The health and ingredient information is amazing. No palm oil! 45% less sugar! Made in Canada!! It even comes in smooth and crunchy varieties. But how's the flavour? AMAZING! The perfect level of sweetness, nuttiness, and smoothness. This will definitely become the only brand of hazelnut spread we purchase. LOVE. -

There are a lot of positives about this product and the brand itself. I like that it's an all-in-one product. It's a brightening serum, a moisturizing cream, and a sunscreen all in one. It really shortens my morning beauty routine. The product is made with beneficial ingredients like vitamin C and pineapple which helps even out your skin tone. I like that it's vegan and contains no mineral oil, parabens, or dyes. I like the environmental aspects of the product - the plant that makes the product is powered by 59% renewable energy, the bottle is recyclable, and the cardboard packaging is FSC certified. It smells fantastic. My one dislike about the product is how greasy it is. It's fine for the weekend around the house but I think it makes my face look way too oily and shiny for days I have to go into the office. Other than that, it's a great product. -

I wanted to love this product, I really did. On paper it's the best deodorant I've ever heard of. It comes in a completely plastic-free, biodegradable package that's easy to use. It's EWG Verified meaning it doesn't have the nasty ingredients most deodorants do, making it a healthy alternative. It's hypoallergenic and vegan. It's made in Canada. When you buy the product, the company plants a tree. It smells amazing and the scent lasts for most of the day. I want to love it so badly because it sounds (and smells) fantastic! Unfortunately, when it comes to actually using it, there are some negatives I'm not sure I can get past. It's very sticky and gucky during application and for awhile afterwards. No matter what I tried I could not get it to go on nicely without leaving a sticky residue. It's very hard to wash off in the shower, meaning it really leaves a residue behind. It goes on so thick and gucky that I don't think a container will last very long. It works quite well to keep odours at bay, but not as well as conventional deodorant. I might buy this product periodically because it's a fantastic alternative health, ingredient, and environment wise, but I just don't think I can use this as my go-to deodorant. -

I waited to try this product on a day when I knew I would be doing strenuous activity and today was that day - I installed a new above-ground pool in the hot sun (which basically took all day). The product is easy to apply and dries quickly and clear. I recommend using it sparingly as I've learned from other spray antiperspirant products. The scent was nice and fresh without being overpowering. I spent the day in the hot sun doing manual labour and the product performed amazingly well. I'm now relaxing at the end of the day and I'm not stinky or sticky at all. My shirt is also clean and dry. The Degree antiperspirant surprisingly still has roughly the same level of scent as when I applied it, which is fantastic! This product truly lasts all day long, no matter what you're doing, and will leave you feeling and smelling fresh. I can't describe how blown away I am by this product's performance. I will definitely be making the switch to this being my regular antiperspirant. -
Dial® Clean + Gentle Fragrance Free Body Wash

Dial Clean + Gentle has so much going for it, I don't know where to start. It's pH balanced, hypoallergenic, vegan, and contains natural ingredients. It's free from dyes, parabens, phthalates, silicones, SLS, and fragrance. The information provided on the label is fantastic. I've never been so engrossed in a product label before! It even provides information on how to recycle the bottle when you are done with it, which is super helpful. Dian Clean + Gentle provides lots of lather for a deep clean, while being gentle enough to not dry out your skin, especially in these cold winter months. It cleans without leaving behind a residue and it is literally fragrance free which is nice. I would strongly recommend for anyone with sensitive skin and for anyone looking for a cleaner label in their health and beauty products. -

Dial Clean + Gentle has so much going for it, I don't know where to start. It's pH balanced, hypoallergenic, vegan, and contains natural ingredients. It's free from dyes, parabens, phthalates, silicones, SLS, and fragrance. The bottle is made from 50% recycled material and even refillable. Dian Clean + Gentle does exactly what it says - it cleans your hands while being gentle on your skin, which is so important and great, especially now that we are in the winter months. We are all aware by this point of the pandemic what increased handwashing has been doing to our skin. I've been using this product multiple times daily and have had zero issues with dry hands. Yet it cleans without leaving a residue behind on your skin. It's fantastic! The label is very informative on the recycled content of the bottle and how to recycle it when you're done with it (which is super helpful by the way), but my one teensy tiny recommendation for approval is to work on making the pump part of the bottle recyclable as well. That would make this product perfect in every way. -

These cleansing wipes work well to remove any type of makeup and all traces of makeup. I typically wear foundation, blush, eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara and didn't have any issues removing any of these. The cloths are soft enough to not irritate your skin, thick enough to not rip or tear, strong enough to remove heavy eye makeup, large enough to remove a face full of makeup, and as close to fragrance-free as you can get. They work well to make sure your face is clean. I get that they are marketed for being convenient to travel with and the tiny packaging is super cute, but my only complaint is I hate seeing how much unnecessary packaging these use. -

I found this sunscreen very easy and mess-free to apply being in a spray format. It's very light and works well under makeup. It's less oily than most sunscreens I've used but these is still a bit of oiliness to it. My pale skin needs the 50 SPF so I like that it's this strong. It goes on clear which is rare for a product offering this much SPF. I like that it protects against both UVA and UVB rays and it's great that it's water and sweat resistant for up to 40 minutes. I'm personally trying to make more natural skincare choices, for both my health and the environment, so I'm glad that this product does not contain oxybenzone. The compact bottle size also makes it easy and convenient to grab and take along wherever your day takes you. Overall, it's a very easy to apply sunscreen, offers broad spectrum and strong protection, it's lightweight, great under makeup, and doesn't leave a whitish cast. -

My immediate thoughts were the packaging is very premium - nice, stylish design and environmentally friendly with the cardboard holder, glass bottles, and metal caps. No plastic anywhere which was really nice to see. The ingredients are also high quality, like the inclusion of cane sugar.
I didn't love the taste. It was okay but I found it not sweet enough so the astringency was really apparent. I prefer a sweeter taste so might purchase this product sometimes, but not often.

In addition to monthly menstrual pain, I also have really bad ovarian cysts that rupture every month. Lucky me! This past week was the cyst rupture type of pain so it was the perfect opportunity to give Motrin a try. I typically use Ibuprofen products so wasn't hesitant about switching brands. The dosing was also a good level (400mg) and the pills were easy to swallow. My first impression was that they worked very quickly to tackle some of my toughest pain. I think that has something to do with the liquid gel format which I will seek out more often in the future. The pain relief was adequate and I was surprised how long it lasted. I worry about taking too much pain relief medication sometimes so it was ideal how long this product continued to work so you can cut down on dosing. Overall, I wasn't pleasantly surprised with the quality and effectiveness of this brand and will be seeking the product out again in the future.
