Gwyneth Paltrow recently divulged her beauty secrets on VOGUE and I couldn't help but be intrigued because her age is certainly not showing on her face. BTW, she's almost 45 and her skin looks glowing. Her choice products obviously are from GOOP, since she is the CEO of the said company. Now, I can't afford GOOP let's be honest. :) However, if there's something that I deduced from the VOGUE article, it's that she uses clean products for her skin care and cosmetics. Clean, as in, natural, paraben and other harmful chemicals-free kind of products. I may not be able to get some GOOP but I know of a certain brand that is just as clean and all-natural. And it's closer to home. :)

I've been a fan of Human Nature for ages now, I just thought it was time to rediscover the brand. Here are the products that I recently purchased.

Human Nature takes center stage in my current skin care routine.
Human Nature Gentle Cleansing Oil
Price: Php 199.75, 95 ml
Take it off gently - the makeup - with the Human Nature Gentle Cleansing Oil.

"Good skin starts with a clean slate! Doing a primary sweep of excess oils and dirt with a cleansing oil allows your facial wash to more effectively cleanse your skin. This beauty practice is called the double cleansing method, recommended by beauty gurus to avoid enlarged pores and acne due to leftover dirt and grime."

Me Then: What need have I of a greasy cleansing oil?
Me Now: Where have you been all my laaaaayf?!!!

I will do a full review on this soon. :)


Human Nature 100% Natural Detoxifying Mask + Scrub
Price: Php 249.75, 100 g
The Human Nature 100% Natural Detoxifying Mask + Scrub smells divine!

"Pollution and stress take a toxic toll on your skin daily. Take a pinch of time to escape, recover and bounce back with this multitasking mask+scrub duet and unveil fabulously soft, smooth skin – all in the comfort of your own home."

 This is also one of my new favorites. Once upon a time, I thought cleansing was enough. Now that I've found this I'm never going back. I will also do a full review of this product soon.

 Human Nature Balancing Facial Wash
Price: Php 199.75 for 200 ml
The Human Nature Balancing Facial Wash always keeps me coming back.

"Some things may look better shiny, but never your face! Finally flaunt shine-free skin with the oil control formulation of Balancing Facial Wash with manila elemi. Its natural formula strikes the perfect balance between effectively eliminating excess oils and naturally moisturizing the skin."

 This isn't the first time that I tried the Human Nature Balancing Facial Wash but I think they've made updates on the formulation and added those grainy stuff which based on the ingredients might be the loofah. I still love it though and no matter how many other facial washes I try, I'm safe in the knowledge that this Balancing Facial Wash will always work for me.

 Human Nature Balancing Face Toner
Price: Php 184.75, 200 ml
Tone it up, because cleansing ain't enough.

"Complete your natural face routine with the improved formulation of Balancing Face Toner! Bursting with manila elemi, a prized ingredient known for its skin-care benefits and healing properties, and sugar beet, now you can help keep oil under control for shine-free, refreshed skin!"

 In case there's still some dirt left after double cleansing and scrubbing I have this Human Nature Balancing Toner to be thorough. It really smells soooooo good too!

 Human Nature 100% Natural Night Moisturizer
Price: Php174.75, 100 ml
Lather up before saying good night.

"Indulge your skin in a nourishing slumber with our Night Moisturizer, made richer with pure jojoba oil and plant collagen, and with a calming scent to make your nightly skin repair more relaxing."

 I think I've sung enough praises for this product on this post. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't know which of the ingredients does it but it really helps in calming down and healing my zits. 
***
I think these products will be good enough for two to 3 months. So far so good. I have not experienced any major breakouts. I've been using them for a month now and I'm feeling really good. I just need to remind myself to be more consistent though. Consistency is always the key when it comes to skin care. Sometimes I get too lazy to double cleanse or tone and it really shows on the skin so I just try to do better on the next day.

Cheers Human Nature! Thanks to you, safe and natural products are available to us at affordable prices.

