Natura Siberica Oblepikha and Pine Body Scrub £6.95 / Oblepikha Body Butter £6.95 Sample Review

 

Once again my photos don't do justice to how pretty this body care set is. You can purchase them separately but I think both together make a lovely Mothers Day Gift for under £15. The packaging is delicate, beautiful and is definitely one for show on the bathroom shelf, not hidden in a cupboard. With the beautiful bright blue, orange pattern, what you can't see on the photos is that it's flecked through with gold swirly ribbons, giving a luxurious feel to the product.

The reason why I chose to review these products was purely based on the scent. I am a huge lover of a more aromatic, herbal fragrance than floral, and upon reviewing I wasn't disappointed!

The Oblepikha and Pine Body Scrub is a thick, rich exfoliant that hosts a huge amount of organic ingredients such as:-

• Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Oil - aka Sea Buckthorn, this wonder ingredient contains B vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, is full of anti-oxidants and is very anti-inflammatory.
• Salvia Officinalis Leaf Extract - Sage Leaf, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. 
• Hesperis Sibirica Flower Extract - nourishing and moisturising. 
• Siberian Pine Oil - anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-septic.

The base of the scrub is Shea Butter, so incredibly nourishing and just a small handful rubbed into your skin before you shower (I prefer to do this standing in the shower, before I turn it on), doesn't just rid your skin of dead skin cells, but really deeply moisturises. It smells heavenly uplifting and rather zesty!

The Oblepikha Body Butter has a similar fruity fragrance, almost orange scent again that is incredibly refreshing. The texture as you can see from the photo is like a whipped, delectable mousse formula and it glides onto the skin like a dream. It's incredibly buttery and soft, and hands down beats many other body butters on the market yet for a fraction of the price.

Again with similar ingredients such as Sea Buckthorn, the Body Butter also contains:-

• Panax Ginseng Root Extract - hydrating, helps smooth the skin and also helps with uneven skin tone. 
• Rosa Canina Fruit Oil - commonly known as dog rose, this oil is an anti-oxidant and anti-aging.
• Pulmonaria Officinalis Extract - an emollient that is incredibly nourishing, and helps with dry patches of skin. It's also used to help inflamed skin and helps tone with it's astringent properties.
