5 Days of Christmas: Buttercup & Jake {Review & Giveaway}

Today is the first day of the 5 days of Christmas Review & Giveaway Week! I am super excited!

On the 1st day of Christmas, day2day joys gave to me…

An awesome giveaway from Buttercup & Jake which offers skincare products that are made with organic, all-natural, and non-toxic ingredients.

Patricia Butter the owner of Buttercup & Jake along with her mother and her daughter had always had sensitive skin. Her daughter developed eczema and she knew she had to do something. At that very same time she was growing calendula in her small backyard garden and noticed the the health benefits and Buttercup & Jake was born. Patricia states, “Early on we decided if we couldn’t eat the ingredient, it wasn’t safe enough for a child whose skin is 80% more absorbent than an adults.”

What I Liked:

  1. all products are safe & non-toxic
  2. cute package & characters
  3. LOVE the usefulness of the lids on the lip balms.
  4. all products smell delightful
  5. all products really do moisturize dry skin

What I didn’t Like:

  1. At first I thought the skin cream is a little oily when on the skin, however the reason Patricia designed the cream to help the treatment of dry skin and sensitive skin which makes it rich and emollient.  (I honestly don’t really have anything bad to say)
