- Price: $9.99 (3 Piece Kit).
- Size: Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil 0.32 fl OZ (10ml), Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream 0.3 fl OZ (10g), Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash 0.72 OZ (20g)
- Uses: Body Wash, Body Oil & Hand Cream Travel Kit.
- Amount Of Product Used For It To Be Effective: For the Body Wash and the Body Oil- about 1/2 of each container for one use. I've actually been able to use the Hand Cream several times, I think because you're covering a smaller surface area.
- Visual Attractiveness: Very pretty and natural packaging, great for a holiday gift!
- Texture: Body Wash- creamy, Body Oil- silky, Hand Cream- smooth.
- Scent: Girly, like a Pom-tini... Woo-Hoo! Totally put me in the holiday spirit!
- How Long I've Used It: Body Wash & Body Oil twice, still using the Hand Cream.
- Easy To Find And Where? Weleda.com, Target.com, Luckyvitamin.com, or at your local Whole Foods Market.
- Acquired: Sent to me by Weleda to Review.
- Customer Service: Awesome! I spoke with both Bianca and Carrie who were very helpful, really nice, responded to all of my emails and answered all of questions right away! It's nice to see such a big, well-known company offer such great products and have FAB customer service! :)
- Sample, Trial, Travel Sizes?: Yes, this is the perfect size for travel. At my local Whole Foods Market, they have a few Weleda products in the travel size product bins. It would be lovely if they had more of a selection though! HINT, HINT! I really appreciate that they make smaller sizes this way it's not a huge investment, and there's no waste if you don't like it (but... I have yet to come across a Weleda product I didn't like!).
- EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database Rating for: Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash: 6*, Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil: 4*, Pomegranate Regenerating Hand Cream: 5*.
- The GG's Opinion: (*) Ok, so you're probably asking why I've reviewed these products if they have such high scores on The Skin Deep Database. Please read my post {here} for more info. Sometimes there are exceptions to the rules, and The Database is a database, not a person. These products happen to score higher than they probably should- likely due to the word "Fragrance" in the ingredient list- which in this case happens to be from essential oils, just like Dr. Hauschka's do. If you go to their website, they actually have very clear standards... their pure, organic and wild-crafted ingredients are processed as little as possible, and their products don't contain any synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, synthetic chemicals, or synthetic anything for that matter! They also produce every product by the European Union (EU) Guidelines. The kit comes with a little info booklet about the Weleda's history & standards, which is nice- especially for an introduction to the company if you're giving it as a gift. For the Body Wash, I found that I had to use a tiny bit more than expected and couldn't really get it to lather- with my exfoliating gloves or without... but I'm okay with that. It was still very creamy and soothing. I really liked it! The Body Oil was probably my favorite of the three. The scent is so festive for the holidays... made me think of a Pom-tini! I found out that it helps to seal in the moisture if applied to slightly damp skin and it also allows the oil to spread more evenly. I never thought in a million years I would be a body oil person (until recently), but I really enjoyed this one! I was also able to use the Hand Cream much longer than the other two products, which was pretty cool. I love that it's small enough to carry in my tiny bag and leaves my hands feeling super-soft! Nothing was dry or itchy- even the next day and quenched any thoughts of dry winter skin! This kit is great for travel, however I do wish the body products were a little bit bigger. What a FAB gift for someone flirting with the idea switching to Natural or Organic Body Care or if you're new to the Weleda brand and want to check it out. Priced perfectly for an inexpensive Stocking-Stuffer or Holiday Gift! Keep up the great work Weleda! xoxo
