Alison Claire Mango Body Butter!!x

Hey Everyone,
Recently I visited a friend just to have a quick catch up as we haven't seen each other in a while. She told me she was doing a few subscription boxes after seeing people unbox them on YouTube and had a few things she didn't like/wasn't going to use just sitting in a draw in a bag and asked if I wanted them and of course I said yes.

One of the products in the bag was thee 'Alison Claire Mango Body Butter'. Personally I've never heard of this brand mind coming across any of her products.

From the reasearch I have been doing on this product, Alison Claire is a real person as well as a brand name and she has been a health practitioner for over 30 years. It was in 1991 she started to produce her own products with the moniker 'So Remarkable'. All of her products from within the range such as shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, hand wash and many more beside, are all made with natural ingredients. None of the products are tested on animals, they are all vegan friendly and free from parabens, PEGs and phenoxyethanol. All are manufactured under Alison's supervision. They are prepared and blended by hand from the finest materials.

So the bottle itself was a plastic tube which  had a pull off plastic lid and a pump action dispenser which is really easy to use. Around the middle of the bottle it had a label which told you the brand and what the product was- which in this case it was the 'Mango Body Butter'. Underneath the bold red writing which says 'Mango Body Butter' it quoted " So beautifully natural, so rich and nourishing". Personally to me if I seen this product on the shelf I wouldn't really pick it up as the packaging to me doesn't actually catch my eye enough. I would love it if the packaging was popping with a little more colour maybe.

The body butter itself smells incredible and comes with a really nice list of ingredients which are designed to nourish your skin and leave it feeling soft, smooth and moisturized- also leaving your skin smelling delicious. There are instructions on how to apply the product which are very straight forwards and always helpful if needed.  This product is designed to be used after showering, making sure to pat the skin dry and then squeezing a blob of  the body butter onto the palm of your hand.
If you have owned the 'Soap&Glory Smoothie Star Buttercream' then this is what the 'Mango Body Butter' looks like and also the texture is similar. Once dispensing the body butter into the palm of your hand, you apply it to the body making sure its a thin layer (enough to cover the skin) and then simply massage it in, using the tips of your fingers until it absorbs itself. While its melting into the skin it leaves your skin smelling all fruity but the best thing is it doesn't feel greasy at all.

The ingredients in products like this are very well important-well to me they are anyway.Naturally there is fresh organic mango which is nourishing for the skin and is often used to help get rid of wrinkles. Its also used for dry skin issues as it moisturizes and softens the skin. Unsurprisingly 'Coco Butter' is also an ingredient and similarly to mango, the skin benefits from its ability to soften, smooth and moisturize. Then we also have 'Aloe Vera'  which is an ingredient that is coming popular as it soothes the skin, especially skin that is irritated and inflamed. Next we have 'Green Tea' which is described as a antioxidant- which means it protects the skin from damage. It also helps skin cells rejuvenate and helps calm inflamed skin. The final ingredient i think I should mention is 'Comfrey' which helps to hydrate the skin, reduce inflammation and leave the skin feeling soft and smooth to touch. The long list is found on the back of the bottle as most products have now a days.

So after a few hours of the body butter being applied to the skin you can still smell the fruity mango scent its gives. As for the skin it feels hydrated, moisturized, soft and smooth to touch. I do suffer with a little dry skin especially on my elbows and legs and with the weather starting to change its taking a toll on my skin, so having this product is a life saver- especially as I can carry it around with me.

All together I do really like this product and think its very handy to have in your bathroom cupboard or even in your handbag.
