My Pure: Balance Me Rose Otto Collection Review – A Perfect Gift Set To Try Out Natural Skincare Products

Balance Me was one of the first natural and organic brands I had come across during the very beginning of my transitioning journey to using natural products and having read great things about the multi award winning duo that is Balance Me Rose Otto Collection, I was keen to find out myself what the fuss was all about…

Before I share my thoughts on these products, below is a brief  introduction about the brand should you not already be familiar.

Balance Me Background

Balance Me was established back in 2005 by British Sisters Clare and Rebecca Hopkins having left their corporate careers in favour of seeking a holistic work-life balance. Having previously made skincare products in their own kitchen, the brand has gone on to become a trusted industry favourite and recognised international brand with numerous awards won across their natural skincare, body-care and beauty range.

Having opened the cardboard package the postman delivered to my door, I was greeted with a lovely little baby pink box with cute repeating flower designs.

This turned out to be the actual sleeve of the box and once removed, revealed a gorgeous and well presented light grey Balance Me box.

Flipping the front of the box open unearthed a decent sized Rose Otto Body Wash (100ml) and a smaller sized Rose Otto Body Cream (30ml)

 Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash (100ml)

The smell of roses has always been a favourite of mine so was glad to experience the same sweet smell when using this to shower with. It is not overpowering as first thought and leaves a wonderful scent in the air and on your body even after use!

Surprisingly it lathers up pretty well without using any SLS’, a toxic ingredient found in most skincare, beauty and hair-care products that acts as a foaming agent that creates a lathering affect so with that said, I’m completely sold on this product.

Balance Me Rose Otto Body Cream (30ml)

Whilst small, this travel sized tube actually suits me to a tee as my day job involves working airside at Heathrow Airport. This ultimately means that NO liquids above 30ml are allowed when going through security from landside to airside *yes I know a pain right?*

Having a lovely, fast absorbing, sweet smelling cream on my work desk is a blessing when in need to moisturise areas of my skin and am strongly considering investing in the larger sized bottle for future use at home.
