Formula: watery and creamy mud

Packaging: round jar with twist-off lid

Cocoon Apothecary Ancient Mud Review:
Detoxify, exfoliate and tighten skin with two of nature's most potent beauty treatments: Dead Sea mud and Canadian Glacial Marine Clay. Dead Sea mud has been used since ancient times as a health and beauty treatment. It remineralizes the skin with essentials nutrients and purifies pores of toxins and pollutants. Glacial marine Clay from the coast of British Colombia is an extremely fine powder that absorbs deep into pores to pull out contaminants and excess oil. Both the mud and the clay work synergistically to pull out the bad and leave the good. Use once per week avoiding eye area. For all skin types.

I have an addiction to face masks and peels, so I was of course excited to use this. The smell isn't something I like, but it's not bad either. The texture is watery and creamy at the same time. I felt this mask did a great job at clearing my skin of all the bad stuff. I don't think it reduces pore size, at least not mine, but with continued use its possible. My skin does feel tighter after use and feels smooth.

I applied this mask on my friend, and she liked the way it felt and how her skin felt and looked afterwards.

I loved this mask, and if it wasn't for the smell I would have rated this 5 out of 5 Kisses! It's definitely worth checking out.

Cocoon Apothecary Eyewaken Eye Cream Review:
A refreshing, hydrating blend of botanical waters and plant oils specifically formulated to combat dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles. A soothing, firming formula that relieves tired eyes so they look their best. For all skin types.

This eye cream was very creamy and had a light scent. It felt very good going on - refreshing and light. I haven't been using it long enough to get a good feel for the long term results, but from what I've used of it, I thought it was nice.

My friend used this more than I did (since I've been testing out several eye creams lately), and she too liked the way it felt going on. She especially commented on how creamy it was and how good her eyes felt.

Overall, we'd both recommend this.

Cocoon Apothecary Kahuna Organic Body Lotion Review:
An organic body lotion that is super hydrating and fast absorbing. Kahuna locks in moisture with the luxurious oils of virgin coconut and macadamia nut. Keeps skin feeling nourished and moisturized with a super light feel.

This lotion had a light scent, and to me it smelled lemony. I didn't love the scent, but it wasn't horrible either. The texture of this lotion is nice and creamy, yet lightweight. It did absorb into my skin quickly and left my skin feeling very soft and hydrated.

I gave this to my friend to test out, and she ended up loving it, even loving the light scent. She said she'd reocmmend this.

Cocoon Apothecary Petal Purity Face Cleanser and Rosey Cheeks Face Cream - pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

Have you tried any of the Cocoon Apothecary products? In this post I'll share with you their Petal Purity Facial Cleanser and their Rosey Cheeks Facial Cream. The cleanser is fantastic, and the cream is great too - but wasn't a match for my oily skin so I gave it to a friend. My friend has dry skin and loves the Rosey Cheeks Facial Cream!

Cocoon Apothecary Petal Purity Facial Cleanser Review:
As you all know, I'm very sensitive to smells and I was worried I wouldn't like the way this cleanser smelled because I'm really not into floral scents. However, I was really pleasantly surprised that this had hardly any scent at all. The scent that was there was a barely there, light floral scent. Very tolerable, even to those of us who aren't into floral fragrances.

The cleanser itself was very creamy and lightweight. It did a great job at removing my makeup and making my skin feel clean. After washing this off, my skin felt hydrated and fresh. I have oily skin and this wasn't overly hydrating.

The pump-top applicator is my favorite type of cleanser dispenser, so that is a huge plus. Overall, I couldn't find any reason to not like this. I'd recommend!

Cocoon Apothecary Rosey Cheeks Facial Cream Review:
This moisturizer had a nice creamy, rich texture. There was hardly any scent, and the scent that was there was a barely there rose.

I have oily skin, so this wasn't a match for my skin type but I gave it to a friend with dry skin and she loves it! She says it's perfect because there is hardly any scent and it does a great job at hydrating her skin. She said she'd recommend it!
