Last month, I reviewed Nourish Organic Body Lotion that I found in my stash. And I complained that it wasn’t hydrating enough for my very dry skin. The folks at Nourish Organic read my review, and they were kind enough to send me two products designed for very dry skin like mine for me to try out.
Skin-Softening Organic Body Butter
Nourish Organics Skin-Softening Organic Body Butter is a blend of whipped shea butter, concentrated coconut oil and olive oil and vitamin E. It’s a very rich, I’d call it heavy-duty, solid cream that has the thick consistency of whipped shea butter. I scoop it out of the pretty jar with my fingers and apply it to my skin. It sinks in right away. It’s not greasy, but it leaves the coating or coated feeling that whipped shea butter does.
I received Fresh Fig, and it is a lovely, very soft, almost indiscernible scent. I like it. It also comes in 3 other scents as well as Unscented. The jar, made from recycled materials, is decorated with beautiful drawings of figs and fig leaves. Very pretty.
The jar contains 3.6 oz., and it is the right size IMHO. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by huge tubs of shea butter, lol. The price is $9.99.
I like the Skin-Softening Organic Body Butter. Because to me this is a heavy-duty moisturizer, I’ll be using this most often during the winter when my skin is extra dry.
Ingredients: Organic Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Organic Vanilla Planifolia Fruit infused Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Organic Fragrance*, Organic Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
Skin Solve
Skin Solve is a new product from Nourish Organics. They describe it as a “cream-to-oil all-over treatment”. It comes in a tube. Although it is made from many different oils, it squeezes out as a pale orange-yellow cream and turns to a dry oil when I rub it in. Because the cream is so thick, it requires a good strong hand to squeeze it out!
Here’s what else the company says about it:
- “Improves skin’s appearance and texture with a quick-absorbing,
fast-acting blend of plant, fruit, and flower oils and butters - Anti-oxidant and aromatic Sweet Orange and Palmarosa smooth and soften; Shea, Coconut, and Pumpkin Butters nourish and soothe”
Skin Solve is a rich moisturizer like the Body Butter, but it gets absorbed by my skin quite easily. Although very hydrating too, it seems like a perfect product for now as well as for winter – perhaps because of the tube form.
The light orange scent from Sweet Orange and Rose Hip smells fabulous! I can smell it when I’m rubbing it in but then the scent dissipates.
New Skin Solve is a terrific moisturizer that can be used for body, face, hair or wherever that comes in a very intriguing product form. I’m enjoying using it. The tube contains 3 oz./85 g and is priced at $19.99.
Ingredients: Organic Shea Butter, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Pumpkin Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Cupuacu Butter, Organic Rose Hips Oil, Organic Beeswax, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Organic Soy Lecithin, Vitamin E, Organic Palmarosa Oil
Both products from Nourish Organic really meet my very dry skin needs, and they are pleasant to use. If your skin isn’t as dry as mine, try the Body Lotion. Most important, both products are certified USDA Organic. And what they don’t contain is very reassuring: no parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, artificial fragrances or preservatives silicones, propylene glycol, mineral oils, sulfates, synthetic dyes, triclosan, EDTA or aluminum. Nourish Organic products are cruelty free, GMO free, and as they say, “concern free”. They are made in the U.S.
They are widely available in stores in the US including Target, Walgreens, Whole Foods, Wegman’s and many health food stores. They are also sold on the Nourish Organic website where you can always get a 10% discount by signing up for their newsletter. But right now on their website, they’re running a 20% off mix and match promotion on body butter, body wash, deodorant and more. It goes through July 31, 2015. Check it out!
Nourish Organic makes lots of different skincare and personal care products that you can buy in a variety of natural scent collections (or unscented) if you like, including deodorant, cleansers, body wash, facial skincare etc. So many more products for me to try! Have you tried any Nourish Organic products yet?
On a different topic – GIVEAWAYS, I am remiss – I forgot to announce Andrea D. as the winner of the StriVectin Repair & Protect Moisturizer SPF 30. Congrats to Andrea! And don’t forget to enter the giveaway that’s going on now: 6 shades of butterLONDON Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayons, ARV $120, enter here. It’s on through July 27.
The scent of the skin solve sounds amazing! I love products for dry skin as I tend to get patches of it every now and then, so a heavy duty cream ends up being pretty useful

I love orange-scented creams too, Stephanie! I discovered Nourish Organic skincare products via several ipsy bags, and they really do have an amazing array of organic products at affordable prices. Hope they go international some day
These products sound fantastic! I am obsessed with rich body butters and multi-taskers, and think that I would love this line!

Nourish Organics has a huge affordable line of organic skincare products. This one of the good brands I learned about through ipsy!
What a great discovery! How thoughtful of them to send richer products more appropriate to your needs! I read your interview on Jamie’s blog, and was thrilled to learn that you actually studied Art History in college! I knew I adored you and that we had a lot in common, but now this too! I did my BA, MA and Ph.D. in that field, and that’s what at teach in college! <3

I definitely thought you studied art history too, Helen! I went to grad school in psychology, however, coz I thought I’d have a better chance of getting a job, lol. Where do you teach?
The scent of this sounds amazing. I’m very into those light and fresh smelling products. Also, how nice of a company to take the time to read your review AND send you products better matched for your needs. That makes me love them that much more!
Christine recently posted…Simply Stine Reviews: GLAMGLOW Flashmud Brightening Treatment
Wasn’t that amazing?! The fresh fig and the orange scents are both very like and very pleasant. I’ve used their eye cream and face cream that I received in past ipsy bags, and those are unscented. I carry them in my purse makeup bag. Nourish Organic really is a wonderful and affordable organic brand!
I really like that Skin Solve thingie, it’s a great multi-purpose product for the whole body 🙂
It’s a very cool skincare product, for sure, Anastasia! So far, I’ve only used it on my body but I like the multitasker aspect of it too.
These both look great! I haven’t tried anything from Nourish yet but I keep meaning too! I love their packaging.

