T is for Tame Taming Spray for Unruly Hair Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

T is for Tame was created to keep the unruly hair of babies and toddlers manageable by their parents. Becky, who founded T is for Tame, struggled to find a natural solution for her children's unruly hair, and decided to create those products. Her whole range of products makes hair manageable during humidity, days spent at the pool, and while traveling. Her products offer a practical solution for dealing with tangles, frizz, fly-aways and sensitive scalps during the summer months. 

While this range of products was created for babies and toddlers, I must emphatically state, as a person with naturally curly hair, that T is for Tame products are miraculous on my hair. Therefore, I think that these products are perfect for anyone who has hair that is prone to frizz, fly-aways, tangling and that is clearly impacted by humid weather.

T is for Tame Taming Spray is a very easy to use detangling and frizz-fighting spray that has a wonderful vanilla aroma. Simply shake the bottle, and then spray it directly onto wet or dry hair, and you can either brush it, or scrunch it. I scrunch my hair when I apply it to dry hair, and I brush it when I apply it to wet, freshly shampooed hair. It immediately detangles and moisturizes the hair without leaving it sticky or greasy, and it immediately makes hair manageable and frizz free. It also works wonders as a curl cream– enhancing gorgeous glossy locks!

According to T is for Tame,

TAME, DETANGLE & GO — EVERY DAY: Make this gentle, natural spray part of your child’s daily hair routine. It smooths frizz, tames flyaways, reduces static, and detangles knots—leaving hair soft, manageable, and ready to style. Perfect for everyday use to keep hair healthy and calm without sticky gels or harsh chemicals.

FOR ALL HAIR TYPES: The conditioning detangler spray is best for straight, wavy, or loose curls. Our detangling spray has an alcohol-free formula making it gentler on hair. Simply brush the lightweight formula into hair, and the natural coconut oil will absorb, calm, and smooth tresses. It may appear thicker because we use raw coconut oil instead of alcohol In our formula.

GENTLE FOR AGES 0 & UP: Clinically and dermatologically tested, our natural hair detangler is safe for babies but used by the whole family. We say no to chemicals, dyes, parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. We are a cruelty-free, vegan product.

MADE IN THE USA: Buy with confidence knowing our products are manufactured locally in Pennsylvania with natural ingredients like coconut oil, jojoba oil, tapioca starch, and vanilla fragrance oil.

Directions: Spray onto wet or dry hair and brush or scrunch.

Ingredients: See below.

Overall Assessment: Once again, while this was created for babies and toddlers, it works wonders on my naturally curly hair.

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

The  Boxwalla June Beauty Box features two exquisite potions from Twelve Beauty, one a NEW product formulated by Pedro, and the second a classic forever favorite! This is a Box that brings stillness back to skin. And how!

The Skincare Box from Boxwalla is the best beauty box subscription curated for the luxury-loving skincare enthusiast. In our beauty boxes, you will discover the most effective & innovative plant-based clean beauty products that redefine luxury skincare. By showcasing not only the benefits of each product we feature but also demonstrating how they can be incorporated into your skincare routine, we help you figure out how to take care of your unique skin needs.

Boxwalla June Skincare Subscription Box: The June Beauty Box features two gorgeous products from Twelve Beauty, and the theme is The Science of Stillness.

About Twelve Beauty,

In this Beauty Box, themed The Science of Stillness, we showcase the inimitable Spanish brand Twelve Beauty founded by Pedro Catalá. Pedro has a Master's degree in the Science and Technology of Cosmetic as well as a Ph.D. in Natural and Formulation Technologies. His rigorous study of botanicals & botanical formulation sprang from his interest in their therapeutic potential.

The contents of the June Skincare Box are: 

• Twelve Beauty B12 Calm Serum ($78)
• Twelve Beauty The London Mask ($92)

Twelve Beauty B12 Calm Serum ($78.00 value): This serum is especially formulated to calm reactive and irritated skin. It is very gentle, filled with anti-inflammatory ingredients and it calms and nourishes the skin. It helps reduce redness and inflammation– whether they are a result of skincare products or environmental aggressors. This beautiful ruby colored serum is lightweight and it melts into the skin and leaves behind no sort of residue whatsoever, and it has no detectable aroma.

