ACURE: Total Body & Hair Care

photo-120

Acure has become one of my favorite toxic-free brands in the recent years. Its budget friendly, available at my local stores, and their products WORK! Their product line contains skin care, body care, baby care, and hair care. I love that there’s a variety of products to choose from such as shampoos, conditioners, face moisturizers with powerful anti-oxidants, body washes, shaving gels, etc.

Firming Body Lotion: ($10) I’ve been using this product as a daily body moisturizer for over a year now and can definitely see a difference in the tightness of my skin. You won’t see results in the first month, but after continued use, there should be some progress with firming and replenishment in moisture. The lotion contains powerful ingredients such as evening primrose, and rosehip oils to firm up; cocoa butter to add moisture and elasticity to the skin; aloe vera and coconut oil to soothe any irritations; CoQ10 for cell growth and repair of damaged skin.

Ingredients: Organic Curoxidant™ Blend [(Organic Euterpe 0leracea (Acai) Berry, Organic Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry), Organic Rosa Canina (Rosehips), Organic Punica Granatum (Pomegranate), Organic Calendula Officinalis (Calendula), Organic Matricaria Recutita (Chamomile), Organic Fair Trade Aspalanthus Linearis (Rooibos), Organic Camelia Sinensis (Mango Ceylon), Organic Aloe Barbensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Organic Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Organic Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Glyceryl Stearate SE (vegetable derived), Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oil, Infusion of Organic Calendula Officinalis Flower in Organic Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Organic Argania Spinosa (Argan) Oil, Glucono Delta Lactone (Fermented Sugar), D-Alpha Tocoperyl Acetate (Natural Vitamin E), Organic Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Potassium Sorbate (Food Grade Preservative), Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Stem Cell Culture, Organic Chlorella Pyrenoidosa Extract (Chlorella Growth Factor), Marrubium Vulgare (White Horehound) Stem Cell Culture, Echinacea Stem Cell Culture, Fermented Resveratrol Extract (Probiotic), CoQ10, Olea Europea (Olive) Leaf Extract, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus (Lemongrass), Lavendula Dentata (French Lavender), Evernia Prunastri (Oakmoss), & Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Essential Oils


Argan Stem Cell + CoQ10 Dry Shampoo: ($10) This is probably my favorite product in the entire line! I have fine, past shoulder length hair and wash my hair every other day. On the off days, I must use dry shampoo; otherwise, my hair will be a bit dirty looking on the roots. I have tried countless dry shampoos and most are very sticky, leave a prominent white residue, or too perfumey. This dry shampoo keeps my hair clean, fresh and voluminous all day without touching up. Simple and clean ingredients.

IngredientsOrganic Corn Starch (non GMO), French White Clay (Kaolin), Oat Flour,  Slippery Elm Bark Flour, Argania spinosa (Argan) Stem Cells,Ubiquinone (CoQ10), Lavender essential oil, chamomile essential oil


Argan Oil + Argan Stem Cell Leave-in Conditioner: ($10) This is a very lightweight leave-in conditioner that untangles damp hair very well and doesn’t leave a film or any residue. It provides hair with shine and hydration, due to argan oil and protects against any heat appliances. The scent is very herbal (rosemary + other herbs), which I don’t mind because it doesn’t linger. This is one of those basic hair products that no woman or man should be without.

Argan Cleansing Towelettes (Unscented): ($7) Finding natural face cleaning towelettes that completely remove all traces of makeup is a bit of a challenge. I was using the Alba Botanica towelettes before switching to Acure. The Alba Botanica has some ingredients that aren’t as clean such as, SLS, sodium benzoate, and benzoic acid. All of those are linked to being carcinogens. The scent (Alba Botanica) is also very botanical/ perfumey. Acure is completely unscented for those with fragrance sensitivities. It removes all makeup, including eye makeup really well and doesn’t clog my pores or leave my skin irritated, or dry.

Ingredients: Water, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Organic Argania Spinosa (Argan) Oil, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Potassium Sorbate (Food Grade Preservative), Citric Acid (Food Grade), Glyceryl Caprylate (From Glycerin + Coconut), Glyceryl Undecylenate (From Glycerin + Castor Bean Oil)
