July Beauty Haul - Body Shop Nutriganics

Nutriganics™ - developed for women typically aged 30-40 years to help improve the appearance of the skin and smooth the first signs of ageing. The benefits of the Nutriganics™ organic skincare range will undoubtedly appeal to those who are looking for alternative anti-ageing products. Combining community trade Babassu oil with 14 other organic ingredients; 99% of ingredients are of natural origin – The Body Shop


Nutriganics™ Smoothing Day Cream 50mL (£13)
Nutriganics™ Smoothing Eye Cream 15mL (£14)
Nutriganics™ Smoothing Serum 30mL (£16)

From my research, the Babassu oil is used as the coconut oil alternative and has become very popular in the beauty industry because it possesses a number of fatty acids that are beneficial to the skin’s overall health. 50% of the Babassu Oil’s composition is made up of lauric acid while the remaining 50% is made from a combination of Stearic, Myristic, Palmitic and Oleic acids. It is also rich in Vitamin E and Phytosterols which act as the oil’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant agents.

My experience:
I started using this range as an alternative to my Dermalogica beauty regime. I have to confess that I can’t maintain those budgets to buy Dermalogica anymore. It is still one of the best, but I must face the hard reality of budget-friendly options… Well, enough with that…

I first bought the smoothing serum after a high recommendation by a fellow beauty blogger and high rated recommendations at the BS website. The price is acceptable and if you have Love Your Body Membership card, you’re entitle for 10% discount. 

So far, I totally love the range, except for the cleanser in which I felt not really cleansing my face - especially after wearing make-up. The cleanser was too 'light' for my liking. The rest? Love it! I can see the smoothness and the suppleness of my skin after one week of using it :) It quickly absorb into my skin and my face was not 'wet' after layers of cream; eye cream, drop of youth, serum, day moisturiser. You don't need to use much, just a pump is enough. I use this range all year round (winter, spring and summer so far), the range sits well with the change of climate :) plus point!

The smell... Hurm, I'm not really comfortable with the strong sharp (maybe pungent?) smell at first but after a while, I got used to it... I must tell you that it might be a turn off for some people... 

Again, I strongly suggest that you ask for a sample before you try the buying the set. Or you can buy the travel size set (around £10).