My skin can be quite reactive, and many skincare products can irritate it, but this wondrous ruby elixir calms my skin at record speed. When products irritate my skin, such as strong exfoliants or specific ingredients that cause my skin to be reactive, I am often left with inflammation, redness and sometimes even dry and flakey skin. My skin is normal, with t-zone activity, and is not at all prone to dryness, but when my skin becomes reactive, I can depend upon this serum to calm irritation, nourish the skin and heal inflammation, redness and flakiness. This is a potent serum that can be used on sensitive skin, and it works wonders after exfoliation.

Pedro Catalá says, "B12 Calm Serum is my tribute to those reactive skins that tolerate nothing. Nothing in its composition is accidental; every ingredient has been chosen with a single purpose: to support & strengthen the delicate structure of the most compromised skin."

According to Twelve Beauty,

B12 Calm Serum is formulated for skin that overreacts to everything. This serums helps to reduce persistent redness, soothe reactive skin, and restore calm to complexions affected by sensitivity, inflammation or environmental aggressors. B12 Calm Serum has been carefully developed to meet these needs, offering a fast-absorbing, non-irritating formula that comforts, cools and protects from the first application.

This ultra-gentle serum harnesses the power of Vitamin B12, renowned for its anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties, alongside a curated blend of botanical extracts and biotech actives such as Alteromonas Ferment Extract. Together, they calm flare-ups, reduce visible redness, and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier.

Ideal for use on skin irritated by sun exposure or after surgery or cosmetic procedures. With regular use, skin appears more balanced, even-toned, and resilient.

Key Ingredients:

• Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): One of the best vitamins for supporting skin regeneration and reducing inflammation. It helps to soothe irritation and promote a more even skin tone, making it ideal for calming stressed or redness-prone skin.
• Acerola Extract: Exceptionally high in Vitamin C, it supports collagen production, protects against environmental stress, and reduces irritation that can exacerbate redness.
• Alteromonas Ferment Extract: A marine-derived active known to treat expression wrinkles, leaving skin smoother and more resilient.

Ingredients: Aqua, Alteromonas Ferment Extract, Propanediol, Panthenol, Glycerin, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Powder, Pca, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Lactate, Cyanocobalamin, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Pca, Glycine, Alanine, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Peel Powder, Valine, Proline, Micrococcus Lysate, Threonine, Isoleucine, Histidine, Phenylalanine, Caprylyl Glycol, Sclerotium Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Levulinic Acid.

Directions: Apply to clean skin morning and evening before moisturizer.

Twelve Beauty The London Mask ($92.00 value): This face mask is gentle and soothing, even for sensitive skin types. It is formulated to purify the skin, deeply cleanse it and it leaves skin soft, smooth, supple and radiant. It does not dry out the skin, and it has a wonderful light and nutty aroma. Instead of drying out the skin, it is left purified and moisturized instead of dry and irritated. It is gentle, and the hand-blended mask is formulated with Kaolin clay, Vitamin B5, Allantoin, Cucumber extract, Mallow Flower and plant-derived Squalane, and together these ingredients deeply cleanse and moisturize the skin. It is left clean, clear, moisturized, soft, smooth, supple and luminous. This is the most effective mask for my skin, and it is never left dry and irritated.

Pedro Catalá says, "Clays seem extraordinary to me, but I was always uncomfortable with the tight feeling they often leave. That's why I developed this mask as a handmade emulsion, which allows soothing and moisturizing ingredients to be delivered to the skin."

According to Twelve Beauty,

An innovative purifying mask for all skin types. It cleanses the skin deeply and is specially formulated to remove the traces of pollution that accumulate on our skin. Thanks to the oils in its formula and its production by hand, it does not dry out skin after use, including the driest and most sensitive. Sensitive skin is soothed and its radiance is restored.

Ingredients: Aqua, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Oryza Sativa Starch, Kaolin, Zinc Oxide, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Squalane, Panthenol, Glyceryl Stearate, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Glyceryl Laurate, Mallow Sylvestris Flower Extract, Allantoin, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Xanthan Gum, Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Parfum, Limonene, Linalool.

