Thank you to Pangea Organics for sending me some samples of their products to try out! I've been wanting to try Pangea Organics for a while now since they're 100% natural and since their packaging is 100% recyclable/biodegradable. It's made entirely from post-consumer waste materials. The box even has basil seeds in it so you can soak it in water and then plant it!
Read on for my review.
Facial Cream
Nigerian ginger, sweet lavender, & thyme
For normal to combination skin
$36.00 for 2 fl oz
Formulated for normal to combination skin, this facial cream penetrates deeply offering superior hydration with environmental protection. Spicy and sweet, this cream creates a balance yet leaves a slightly matte finish to the skin.
• GINGER
o stimulating
o restorative
o nutritive
• LAVENDER
o purifying
o balancing
o soothing
Directions: Following Toner, place 2-3 pumps into your palm, rub hands together lightly, and pat your face, neck and décolleté with an upward rolling motion. Most beneficial if used morning and night.
My thoughts on Pangea Organics Facial Cream: This cream is more like a lotion to me. It the wateriest moisturizer I've tried yet (even more than CeraVe lotion), probably really good for those who have very oily skin. Still, it was moisturizing enough for my sometimes-dry-to-normal skin in this summer weather. A little goes a long way since it's so watery. The scent isn't as strong as some of their other products. It's supposed to be a mix of lavender and ginger. My skin doesn't look matte after application but it still looks fairly natural. Not overly oily or anything.
ScrubEgyptian geranium with adzuki bean & cranberry
for all skin types
$32.00 for 3.8 fl oz
Our scrub gently exfoliates, cleanses, detoxifies and regenerates skin cells. Enjoy once daily or weekly.
• CRANBERRY
o antioxidant
o nutrient-rich
• GERANIUM
o cell regenerating
o toning
o rejuvenating
Directions: Following the Cleanser, give a nice, gentle squeeze in the palm of your hand, rub palms together and massage thoroughly into your face, neck and décolleté with your fingers. Be sure not to miss your nose and the area around it - it needs extra love. Then rinse. This scrub may be used once daily or weekly.
My thoughts on Pangea Organics Facial Scrub: This is my favorite out of all the Pangea Organics products I tried. It is a very gentle scrub, much gentler than some other popular facial scrubs I've tried like St. Ives (St. Ives makes me feel like someone's scratching at my skin!). PO's facial scrub left my skin feeling really nice and soft. It didn't spread too well across my skin though so I had a bit of difficulty "scrubbing" my skin. Perhaps I should try wetting my face first next time. I'd recommend this for those who have sensitive skin since it's almost creamy in texture. Oh and the actual product comes in a tube. Definite plus for sanitary reasons.

• TURKISH ROSE

Pangea Organics Eye Cream applied.
This is after application. My thoughts on Pangea Organics Eye Cream: My first impression of this cream was that it's quite thick. It doesn't smell too strongly which I like since it's going to be near my eyes and I'd prefer that my eyes not sting. It doesn't apply matte, but a little shiny, so if one were to wear this during the day, you'd probably want to apply a little powder over it.
Balancing OilHimalayan geranium & pomegranate
for all skin types
$50.00 for 1 fl oz
Our Balancing Oil works hard to penetrate the skin, preserve intrinsic moisture and combine with your natural oils to bring your skin into harmony.
• GERANIUM
o harmonizing
o cell repairing
• POMEGRANATE
o antioxidant
o collagen supporting
Directions: While skin is still moist from Cleansing and Toning, use fingertips to apply Balancing Oil where needed: forehead, cheekbones, chin, neck and décolleté. Gently massage in upward circular motions. Stimulating these areas will increase circulation, enhance absorption and allow deep penetration of active ingredients. Recommended: 1-2 drops (Oil-Rich skin), 2-3 drops (Balanced/Combo skin), 3-4 drops (Thirsty/Evolved skin). For maximum benefits, mist once more with Toner. For Thirsty/Evolved skin, finish with Cream.
My thoughts on Pangea Organics Balancing Oil: This balancing oil left my face feeling plump and soft upon first application. After letting the oil settle though, I felt as if my face needed a little more moisturizing. Compared to the only other facial oil I've tried, Paul & Joe Treatment Oil, Pangea Organics Balancing Oil isn't as moisturizing. It doesn't leave the skin as oily-looking as one might think it could but it does make me feel oily after the day has passed.
