Being the rough and tumble boy that he is, Eben gets a lot of cuts, scratches and scraps. He is also prone to eczema on his face and arms. This leaves his skin looking less than fabulous and he is not a fan of having lotions or creams rubbed on his face or body and usually yells that it burns and runs away to wipe it off.
We received a package from Tilvee {Eco Ethical Skin Care} that contained a Kid’s Mandarin Remedy Balm {for Eben} and an Antioxidant Facial Bar {for myself}. I was very excited to try the Kid’s Mandarin Remedy Balm on Eben since he had recently scraped his shoulder at the pool and burned his arm on a lantern while we were camping. {Boys.} He also had a small patch of eczema on his cheek. After his bath, I rubbed the balm into all three areas, first off, no yelling…Eben actually giggled and told me I was tickling him. {Much better.} The eczema on his cheek was gone in the morning and the shoulder scrap, being the older wound of the two looked a lot better, the burn on his arm was slightly smaller and the redness was gone.
Jayson loved the Mandarin Remedy Balm as well, he gets horribly dry, cracked hands and used the balm, even after I told him it was for Eben only. {Men.} He loved it and wanted it for himself, he said his hands felt a lot better the next day and they did look clearer than they have been in weeks.
I used the Antioxidant Facial Bar for 3 weeks and love that it doesn’t have an overpowering scent and the bar lasts FOREVER. I have been using it for 2 weeks and I would say, it should last a couple more and I didn’t have any new breakouts or dryness while using it. Also, it is a steal right now at only $7.19.
Tilvee was founded by Botanist and organic chemist Kristie McNamara in Morrison, Colorado. I love Colorado Companies! With Tilvee Kristie has created a socially and environmentally responsible company that offers luxurious, safe, innovative organic products. Kristie is passionate about green business practices, consumer education and being involved in the community of Eco conscious individuals and businesses. Tilvee products are made using only ingredients that support sustainable organic and fair trade culture. Tilvee contains NO petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, chemicals, parabens, sulfates or phthlates.
I also love that Tilvee uses only green packaging (glass jars and recycled packaging), has an Eco friendly solar powered office, uses mineral paper and environmentally friendly printing, does no animal testing and has a full ingredient disclosure list. Tilvee also has a fabulous recipe section where you can learn to make your own masques. I will definitely be doing this.

I would love to try their Pomegranate Body Creme Unscented. I think this would be good to use at my desk at work on my hands that get so dry from handling paper all day.

I would like to try the Pomegranate Body Butter, makes me what to eat it is sounds so delicious.
Grrr I thought my comment had gone through! Glad that I checked today!
I am so glad you mentioned this website. I have had eczema since I was little. It has been showing up much more frequently on my arms since I have been stressing out about school and finding a job. I have tried a couple of different things that either didn’t work, had too many chemicals, or were just too expensive. This mandarin remedy balm would definitely work for me since it is mild and in my budget. Other than that, everything else sounds so nice…once I get a job, I may be a frequent shopper lol π
I subscribe. I love the smells! I can imagine them right now. Yum π Enter me to win please. Thanks for the opportunity!

I think a good product to try would be the Lavender Lemon Hydrating Lip Balm, because my lips get so dry in this climate.

I want the Acai Pomegranate Rejuvenating Masque. I have read about all the benefits of pomegranate and I love to see more products are being made with them. They are my favorite fruit not only to eat, but also to use. I have never used a pomegranate masque though it’s always been something else.

This product really does work and very quickly too. I have used it on several slow healing sites. Thanks again. Linda Kish