I have an oily type of skin so I've always been averse about using any kind of oil, especially on my face. However, I became curious about Human Nature's 100% Natural Sunflower Beauty Oil because of the good reviews from consumers. Moreover, it is said that this product can be used for different purposes: 23 to be exact, according to the Human Nature website. I knew I had to try it out to experience the "miracle".


About The Product
"Experience 23 miracles of the sunflower gold."

A breakthrough bestseller and cult classic, Sunflower Beauty Oil’s premium formulation is rich with moisturizing and nourishing vitamins A, D & E, earning its place as a well-known and well-loved top-to-toe beauty solution.

How does Sunflower Beauty Oil show its miracle magic? Let us count the ways …

1. Helps lighten dark undereye circles
2. Helps lighten dark spots & pimple marks
3. Undereye moisturizer
4. Helps prevent & lighten the appearance of stretch marks
5. Helps soften and lighten underarms
6. Softens feet soles, knees & elbows
7. Removes stubborn makeup
8. Overall body moisturizer
9. Helps lighten fine lines around the eyes
10. Helps soften cuticles and dry skin
11. Makes skin glow and helps keep it youthful
12. Helps relax tired, puffy eyes
13. Helps relieve itch & redness caused by insect bites
14. Nourishes & conditions eyelashes
15. Helps lighten dark lips
16. Adds shine to dull hair
17. Helps ease dry & itchy scalp
18. Helps improve skin condition after sunburn
19. Smoothens dry, rough skin from shaving
20. Helps calm skin & ease rashes
21. Helps relieve symptoms of skin infections
22. Helps hydrate dry patches on face
23. Helps lighten lesions and scars
-text from www.humanheartnature.com

Check out the ingredient list though, because it only has one. This stuff is made of 100% premium cosmetic grade Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil.


The other details: it is 100% free from harmful chemicals; no PEGs, parabens, synthetic fragrances, silicones, etc.

 The oil is light yellow in color.

 It comes in this transparent plastic bottle that is leak-proof. The product is dispensed by a pump so you are able to control how much product comes out.

My Take
When I scanned the list of what this beauty oil claims that it can do, I thought that it would be a great overall moisturizer. That being said, I think I have used this product from my hair down to my soles.

 My hair can be dry and frizzy sometimes so I just put it on before sleeping to add some nourishment.

 I have used it on my face, including the under eyes and it really does great in moisturizing. I have no evidence that it can actually lighten dark circles, scars, stretchmarks or dark spots but there have been studies about that in the past, so I'll just leave you with that. Source

 This also works well as a makeup remover, especially for my mascara. And it nourishes the lashes so that's another plus.

 It's made of pure oil so it's bound to be greasy when applied on the skin. I only this as a facial moisturizer at night because obviously my face would be an oil slick before 9 am at the office, when it's sweltering hot. And facial skin tends to secrete lesser sebum at night, so... As a body moisturizer, I prefer using this during the cold months, when my skin is feeling unusually dry. It also keeps the skin warm because oil traps heat.

 The dry parts of my elbows, knees and soles have greatly benefited from this oil.

 I've heard that oil products can be comedogenic but thankfully I have not experienced having pimples while using this. 

 To Sum Up
I love having this as a backup product and I think that would be biggest reason why I will always want to have this one around.

 Ran out of hair serum? No problem.
No cleansing oil to remove that stubborn mascara? No worries.
Baggies feeling a little dry? SBO has got your back.
Need a little overall moisture because of the drying cold weather. Get a few pumps.

 You won't feel guilty because it's super affordable. It's also cruelty-free, free from harmful chemicals, pro-environment, pro-Philippines, and pro-poor.

I discovered Human Heart Nature online in 2015. Since then I have availed myself of a dealer membership, although it is just for personal use. It allows me to shop through their site at discounted rates. Needless to say, I have shopped countless times at www.humanheartnature.com and I have tried a handful of their products. I have also made some reviews about 'em; I guess Human Heart Nature is all over my blog. Today I will be sharing a quick review of some Human Heart Nature products that I've tried. Come have a look.

