Pregnancy has me parched. I’m constantly constantly drinking water, and yet I’m constantly thirsty. Similarly, my skin seems to be craving moisture… and I’ve been plowing through body lotions and creams with such speed that I’m using full bottles of product on a monthly basis (no exaggeration)!
My latest potion of choice is REN’s Grapeseed Jojoba And Shea Butter Body Cream. This 200mL bottle contains an intense moisturizer that keeps skin feeling soft and supple, while delivering nourishing triglycerides to the skin. Grapeseed Oil and Rice Bran are used as antioxidants, improving the skin’s natural barrier functionality. I love that this product absorbs quickly into the skin, not leaving it feeling greasy or oily. I never have to worry about residue all over my clothing with this body cream!
REN Grapeseed, Jojoba and Shea Butter Body Cream retails for $29 on the REN CLEAN website.
I’ve said it before… REN is probably most notable for what ISN’T in its products. REN refuses to use "unfriendly" ingredients, so any time you purchase one of their products, you can rest assured they are free of: synthetic fragrance, petrochemicals, sulfate detergents, synthetic colors, animal ingredients, parabens, glycols and diglycols (such as propylene glycol), PEG’s, PPGs, urea, D.E.A, T.E.A, PABA and other synthetic sunscreens, aliphatic alcohols/hydrocarbons, phthalates, fumarates, amines, alkanolamines, synthetic AHAs/BHAs, polyacrylamide, metacrylate, elastomer, poloxamer, styrene, vinyl, polyquaternium, synthetic chelating agents, nylon, nitriles, nitrates, nitrosamine releasers, bromates, fluor, aluminum and alumina.
REN products are never tested on animals, and REN donates a minimum of 2.5% of their profits to philanthropies that are either pro-environment or help the less fortunate. Natural beauty with a cause? Fantastic!
