I discovered BAO Skincare after spotting it on Hannah Rose's Instagram and went to investigate! I decided to pick up the two sample packs - Body Sample Box (7 x 5ml samples - £10) and Face Sample Box (5 x 5ml samples - £8).
Founder, Beth grew up in Poole in Dorset and traveled the world living in Australia and South Africa in her 20s. She studied a Diploma in Natural Beauty and Nutrition and worked in the industry for over a decade before developing and formulating her own brand.
The products are made with plant based ingredients including organic butters, plant and flower oils and essential oils. The range is nourishing, healing, repairing and cleansing and handmade in small batches with love and care in England.
I found the skincare samples to be my favourites from the selections and would buy full sizes of Face Recovery, Avocado Orange Face Polish, Orange & Bergamot Face Wash and Apricot Rose Face Polish (I received a full size pot of this in my August Skin Organics Clean Beauty Box).
Orange & Bergamot Face Wash (full size £14 - 150ml) has an uplifting scent and easily removes make up and daily grime. I like to use it in my morning shower to refresh and clean. Avocado Orange Face Polish (full size £14 - 50ml) which smells incredible. Bamboo exfoliant creates a gentle scrub which is suitable for all skins. I'm also loving Apricot Rose Face Polish (full size £14 - 50ml) which gently removes dead skin cells leaving the skin looking bright and radiant. Face Recovery (full size £20 - 50ml) which is a rich cream suitable for all skin types. It'll moisturise, plump out fine lines and wrinkles and leave the skin feeling hydrated and comfortable (this cream featured in Natural Health Magazine). Best-selling Nourish Urself (full size £25 - 60ml) is a multi-purpose product - use it as a cleanser, moisturiser or treatment balm. It will cleanse, nourish, smoothe, hydrate and repair (it featured recently in Brides Magazine).
From the bodycare selection I would buy Shea Mandarin Body Moisturiser and Foot Rescue.
Detox Bath Salts (full size £10 - 200g) and R&R Bath Salts (full size £10 - 200g) a mix of Himalayan Salts, Epsom Salts and essential oils designed detox or calm. Coconut Grapefruit Body Scrub (full size £15 - 200ml) this scrub smelled gloriously exotic but I found it slightly too sticky and the particles a little large for my liking (it featured recently in Natural Health Magazine). Cocoa Butter Body Butter (full size £20 - 200ml) blended with rose water to hydrate. Great for sensitive skin types. Stretch Away (full size £20 - 60ml) which is great to use on stretch marks both new and recent. Shea Mandarin Body Moisturiser (full size £20 - 200ml) I loved this zesty moisturiser which absorbed instantly, hydrating and comforting the skin and leaving it with a delicate citrus scent. Foot Rescue (full size £12 - 50ml) again, this was one of my favourites from the set. A minty treat for the feet! Soothing and nourishing it'll help transform tired and hot feet.
I've loved trying the samples and have some firm favourites which will be added to the groaning wishlist! Have you used any products by BAO Skincare? What are your favourites?