HUMAN  HEART NATURE PERFECT COVERAGE MINERAL FOUNDATION IN HONEY
Refill Only Regular Price: Php 295.00
The Human Heart Nature Perfect Coverage Mineral Foundation in Honey looks too yellow on the pan but is a great match when applied to my medium skin with yellow undertones. The powder is finely milled and does not appear chalky on my skin. It gives a medium coverage only though, so you would still need a concealer for those blemishes. It is fragrance-free, didn't cause any breakouts on my skin and I am happy about how it kept me looking fresh throughout the day. One glitch that I encountered about this product was that it was easily broken, something that I also experienced with the Human Heart Nature Perfect Glow Mineral Blush, and it's because they only use natural binders. But being economical that I am, I used it to the very last bit, just in a loose powder form. I put it on an old Palgantong Powder container and voila, I was good to go!

HUMAN HEART NATURE 100% NATURAL SUNFLOWER BEAUTY OIL 
Regular Price: Php 174.75 for 50 ml
Ingredients list and other details on the label.
The 100% Natural Sunflower Beauty Oil has many uses - 23 to be exact, according to their website. I know that sunflower oil is good for lightening scars and dark spots but it should be applied religiously in order to achieve any conceivable results, and I am such a failure at that. Haha. I'll just make a comment on how great it is as an alternative to a body lotion because it's good in keeping the skin moisturized and looking supple. I have also used it as a mascara remover and it's great that it can also nourish the eyelashes. It smells like oil, no other fragrance was added, according to the ingredients list. I use it sparingly on the face though, because it is made of oil and it can feel heavy and greasy on the face.

HUMAN HEART NATURE 100% NATURAL NIGHT MOISTURIZER
Regular Price: Php 174.75 for 50 ml
Ingredients//On my hand
I think the 100% Natural Night Moisturizer is one of my favorites from Human Heart Nature. It just makes my skin glow in the morning. My skin is naturally oily and  I know that I should be careful around products that contain oils. *How do I tell that this one has oils? Well, if the skin feels warm after application, it is most likely that the product contains oil because oil traps heat on the skin.* But at least I know that its the good kind of oils or ingredients...no mineral oil, silicone, parabens, etc. I love how my skin feels so nourished when I put this on. 

 HUMAN HEART NATURE 100% NATURAL HEALTHY LOTION - ORANGE SUNRISE
Regular Price: Php 199.75 for 200 ml
Packed with goodness
Ingredients and deets
The Human Heart Nature 100% Natural Healthy Lotion is really packed to the punch with goodness! It is formulated with "12 nutrients and antioxidants from coconut, aloe vera, soybean, sunflower and avocado oils". You can read all the deets on the label. As of this date, it has four variants - Orange Sunrise, Powder Love, Blossom Beauty and Berry Bliss. I have yet to try Powder Love and I think of the three that I've tried, Berry Bliss is my favorite. It smells like fruits. This one in particular, the Orange Sunrise, smells tangy, obviously! Haha. I love how it is not sticky and that it gets easily absorbed by the skin. Human Heart Nature promotes the "Morena and Proud" so there aren't any whitening properties on this lotion and I'm cool with that.

 ***
Human Heart Nature's philosophy is Pro-Poor, Pro-Environment and Pro-Philippines. I'm glad that with every single purchase that I make, I am able to help those three aspects. A little help goes a long way. Check out Human Heart Nature's website at www.humanheartnature.com for more info.

I grabbed this lippie a long time ago. Honestly I can't remember when, LOL. So I guess it's about time that I make a review. These photos were also taken using my camera phone waaaaaaaay back so the quality isn't that good. Apologies for that. But anyway, hewego!


Product Name/Shade: Human Heart Nature Mineral ColorCreme Lipstick in Passion Candy
Regular Price: Php 325.00// Member Price: Php 276.25
Where I Got It: www.humanheartnature.com

Vivid color. Luscious moisture. One rich lipstick.

