Acure Organics Review and Giveaway!

 
As I have gotten older I have developed allergies to many skin care products and soaps.  This is really annoying because it causes me to break out in itchy eczema all over my hands which are exposed the most, and also finding makeup and facial cleanser is really difficult.  I say I "developed" allergies but an even more likely cause is the companies changing their ingredients.  Many producers are changing to cheaper products because of the economy.  Rather than raise prices they prefer to keep them the same but sacrifice quality.
 
When Acure Organics offered to let me try their products I was a little nervous as I always am when trying anything new skincare wise.  "Am I going to make me have a reaction?" is always a thought in my mind.
 
Here is a blurb on Acure Organics:

We're on a mission...

We like to believe that we create the purest, natural and organic plant-based skincare products. Simplicity is the key to our formulas. In keeping each ingredient as close to its natural state as possible, we feel that our products deliver visible, more potent results. Each decision we make is based upon our three guiding principles: 



ACURE FOR YOUR SKIN

High quality skin care made from the purest, fair trade, natural and certified organic ingredients.  

ACURE FOR THE PLANET

We have a sustainable company culture that impacts every decision we make.

• Green packaging

• Green products

• Social Consciousness

• Triple Bottom Line

ACURE FOR A CURE

Each day, we are bombarded by harmful chemicals in cosmetic products. ACURE wants to help eliminate people’s exposure to toxic chemicals in cosmetics and help educate them on the benefits of food-grade, organic ingredients. 
 
That sounds pretty amazing huh?  They sent me several products to try but the first I sampled was the lemongrass + moroccan argan oil firming body lotion $9.99.  I have a terrible time finding lotions because so many of them cause me to break out in hives.  I was thrilled to find that Acure's body lotion not only didn't cause any break outs but is a lovely lotion as well.  I really liked the lemon scent which is very uplifting.  It absorbs right in and left my hands especially feeling smooth and soothed.  Acure Organics is Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, Cruelty Free, Gluten Free, and contains no Synthetic Fragrance!  This is probably why I had no reactions! It is by far the best body lotion I have tried ever.

They also sent me their coconut pumpkin body wash ,  lemongrass + argan stem cell conditioner   and the lemongrass + argan stem cell shampoo.  I tried all three and was impressed with each.  Just a note on the Coconut Pumpkin Body Wash, it doesn't smell like either pumpkin or coconut.  It is however super rich and moisturizing on my skin!  I loved it!  The Lemongrass and Argan Shampoo and Conditioner were great too.  The lemon smell is so invigorating and clean.  It doesn't leave a residue and our hair was shiny and smooth after drying.






I saved the best for last!  Argan oil has been in the news everywhere of late and many companies are jumping on the Argan Oil Band Wagon.  Of course they only put a tiny bit into their products and label it as argan oil!  Acure sells a pure argan oil that is used for improving the skin. 

A true skin SUPER FOOD! Incredibly rich in Vitamin E, Essential Fatty Acids, and Proteins, Argan Oil helps fight lines, repair imperfections, minimize scars + stretch marks; all while restoring texture, elasticity and tone. Lightweight and easily absorbed! This oil is often referred to as "liquid gold" so get yourself some beauty bling!  

I liked the Argan Oil allot.  It absorbs quickly so you don't feel greasy and it helped my skin so much!  No breakout either!

In Conclusion:

I would recommend Acure Organics to anyone looking for reasonably priced, high quality organic beauty products.   These would make a lovely Christmas gift for someone special in your life!

  16. I love moroccan oil for my hair so I would love the leave-in conditioner spray. It makes your hair look good for longer so washing and drying aren't needed so often. I love that especially in winter time.
