SAINT JANE - Hydrabloom Body Silk | Luxury, Floral-Infused, Clean Skincare (4 oz | 120 ml)

Wish there was more in the bottle

When I first applied this body silk to my skin, I was thinking that this was going to be just another regular moisture lotion. This white cream felt kind of dry and didn't leave really any sort of residuals along the skin. I did notice that I didn't need to use a lot to cover my skin. When I first use a new body lotion, I always try it on my legs which is the ultimate test considering that's the driest part of my body. It was about an hour or so later when I rubbed my hands over my legs to see how this left them feeling that I noticed its magic. My legs felt silky smooth. Dry to the touch, as in not wet and oily, but fully moisturized. This feeling lasted for many hours on end without the need for any sort of touch ups. The skin looked good and wasn't flaky at all. The scent is very light. Just enough to enjoy during application, but really not all that noticeable. Once applied, that scent completely goes away. It's not in the least bit cloying and should be fine for many who don't care for scented products. Personally, I prefer my skincare products to be scented, but I'm totally fine with this. After all, it's the results that matter, and the results of this skin silk are quite good. The only thing that I find to be unlikable is the price of $48 (today's price) for a 4 fluid ounce bottle. That's awfully high. This is a good skincare product, but that's just way overpriced. But if you are willing to pay that, than you will receive a good skincare product.

First off, this is a nice lotion. It's thick (definitely not watery at all), smooth and silky, and it has a nice floral scent to it that's not overpowering at all. It is, quite simply, a very nice lotion that moisturizes nicely and absorbs easily. I certainly enjoy using it. That said, it's (as I write this) $12/ounce. Is it better than those watery lotions that cost under $10 for a 32-ounce bottle? Oh, absolutely. However, lotions in the $1-$2/ounce range compete pretty well. They don't necessarily come in as nice of a container (and, I have to say, the glass container is definitely nice), but they perform as well. I like this lotion for sure, but I wouldn't order it again at this price. Back to positives, something that I don't see on the product page or the product itself is that Saint Jane is (as far as I can find online) clean and cruelty-free...the latter being very important to me. I researched the brand before ordering this, and I was surprised that they don't advertise that, so I wanted to mention it. Hopefully they still are, and I'm just letting you know what I found online about them from third party sites.

This is a lovely, lightweight cream with a fresh but subtle floral fragrance with slight herbal undertones. The product has a bit more viscosity than a lotion and is similar to what I think of as a gel/cream. It is a translucent white that can hold its shape, but it doesn't feel rich or thick. It goes on my very dry skin smoothly, spreads evenly and almost melts in. It feels nice on my skin and doesn't leave any oily look or feeling. I have sensitive skin and this is not at all irritating. The 'silk' is housed in a lovely frosted glass bottle. The bottle is heavy and square-shaped with a thickened bottom and has a luxe appearance. There is even a protective plastic cover for the gold label! The pump delivery system is plastic and can be twisted to open or lock into position. It dispenses just the right amount so there is no mess. I don't need to use a lot for my skin to feel soft and smooth, but since this cream is rather pricey, I really only use it on my hands, forearms and (sometimes) shoulders. It is moderately hydrating and keeps my hands feeling and looking nice. It does seem to help firm the skin on my forearms that looks a little crepey when it gets too dry. As someone with sensitive skin, I appreciate that the full list of ingredients was shown in the product description. The cream arrived in a beautiful box and was properly sealed.

This comes very well packaged in taped and bubble wrap. That is perhaps the best packaging I've seen. Because of this, the internal box was in perfect condition. However, there isn't a seal on the internal part. The purple flowered disposable box looks like a luruxy brand from the beginning. I also love that the product is made in the USA. It's is in a glass frosted appearing container with a gold product label on the front that may be some sort of metal? The top is able to swivel left (to prevent any from coming out when the top is pressed) or right, which allows the pump to function normally. This allows me to feel more confident with traveling with it in checked bag. The product is white and creamy. It does not appear to have any added scents. There is a very slight scent however, that is unoffensive, and reminds me of a mild ponds cream. The body silk feels like a light lotion on my face. I appreciate that it doesn't have that tacky, sticky feel, but there is a bit of a greasy one, so if you're someone who sweats a lot, you might want to do it while you'll be a bit cooler. Skin feels soft and silky after use. Overall I believe the product looks and feels luxurious, and it is something I would feel comfortable leaving out on my bathroom counter as a decoration as well. 5 stars