Time to let your natural beauty dazzle with this luxurious fusion of cocoa butter, sunflower seed oil, passion fruit seed oil, and natural vitamin E that melts onto your lips for an exquisite, creamy glide.

The other colors in this ColorCreme line. Photo taken from www.humanheartnature.com
My Take
I've been trying out different Human Heart Nature products and of course, being the makeup junkie that I am, I also checked out their Mineral Makeup line. I had six color choices for the lipsticks and since I was looking for an MLBB (My Lips But Better) type, I opted not to choose the Lucky In Love (Red Brown), Crimson Glaze (Brick Red) and Pink Smoothie (Light Pink). I am also slightly averse to coral-ly colors so that left me with the Rose Mauve color which is named Passion Candy.

The lip bullet is of slim type, reminiscent of a Wet n Wild Matte Lip Cover, but in my opinion is packaged sturdier and the cover isn't made of acrylic. I like the packaging because it looks classy and closes to a snap so there won't be any bag incident where the cover would come off. 


I bet you can see on the shape of the lip bullet is slim and cylindrical with a slightly diagonal tip. I have a hard time applying it directly from the tube because it can't seem to get it around the shape of my lips so I always use a lip brush in applying this. I also use my fingertips in applying this for a more natural effect.

If I were to describe the smell of this one, I think it smells a bit like milk and oatmeal; nothing overwhelming so it's one thing I love about this lippie. The name is ColorCreme so it's really creamy in texture, maybe a bit sticky but not to a bothersome level. It glides on creamily and I think the nourishing ingredients such as cocoa butter, sunflower seed oil, passion fruit seed oil, and natural vitamin E are doing their jobs in keeping the lips hydrated.

Ingredients. It's a white box but just got a bit dirty haha. 
As for the color, I think it is a perfect match for natural color of my lips which is a bit dark. It is mauve but when I look at it on my lips, it has a reddish-brown undertone. I wish it had a more brightening effect on my face because I think I look a bit dull wearing it. I think it's a great color for everyday at the office.  With one layer and just dabbed with my finger it's perfect for the no makeup look. If layered a bit, it will be darker and it looks brown and vampy. 

Swatched on the back of my hand.
The staying power is probably the negative aspect  of this lippie. Since it is not a matte lipstick I think it's quiet understandable. It literally melts as I brush it with my lip brush.I think it only stayed for about three hours on me; it leaves a reddish stain afterwards. At least it is non drying. Anyway, there are ways to extend the staying power of a lipstick on the lips, as indicated in the leaflet that came with it.

The lipstick came with a little leaflet that contained some infos and tips about lipsticks and application.
Here's a  photo of me wearing the bespoken Human Heart Nature Mineral ColorCreme Lipstick. Looks like I'm not wearing anything at all, ayt? I also have here the before and after color of my lips. Told you it's almost the same color as my natural lip color.



To cap things...
If you are looking for a lipstick that would give you a natural, no makeup makeup look I think you could go for this one. There are other options for color choices. Those who would like to give their lips a rest from drying or matte lipsticks would also love this because of its moisturizing properties. Plus it's from Human Heart Nature so you're getting a 100% Natural product which is also free from harmful chemicals. They also don't test on animals.

I'm sharing some of my most favorite products from Human Nature today. These little pick-me-ups are the Rescue Balm and the Soothing Balm. 
Human Nature's pocket-sized wonders: the Rescue Balm and the Soothing Balm

Human Nature 100% Natural Rescue Balm
All you need is a thin layer to smoothen out scrapes, scratches, nicks and bumps. On the left are the ingredients of he Rescue Balm.
Price: Php 99.75 for 10g
Where I Got It: www.humanheartnature.com

Human Nature says...
"Soothe and heal the natural way. A thin layer of this balm is all you need to smooth over nicks, bumps, and small skin discomforts. Perfect for doting moms, precocious kids, and adventurous weekend warriors alike!

Potent yet gentle. Tea tree has inherent anti-bacterial properties while lavender is traditionally known to help speed up the healing of cuts and nicks and help relieve pain and swelling."

