Organix-South Review & Giveaway

Skin care is probably one of the biggest themes that I have going on around here right now. It seems that our skin really takes a beating and companies know this. So, it is no wonder that I keep discovering new companies that offer natural skin care products that are suitable for the entire family. One of the skin care items that I have been looking to try is an all natural bug repellent. Oh my goodness...the mosquitoes this year are the size of Africa! Every time I go outside...even during the day, the mosquitoes are out in full force and I get so many bites. It doesn't help that it has been a wetter summer and we have a huge, water-logged field behind our house FULL of standing water. This equals wonderful breeding conditions for those pesky biting critters. The other night, I was lying in bed when I heard that tell-tale sound of a mosquito. I stood up and immediately turned on the light-ready for battle. Unfortunately, I never did find that stupid mosquito but I sure did give it a good try!

Anyway, today I am going to introduce you to Organix-South; a company that specializes in Neem-based natural products. Neem is a tree that is native to India and this tree holds many cosmetic and agricultural uses. Organix-South carries many different products that are used for personal care, beauty, gardens and also for pets! Here is a bit more about this company and their mission...

We are the world’s leading manufacturer of certified-organic Neem products. Organix-South is a rapidly growing natural products division of Nutraceutical Corporation, located in rural central Florida supporting USA jobs. We are a young and idealistic group of individuals who believe that the details matter and that the journey is half the fun. We are committed to promoting organic, fairly traded and ethically wild-crafted herbal dietary supplements and protective body care products. Our mission is to create wholesome and natural products while taking care of the planet.

I love reviewing products that are natural, organic and wild-crafted. They have such unique properties that WORK for my family and I...I just can't help but share these companies and products with you!

So, for this review I was thrilled to receive the following products from Organix-South's TheraNeem line...

Neem Liquid Castile Soap

TheraNeem Leaf & Oil Lotion

Neem Mouthwash

Nail & Cuticle Pen

Naked Organix Neem Butter To Go

Neem Herbal Outdoor Spray

I was very excited to dig into my goodies and I wasted no time getting to know Organix-South. :) First, I tried the Leaf & Oil Lotion. 

This lotion is very nice. It feels great going on my skin and absorbs quickly while still making my skin feel nourished. I also loved that it didn't feel greasy, smelled pleasant and when I washed my skin, it didn't leave a filmy layer...you know how some lotions can still feel thick and goopy after washing your hands? This is not like that at all. I am wanting my husband to try this out as he has extremely itchy skin and this lotion is also good for that ailment. The travel sized Leaf & Oil Lotion that I received retails for $1.95.

Next, I tried the Naked Organix Neem Butter To Go. This is a unique product as it can be used for your lips, body and face. Now, I have only used it on my lips so far and have found that the taste is not pleasant. SO, I will probably keep it away from my lips and use it on my skin from now on. I will also say that it felt WONDERFUL on my lips so if I can convince myself to get beyond the taste, I might use it on my lips more often. :) My daughter loves any type of lip care product and so she also tried out this Butter. She didn't come back for more so I am assuming it is because of the taste. The Naked Organix Neem Butter To Go retails for $5.99.

The Neem Mouthwash is very nice as well. It definitely has some herbal undertones to it and yet, is very minty and fresh tasting. After using, my mouth did feel clean and it did seem to completely freshen my breath as well. The color threw me off though...brown mouthwash isn't the norm around here but something that I can definitely get used to. :) Neem Mouthwash retails for $3.99/Travel Size and $13.49/Full Size bottle. 

I have never seen a Nail & Cuticle Pen like this one before. Confession time: I am a nail-biter. Sometimes. One of the reasons I bite my nails is because they get split and instead of getting nail clippers, I bite them off. Nail biting is not something that I have always done as an adult, but rather shows up when I am stressed or sick. So, having a product like this Nail & Cuticle Pen is great because it can both strenghten my nails as well as keep the cuticles healthy. It is so easy to use as well...simply tilt the pen downward until you see some oil in the tip. Then, brush the oil onto your nails and cuticles. I have sore cuticles as well and this pen works really nicely to soothe them. I am LOVING this pen and am definitely going to keep using it! The Nail & Cuticle Pen retails for $15.49.

In the beginning of this post I spoke about mosquitoes. Well, we had a lot of work to do outside last night and I was dreading it because of the bugs. I. Hate. Bugs. Period. They are annoying and they bite and they buzz around my head in endless circles. So, before I started my work I applied the Neem Herbal Outdoor Spray. This spray was originally developed for the Florida Everglades and I just knew it had to be good if it was made for Florida. You all know about the bugs that are down there! YUCK. This spray goes on in a thick spray rather than a mist so you need to spread it around with your hands after applying. I made sure to cover my arms, neck, legs and head. The smell definitely tells you that it is a bug repellent...but I don't mind at all! I also put this on my children and husband as well. Mosquitoes are HORRIBLE here and so we need something really effective. Well, after being outside for over 2 hours I have to say that this spray worked wonderfully! The bugs that were around me prior to using this spray disappeared after I used the spray and I was hooked. So, make sure if you are planning a campfire, picnic or hike that you have this Herbal Outdoor Spray handy. IT WORKS. The Neem Herbal Outdoor Spray retails for $9.29 and is worth every penny. 

Last but not least I tried the Neem Liquid Soap. This soap is brown in color and seems watery. However, when you rub your hands together you do get a nice lather so don't let the consistency fool you. It can be used for body wash, bath soak, facial cleanser and some other uses as well. This particular liquid soap is unscented so if you are sensitive to scented products, this would suit you perfectly! You really do not need much and it leaves your hands feeling clean and soft. I had no issues with this soap drying out my skin either. The Neem Liquid Soap retails for $12.95.

Personally, I have been loving using these TheraNeem products from Organix-South. They are gentle on my skin and I love using natural products. The facts that these products are safe for my entire family is also relieving...my children have sensitive skin so using these products on them has been wonderful as well. I would definitely recommend Organix-South for anyone out there who is looking to use more natural-based and healthy products.
