Natural Grace Review and Giveaway

Owner Heather McCoy first became interested in natural skin care in 1995 when her oldest daughter, “Grace” was born.  As a baby Grace’s skin was very sensitive and she was always breaking out with hive like patches all over her body which made her absolutely miserable!  After several trips to the Pediatrician her doctor concluded that “it could be anything” causing the breakouts.  Heather was desperate to find a solution so she began to research and learned about the dangers associated with the use of so many chemical ingredients found in most commercial or synthetic bath and body products.  She then began educating herself in herbal skin care and Aromatherapy and was hooked!  Once Heather started using quality natural products on her daughter’s skin she was happily cured of all the blotchy spots and a much happier baby.  From then on her little girl was a “Natural” Baby and a company was born.

The key to a great product is using the best ingredients. All of their products are Aloe Vera Based, Safe, Affordable, Fresh, Earth Friendly & Made in USA.

They never use any toxic ingredients, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance oils (Phthalates), artificial colorants, retinols, petroleum and are never tested on Animals (Cruelty Free).

The excitement exudes from Heather’s emails to me.  It is so much more fun to work with an excited owner then a company just going through the steps of PR.  Don’t get me wrong there are some fantastic PR reps out there, but working with the owner of a company allows for more insight and chemistry for a great review and product response.

Heather sent me two products to test out.  I have to tell you.  I heart them both.  The first is a HUGE container of her Elegant Touch Perfume Balm Sensual.  I wish I could use a scratch n sniff webpage just this once.  The scent is alluring and yet so soft and light. Enriched with skin conditioning Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond and Apricot Kernal Oils to sooth & an exotic blend of pure essential oils to entice the senses.

Scent: Exotic blend of Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, Orange Sweet, Lavender, Sandalwood, and Jasmine.  There is no scent from these that seems to be the top note.  It is more like they all combine to make one sweet, exotic and sexy scent.  Because of the large 2 oz.  container, I have been using this as a cuticle cream too.  I have it in a basket I keep in the living room and reapply all day.  Not because the scent has left, but because I want to smell it all over again!

Heather also sent me Natural Grace’s Olive and Buttercream Body Whip with Aloe, Olive & Shea Butter. Finally, an incredibly moisturizing body cream, that I can dress immediately after applying. I don’t always shower in the morning, so being in the buff, an applying lotions can get chilly! I like to be able to throw on some clothes after, Or even use at night before dressing for bed, but the thoughts of getting cold is not always appealing. Knowing I can get dressed as I apply, helps keep my skin nice and moisturized! So far anyways! We’ll see if I still feel the same way come 20 degree highs!

With just a slight scent of Lavender, Rosemary and Citrus Essential Oils, you can layer with the Sensual Balm and really feel special! The Shea butter and aloe an truly healing, and feel so light and emollient. This may just become my go to moisturizer all year long!  In fact I love the line so much, they will be one of the select few I carry at the new Prissy Green store!  (coming soon!)

Natural Grace would like to offer one Prissy Green readers $25 gift certificate!  There is so much to Natural Grace’s shop then just this Sensual Balm and Buttercream Whip.
