Company Feature | Malachite + Elephant
Thursday, June 23, 2016
A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon Malachite + Elephant's instagram feed and I was instantly in love. So naturally, when Derly (the lovely founder of the Company) contacted me, I was more than excited pick up a few products!
M + E is an online ethical health and wellness shop, based right here in local Ottawa! (The site has free shipping + delivery to the Ottawa/Gatineau region)
I picked up three products that I have absolutely fallen for - A scrub, a toner, and a blemish spot treatment. Read on to find out a little bit more about the products I picked up, and stick around until the end of the blog post for a 10% off Discount Code, just for Bytown & Bloor readers!
I very quickly fell in love with this scrub. It smells so natural (in a good way! I have sensitivities and this didn't smell like harsh artificial fragrances- just pure, simple ingredients) Sea salt, activated charcoal, raw cacao, sunflower oil, coconut oil, apricot oil, and vitamin E make up this powerhouse scrub that will leave your skin feeling so smooth! I especially love the activated charcoal, as it works to remove impurities in the skin.
On the note of activated charcoal, I also decided to pick up this activated charcoal spot treatment, and was so impressed by how my skin looked in the morning after leaving it on overnight! I was again impressed with the simple ingredients - Witch hazel, distilled water, activated charcoal, and a blend of essential oils. Plus, this new staple in my routine retails on M + E's website for only $8!
As much as I absolutely LOVE my other two purchases, I definitely saved the best for last. I am so happy I picked up this product, as I think it has quickly become my all time favourite toner! First off- the smell alone is incredible, and the toner is the most beautiful shade of - you guessed it - lilac. (Side note- this beauty hue is attained by infusing the toner with Blue Pea Flowers- no artificial colours at all!) It leaves my skin feeling so hydrated, and a little goes a long way. I'm calling it early and saying this toner has achieved holy grail status in just 2 short days!
If you want to try out any of these or any other products on the Malachite + Elephant website, the lovely folks at M + E have set my readers up with their very own 10% off Discount Code. (So sweet!) Enter BYTOWN10 at checkout to receive 10% off your ENTIRE purchase.