JR Liggett’s Tea Tree & Hemp Oil Shampoo Bar Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

JR Liggett’s Tea Tree & Hemp Oil Shampoo Bar is bar shampoo that effectively treats dry and flakey scalp and it's formulated to calm dermatitis. While I do not have dermatitis, I recently found that a drugstore hair dye formula had changed and left my scalp very irritated, itchy and dry. This shampoo has definitely helped return my scalp back to its pre-hair dye equilibrium. It boasts a satisfying lather and it rinses clean without leaving behind an unwanted oily residue.

According to JR Liggett's,

Tea Tree Oil has powerful antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties that help enhance our shampoo’s abilities to effectively tame dermatitis, itchy-flaky scalp conditions and may also stimulate hair growth!

Effective against the dandruff, in reducing it between washes, in relieving the itching and in cleaning the hair by about the 85% of consumers. View the efficacy test results for our Tea Tree & Hemp Oil shampoo bar. Hemp Oil contains a combination of essential fatty acids that supply your hair’s acute nutritional needs. Last but not least, Almond Oil is also added to provide the ever important moisturizing healthy hair requires.

Unique, contemporary, and totally terrific, this fine formulation of our bar shampoo is based on the original formulation but has no added fragrance. It is designed for people who prefer none, or have allergies to deal with.

Ingredients and Their Attributes:

Olive Oil: The remarkable benefits of olive oil have been known for thousands of years. It is a natural conditioner that makes hair shiny and soft, and is loaded with antioxidants to keep your scalp healthy. Olive oil fights hair loss by helping control dandruff, fungi, and bacteria. It prevents hair follicle shafts from narrowing by preventing DHT hormone production, letting you hold onto your hair longer. It can also improve blood circulation to the scalp and stimulate hair follicles, giving you thicker, healthier strands.

Coconut Oil: The main component behind our luxurious lather, coconut oil works wonders on the hair and scalp. The fats present in coconut oil retain the moisture content of the skin, and help eliminate further losses. The antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties found within protect from microbial infections than can enter through the pores. Coconut oil also contains Vitamin E, and is fantastic with skin disorders such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema.

Castor Oil: Native to Africa and India, this oil is well known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It accelerates blood flow to the scalp, thus increasing hair growth. It is very nourishing on the scalp and helps strengthen the roots with essential nutrients.

Tea Tree Oil: Native to Australia, the oil from the leaves of the tea tree is capable of killing stubborn germs and helps in clearing skin infections. Scabies and mites may be picked up from hospital stays, and the resultant scratching and itching can cause bleeding that can lead to infection. Tea Tree blends easily with the skin's oils and alters the chemical barriers of the skin thereby making it inhospitable for the growth of fungi and other organisms.

Hemp Oil: Hemp oil prevents water loss by injecting moisture into the hair and scalp, and can enhance hair growth. It is able to provide essential proteins during hair growth effectively by also improving blood circulation of the scalp.

Almond Oil: A great source of vitamins A, B, and E, almond oil contains high levels of proteins that rejuvenate dull, dry hair. It is very moisturizing and works wonders for those with itchy, dry skin, and split ends. Almond oil is very healing and soothing and makes hair strong and thick to help combat hair loss, and even offers protection against harmful UV radiation.

Overall Assessment: If you are dealing with a dry scalp, then this shampoo bar is definitely worth trying.

Hi Beautiful You Skin Perfecting Tint in Radiant is for fair to medium skin tones with neutral golden undertones. This shade disappears on my skin and just leaves a gorgeous natural glow with sun-kissed perfection. My skin is light, but more cool-toned, and yet this shade works perfectly for me.

Overall Assessment: If you love lighter coverage foundations, that really allow your skin to shine through, then the Hi Beautiful You Skin Perfecting Tint is a perfect choice for you. If you love medium to full coverage foundations, then this works beautifully on top of your foundation, or even underneath as a primer. I wear it all by itself because it offers the perfect amount of light coverage that I always seek.