 -from www.humanheartnature.com

I'm a mom to a four-year old and scratches on the knees and on the elbows are a common sight. My daughter is kinda scared of Betadine though so I figured that if it isn't that huge of a cut or wound, I could resort to the Rescue Balm. True enough she loves it because it doesn't sting and it smells clean and fresh.

Human Nature 100% Natural Soothing Balm
Soothe the headaches away with this minty and relaxing product.


Price: Php 99.75 for 10g
Where I Got It: www.humanheartnature.com

Human Nature says...
"Give the gift of peace of mind with our Soothing Balm. Breathe in the goodness and let the good vibes from this mint balm soothe away the tensions of your daily hectic lifestyle. With an infusion of peppermint, eucalyptus, and bergamot, let this all-around wonder balm help relieve stress, mental fatigue, dizziness, body aches, and even skin boo-boos."

Ingredients:
Cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, beeswax, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, Mentha piperita (peppermint) essential oil, Mentha arvensis (corn mint) essential oil, Eucalyptus globulus(eucalyptus) essential oil, Citrus bergamia (bergamot) essential oil

-from www.humanheartnature.com

The Soothing Balm is one product from Human Nature that I will really swear by. Just last night I had a huge bout with migraine and I forgot to buy medicine for pain. As it was already night time, I knew that I would be going through an agony overnight, while trying to sleep. And then I remembered that I actually had the Soothing Balm in my bag. So I took it out and sniffed it and whether you believe it or not, the pain just went away. I don't know if which of its ingredients seem to numb the pain but it is true. And when I stopped sniffing it, the pain came back, so I applied it on my nose and on my temples. And that's how I slept through a migraine. 

Take a peak y'all. 
This is me saying 'Thank you!' to Human Nature (again!) for making such wonderful products which no matter how small could spell a huge difference in our lives. Migraine is a huge issue for me and I'm thankful that I don't have to rely on pain medication alone  to eradicate it.

If anything, I wish they would start making bigger versions of these stuff because I really love 'em.

Human Heart Nature boasts of all natural products that are safe, pure, biodegradable, cruelty-free and free from harmful chemicals. I've made several blog entries and reviews about their products which I use personally. Their product line though is not just limited to personal care or cosmetics. They also have some for kids and today I would be sharing a trove of products that have been useful and helpful to me as a mom.

Bath Time Bundle

Kids Natural Shampoo and Body Wash
Celestine and I love the smell of this double tasker. It lathers well and doesn't sting the eyes. Whenever she uses it, she would tell me that her skin is bouncing, which I take it, she actually means that it makes her skin feel soft and smooth. I specially appreciate that it doesn't have a greasy after-feel which I have observed in other baby bath products. After washing, the skin just feels squeaky clean with undeniable softness.
Ingredients of the Kids Shampoo and Body Wash
Kids 100% Natural Bath Soap
When I ordered this soap I actually thought that it would come in a chocolate brown bar form. In truth it is a white-colored bar with chocolate strips embedded within and yes, it smells like chocolate. Even the ants took something for themselves as I’ve caught ones sneaking into the box. Just like the body wash, it also makes the skin feel soft and smooth with a squeaky clean after-feel after washing off.
Ingredients and deets about the Natural Bath Soap
Needless to say, I love these products and I wouldn't even deny that I’ve used them myself. :)

HHN also  has ...
Kids Spray Sanitizer which I bet is great since I’ve been using their all natural sanitizer for a while now and it has never dried up my hands.
Photo credits to www.humanheartnature.com
For little babies they also have an array of products such as Baby Wash, Baby Lotion,Natural baby Wonder Oil, Natural Nappy Cream and even Washable Cloth Diapers.
Photo credits to www.humanheartnature.com
Here are also other products that have been handy to me as a mom as my little one sets out to explore everyday.

100% Natural Bug Shield
Rainy season is just around the corner, so I know this will be very helpful in protecting me and my loved ones from bug bites. The smell is tad too strong, however, so this may not be everyone's cup of tea. ;)

100% Natural Rescue Balm
The Rescue balm on the other hand is wonderful for rashes, redness and insect bites. It also has a nice, clean smell.

