Review of Tisserand Intensive Hand & Nail Cream
By Gillian L.
Packaging: Tisserand Intensive Hand & Nail Cream comes in a convenient plastic squeezy tube in 75ml size so handy to pop into your bag or for air travel. The tube and label can both be recycled.
Application: Apply a small dot of this very rich cream and massage well into hands and nails. Allow 5 minutes for the essential oils to absorb .I applied twice daily, but it can be used as often as needed.
Ingredients: All Tisserand aromatherapy products are organic, ethically harvested and suitable for vegans .They contain essential oils and plant extracts chosen for their physical and emotional benefits. Tisserand products do not contain synthetic fragrances, SLS ,parabens ,petroleum products or any ingredients known to be harmful to health. None of their products is tested on animals. This super rich, but light cream is rich in essential oils -geranium ,rose, bergamot, jojoba and kukui with added extract of chamomile. These combine to sooth, refresh, soften and heal dry, chapped hands.
Results: I was delighted with the results on my chemically sensitive, dry and chapped hands. As I react to synthetic perfumes I find it hard to obtain a scented hand cream, which actually works .This product had a noticeable effect on my nails and chapped hands and left them soft and smooth after just one application. I found the scent quite overpowering so probably wouldn’t purchase ,but it certainly works as an intensive hand cream.
Pros
Organic, ethically produced and suitable for vegetarians
Good value for money as a little goes a long way
Convenient and biodegradable packaging
Contains no nasty chemicals so suitable for the most sensitive and reactive skins.
Cons
The scent is rather overpowering with quite a strong herbal aroma which wasn’t to my personal liking.
Difficult to get the last bits of cream out without cutting open the tube.

Review of Suki Daily Conditioner Revitalizing
By Beverley S.
Packaging: Suki Daily Conditioner Revitalizing comes in an aluminum tube with a screw top with the white and yellow distinctive branding. The full size is 150ml
Ingredients: 100% natural, suitable for Vegans
Organic Rose infusion, Organic Jojoba oil, Organic Yerba protein, Hyaluronic acid, Linoleic acid, 100% natural non-gmo Vitamin E, Hydrolyzed Rice protein, Organic Neem, Lavender & Rosemary extracts, Cetearyl alcohol, Organic Horse chestnut & Horsetail extracts, Aroma, Sorbitol, Honeysuckle flower extract, ingredients which are in most Suki products.
Application: Suggested use is for daily conditioning although I don't wash my hair every day I found I could use the conditioner each time I washed my hair as it didn't weigh it down or leave it lank the next day. It is also recommended to use Suki conditioning oil as a treatment once a week or for extra nourishment which would definitely be needed for thick hair.
Results: I have very fine hair and have been having problems with my normal conditioner despite the fact I am using the lightest version in the range therefore I was keen to see how my hair behaved with Suki's conditioner which promised to lightly nourish my hair without build-up/residue or weight. I found these promises to be fulfilled for me and was really pleased when my fair hair had a shine and was manageable on the day I washed it and the days in between. I was finding my hair had tendency to become lank with my normal range which I had been happy with but feel with the change in weather I needed something lighter.
I didn't want to compromise light for lack of nourishment as my hair is dry/damaged. Suki's conditioner has given me the confidence to add the nourishment I was beginning to worry about.
I would still give my hair extra nourishment every couple of weeks with an oil.
I haven't found the need for an extra oil treatment but will take the precaution of doing this before I visit the hairdresser for my next appointment and for a few washes afterwards.
Anyone with normal hair would need to use the oil at least one wash each week as this conditioner is very light which is why I liked it so much. Very thick hair would possibly have to use and oil each time as I don't 'think' the lightness of this revitalising conditioner would be enough and if it was a lot more product would have to be used which could work out expensive.
Comments: The tube is excellent for travel and in the shower as it is easy to dispense however on one occasion I squeezed out too much and had no way of replacing the product back into the tube, in this case I had a little too much but didn't want to waste it so my hair had extra conditioning that day. Point of interest it actually didn't weigh my hair down even though it was more than I normally used. I wouldn't leave the tube on a shelf in the shower due to the aluminum used. Perfect for gym bags or travel (less weight than a big bottle without risk of spilling)
I used to use a richer conditioner but have learned with my hair being so fine I am better with a light one I can use without fear which is exactly how I felt using Suki's revitalising product. It was rich enough to leave my hair tangle free, a wide tooth comb glided through easily.
Pros:
100% natural Cruelty free
Quality ingredients (no silicone etc)
Very light weight for very fine hair (if conditioners are normally too rich)
Travel friendly
Lovely texture with light, refreshing scent
Cons:
Quite expensive (Suki's spa range has become expensive although the brand uses cutting edge science throughout the range) The brand I use has high quality organic ingredients but isn't as expensive for 200ml of product.
Costs would be more with the addition of the oil treatment although this has the added benefits of nourishing the scalp.
May be too light for normal to thick hair (fine & very fine it is perfect)
