Skin & Nail Treatment | Lady Soma | Product Review


Lady Soma is an all natural, healthy and holistic source of women's probiotic supplements and skincare, which are all specially formulated to fit women's needs. (from the website)

 The other day, I received this little jar of hand cream in the mail. I was intrigued by the fact that it was totally free of sulfates and parabens, propylene glycol and mineral oils, silicone, dyes, and artificial fragrances. I have extremely sensitive skin, and have had a very hard time finding any kind of hand cream or lotion that doesn't either dry out my skin or cause me to break out in hives, so I was eager to try it out...


Lady Soma Skin & Nail Treatment is a lightweight deep moisturizer formulated to repair dry and cracked skin, and hydrate and soften cuticles. It has a very light, clean scent that is slightly floral. I absolutely love how soft my hands feel after applying this cream! It doesn't hurt that my nails get all shiny, too. They are also thicker and less brittle now that I've been using the cream for a while. Great stuff!

You can connect with Lady Soma on Facebook and Twitter, and you can purchase your own jar of Skin & Nail Treatment on their website here for only $15.99 for a limited time.

Truly natural, truly pure household products... Effective, toxin-free products your pet will love... Healthy plant-based products for your baby... ecoSTORE USA products provide safe, healthy alternatives to everyday brands, while at the same time featuring outstanding performance and value for the dollar... All ecoSTORE USA products are plant and mineral based and free of toxic ingredients.

These are just a few of the sentiments you will find at the ecoStore USA. And guess what? They're true!

I received two fantastic products from the ecoStore to try out, and I love them both...

{ Coconut & Vanilla Hand Wash }

Nick and I both enjoy the scent of Coconut & Vanilla Hand Wash, though both of us wish that it had a little more lather. The formula is smooth and light weight, and leaves your hands feeling both clean and refreshed. A little goes a long way, too, which is great because you don't have to replace it often. Made with essential oils, wheatgerm and wheat protein, and completely free from Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, artificial dyes, perfumes and preservatives, this hand soap leaves your skin's natural oils where they belong - on your skin - and doesn't dry out your skin, instead leaving it moisturized and silky smooth.


I have found that a full pump dispenses way more soap than you actual need, so I only press down enough for a small pearl of soap to appear (the amount in the picture is about half a pump, and is still far more than you really need). Overall, I love this soap, and once you figure out how much you really need, the absence of lather doesn't matter.

{ Laundry Detergent 32oz }

This Laundry Detergent is by far my absolute favorite laundry soap I have ever used, and I will definitely be a repeat customer. With a very faint scent reminiscent of these little white flowers that grow in the fields of my native Montana, and Eucalyptus oil, it leaves nothing behind on your clothes but a clean, fresh scent. I have a very sensitive respiratory system and very sensitive skin, and I love that - unlike other detergents that make my skin and nose itch, and give me headaches from the perfumes used - this detergent leaves my skin alone, and the scent doesn't bother me at all!


Its super concentrated formula allows you to use as little as half a capful per load of laundry, and as you can see, these caps are pretty small to begin with. This tiny bottle of detergent really stretches!


Just add your soap directly to your load of laundry - no staining, unlike some detergents! This product is specially formulated to be used with delicates and woolens, as well as with your regular laundry. I use it with everything from denims to towels to my infant daughter's tiny clothing and blankets! You can also use this detergent with HE washers.


The back of each ecoStore product has information about the specific product, as well as earth-friendly information about a variety of topics. The bottle itself is recyclable, light weight (as is the product inside), and it easily wipes clean if any detergent spills, so you never get that nasty sticky residue on the outside of the bottle.

You can connect with the ecoStore directly by "liking" their Facebook page, or following them on Twitter.

Want to win some of these great products for yourself? The great folks at the ecoStore are kindly sponsoring a giveaway of five of their fantastic bar soaps (one in each scent, including the baby bar) to one of my lucky readers!
