Product Review: Project Organic

Saturday, February 11, 2017


Organic beauty products are selling like pancakes, its popularity continues to increase as people recognize that there are a lot of ways to living green and natural, aside from eating organic foods and using organic household items. Thousands of organic skin-care products have been popping out in the market, Project Organic is one of them. Thanks to them we can finally bid  "Adios!“ to those nasty harmful chemicals that non-organic beauty products have. Did you know that these chemicals are easily absorbed by the skin? On the contrary, it is very difficult to be removed out of our system.

I was intrigued about these organic beauty products and wanted to try out its effectiveness. I came across Project Organic and took the liberty of testing it out myself. Project Organic uses ingredients that are certified organic, non-GMO, and gluten-free. Surely, 100% safe and cruelty-free. So far, I am very pleased with the effects of their products on my face. Honestly, my face has multiple problems - it is very oily and because of my acne breakout during puberty, I have a lot of pimple marks on my nose. I’m really happy that Project Organic products did solve out my problems, up until now I am still using their products. Not only is it effective, you will also be satisfied with the scent that each of their products has.  


Their packaging screams "organic!” I love how simple yet classy it is. It would be such a waste to throw out that little-brown-box and so I kept it and used it for another purpose. I also admire their effort on stamping my name. 


This is what it looked like inside. I love how they came up with the idea of putting dried leaves, dried flowers and other dried stuff. An A Plus for creativity! Furthermore, when you open the box you will be amazed by the aroma that comes from it - as though you were in a garden filled with flowers. 


I’m using three of their products - the Guava Face Soap, Face Mist, and Face Moisturizer. These products have been so handy especially now that our weather is extremely hot. It is a must-need for those who loves outdoor adventures to keep face fresh all throughout the day. Also, these products are good for all skin types. 

GUAVA FACE SOAP


Price: 115.00 Php / 65 grams

Ingredients: Lye, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Canola Oil, Guava (Psidium Guajava) Extract and Essential Oils.

Looking at the list of the ingredients this soap contains, most of it have a lot of benefits when applied to our face. Guava, when applied on our skin can help improve our skin’s texture, it is also great as a natural skin toner, helps fights visible signs of aging, fade blemishes and clears acne. Extra virgin olive oil is loaded with nutrition and antioxidants - this penetrates deep into our skin and provides the needed moisture to keep our face smooth and it can help repair skin damage. Coconut oil is also known for its many benefits on our face or skin, it is pretty much similar with extra virgin olive oil. You see? It is very important to know the benefits of each substance that your soap contains so that you would also be enlightened if it contains any bad chemicals too.
I use this soap twice a day, during the day and during the night. I personally love the scent of this soap - minty with a bit of floral smell, probably because it is fused with guava extract and essential oils like Peppermint and Lavender. This soap removes blemishes and pimples, perfect for any skin types. A little reminder, make sure to wash off the bubbles on your soap after using it because this will cause the soap to soften just like any other organic soap in the market. I also suggest that you cut it off into small pieces rather than using the whole soap. 

FACE MIST


Price: 500.00 Php / 60 mL

Ingredients: Rose Water, Argan Oil, Vitamin C, and Essential Oils

How to Use:
(Make sure that face is clean before using)
1. Shake well before using.
2. Spray on face with at least 6" distance.
3. Allow the mixture to dry before putting on make-up, moisturizers, or serums.

Note: Use daily.

Facial Mist is very essential these days, especially when you are always an on-the-go type of person. Studies show that there are two benefits of facial mist sprays - it can temporarily change the appearance of your skin in a good way, and it can help you feel good because of its cool and pleasant fragrance. It can give you back instantly the glow that your skin has when you feel that your skin has turned dull and dry because of the heat outside. This may also help set your make up and refresh it - you may use this product before and after applying make up. Due to the aroma that most of the facial mist have, it may also be used for aromatherapy - helps fight against depression, anxiety, insomnia and exhaustion. So whenever you are feeling down or tired within the day, just spray some of this and you might just be energetic and happy-dappy once again.
Before or after you spray Facial Mist on your face, make sure that you have applied moisturizer, to help guard your skin’s moisture. Project Organic also sells facial moisturizer and it is the perfect duo for this. Make sure to never overuse this as i
t may dry your skin more because when you mist your face, the water on your face evaporates. 

I put this Facial Mist in my bag and make sure I bring it with me every day. I spray Facial Mist before I leave home and whenever I feel like my skin is getting dry already thus hydration is needed. Their facial mist has this rosy scent and the scent last long. 

GUAVA FACIAL MOISTURIZER


Price: 210.00 Php / 15 mL

Ingredients: Organic Beeswax, Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Almond Oil, Grapeseed Oil, and Essential Oils

How to Use:
(Make sure that face is clean before using)
1. Get a small amount of moisturizer by pumping once. Warm product by rubbing fingers. This allows the product to be absorbed better.
2. Massage all over face using circular motions, avoiding eye area.

Note: Use daily. Preferably in the evening.

Do you want to have a younger looking skin? Softer skin? More elastic skin? More hydrated skin? Facial moisturizers can do the trick. Like their soap, their moisturizer also mainly contains guava extract. Aside from the other benefits of Guava I have mentioned above, Guava also has the ability to moisturize the skin. It is suggested that you apply moisturizer right after you clean your face, while it is still wet or damp.

I use this every day, at night specifically after I wash my face. It is said that moisturizer should be applied at the same time every day, it depends on you. It may be after you shave, after you take a bath during the day, or after you take a bath at night. The scent that their moisturizer have is also minty and whenever I smell it, it relaxes me that’s why i use it at night to help me fall asleep. 


Project Organic’s products are all locally made. When you buy from them, you also help our own economy and support Philippine-made products. Plus! Not only do you get to have effective organic products, but you also get to help students who are not financially stable and your money will also be use to build a retreat house, where people could spend quality time with God away from all the stress. It’s a win-win situation.
