This facial moisturizer fit my requirements perfectly. Before I even received my order, I got an email from Teri (with the Miyahira Media Group) letting me know my jar was on its way, letting me know she was there if I had any problems, and giving me this reminder
REMINDER: When opening the product for the first time, please be careful in case of spilling. Because of the 100% organic content of ingredients, the product may have soften or melt/liquify depending on how hot it is in your area. Simply place the container in the refrigerator for 24-72 hours (the longer the refrigeration, the more solid the product gets). However, using it in a softened/liquid state does not reduce the hydrating abilities or nutrient content :)
So since I was ordering in July, I expected it to come liquefied. It did come liquefied, but unfortunately, the jar leaked quite a bit before it got to me. However, it was fully wrapped in bubble wrap, so none of the oils got onto anything except for this envelope of plastic bubble wrap! It would have been almost impossible for this jar to have gotten damaged during shipping! I tried to open it, but decided to not risk it, put it straight into the fridge, and emailed Teri back. I let her know that I wasn't looking for anything, I just wanted to inform her that it had leaked. She immediately sent me a replacement jar, apologized greatly for it leaking, and asked me to let her know if I had any other problems.
The second jar came. It was also liquefied, but it was only very slightly oily on the outside of the jar. I didn't waste any time and put it straight into the fridge. I did what the company recommends and pulled it out after 24 hrs to stir it with a wooden stick (a wood skewer this time) before chilling it for another 24 hrs. I plan to keep it in the fridge most of the time simply because it gets hot here in Colorado.
Now onto reviewing the actual product!
Ingredients (short names, see below for full names)
Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Rosehip Fruit Oil, Calendula Flower Extract, Clary Sage Oil, Ylang Ylang Oil, Frankincense Oil, Geranium Oil
I've done a little research on Essential Oils (again, started when I was pregnant...ah, the things that pregnancy brings on) and these are all excellent for the skin. If I was pregnant, I would be a little cautious about the Clary Sage simply because it can bring on contractions (it would probably take a lot more than what you'd use on your face, but I'm the cautious type and wouldn't want to risk it).
The scent is very mild, and I really truly appreciate that! So many moisturizers, are heavily scented and have ingredients that I am horribly allergic to. This one doesn't have any of that. I am able to use it and not spend hours with my nose running because of the scent or my skin itching because of some ingredient or another.
It does take a while to fully soak in. I don't wear makeup, so this doesn't matter to me. To me, it doesn't feel oily even while it is soaking in. It takes very little (they recommend a pea sized glob, but I don't even use that most of the time) to cover your entire face and somewhat down your neck. It will take months to use this entire jar.
Overall, this is a great product with even better customer service. I highly recommend it.
I received the product mentioned above for free or greatly discounted in exchange for my review. Regardless, I only recommend products I like and use personally.
