Carapex
I am going to start this post by giving you a challenge. Go back to your bathroom pick up the first beauty product you see and read the ingredients...
Yeah not to pretty huh? My little sister struggles with eczema, for those of you thinking oh so she has dry skin you are wrong. My sisters hands break out in rough patches of skin so sever they often crack open. My sister can't go to the dentist with out her face breaking out in this "dry skin" and she has to be careful of every single product she uses. Heck doing the dishes even cause her pain.
Since I started my blog I have made it my personal mission to help find products that she can use.
I know I challenged you to read the back of the first beauty product. Now I want to tell you 1/2 of the things you read my sister cant use. And even though I don't have eczema I often wondered is this hurting my skin too?
The answer is yes! Over time these harsh chemicals will damage your skin cells or your hair.
But what if I told you there was a company that offered products who tried to use mostly natural ingredients? A company that has cracked the code on what ingredients can help us to look younger, longer? That takes items that normally were only available to the rich and have made them affordable to everyone?
I have found said company and can't wait to tell you all about them.

Carapex products are formulated with natural and nutritious ingredients to help balance the body and the senses. They use natural and wildcrafted herbs and essential oils from their native regions around the world. They make sure to only use the strict minimum amount of artificial ingredients necessary when no natural option exists.
And that don't stop there they make them affordable! Wondering what kind of products they offer?
Well just to name a few
hand & foot products
facial products
body care products
hair products
and so much more!
And they offer several choices in each category. Now I could list everything they have, but it would take forever :) So I will focus on the four items I was personally able to review.
Pure Mauve Invigorating Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner
Contains high content of pure Australian Tea Tree Oil to clarify your scalp and calms itchiness. SLS free Shampoo thoroughly cleanses your hair and scalp, leaving no residue
Silicon free Conditioner instantly tames frizzy, brittle hair, returning your hair's natural body and shine.
It's gentle formula softly cares for your hair and is suitable for all hair types.
Sulfate-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free!
Um yeah pretty awesome right!
And I don't know how many of you have ever smelled Tea Tree before, but it is one of my FAVORITE scents for beauty products. It has a real earthy woodsy smell. And if you have a minute pull up google and do a search for all the benefits of Tea Tree Oil... You are going to be pretty impressed :)
I used this on my hair for 1 week at this point and I'm pretty impressed not only with the shine, but also with the super clean feeling! No itchy scalp and my hair doesn't feel heavy. I have thick hair so I have to be careful on what products I put into it. I even left my sister have the rest of my bottles and she has not had enough break out issues!
So huge plus for making my hair shiny and health and for also being gentle enough for my sister's skin!
Okay since we are on the subject of Tea Tree Oil let me tell you about the next product I was able to review.
This product was Specially designed to be gentle and moisturizing, but to also thoroughly cleanses skin! It helps to clear up all types of skin issues.
With soft circle motions you can gently wash away grease, grime, makeup, and impurities. The Tea Tree leaves your skin feeling clean, supple and smooth! I love that the Tea Tree seems to have a soothing, cooling effect!
We all have those days when we wake up and our face just feels like BLAH. I want something to wake me up and take that horrible rosiness from my cheeks. With this soothing, cooling sensation it helps to calm the most distressed inflammation!
Giving my face a fresh supple look.
It contains pure Australian tea tree oil, aloe vera, cucumber, green tea and chamomile extracts and much more!
Yeah these are things I would pay top dollar for at the spa. Yet thanks to Carapex I can use them for a fraction of the cost in the comfort of my own home.
Oh and I noticed if I use it after my shower (When my skin is all tight feeling) it helps to loosen it up and makes my face feel soft instead of tight :)
Okay so I know I impressed you with the Tea Tree oil products. The lovely people at Carapex sent me one final product to review. Now I dont like to play favorites, but my feet are having a heck of a time this summer. (I have a bad habit of walking barefoot in the grass) So this next items has been a much needed relief for my tired, dry feet.
Embrace the instant relief for your cracked heels, dry feet offered by our Foot Super Moisturizing Butter Cream. Using natural shea butter and cocoa butter as the base.
It has a rich thickness, but is not greasy at all! Which is great since I like to put it on right before bed. I would hate to see greasy footprints all over my sheets! It has a real nice smooth buttery texture. I love that it instantly moisturizes, soothes and calms my feet!
Provides fast relief for cracked, dry, scaly feet, helps soften callus
Oh and it is paraben-free, fragrance-free, harsh chemicals-free and cruelty-free

I love each and every products I used from Carapex! They left my skin and hair feeling amazing without using harsh chemicals! I want my skin and hair to stay young looking for as long as possible and Carapex gives me confidence that I can keep them younger longer!
