Korres Jasmine Shower Gel Review & Ingredients Discussed


Korres Jasmine Shower Gel Consumer Review

Why this review?
This product is being reviewed for readers to highlight the label's natural ingredients and the transparency in which the company presents it on each of their labels.

A Bit About The Company

The Korres company is a Greek company with very humble beginnings. They were founded in 1996 by a pharmacist named Georgios Korres. The company produces beauty and grooming products for men and women. The company bases its products on natural ingredients and they are also based partially in homeopathy.
By 1988, the young Georgios was a pharmacology student and was working in a homeopathy pharmacy. This is where the desire to create beautiful and clean products began.
Although the company has been acquisition out by the United States Investment fund Morgan Stanley (56%) and a Chinese company named Profex (14%), Georgios still owns 30% of the company.

Formula Facts Initiative
In 2008, Korres launched the Formula Facts Initiative to communicate with the consumer the percentage of each ingredient listed on the product labels. Korres also tells the consumer what is also NOT in their products. The company proved that beauty consumers do want products rich in natural ingredients and way fewer chemicals.

Review

The Jasmine Bud is clean and freshly scented. It is a nice thick clear gel, which goes a long way. It lathers very nicely and washes away completely. It leaves behind soft hydrated skin with no greasy residue or “scum”.

The Jasmine Shower Gel is considered 88% natural ingredients. The bottle I reviewed was 8.45 ounces. It comes completely sealed for integrity and the bottle is recyclable.
The ingredients are wheat proteins and Althea extracts.

What’s NOT In It?

This formula is free from Mineral oil, petroleum, paraffin, silicone, parabens, propylene glycol, ethanolamines, PEG, ALES, synthetic dye, phthalates, polycyclic musks, retinol, and animal by-products.

This product is considered Ph neutral. *It may contain traces of wheat and nuts. This product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

I give this product a full 5***** star endorsement for great lather and consistency. For skin hydration and also for light and clean scent and product ingredients and label transparency.

While this is not 100% “clean” this is sure a nice step in the right direction!

 The fewer chemicals the better, don’t you agree? Keep finding the beauty that can keep you feeling great about what you use.

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (see  their defini

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large
