I decided to order Awaken this time around. It has a citrus scent and quite lovely. The only thing is I didn’t get the scooper spoon with this order. Not sure if they still include it.
This body butter smells so good and it is very moisturizing- great product. Giving it out for holiday gifts!
It smells so fresh and moisturizes so well. Ii love the texture. I definitely will be back.
Thank you!
Can't personally review since the body butter is not for me, but they make excellent stocking stuffers!
Stays all day and goes on silky

I absolutely love this body butter! Deeply moisturizers my skin and smells so divine! Layer with a body spray and you’re good to go!! Will always have some on deck!

This is my new favorite body wash! It smells soooo good! My skin feels amazing and hydrated! And it’s good ingredients and black owned!! It’s an all around great choice!

I am enjoying using the Nostalgia Body Butter, I love the scents of sandalwood and patchouli. The butter makes my skin soft and not greasy. Thanks ILera for this nice product.

Best one I have used yet! And it’s sold out. Restock date available? Or pre order?

This body wash has a nice, subtle, energizing scent. I love the natural ingredients. Definitely recommend auto-ship for this so you don’t run out!

I was given a gift of Bloom hydrating body wash along with the Bloom body butter. I love both. I use the hydrating body wash to wash my hands at the kitchen sink and it smells luscious! I decided to purchase more and tried the Awaken which is more luscious! Now I don’t know which one I like better. Now I know what to buy for both men and women as a gift when I can’t think of anything. It makes a wonderful gift as it was given to me as a gift. The presentation of everything in the box is also very appealing.

I have VERY sensitive skin. I never know what I'm gonna get reaction-wise when I use something new. And I only use clean products. This oil is very soothing and smoothing, sinks right in, and zero irritation!

I like the different fragrant body washes

Honestly, the best chapstick I have used. And I have tried a lot. I usually go for EOS, but this one takes the cake. So buttery and the smell is amazing. Plus knowing the ingredients are great really helps.

Love everything about this set, especially the smile stick.
Absolutely love Nostalgia body butter. First got it as a gift during a retreat in February and I have been reordering ever since‼️

I love the Mellow body butter, helps keep my psoriasis on my hands and body under control. I would recommend it to everyone. Thank You…
