- 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. I only recently fell in love with body oils and discovered that the only thing that will make you greasy is using too much! Use less than you think, and you'll be good to go. The Arnica is actually naturally warming and awesome for cramps if you rub it on your lower abdomen! LOVED the scent of the Pomegranate- see a more detailed review of it here ... smells like Pom-tini's! Yummy! The Lavender, is sooooo relaxing- perfect for bedtime or sleepless nights. I put it on my pulse points and it knocks me right out like a light! The Wild Rose- is really soft and romantic. Never really heard of Sea Buckthorn before, but I think I like it. However,I don't believe the hype about the Birch Cellulite Oil though! It says that "cellulite gets visibly toned down after just one month with this revitalizing oil." And although the color of the bottle looks really pretty along with all of the rest, this is just a 1-2 time use- so I will have no idea if it works after using just this one bottle! I never fall for that kind of stuff- but the oil itself is really nice. Overall, this is a cheery, bright and beautiful gift set, that will leave you absolutely glowing if you're treating yourself... and is especially wonderful (& inexpensive) for those flirting with natural & organic products!
