Grown Alchemist - Body Cream: Mandarin & Rosemary Leaf - 500ml

* I received this product for free from @thisisbutterly @grownalchemist in exchange for my honest opinion* My dry skin is loving this body cream especially during the colder weather. This cream is very lightweight, there's no stickiness to it, it's non-greasy, doesn't just sit on your skin as it absorbs very quickly and the best part is that it smells really good. Definitely can smell the mandarin in this cream. I like the pump dispenser, can control how much I want to use and it's more hygienic than the standard body creams that come in jars. One pump of this product goes a long way! It is very moisturizing but not to the point where you will feel the product on your skin.

I've shopped at Beauty Affairs for a few years now without a problem, however last week my package was stolen- at the fault of the courier. I purchased around $200+ of skincare and was completely devastated when it happened, as I didn't think I would be able to get it resent or refunded because it wasn't Beauty Affair’s fault. I contacted them and to my surprise, they immediately offered to resend or refund my purchase, not only that but they included a gift! I have never had such exceptional customer service from any other company in my whole life! Knowing they are a relatively small (compared to Sephora etc) Australian owned brand makes it even more impressive and I'm so happy (even excited) to know my money is going to a company that highly values its customers. ... MoreI've shopped at Beauty Affairs for a few years now without a problem, however last week my package was stolen- at the fault of the courier.

I would encourage EVERYONE to shop here. Side note: they are also very budget inclusive with the range of products they carry which is always lovely. Thank you Beauty Affairs!!!!

This body cream absorbs so nicely into my skin, without leaving any greasy or sticky residue. The scent is a mix of mandarin and rosemary, and is incredibly light and not overpowering; I love applying this after my evening shower, as the scent relaxes me before going to sleep. Overall, this body cream made my skin feel really hydrated. I recommend!

I received these products free from @thisisbutterly and @grownalchemist in exchange for my honest review. Body Cream. The scent for this one is mandarin rosemary leaf, and I have to say you can actually smell both which was a nice surprise. It’s not as strong of a scent as some of their other products. A little goes a long way for this body cream. It is SO nice, my skin felt like butter after applying it and it kept it hydrated for a long time. - Product received for free from Butterly.com in exchange for an honest review.

My only complaint about this product is the scent. Most of their products are very lightly fragranced and I suppose this one is as well because the scent quickly dissipates after you apply it but I’m just not a huge fan of any citrus scents in any of my skin care. I know that citrus extracts do have benefits but I just don’t care for citrus. It does hydrate my skin exceptionally well. I tend to have dry skin everywhere except my face and using this cream is very hydrating. I typically apply body creams lotions after I shower when my skin is damp and my pores are open from the shower. However, even if I forget and apply it later it absorbs quite well. It doesn’t feel greasy or heavy (two things I detest in any creams or lotions.)

Good for men and women

Im usually afraid to try lotions with fragrance especially when it has a fruity ir floral scent. Surprisingly this is a lotion that works for both sexes. It has a light citrus mandarine scent which is not overpowering ans it quite pleasant. I noticed that once it is absorbed ny the skin the scent is barely detectable.The texture is similar to coolwhip and is thicker than regular body lotions but thinner than body butters. Lightweight and perfect for the summer, it absorbs quickly without leaving behind any unwanted residue on the skin. You can honestly feel its hydrating affects on the skin and I recommend everyone to wrap themselves in this wonderful moisturizing lotion.

Moisturizing- perfect for Spring/summer

This lotion is everything I love in a body cream- hydrating but not sticky. The cream is thick but absorbs quickly and leaves me with a moisturization that lasts all day. It have a nice light fruity fragrance that is pleasant but not overwhelming. It smells nice like oranges, almost like a creamsicle, which I especially love in the spring and summer. It is nice but not too much and does not compete with my body fragrance or perfume. It is a nice calming fragrance that comforts me. The packaging is also really sleek and nice. It is understated and streamlined. I love the pump on the bottle. Overall I think this is a great product and good value for it's great ingredients. I recommend this lotion.

Smells awful but has merit

The fragrance is awful. Same with the face wash. The ingredients read lovely but all together it smells medicinal meets cbd meets bug repellant. On the plus side it absorbed very quickly, left skin soft, but unsure if it actually hydrated or just left a soft film on my skin. Good for the body but not rich enough for winter hands.
