My Description & Thoughts on the Cleanser & Cream:

I am such an advocate for hemp seeds and oil, so to discover The Wonder Seed was a neat thing because this is a brand that highlights and utilizes organic hemp seed oil in all of their products.

This is an oil that is expansive in its healing properties and makes these products very dense and rich.

This cleanser is certainly that way–I’d say this cleanser cleaness gently and has a more hydrating effect on skin than clarifying. Though the cleanser has a lot of organic ingredients, the job that it does in clearing the dirty feeling off of my skin is not exactly what I like. I wish it felt a bit more thorough in how it cleans.

I’d recommend this cleanser to someone who has skin much different than mine. Perhaps, skin that has redness, itchiness, craves moisture and soothing would benefit most from this cleanser.

Because the cleanser provides a very mild and gentle clean, I find the facial cream to be a bit much when using it in combination with the cleanser. For my oily skin, my ideal cleanser is very clarifying and thorough and my ideal moisturizer helps replenish a bit of the moisture back to skin that is taking while cleansing. I like being able to control the moisture on my skin by how I apply the moisturizer–and don’t like when the cleanser provides a ton of moisture.

I think a lot of individuals will find this cleanser and cream duo to be perfect for their skin. However, I would not recommend it for active individuals who struggle with excess facial oil and perspiration.

My Description & Thoughts on the Shampoo & Conditioner:

My feelings regarding these two products are very reminiscent of my feelings on the cleanser and cream. In a shampoo, I prefer a thorough clean and in a shampoo I like controlling the moisture that is in my hair by controlling how much product I use.

Like I shared in the aforementioned bit on the face products, I have oily skin, which of course includes my scalp. I exercise and sweat frequently which surely contributes to this already oily situations. Because of this, I look forward to showers in which I can get all the “gunk” off of my body. So, mild shampoos don’t do the trick for me.

Similar to the richness of the face cream, this conditioner is very rich and is capable of bringing the driest hair back to life.  My hair doesn’t need all of that moisture, though. To give you a better idea: when I used the shampoo and followed up with the conditioner, my hair didn’t feel clean afterwards, it felt oily and like it needed another shampoo job. That said, these products are good, just not for my hair and skin type. I love and appreciate the use of organic ingredients in them and wish they were a better fit for me.

If you or someone you know has dry skin and/or dry hair, this product will likely be just what you’ve been looking for.

I had a good feeling about this brand after meeting the founders and then another good-feeling-wave after reading the first ingredient list.
