-- Product Review --  I am a big fan of essential oils, so when Lusine Grigoryan of Elaia Beauty LLC (based in Hollandale Beach, Florida - USA) connected with me about reviewing their product I was thrilled. We arranged for me to review their argan, rosehip and jojoba oil products around July 3 rd ; the product arrived sometime after or around July 7​th I'm not sure of the exact date, however it was there for us when Dave visited the US postal service on his next trip which was July 11th. The products arrived in appropriately sized brown paperboard boxes that had no additional inks, printing or labeling other than a small identification and bar code label on one side. The boxes easily collapsed for compact recycling. Each box included a single sheet of paper printed on one side (non gloss paper) with additional information about the oil in each box. This impressed me because the packaging is great for the environment, is easily recycled (or compos...

-- Product Review --  We first started speaking with Kari Hairston of Radha Beauty about their Premium Tea Tree Oil product on May 20th and it we confirmed the review project soon after that. It was ordered on May 21st and arrived on May 27th at the US postal service just across the border (we’re a few miles north of the US border). The product arrived in a 2” wide - by - 5.5” long - by - 2” high white cardboard box. Inside, there was only a small square of plastic bubble wrap to protect the large blue glass bottle and the clear glass dropper, which has a rubber top. Upon doing some research on the company and this product I found out some really interesting things. First – their tea tree oil is “100% pure and natural essential oil, therapeutic grade – the best tea tree oil on the market, produced through steam distillation of fresh leaves”. Impressive, right? I have always loved tea tree oil – it is...

-- Product Review -- After speaking with Kevin Kramer and Gary Kramer, of the SKLEER team, on April 15 th - I received the 30 ml/1oz. container of the product (arrived April 23 rd ) as well as a sample puck which I intend to keep refilled and in our camping/traveling supplies. I also received an informative pamphlet. SKLEER – Skin Conditioning Gel has all natural ingredients and does not contain any parabens, preservatives, lanolin, hydroquinone, corticosteroids, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, retinoic acid or benzoyl peroxide. According to the company information, “ it contains a combination of essential oils: eucalyptus, tea tree, caraway, cinnamon and cardamom that work synergistically together to assist healing.” Interestingly, the patent pending gel is formulated to carry the healing ingredients to the lower levels of the skin, making the product more effective than it could have been without the gel. This dermatologically appr...