I agree, Tess, there packaging and the gorgeous botanical drawings on the packaging are just lovely!
I’ve only seen this brand at Jimbo’s Natural Health Food Store, but I’ll check out Walgreens. I’m always on the look out for good organic products. The wild berry body butter sounds wonderful.
Monica.

Monica, they’re having a 20% off promotion on the Nourish Organic website now through July 31 so it may be worth it to check out their website. I have also purchased Nourish Organic in Ulta in the past, but I don’t know if it’s still available there.
That’s awesome customer service from Nourish. I love it when a company really listens! The Skin Solve is so unique! I need to try that.
Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…Alll The Soap Scents You Never Knew You Needed! #Soapdotclub
It is a cool product, Nidia! It feels thick coming out of the tube, but it sinks right into my skin like an oil, and it doesn’t leave behind an oily feeling but a thin coating of a cream. And yes, I was floored when I heard from Nourish Organic after I wrote that review on a product I had purchased. The Body Lotion is a perfectly good product just not for dry-as-a-bone folks like me! I’m definitely better suited to their heavy-duty moisturizers like the Body Butter and Skin Solve.
That skin solve sounds really nice, I think its interesting that you can use it anywhere. Also, fig is one of my favorite scents so I’d love to smell that body butter!
Kristina Vieweg recently posted…Ipsy vs Birchbox | July 2015
Skin Solve is quite an innovative product, and the orange scent is great! Fresh fig is a lovely, very soft fragrance. These products are both great for winter or for those with dry skin.
I have Nourish Organic Renewing Eye Cream and I’m loving it. I have dark circles under my eyes and this eye cream is awesome. It’s very nice of the company to read and resend you something for dry skin. I’m also on a dryer skin type 😐
sharon recently posted…Ipsy July Glam Bag – Unbagged
I’ll have to check to see if that’s the one that I keep in my purse makeup bag, Sharon. I’m so glad that you’re getting great results from the eye cream. The folks at NO really are great!
How amazing of them to send you some of their stronger stuff, they both sound wonderful! I’m also plagued with dry skin, and the skin salve sounds so great for colder winter months up north!

Yes, I was very lucky that the folks at Nourish Organic were good enough to read my first review on a product I bought and then send me two they thought were more appropriate for me! How nice is that! The Skin Salve is a very innovative product that would most likely be good for anyone with dry skin…plus you can use it on your face and hair as well, though I haven’t tried that yet 🙂
I love that the body butter is such a great price!
Jessica recently posted…Sephora Formula X Kaleidoscope and Chroma-Zone swatch + review
Yes, an especially good price for organic skincare 🙂
I just love this brand, they are so awesome!
Heather recently posted…Guerlain Maxi Lash So Volume Mascara
I definitely love the fact that Nourish Organic has such a huge product line at affordable prices and is easy to find in stores!
I am curious about the fig scented body butter. I can’t imagine what they must smell like. I wouls really love to give it a little sniff.
Tee recently posted…Nail Solution
Nourish Organic may be carried at your local Walgreens so you might be able to sniff it there, Tee! Fig smells slightly different from brand to brand. This is a deep sweet scent that’s very soft and doesn’t linger after the body butter is applied. Estee Lauder uses fig as their signature scent but it’s a strong, longer lasting scent than this one.
I like that it can be used all over.

The Skin Solver is very cool that way. I love multitaskers
This sounds awesome. I love coconut oil products. 🙂
Nourish Organics skincare is such a great affordable deal for organic! And yes, the mixture of coconut oil with other oils and shea butter is a fab combo 🙂
I love the packaging and these both sound like great moisturizers. The Skin Solve sounds particularly interesting.

I agree, Bailey, the package design is gorgeous, and Skin Solve is quite unique!
It’s great to hear that these worked better for your dry skin. Nourish is a great brand!
Tashina recently posted…Too Faced Born This Way Foundation Review
It is a wonderful brand, and it was terrific of them to help me find the right products for my needs!
The scent of skin solve sounds lovely. the packaging is really cute too!
I agree with you on both. The orange scent is lovely and those botanical drawings are so pretty and appropriate!
Looks like a great product line! I love the packaging.
Justina recently posted…Marcia’s Guilty Pleasures
Yes, the packaging is awesome. Just love the botanical drawings
I’ve never been a fan of body butters because I don’t like how greasy they are, but the ones you got sound amazing!:)
These are not “greasy”, Valerie, but they do leave your skin with a coated feeling. Since I have such dry skin, keeping the moisture in is a positive. You would probably do much better with their much lighter weight lotion 🙂
I’m not crazy about a jar but I love me some orange scent.
