Grown Alchemist Giving Body, Limited Edition Gift Set & Value pack - 300ml Body Cleanser & 300ml Body Cream

The Grown Alchemist è un brand australiano nato dalla brillante mente di due fratelli che hanno ben pensato di combinare ingredienti dalle proprietà uniche per realizzare dei prodotti per la cura della propria persona che fossero totalmente biocompatibili e naturali, proprio come questo set che vede come protagonisti un detergente e una crema corpo.Il packaging è divino. Parliamo di materiali e di una cura nella realizzazione davvero di altissima qualità.Sia il detergente corpo che la sua crema in abbinata sono prodotte con ingredienti vegani, ricercati e naturali; lo si può benissimo notare dal loro INCI.Tra gli ingredienti principali abbiamo infatti l'olio di bergamotto, l'olio di rosmarino, l'olio di jojoba e la macadamia. Da non dimenticare anche l'olio di mandarino e di neroli che contribuiscono alla fragranza di entrambe i prodotti.Sulla pelle sono fantastici. Non ungono, non appiccicano e non tirano la pelle, ma al contratio leniscono idratano e donano un effetto rilassante da paura (soprattutto grazie al loro profumo fresco e agrumato).Un set di altissima qualità utile quando si necessità di una coccola, per noi stessi oppure da regalare a qualcun altro 🎁.

This ‘Giving Body’ set by Grown Alchemist is a limited-edition gift set of body cleanser and body cream which came packaged in a nicely presented cardboard box and would make a lovely gift. The set feels premium and each bottle contains 300ml of product and is made of a brown plastic (although I did actually expect glass for the full RRP). The bottles dispense via a pump system and I found them easy to undo and they dispense a good amount.The body cleanser contains chamomile, bergamot and rose as the main scent contributors but the cleanser is packed full of natural plant-based ingredients which gently exfoliates and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and soft due to the inclusion of rosehip oil. However, it is worth noting that there isn’t much lather to the cleanser.The body cream is scented with mandarin and rosemary leaf and in combination with the shea butter, jojoba oil and rosehip oil offer a good level of hydration and nourishment for your skin. The cream isn’t greasy and given a bit of time absorbs well, leaving my skin moisturised. You don’t need a lot of either product as a little goes a long way.Both products smell fantastic and lingers on your skin for a good amount of time afterwards. I would describe the fragrances as unisex – the brand reminds me a bit of Molten Brown. The body cleanser and body cream are made from natural ingredients and are both vegan and cruelty free. The brand behind the skincare kit has excellent credentials in terms of ethical standards whilst providing luxury products – I’m very impressed by this company.Priced at £23.97 (with an additional 15% off voucher valid until the 31st December 2024) at the time of reviewing, this is an excellent price for the quality of the products (although remember the RRP was £39). The body cleanser and body cream are luxury products which contain good quality ingredients without any nasties. The set makes a lovely treat for yourself or a beautiful set to gift – I would highly recommend. Although aimed for the festive season the gift set is lovely all year round.

J'avais découvert cette marque plus ou moins au hasard en surfant sur les sites féminins, dont beaucoup en faisaient la promotion. J'avais donc essayé quelques-uns des produits composant leur gamme et j'avais été très agréablement surprise : qualité indéniable (tant au niveau de la composition que des effets réels sur l'épiderme), tarif abordable au regard de la qualité (mieux que du haut de gamme, et moins cher), et esthétique générale sobre mais ô combien plus classieuse que certains concurrents s’épanchant dans les couleurs et les paillettes à ne plus savoir quoi en faire. Bref, c'était donc assez confiante que je me suis procurée cet ensemble lotion lavante et crème pour le corps.Si le tout arrive conformément à ce qui était prévu, à savoir un joli coffret bien fichu, le contenu est un poil moins satisfaisant. En effet, si la crème pour le corps tient toutes ses promesses, il en va légèrement différemment du gel nettoyant. Car on se demande bien ce qui est passé par la tête de notre bon alchimiste pour avoir l'envie d'y inclure du phénoxyéthanol, perturbateur endocrinien potentiel dont la dangerosité est encore mal évaluée (et dont en revanche l'impact écologique est bien évalué, et il se révèle extrêmement énergivore), pour des bénéfices de conservation certes pas inutiles, mais dont beaucoup de concurrents ont su désormais se passer. C'est dommage, et j'ai été plutôt étonnée de cette faute de goût.Si les odeurs estivales sont toujours aussi appréciables, si la crème pour le corps se révèle bien hydratante (et délicieuse avec son odeur de romarin), cela jette néanmoins un petit froid sur ce coffret qui paraissait avoir tous les atouts pour être parfait. Attention, la qualité globale reste satisfaisante dans son ensemble (le gel douche fait le job malgré le phénoxyéthanol hein !), mais nettement moins que celle entraperçue dans les coffrets précédents que je m'étais procurée. Petite fausse note ou début de la voie de la facilité pour Grown Alchemist ? A suivre, en espérant que cela ne demeure qu'une légère sortie de route !

Devo essere sincera, prima di provare questo prodotto non conoscevo affatto questa marca, ma sono felice di aver voluto provare comunque questo set corpo.Il set è composto da un body cleanser e una crema corpo, entrambi con fragranze particolari che non mi sarei mai aspettate di trovare in questi prodotti: il body cleanser è praticamente un detergente corpo che serve ad eliminare la sporco e le cellule morte; il profumo è buonissimo, delicato e rilassante grazie alle note di bergamotto, rosa e camomilla.La crema corpo, invece, ha un'ottima azione idratante che si assorbe facilmente nella pelle e non lascia unti e appiccicosi, ma sfortunatamente il profumo non fa proprio per me, poiché della fragranza a base di mandarino e rosmarino sento solo quest'ultimo, cosa che non apprezzo molto.La qualità dei prodotti è senza alcun dubbio ottima, ma a causa del rosmarino per me perde un po' di punti.

The products themselves come in a nice amber-coloured containers with pump dispensers.The shower gel/cleanser has a subtle scent, mostly of bergamot and rose. The gel does not foam up much at all but it is easy to massage it into the skin and easy to rinse off. I did not find it drying.The body cream has a mandarin and rosemary scent. The rosemary scent is what I could detect first and them nice subtle mandarin scent lingered after application. The cream is rich but easy to spread onto the skin and absorbs quickly and well. It does not leave a greasy film on the skin. My skin feels very soft and smooth after I use this body cream. It is really great for autumn/winter cold weather.In terms of the gift packaging - the two products come in a simple nice cardboard box. There are list of ingredients for both products on the side of the box but these are very difficulty to read as they are printed in a shiny red print on matte red paper. However, fortunately, the ingredients are also on the bottles themselves.The products are vegan and cruelty-free but I did not see the usual well-known cruelty-free bunny logo on the products (there is a slightly different cruelty-free logo on the bottles).
