Tropic Pure Plant Skincare

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all well.

Today I have something very exciting to blog about - the new Tropic Skincare Range!

A bit of background on this range first: it was created by The Apprentice's Susan Ma (and subsequently invested in by Lord Sugar himself!) and is all totally organic and natural with no added nasties. The products are produced from plants and the ingredients are listed (in plain English!!) on the packaging so you can see exactly what you're putting onto your skin. As 80% of what you put on your skin is absorbed into your body and bloodstream, I think being aware of what is in any products is so important.

Anyway, on to the exciting bit, the products!! I have 4 of the 12 products currently available (all though I have sampled them all), so I'll talk about those.

First up is the Organic Hot Bamboo Smoothing Cleanser. If you think of the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser, this is of a similar nature. It smells of lemon and ginger (although ginger isn't one of the ingredients!) and it's beautiful, it goes on gorgeous and smooth and the bamboo cloth that comes with it is so soft, it's just gorgeous. My skin is left looking and feeling amazing and the smell fades to a gorgeous lemon. The bamboo cloth contains antibacterial properties that stop germs forming (which is fab as I detest crispy, smelly flannels that have been sitting on the side of the bath - yuk!!). Highly recommended product, I'll be continuing to use it.

Next comes the Body Smooth Refreshing Polish. Now this is basically a body scrub, again all natural, organic ingredients and it has the same gorgeous lemony smell as the cleanser. It's a salt scrub so has large salt particles in it, it has natural oils in so needs to be mixed up with the wooden spatula before using. It leaves your skin feeling amazing, soft and refreshed, like you've spent the day in the spa - so luxurious, you have to try it!!

On to the Skin Revive Firming Nourishing Cream. This smells of rose (it has rose hip listed as one of the ingredients) its light, not greasy and leaves your skin feeling so soft. I'm not sure about the 'firming' but it definitely nourishes your skin and puts moisture back in, it's just gorgeous.

Lastly, the Lip Love. This is a lip balm which again contains rose hip. It smoothed and moisturises your lips and leaves them with a sheen, you could easily use this instead of a clear lipgloss. Also, I think it tastes quite lemony. I love this product but I would advise you not to apply too much as it can feel quite greasy if over used.

So, those are all the products I have so far. I think the range has lots of potential, they will be launching more products and a make up line in the future, so definitely keep your eye out. All in all, ten out of ten for these products - if you're looking for something that's luxurious yet all natural, organic, vegan and against animal testing, I hope you'll try out this range.

Hope you've enjoyed this post - what are your favourite organic products?
