PRODUCT REVIEW: THANKYOU HAND WASH, HAND LOTION SANITISER AND COFFEE BODY SCRUB


A little while ago I talked about a beautiful range of baby products from the Australian brand Thankyou (which you can read all about here), and today I'm going to introduce you to a few more of their products which I've been enjoying lately…


 

If you're not familiar with the brand Thankyou, they're a very unique social enterprise, as they believe they can help end global poverty in this lifetime, and hence they give 100% of their profits from their products to helping people in need. 100%!! And what's even more amazing, is that each Thankyou product comes with a unique tracker ID number, which you can enter online or via a special Thankyou app, so that you can see exactly where the profits from the product you’ve purchased is going! Now how amazing is that!

What also amazing is that these products are made here in Australia, and they are completely free from chemical nasties including SLS, SLES, EDTA and parabens, and they do not contain any synthetic fragrances or colours, palm oils or harsh detergents, and they are PH balanced and suitable for even the most sensitive skin and they have all been dermatologically tested. And of course they have not been tested on animals!!

The Thankyou Botanical Patchouli & Vanilla Hand Wash is a super gentle hand wash made with ingredients derived from nature. It contains natural oils and botanical extracts from Chamomile Flower Extract, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Geranium, Sandalwood, while Patchouli and Vanilla leaves it smelling beautiful. The Hand Wash gentle cleans your hands, without drying them out, and the gorgeous scent lingers both in the air and on your hands.

The matching Patchouli & Vanilla Hand Lotion is a nourishing yet super light hand cream. It is made without palm oil, but contains rich ingredients such as Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Plant Derived Glycerin, Aloe Vera Leaf Juice, Avocado Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Cacao Seed Butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Kakadu Plum Fruit Extract, Lavender Oil, as well as of course the Patchouli Oil, and Vanilla to give it its beautiful scent. It absorbs super fast into the skin, which I really like, and has it doesn't leave the hands feeling greasy I can immediately get on the day. Like the Hand Wash, the Hand Lotion comes in a convenient, and large, pump bottle, that also looks super stylish in the bathroom.

Then there's the Thankyou Antibacterial Grapefruit Sanitiser. With our little boy having been so sick and not having an immune system, we’ve relied on antibacterial sanitisers to keep germs at bay in order to protect him from any infection or illness as much as possible, and the Thankyou Antibacterial Grapefruit Sanitiser is one of the nicest ones I've come across. Often I find that antibacterial sanitisers are very 'alcoholic' but not this one - there's absolutely no alcohol smell in sight, but rather it has the most beautiful uplifting zesty and refreshing scent from the grapefruit, but I also love that it kills 99.9% of germs. And as it is pH balanced, it doesn't irritate or dry out the hands. But instead the gel, which quickly absorbs into the skin, still leaves your hands soft thanks to the added Aloe Vera leaf juice and Vitamin E.

For the body, I've been loving the Thankyou Coffee Body Scrub with Botanical Geranium and Rosewood. As a coffee addict, I love the smell of this scrub made with coffee grounds which is rich in antioxidants along with cold-pressed macadamia oil. The coffee grounds are gentle on the skin, yet super efficient, and used on the damp skin and left on for a few minutes so the skin can absorb all the natural hydrating ingredients, this scrub leaves the skin so incredibly soft and smooth, and smelling gorgeous too - just like my bathroom, which smells almost like a coffee shop. As anyone loving coffee scrubs will know, it does leave a bit of a mess behind, but if you ask me, its worth it, and the perfect kick start in the morning too.


All the products come in old style dark brown apothecary plastic bottles and jars with the stunning a simplistic Thankyou labels, which also makes these products look fantastic out on display. 

So all in all I have again really enjoyed using these products from Thankyou. The products are exceptionally well priced, in fact I was surprised at their low price, so I will definitely be purchasing these again, as well as looking into more products from the large Thankyou product range.
