 Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

From the very moment that I tried my first African Botanics product, I was utterly smitten. When I bonded with Owner/Co-Founder, Julia Noik, it was the final step in my resolve that this was among my very very favorite companies of all time (not to mention the fact that I absolutely adore her)! African Botanics products are not just among the very highest quality on the market, but I am fairly certain that they are sprinkled with magical fairly dust in addition to love. Furthermore, the products are so effective and healing that you will be utterly astounded by them. In a day and age when many companies overstate the merits of their products, African Botanics takes a much more modest approach. The result of this understatement is the discovery that each of their products consistently exceed expectations, and the results are always amazing.
African Botanics Marula Botanical Body Cream is "a 100% natural, deep moisturizing, anti-aging beauty treatment, that helps restore skin’s suppleness & softness.  Formulated with omega rich, African Marula Oil, it provides instant relief & comfort as well as intense, long-lasting nourishment to the most dehydrated & lipid-depleted areas of the body (hands, feet, elbows & knees).

African Botanics Marula Botanical Body Cream is definitely a miracle Holy Grail product when it comes to reviving traumatized dehydrated skin. It has a delectable scent courtesy of the beautiful blend of oils-- making the skin smell delicious. The extend to which it hydrates the skin is rather astounding, and it does this task so effectively that it re-texturizes dehydrated and traumatized skin.

  2. This sounds amazing. I am a body oil lover but, lately, I have been so lazy that I even abandoned my body scrubs, which were my oily predilection. I need to try this. It looks exactly like what my decrepit skin needs right now; specially if it comes certified by Lola as holy grail ;)
    Happy Thursday darling Helen!

  3. Hi Helen :D
    I couldn't agree with you more in your review about this divine body cream! Ever since your review about the face oil from African Botanics I knew I had to try it. Once I received it I fell in love with it & sought to try some other products from this brand, plus it didn't hurt at the time Beauty.com had a 20% off discount so I went ahead & purchased the firming body oil, intense skin repair body balm, along with this body cream. I love everything so far- next up I am tempted to try their eye serum. If it wasn't for your lovely review on the marula oil for the face I would have never known about this wonderful brand! Thank you so much Helen! Happy Holidays!
