I grew up with a garden-loving Mom. She grew lavender in our backyard. She would snip it in the warm months and then let it dry and crush it. I remember placing the fragrant buds in a glass bowl and smelling it all year long. Looking back now, this was a wonderful fragrant blessing to have in my yard! Living in Florida now, no lavender will grow here. But - - I can still enjoy it all the time via fragrant blends as well as Lavender Essential oil all by itself as it does not need a carrier oil in order to apply to your skin. This oil is my favorite!
For this product testing, I made homemade laundry detergent (email for me for the "recipe"). Since the detergent is not that smellylicious (my own word), I needed to find a natural way to scent the detergent without a residue or artificial scent. Every load of wash after filling the soap tray, I add 4 drops of Elrique Naturals Lavender Essential Oil. It is the perfect scent and better than "Mrs. Meyers" lavender soap and it costs not even pennies per load!
I make my own body products as well as household products not only to save money, but also for convenience and health. You do not need a lot of time to get organized in your laundry room or your bathroom to begin a healthier lifestyle.
Elrique Naturals has made it easy to begin saving and enjoying a healthier lifestyle. I recommend this product because it has 1 ingredient which is 100% pure lavender. I could write many blog entries about how to enjoy lavender essential oil (ala Bubba in Forest Gump)...
I may not ever successfully grow lavender in my backyard as long as I live in sunny South Florida, but I can head to my laundry room or bathroom any hour of the day and inhale it's fragrant goodness. I just don't tell anyone that I am always thrown back to my teens standing in the Jersey grass in my bare feet next to the above-ground pool when inhale this oil. Life is good! Lavender always puts a smile on my face and now a familiar fragrance in my laundry room. Find your signature "fragrance" today!

One ingredient but so many benefits! This carrier oil was a welcome addition to my health care regime. After recently battling a thyroid condition, my hair became brittle and started falling out by brushfuls for 5 days. Quite humbling situation for me - a scary situation. And so, I am in the rebuilding stages of hair care and thus was quite excited to review Jojoba Oil by Elrique Naturals.
Here is what I did for this review. I call this concoction my Health Loss Help Blend: I mixed 3 drops each of Rosemary, Cedarwood and Lavender with 2 oz. Jojoba Oil. Easy to measure in a pet rubber syringe or the handy dandy measuring shot glass I keep in my bathroom. I used an amber glass container to store my oils. Shook well. Massaged into hair and scalp for 5 minutes. Left on hair for 1 hour, then washed. I will do this 1-2 times a week because it was that tingly good and left my hair squeaky clean. The frizzy brittle hair is gone. I did trim the ends of my hair before using this oil blend.
While sitting with the oil on my head, I read a book and drank a cup of coffee. The summer here in Florida is almost gone and a cool crisp wind had just come from the East. I had a grateful moment as I inhaled the oils. I detected Rosemary as the predominant scent. Jojoba oil does not have a scent but is the perfect oil to add another essential oil to it so that it can be applied to the skin.
I devised another fun way to enjoy Elrique Naturals Jojoba Oil. I have a ton of pretty powders with mica. I am referring to cosmetic grade shimmer here. I have been buying the Burt's Bees Radiance lotion but it has gotten pricey and the company has changed hands and I just decided I am not going to buy it anymore. And so, I have added the shimmer to the Jojoba Oil and am now using it as a body shimmer oil. Fun, right? The glitter stays on longer and is subtle. This oil is anything but greasy and sinks into my skin lickety split!!
Another generous, well-priced product by Elrique Naturals! Thanks for the opportunity, HealthBizDirect!

I started out this review targeting my skin. I applied this oil to my freshly washed face and decollete. I did not honestly notice a difference after 5 nights of using it on my skin.
However, strike up the band....because this product is a hidden "diamond in the rough" in regard to haircare! I first applied the oil directly to the ends of my dry hair. The oil was light and not greasy and the blond highlights shone through so beautifully.
I took this review a bit farther. I applied to freshly washed and damp hair. I had been looking for an alternative to the chemical laden and animal cruel products that I had previously used to keep my hair from looking curly and frizzy. I tried coconut oil and it was a disaster! Greasy and gross.
Honestly, I am so glad that after applying 6 or 7 pumps to my entire head, I saw that my hair was not greasy, but tastefully slicked back. For some reason, this oil allowed a bit of radiance to show through and actually hid the subtle grays that I always try to camouflage as blonde!
I am very excited about this product! Also, it is cruelty free and organic. I had read another review and am interested in learning more about this oil being a carrier oil. Reviews are so important but actually using the products is invaluable!
Thank you to Elrique Naturals for making such a versatile product. Although I would rather have this product arrive in an amber glass bottle, this 2 HDPE bottle is the next best thing! I will reuse this bottle long after I have used the product as the pump is perfect not only for oils, but lotions as well.

I was very happy to be notified by HealthBiz Direct Inc. that I could take a bit more time to review this healthy yummy face masque! I took the extra time to do some experimenting. I first followed the directions on the jar. I applied a thin layer of masque onto clean skin and after 5 minutes rinsed off. My skin felt smooth and moisturized.
However, my favorite part of using this product the first time was the scent. It was so fresh and I was reminded of a Creamsicle. I know! Call me crazy, but the color of the product jump started this thought in my head (it is truly a beautiful peach color). As I twisted the lid off, I was greeted with yummy creamsicle goodness in sight as well as smell. Draw me a bath and dump a tubload of this product in and I would be happy forever!
Back to the Practical Matter of Beauty
My next idea was to apply this masque early in the morning. I left it on until lunch. I enjoyed the sweet smell and I was able to swish a loofah across my face. The gentle buff with warm water ushered in a pretty glow - almost a mini microdermabrasion session! I loved it!
Finally, my favorite way to use this product is to apply at night before bed after a hot shower while my skin was dewy and clean. I applied to the decollete (why not, when this is a generous 4 oz jar?). I also applied to the skin on the top of my hands and then added cotton gloves. I slept in my Elrique Naturals Vitamin C & CoQ10 Age Defying Masque and I woke up happy!
The best part of reviewing products is being reminded that the best products do not animal test, are Made in the USA and do not contain "bad for you" chemicals! This product falls into all of those categories. You can see the ingredients at Amazon.com.
One comment I have is that I noticed on the jar that this product is also for Hair Rejuvenation, however I saw no mention of this on the Amazon page. I will be experimenting with this Elrique Naturals product as a leave-in conditioner. After all, who doesn't want to enter a room smelling like Creamsicles!
