Herbivore caught my eye on Instagram with their Calm Soaking Salts, which I still haven't got my hands on, but instead, I picked up the Coco Rose Luxe Hydration Trio* in the January Sales and what a trio it is.
If you haven't come across the brand, Herbivore is one which uses ingredients for a purpose and they range from French pink clay to Brazilian gemstones. However, what I really loved was the following statement
" we also create our products with personal rejuvenation and a little indulgence in mind. We believe that daily bathing and skincare rituals should be enjoyable — a way to carve out some much-needed downtime in your hectic routine. From thoughtfully designed packaging and labels that really allow our ingredients to shine through, to intoxicating scents and luxurious textures, we truly want you to love your skincare and bathing routines"
Something I couldn't agree with more. Herbivore was founded by husband and wife Alex Kummerow and Julia Wills with a mission to create all-natural skin care that delivers tangible results. Inspired by crystals, colours and Hibiscus tea, most of the products are still conceived in the Seattle kitchen to this day by husband and wife Alex Kummerow and Julia Wills.
The Coco Rose Luxe Hydration Trip contains Coco Rose Body Polish 112ml, Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist 30ml, Coco Rose Lip Conditioner 5g (£39) and it has been a great introduction to the brand.
The Coco Rose Body Polish is described as being a highly moisturising and gently exfoliating blend of Virgin Coconut Oil and delicately floral Moroccan Rose and it smells just absolutely incredible and the texture is even better.
There are five main ingredients within this body polish which includes:
- Virgin Coconut Oil: Rich in fatty acids, Lauric Acid, and proteins to provide intensive hydration.
- Moroccan Rose: Moroccan Rose helps increase moisture in the skin. It also smells incredible -- light, floral and sweet.
- Shea Butter: Deeply moisturizing and skin softening.
- Pink Clay: In addition to providing Coco Rose with its rosy colour, Pink Clay adds to its benefits by providing a gentle skin detox.
- Sugar: Gently exfoliating and skin softening.
On the skin, the texture is really finely ground and whilst it is slightly abrasive. I use a spatula from another product to use the amount I need and once it has been applied to the skin, you simply leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing off. This is one of the best body polishes I have used in such a long time and I have already bought a second one.
The second product within the trio is the Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist and for me, a face mist is an absolute must-have product. I always ensure I have a mist on my bedside table and on my desk at work.
From Herbivore we have a facial mist which is described as being formulated for all skin types and it is both hydrating and refreshing and it has three main ingredients.
- Coconut Water: In Hawaiian, Coconut Water is known as “Noelani,” which translates to “dew from the heavens." Instantly hydrating and replenishing due to high levels of amino acids, Coconut Water contains skin-refreshing cytokines and lauric acid to refresh and hydrate skin.
- Hibiscus Flower Extract: Rich in malic and citric acid to provide natural light exfoliation resulting in a visually more even skin tone. A natural humectant, Hibiscus Flower Extract promotes firmness and elasticity in the skin.
- Rose Water: Steam distilled from thousands of petals per ounce of beautiful red Moroccan roses, our rose water helps to hydrate and refresh skin.
As you can imagine from the ingredients, the scent is just incredible and I've become quite obsessed with it ever since I bought it, to the point that I have a backup. What I love about the mist is that it doesn't soak you through when it is spritzed and it is incredibly light, but enough to refresh and hydrate the skin.
Finally, we have the Coco Rose Lip Conditioner and if you are a fan of lip balms, then this is an absolute must try product.
Herbivore describes the Lip Conditioner as being a Lightweight and deeply moisturizing lip hydrating treatment and this time there are two main ingredients which are:
- Virgin Coconut Oil: Virgin Coconut Oil is rich in fatty acids, Lauric Acid and proteins to provide intensive hydration to the lips. Also, smells and tastes delicious—a true all-natural coconut scent and flavour.
- Moroccan Rose Absolute: Moroccan Rose increases hydration. It also smells and tastes incredible. Light, floral, and sweet.
The scent of rose within this product is really subtle rather than being overpowering, but it is still just wonderful. Firm to the touch, you need to run your finger over the product to melt it, which it does pretty quickly and because of its light pink colour, it can be used as a stand-alone product or you can apply it over your lipstick for added hydration.
This has been an incredible trio of products, from which I have already repurchased all of them in bigger sizes because I have really enjoyed using them. Next on my list is the bath salts and the Lapis Balancing Facial Oil which sounds divine.
