Coconut Matter – Prebiotic Deodorant
(See featured image above)
Coconut Matter is an eco-friendly and organic lifestyle brand that have just launched their latest Prebiotic Deodorant. Handcrafted in Hong Kong, it’s high-performing, 100 percent plastic-free and free of toxic chemicals and allergens. It is easy to apply and it stays – it’s completely invisible after you rub it on. In case you were wondering, there is nothing different to the application of the prebiotic organic deodorant: three to five strokes is enough for the skin, and it comes in a few different scents. Available in cute tubes, Coconut Matter have done a great job in creating an organic and vegan friendly alternative for those of us worried about toxic chemicals that are present in mainstream deodorants. Prebiotic Deodorant by Coconut Matter is a blend of carefully selected plant- and mineral-based ingredients such as organic arrowroot, hemp seed oil, unrefined shea butter and organic wild coconut oil, just to name a few. If you are switching to a Prebiotic Deodorant though, it could take a few days or weeks for it to reach optimal performance. Your underarms need to detox and re-balance their ecosystem from previous products. We love these – buy a set and try a different scent each day!

Bare minerals – Ageless Genius – Firming & Wrinkle Smoothing Neck cream
This product is the reason it’s first time we’ve introduced a dedicated neck cream into a daily beauty routine. A dedicated neck cream always felt like an extra step no one really has time for. However, after using this cream every evening for a month now, my neck skin does feels softer and smoother than ever. The cream is powered by skin-loving mineral gold with age-defying peptides and you really will notice that your skin looks tighter and more firm, which is thanks to the Edelweiss and algae extracts. It’s also great for gentle skin but it’s a little thick in texture, so would only recommend using it in the evenings. This is the first time using Bare Minerals products and while I have known of the brand for a while, I hadn’t actually tried any products before and look forward to trying out more products in their range.
