Review (4/5): Rich lotion with an ingredient that I'm not a fan of.
It's me again. That Irish girl with the picky skin :)
This time we are trying Clia Natural Facial Moisturizer.
I like when a product has an easy to read ingredients panel, either on their product, or the accompanying box. If not, at least have on their product page a complete list of ingredients so I know what's in it, so I can make an informed decision if this is a product for me and my sensitive skin.
The box I received this product in was a simple, plain cardboard box.
The writing on the label is miniscule at best.
I blew up the attached images so I could read what it actually said. One of the first 5 ingredients is Palm Oil. I'm not a fan of Palm Oil for environmental reasons. The growth and harvest of palm oil is not kind to our planet. That's my personal feelings on the matter.
The cream itself is very rich and smooth without a chemical smell, more like your typical face cream.
I did the back of my hand test first to check for a reaction. There was none, so the next morning I applied the cream to one half of my face for the "face" test.
This cream is VERY rich. Just lightly tap your fingers on the open jar, and you'll get just the right amount. A little goes a long way.
I applied it to my forehead, cheek and neck. It absorbed fairly quickly with no greasy residue.
DId it pass the no breakout, no hives test? Yes it did, and my skin felt softer throughout the day without drying out or leaving any dry patches.
Overall, it's a good, luxurious feeling lotion, but with that Palm Oil in there, i'm not 100% on board, so, I'm really at 3.75 stars on this product
Disclosure: I received this product at a discount for my honest review.
