The awesome folks at Garden Botanika provided me with 4 products to try out! They have great products that are free of some pretty yucky stuff. Some products are free of Phtalates, Gluten, Artificial dyes, and some are even Vegan!
Step 1 Balancing Gel Cleanser 6 fl. oz.
This cleanser is infused with invigorating Orange Oil, Algae Extract, Antioxidant-rich Acai Berry and Green Tea extracts. It foams up nicely and leaves your skin feeling clean, but not dried out.
It is free of SLS, Parabens, Gluten, Glycols, Phthalates, and Artificial dyes…and it’s Vegan!
Step 2 Balancing Neutralizing Tonic 6.25 fl. oz.
This is mild toner that doesn’t sting. It has Walnut Seed and Echinacea extracts and also has Pathenol and Aloe to soothe. It feels like it’s cleaning out your pores, but not drying your skin out.
It’s free of Parabens, Gluten, Glycols, PEG’s, Phthalates, and Artificial dyes, and just like the cleanser it’s Vegan!
Step 3 – Balancing Daily Moisturizer 1.6 fl. oz.
The moisturizer is lightweight. It’s not heavy at all. It feels as good as it smells. It also has Orange Oil, Echinacea Root Extract, Green Tea and Acai Berry. My skin feels smooth after using this.
The moisturizer is also Vegan! It’s free of Parabens, Gluten, Alcohol, Glycols, PEG’s, Phthalates, Artificial dyes.
Pumpkin masque 5 oz.
It’s not like the masque you may be used to, where you put it on your face and it gets hard. Instead, this one warms up as you rub it in…I got scared for a moment thinking it was going to get hotter and hotter lol. It got warm then it dissipated. It’s the coolest thing! It has granules for exfoliation. I loved the smell of this as well. It smelled like I shoved my face into a pumpkin pie! It has real Pumpkin enzymes.
Paraben and Gluten Free.
I can’t say enough about the smell of these products. The orange smell of the 1-2-3 Balancing products is amazing! I wish my face could smell like that all day! My face feels smoother since using these products. I give Garden Botanika skin care The Frugal Fairy seal of approval!
