osmia means “sense of smell”. every osmia product is made with utmost attention to the scent and its aromatherapeutic benefits.
osmia skin care products are made using organic and natural ingredients. certain ingredients, while natural and plant-derived, are made in a laboratory, such as cetearyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate. here are the things that osmia products do not contain: parabens and phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate (or other similar sulfates), petroleum-based ingredients, synthetic fragrance, including fragrance oils or fragrance-based preservatives, artificial colors, ingredients that involve animal cruelty.
Ever since receiving my package from Sarah (the creator and owner of Osmia Organics) I have literally been obsessed with this line. I can’t get enough of it. The only problem is that I haven’t wanted to use anything else. I have even cut down on the amount of makeup I have been wearing recently because of how fresh my skin feels after using these products for less than a week now!
I was so impressed by the quality and beauty of the packaging! It’s so simple and dainty. I instantly smelled the soaps through the bag and they are so potent you almost feel like you just walked into a soap shop. It’s not overpowering and I have a very sensitive nose. I can’t even walk into Sephora without feeling nauseous from all of the chemical-filled perfumes but these soaps are full of yummy and natural ingredients that my nose and the rest of my body loves!!
On to the goodies!!!!

Price: $22.00
Pink Australian and White Kaolin Clay hydrate and heal the skin, and essential oils of Geranium and Palma Rosa give a rose-like scent.
- For: Dry, Mature or Sensitive Skin
- Ingredients: saponified organic oils/butters of olive, palm kernel, mango, sweet almond, coconut, castor, avocado, and jojoba, organic coconut milk, kaolin clay, proprietary blend of organic essential oils, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) antioxidant, mixed tocopherols
- MyThoughts: I think this is actually my favorite product from the line (so far). I have never been a fan of facial soaps as they have always dried out my skin and left it feeling tight and sore. This soap lathers so well and smells delicious. It leaves my face feeling deeply cleansed and glowing!! It even healed up a few stubborn blemishes that I couldn’t seem to get rid of with just two uses of this!! I will be purchasing another bar of this and also the the facial soap on her website.

- My Thoughts: I LOVE this serum and so does my skin. I apply it after showering while my face is still damp and I only need a half of a pump to cover my entire face and neck. The scent is very calming. The serum literally sinks into my skin and leaves the most beautiful and healthy glow. I also have found that I haven’t even needed to use a moisturizer after using this because it really leaves my skin feeling hydrated. There are two other serums on the website that I am now really wanting to try out as I love this stuff so much. A little bit goes a long way!!

- My Thoughts: I don’t know what else to say other than this is my new favorite treat after getting out of the shower, especially at night as I find the smell is very relaxing. I don’t need to put any moisturizer on my body after applying this oil because it works so beautifully. I want all of them.

I couldn’t wait to try everything out and I am absolutely in love with everything I was sent. I don’t usually feature every product that I receive for reviews because I don’t usually love everything and I never want to review something that I am not passionate about and wouldn’t purchase for myself or for loved ones. I can honestly say that I would and will be purchasing every single thing I have received and HIGHLY recommend them all. Thanks so much to the lovely Sarah of Osmia Organics!

Hopefully it does not take a lot of each product per application, because it seems quite costly due to its nearly 100% organic nature (minus some of the lab-created ingredients). As long as it is working for you, however, use it to its utmost.
Honestly I am usually not one for spending a lot of money on skincare products when you can find affordable things around the house like honey, sugar, oils etc but this line works SO perfectly with my skin that it is worth it! also a LITTLE goes a LONG way especially with the more expensive items like the serums, etc. The soaps I think are affordable as most organic soaps I have come across that are really good are not cheap. I honestly think it’s all worth it!
Gotcha. Since I know your history, I know you know what is best and will WORK best for you. 🙂 Oh, and my manager needs something that will even her skin tone–a whitener, perhaps? I think that’s what she said–so I said I knew someone that was awesome at skin care products–YOU!!!! don’t be so modest! 😉 –so please message me back on facebook messenger or reply to my post on your wall. Please please please please!!! You can ask a favor of me in return!!
osmia looks so beautiful, I really want to try it. I love the packaging and all the sounds of the products!