 There, there. Do I sound like a Human Heart Nature endorser now? Well folks, it’s just nice to be able to share some info about a truly amazing Filipino company that's  Pro-Philippines, Pro-Poor and Pro-Environment.

The great news is that these products are very affordable. I used to think that going natural or organic means having to spend so much or sourcing products from abroad. Human Heart Nature is right at our doorstep. They have a wonderful website from which you can order with ease. Shipping fee is incredibly low! Human Heart Nature truly helps me give the best products to my toddler while helping our countrymen.

My baby girl gamely poses with her choco-smelling bath soap.

If there is a makeup regimen that I love skipping or forgetting, it would be putting on a blush, for the following reasons:
1. I don't think it's necessary.
2. I associate it with looking like a clown.
3. I was never really good at putting it, hence reason no. 2.

However, for a change, against my better judgement, I wanted an update on my everyday look and so I picked this Human Nature Perfect Glow Mineral Blush in Pink Bloom, hoping I would somehow look "glowing" and "blooming". :) 

Product Name: Human Nature Perfect Glow Mineral Blush in Pink Bloom
Where I Got It: Human Nature Online Site
Price:  Php 280.25 for 4.3g (with Dealer Discount)

VERDICT
After all of my past inhibitions with blushes, I've changed my mind and this may be the only blushers I would ever need in my life. Lucky me because the shade matches me pretty well and with a very light hand, I am able to achieve a natural looking flush that lasts all day. It feels very light on  my skin and didn't cause me any breakout. I always prefer the natural look and I have found my perfect match in this blush.

INGREDIENTS + BACK LABEL
Human Nature boasts of using only natural ingredients in making it's products so everything is well indicated in this label. No chemical preservatives, no parabens, mineral oil, artificial dyes or other toxic substances.


PACKAGING, ETC.
It comes in a sleek black plastic packaging that includes a mirror and a brush. Even if the brush isn't of the finest quality (too thin and sheds a lot), I still use it for quick touch-ups. However,  I find that the best brush companion for this would be the kabuki brush from the ECOTOOLS 5 Piece Mineral Set.

Here with the ECOTOOLS kabuki brush.
FOR A REVIEW OF ECOTOOLS 5 PIECE MINERAL BRUSH SET CLICK HERE.

SWATCH+PERFORMANCE
That would be a concentrated swatch and see how lovely the color looks. Just the right amount of pink in matte consistency, and no shimmers because that's how I prefer it. It stays on up to 5 hours, even in this sweltering heat, yes! And after that there's still a hint of pink that lingers.


TO CAP THINGS...
I am only too happy say that I've found my blushing match with the Human Nature Perfect Glow Mineral Blush in Pink Bloom. Glowing and blooming achieved!!

I made it a point at the start of the year that the year 2015 would be a year of change. I wanted to be more socially and environmentally responsible. Even in just my little ways I wanted to make a difference. Bit by bit I tried to transform my lifestyle because I know that in order to effect change around me I needed to start with myself. 

Check out the products of this noble proudly Filipino company that has served as my constant companion in fulfilling my personal advocacy.


It is no secret though that I am similar with most women in my ‘slight’ addiction with using cosmetics and personal care products. Lately, I have become ingredient-conscious and I’ve been loitering in grocery aisles reading the micro prints at the back of different products hoping to find ones that don’t contain too much chemical based components.

I have become familiar with different ingredients that are considered harmful such as:
mineral oil, petroleum, petrolatum, SLS/SLES, CDEA/CMEA, disodium EDTA, benzophenone/oxybenzone, hydroquinone, CDEA/CMEA, triclosan, DEET, parabens, phenoxyethanol

I would get disappointed each time because so many products in the market contain one, several or all of those ingredients. I knew that there were natural or organic products out there but I’ve always associated them with being expensive or difficult to procure because usually they had to be sourced offshore.


