I think I’ve firmly established that I am super picky about how I spend my dollar these days, and this is a company that is doing everything right.
OrganicaPure’s line of luxurious beauty products— from lotions to scrubs to cleansers— are purposely kept as simple and pure as possible, centering on three ingredients known for their therapeutic qualities: cocoa, aloe vera and honey. Each product’s info page clearly lists the ingredient list front and center, for absolute transparency.
It’s kind of remarkable, that this is remarkable. You know? It’s so refreshing to immediately know what you’re getting, no sleuthing, no fine print. But really this is the way it should work.
In addition, the ingredients page notes that OrganicaPure sources their main ingredients from “ecological and socially responsible means. We go through a rigorous process of identifying producers and distributors who meet our criteria of our highest standards.”
How’s that for awesomesauce?
So now we know that this is an ethical company using fine, organic ingredients with known compound benefits.
The next question is, is it any good?
The answer is yay! Yes! I tried out the Cocoa & Honey Body Lotion and 100% Body Butter, and they were crazy emollient on my dry, cracked hands (I’ve been doing a fair amount of dog washing lately; don’t ask).
The cocoa body lotion is nice and creamy and just feels like a good lotion— no wax, no filler. Jeff used it on his gross plumber’s hands and gave it his stamp of approval. I’ve been using it regularly after washing dishes and whatnot, and it hasn’t caused my very very hive-prone palms to break out.
The scent is light and non-intrusive. I’m pretty neutral about the scent, to be honest. I don’t love it (I lean towards citrus-y scents) but I’m usually very sensitive about fragrance and it doesn’t bother me at all.
Cocoa is an anti-wrinkle agent: It contains powerful anti-oxidant properties that prevent damage to your skin’s elastin and collagen, restoring and maintaining your youthful glow. It also works to moisturize and nourish your skin. Honey is also a gentle, healthy, natural moisturizer. As a humectant, honey helps your skin retain moisture without an oily buildup. Cocoa and honey work together in this luxurious body lotion to gently replenish moisture.
For my money, though, the organic body butter is where it’s at. This stuff hardens in cooler temps, so I literally am just breaking off tiny shards— like fragments of white chocolate— and letting the heat of my hands melt it so it can be massaged in. I can’t think of a better way to explain the hydrating quality than to say it’s like butter, so there you have it. It’s buttery and luscious and you can feel and see the difference in your hands.
Our 100% Cocoa Butter is just that – with no added emollients, additives and fillers. Extracted from world-renowned Mayan cocoa beans, our butter truly represents Organica Pure’s philosophy to revert skincare to its purest form. For centuries, Mayans used pure cocoa butter to protect their skin. Today, use our fast-absorbing butter to reverse the roughest skin and chapped lips, improve the look of scars and lines, and to smooth stretch marks due to weight loss or pregnancy.
At the rate I’m using it (just a tiny shard nightly before bed), this stuff should last me forever and a day. So it’s good that I actually really like the scent, even though it’s stronger than that of the other lotion. It just smells like straight up chocolate and I could just eat it up.
I smell delicious, people.
One lucky reader is gonna smell as delicious as I do! I get to give away an OrganicaPure prize including the two products I’ve featured, the Cocoa & Honey Body Lotion and 100% Body Butter, PLUS an Aloe Vera & Honey Shampoo, so your noggin can smell as nice as the rest of ya.
Our combination of aloe vera and honey will leave you with healthy, lustrous hair. Aloe vera, a natural treatment for dry skin, will soothe your scalp and help to alleviate dandruff. It also provides a gentle deep cleansing for your hair. Honey, a natural humectant, seals in moisture to heal and condition dry, damaged hair.

This review was made possible by Mom Spark Media, and I was supplied with lotion and body butter for review purposes. Thoughts are my own.
I also splurge on buying all natural products — I certainly don’t want chemical nasties.
This company sounds pretty amazing. I’m not sure I’ve seen their products. Smelling delicious sounds like a good thing to me!
All natural organic products is all that we buy. I love them (and I am also sensitive to the scents so I am glad to hear that this is not overwhelming)! Would love to win these!
I normally seem to splurge on face washes because I can’t find one that I really like…although I don’t tend to spend too much on those even!
I normally spend a little extra on color safe shampoo and conditioner! A friend just introduced me to Wen products but they seem a little costlier than what I normally spend.
I splurge on body washes…especially bath and body works
Actually, I don’t really splurge on any beauty products! I’d like to, but it’s one of those things that just doesn’t fit into the budget, ya know?! I don’t really know what I’d splurge on, though, since I sort of keep it simple (I’m kind of a “wash face, apply mascara and lip gloss” kind of girl).
I don’t really splurge, I am cheap…I mean frugal & cringe over spending certain amounts of money. I do however buy loreals pressed powder that is pricey in my opinion. It’s anywhere from 11-14 dollars & prior to a year ago I never would have spent even that much on makeup.
Organic/natural lotion is my splurge! 🙂
I will splurge on fancy makeup because I have extremely sensitive skin and natural products work the best.
I’m in the market for some new products. Every time we move (military) we face new water situations, and my scalp pays for it DEARLY.
I splurge only on face cream (usually Alba Botanica) because I feel like it really does make a difference in how my skin looks. Otherwise, my makeup is purchased at a drugstore. If I won the lottery, this would change instantly.
I splurge on my Face Cream. I’m addicted to it now.
pedicure & facial

A trip to the spa for a facial or pedi is my beauty splurge!!
I had not heard of this line before, but the products sound great. Everyone in our family has sensitive skin, so an organic product as clean as this one sounds wonderful.
Facials. Oh, how I love them.
Fun! I don’t usually splurge, but if I am going to, it would be on a facial moisturizer.
I splurge on my body wash and lotion, try to get as natural as I can.
My beauty splurges involves going to the Spa and getting a facial!
I don’t really splurge.
ugh my wife hasn’t splurged in years… we can’t afford to due to child support. That’s why I was hoping to win this for her… 🙂
I don’t get to splurge, really. Hubs works hard and I stay home, but we make it. I’d love to win a little luxury 🙂
I don’t splurge either. *sniff* 😉
I would love to start getting more natural beauty products soon, though.
I tend not to splurge on myself too. Though, I may occasionally get a scented lotion, or a fragrance with a gift card that was given to me.
~thank you~
With 3 kids 3 and under I usually don’t splurge, but when we do have a little extra I love to get all natural soap.
Every so often, I have to restock and splurge on mineral makeup. It’s all I use and it can get expensive but it goes a long way. I also like to buy shea butter, honey products and love essential oils like lavender for skin calming.

I just bought my first item of mineral makeup. It is foundation….

My beauty splurge? Don’t currently have one! Everything I find seems to have a flaw, or I can’t afford it. Simple organic happy products sound wonderful from a company that offers full disclosure. Awesome.
Makeup tends to be my splurge – but I am low on perfume so that should be next. Love finding out about new products.
