About a month ago now a couple of parcels from online health superstore iHerb landed on my doorstep containing a new range of all natural body and hair products from madre labs.

The entire range carries a “no no-nos” meaning that they contain No sulfates, parabens, dyes, animal ingredients and animal testing and the product is also very eco-friendly and uses biodegradable ingredients.

My thoughts on the range, on the whole are very good. The shampoos, despite not foaming due to the lack of everything bad smelt INCREDIBLE and left my hair super clean and supersoft…something that doesn’t always happen when I use something I’ve picked up in one of the local shops. The tangerine scented leave in conditioner  is something I now won’t do without. It keeps my dry, unruly hair in check without weighing it down, or making it greasy and the smell reminds me of summer days (always a bonus at this time of year!)

I can’t find enough words of praise for the bodycare range. The entire lot is un-scented which suits me perfectly. I have super sensitive and super dry skin, and a phobia of the feel of anything greasy, meaning I don’t moisturise as often as I should.
The handcream especially has become a bit of a daily staple, which speaks volumes about how much I love a product and my hands are often neglected due to over-perfumed and over greasy products. This sinks in so fast and leaves my hands so soft I can’t imagine life without it!

I wish I had my own label so I could add a “daisychain approved” sticker to these products. I’m not a beauty blogger by any means, hence the somewhat wonky review, but I know what I like and I know how damn fussy I am (my beauty cupboard being  a graveyard to once used and discarded products).

The only place you can get these products is via iHerb who ship internationally at very, very reasonable rates. I’m a long time customer of theirs for food products, and now beauty.
If you want to make an order, you can get $5 off your first purchase using  ARU539,