On a different day I did a bit of a research about Filipino-made products as part of my other advocacy which is to support local ones. I found some brands, both familiar and not. HUMAN NATURE literally caught my eye. With one look I kind of got the entire idea about what they were selling but I had to click the link to fully understand. And boy I was amazed! Where have you been all my la aah aaah ife. Or which rock have I been living under for such a long time because it seems that HHN has been in existence of at least five years. Above all, it’s philosophy of being Pro-Philippines, Pro-Poor and Pro-Environment has got me hitting three birds with one stone!

When my first orders from HHN arrived I was uber excited to try them all and after weeks of testing them I promised to repurchase as long as the products are available in the market.

Here’s  a rundown of HHN products that are now staples in my daily personal care.

Human Nature Mineral Pressed Powder in Island Shell
“Did you know that Human Nature’s mineral makeup line is 100% natural? That’s right, gorgeous! So say bye-bye to parabens, synthetic dyes, talc and other toxic chemicals, and say hello to only pure fab goodness everyday!”

I am happy that I finally found a pressed powder that doesn’t have an overwhelming scent. It’s also very light on the face and I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel like it has a cooling effect on my face. Just a minor hitch on my part though because I had a tough time picking the right shade and there were three of them available: Orient Pearl (light, yellow undertone), Island Shell (fair, pink undertone), and Sand Dollar (medium, yellow undertone). I picked Island Shell because I figured it would fit me but I noticed that on the later part of the day it tends to get darker on my skin and well, I feel that I should still check out if how the other shades would be like for me. I have no regrets getting this though because I’ll just use it for it to contour my face. And I understand that getting the right shade of pressed powders is always hit and miss. (^_^)

Human Nature Moisturizing Shampoo in Vanilla Lush
“Start your hair rescue with our Natural Moisturizing Shampoo! It’s the only one with breakthrough CREAMFoam® technology, which acts like a lotion to soften and nourish your hair. Plus, it’s got Philippine coco nectar, bursting with amino acids, vitamins and minerals!”

I super love the scent of this one! Lathering this one my hair doesn’t make me guilty because I know that it is filled with natural goodness. I’ve always wanted to use Coconut stuff on my hair but I know that it’s impossible to do it on a daily basis. HHN solved my woes.

Human Nature Moisturizing Conditioner in Mandarin Fresh
“For truly beautiful hair that's touchably soft and healthy, sometimes shampoo just isn't enough. We’re here to help you get soft, smooth, sleek hair with our Natural Moisturizing Conditioner. It's made with some of nature’s most intense moisturizers, avocado, sunflower and soybean oil, that condition and nourishes the hair. A final touch of virgin coconut oil gives your hair a healthy shine, without the chemicals.”

Human Nature Balancing Facial Wash and Toner
This is the perfect combo for my oily face. After a month of using them, I can say that it’s even better than the Pond’s or St. Ives that I have been using before. I’m used to having breakouts whenever I get my menstrual period but when I started using this HHN Balancing Facial Wash and Toner Duo, I have never gotten any zits on my face, big or small.

Human Nature Day and Night Moisturizer

Aside from being head-over-heels with the scents of these moisturizers, I love how light they feel on the skin. They are easily absorbed by my skin and with the loads of anti-oxidants and vitamins they contain I am sure that my skin finally gets the nourishment that it deserves. These are now my must-haves and I have been using them everyday ever since I got them.
The day moisturizer serves as my pre-makeup prep but it doesn’t contain any SPF so it has to be partnered with HHN’s Safe Protect Sunblock.
The night moisturizer on the other hand just gives me a beautiful morning glow.

More reasons to love HHN:
  • HHN partners with Gawad Kalinga Villages and local farmers and suppliers and thus supports so many Filipino’s lives and dreams throughout the archipelago.
  • Great Packaging. Really, you wouldn’t expect much from a local brand which sells its products at relatively low prices. And that’s where you’re wrong.
  • Everything smells good. Try them to find out.
  • Cruelty Free and PETA-Certified.
