I like to cover products that have an organic background as with more and more news stories coming out, the products on the store often times have so many chemicals and addictives that are harsh if not dangerous, I worry about it. I was happy to agree to provide a review on complimentary products by Skinfood Skincare. Four of the five panel members tried out the samples from Skinfood Skincare. This is good because the ages range from 21, 41, 43 and 69.

The Reviews:
Rainflowers Jojoba Skintonic: Rainflowers Jojoba Skintonic: Golden jojoba oil saturated with the pure flower essences including Jasmine, Tuberose, and Plumeria. Due to the Jojoba oil’s natural antiseptic qualities, The Rainflowers Jojoba Skintonic is an excellent facial cleanser and make up remover for all skin types.
The review team used as a cleanser and make up remover. Stephanie liked how it made her skin very soft and fresh feeling. All agreed that the product left a moisturizing feeling to their faces and was not harsh. The skin varieties of the panel members include normal, dry, oily and combination along with acne proned skin. All skin types tolerated the cleanser with no issues such as redness or drying out. April loves Plumeria so this was a hit for her. It was an oily looking substance but did not leave an oily residue. The aroma was pleasant and not overbearing. Overall, all panel reviewers liked the Rainflowers Jojoba Skintonic.
Gourmet Skinfood and Rosepetal Spritz: The Gourmet Skinfood is a concentrated blend of steam distilled, 100% organic plant oils and extracts. Skinfood supplies proteins, vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients to the skin to help prevent skin aging and to reveal the natural radiance of your skin.

These two products were recommended to be used together. The Spritz goes on without any leftover residue. The Spritz is a combination of plant based essential oils, aloe, other nutrients and purified water. The Spritzers are essential in helping the Skinfood Oils to be effectively absorbed and utilized by the skin The Spritz is available in two heavenly scents. The Rosepetal Spritz has a rose aroma that fades over time.
The Gourmet Skinfood has an oily residue and a strong aroma. It does leave the skin feeling nourished and moisturized. All panel reviewers thought the aroma was a bit strong but not offensive. Overall, all panel reviewers had no adverse reactions to the both products and all thought their skin felt softer and nourished. The only feature not liked was the aroma. Keep in mind though, these are organic products and they do not contain artificial products to mask the pure organic smells.
Rosepetal Whipped Cream: The Rosepetal Whipped Cream is like the original Whipped Cream, Rosepetal Whipped Cream is a medium weight lotion, rich in essential fatty acids from Rosehip Seed Oil, Kukui, Avocado and jojoba Oils. Rosepetal Whipped Cream contains Hylauronic Acid and vitamins A, C, E, DMAE and MSM.

Pure steam distilled Bulgarian Rose oil, sandalwood and other natural ingredients make this our best seller. Rosepetal Whipped cream is naturally preserved with vitamins, and citrus.
The Rosepetal Whipped Cream had a creamy/oily appearance but it went on light with no residue. One reviewer tried it on their hands and chest area and noted visible results the next day. The remainer reviewers applied it on their faces after cleansing and before make up application. All reviewers liked how their skin felt smoother, softer and nourished. This was truly a favorite among all reviewers. It has a light scent that fades. One reviewer noted a visible change in some of her wrinkles.

Key aspects to the Skinfood Skincare products include no oily residue, an immediate change in skin softness and the wonderful organic nature with each product.
