Messy Bessy Natural Hydrating Body Wash in Kiwi

Hey lovelies!

The days are getting hot again because summer is fast approaching. After being exposed to the heat and getting all sweaty, it's a great feeling to take a bath or shower at the end of the day. Lately, I've been loving every bath time because I just smell so good whenever I use the...

Messy Bessy Natural Hydrating Body Wash

The bottle was sent to me a few months back. :)

The brand was actually new to me, but I felt happy to know about it because it means that more Proudly Pinoy brands are available in the market, and it's all-natural too! So what is Messy Bessy anyway? Here's what I've seen on their website:

"At Messy Bessy, we are serious in our commitment to clean your homes without harming your health and polluting our planet. This is why every step of our business is taken with meticulous care – from choosing only natural ingredients, to encouraging our customers to reuse and refill.

And at the heart of Messy Bessy, is project HOUSE (Helping Ourselves through Sustainable Enterprises). HOUSE is a group of enterprises that employ and educate formerly abused, trafficked, incarcerated and impoverished young adults.

The Helping Ourselves Program or HOP is a program where the learners are graded based on their academics, core values, work ethics and work training. We are proud of the partnership we recently signed with Manila Business College, which gives our learners the opportunity to pursue and acquire their college diploma."

The scent I have is Kiwi and this smells really, really good. I like my bath products smelling really good. I'm not into fruity, especially citrusy scents, though but this Kiwi one is just so addicting for me! If you have a chance to smell this, go ahead and see (smell?) for yourself how awesome the scent is!

I looked at their website for product info so we can get to know more about it.
I'm not sure if this one is the same as their Hand and Body Wash because I can't find their Hydrating Body Wash on the website. But I figured that both are body washes so I assumed that their qualities are pretty similar and I just posted the info here so we can have some idea what Messy Bessy Body Washes can do. Here's what the website says about their Hand and Body Wash:

"You deserve nothing more than the purest liquid soap you can find – free of sulfate, parabens, colorant & toxins that can work its way through your skin and into your body. Available in 4 yummy scents: Aloe & Green Tea, Kiwi Lemon, Ocean Rain, Vanilla Orange.

P 180 200ml / P 550 2-liter refill55

TO USE, Apply the Hand & Body Wash directly on your skin or on a bath sponge. Lather & Rinse.

Ingredients: Purified water, Potassium Cocoate, Monoethanolimide Coconut Amide, Sodium Lactate, Essential Oils, Sodium Chloride (thickener). Yup that’s all!"

The product is a bit runny and it's clear. It foams up pretty well and you instantly smell the sweet fragrance easily. The scent lingers for a few minutes (maybe 'til 15-30 minutes if you're not under the sun and sweating) after bath. I just love using this because I smell SO GOOD.

What I love more is that it's all natural! We all know that it's important to take care of the skin. It is it the biggest organ of our body that functions as our protection from our environment. What we put on our skin also gets absorbed into our body, so knowing that Messy Bessy is all natural, I feel like it's safer than other commercial brands. I did not encounter irritation nor allergies from this product... so yay!

Messy Bessy: The Little Warrior

Good day ladies,

I have recently been given a Messy Bessy alcohol spray for Christmas and have been using it for the past few days. I wanted to do a short review of the product.

Messy Bessy is a local brand that started out in 2007. They sell worry-free household cleaning products, all of which are made with safe, non-toxic, all natural, biodegradable ingredients. They hope to spread awareness about the harm caused by conventional house hold cleaning items to the planet, create all natural alternatives, and educate and guide their customers and all others into going green. If you want to know more about their products and their campaign, you can visit their website at http://www.messybessy.com

As you can see this alcohol spray is made with sugarcane alcohol, aloe vera extract and essential oils. Actually while using it, I hardly felt like I was using an alcohol spray since it didn't feel drying on the hands. The alcohol was as gentle water and yet it leaves a soft feeling on the skin. However, since it feels like that, I end up spraying more on my hands (not very "matipid").

The price for this spray is Php 70 for 50 ml bottle and Php 500 for 1-liter refill bottle. Messy Bessy also offers Php 10 discount if you return your used bottles to them; now that's a very environmentally friendly policy. I hope other companies have similar policies too.

The alcohol has a kiwi scent infused in it and it really smells like kiwi. One spray and the scent permeates through your hands and the air. The only problem I have with it is that, the scent is overpowering. It isn't particularly offensive to the nose with one spray, but one spray can hardly cover your hands, so you need at least 2 sprays. This is where it gets too strong. I used it once inside my uncle's car and they had to open the windows since the smell was too strong.

That's actually all I have to say about this product. It's really nice but I'd rather the smell was dialed down but if you're a big fan of the kiwi small then this would be perfect.

Tell us if you have tried other Messy Bessy products or if there are any you'd recommend for us to try.

Cheers,

LIZ
