Darcy's Botanicals boast exceptional products for hair and skin so I decided to try the Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme which is really a daily moisturizer and gives little to no hold. I was fine with that since I wanted a basic moisturizer that gets the job done. The jar is compact, I was expecting the jar to be bigger than it was but I guess each company measures out 8oz according to the jar they use. When I smelled the creme I noticed it had a strong scent of vanilla extract. Not the sweet-warm scent we are used to but the kind of vanilla we bake with but more pronounced. The creme has a very nice texture, its smooth and absorbs easily into my hair and skin when I was testing it out. The creme is dense but not as dense as AfroVeda moisturizers or Qhemet Biologics Heavy Cream. Its more of a thick creme that gives easily when you try to scoop some out the jar. I absolutely love the way it made my hair feel when I first applied it, my hair was soft and easy to style. The moisture factor of this creme is high, it gives a good level of moisture but absorbs quickly giving me bouncy hair. When I compare this creme to Qhemet Biologics Heavy Cream I can say that the Heavy Cream weighed my hair down and took longer to absorb into my fine strands, I think the Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme suites my texture better. Performance: Great moisturizing creme which gave me well defined braid outs. I was surprised at how soft this creme made my hair feel after applying it to damp hair. 2/2
Price: 12.00 USD for 8oz. Good buy, especially when you can catch one of the sales that the owner has yearly, plus quick shipping and great customer service. The owner threw in a sample of oil for me to try:) 2/2
Ingredients: Organic Palm Oil, Organic Aloe Vera, Organic Madagascar Vanilla, Vegetable Emulsifying Wax, Candelilla Wax, Organic Castor Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil and Potassium Sorbate. 1/1
**The vanilla extract scent is not strong and barely if even lingers after the creme is applied to my hair.
Darcy's Botanicals Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme 5/5
I LOVE this creme! So glad you had great results. Overall Lysandra's done a nice job with the line...even her conditioners are great for detangling and moisturizing the hair.
ReplyDeleteI recently tried her other creme, Avocado and Wild Plum (glycerine free) and my hair loved it! I also have the Madagascar Vanilla Creme just waiting to be tried and I hope I love it just as much.
ReplyDeleteI loove it too and have been using it as a body butter as well
