preservatives or chemicals. And all the plant oils nourishes and protects your skin. The shea butter and beeswax is what holds it all together - naturally! 

I used an old container from another cosmetic company. I never finished their cream as the texture and smell was just too odd.  At least I got to re-use the container.

My body cream review today is Elarila - San Pellegrino Shea Butter Body Cream made with sweet almond milk.  This cream felt more like a salve as it was not soft or buttery, but much denser in texture.  The good part is that it does melt easily right into your skin and does not leave a greasy feeling either.

There are so many good ingredients put into this body cream that you can’t really go wrong.  The only thing I didn’t like was the fragrance.  It’s reminds me of some kind of powdery floral scent.  But it’s not too bad and not too strong either.

This body cream is made with 85% shea butter cocoa butter, as well as almond and avocado oil.  The cream can be applied to your face too.  But that’s probably better in the wintertime when your skin can be extra dry.  I have used it on skin rashes and find they work just as well too.
