Hello! I am coming to you today with more news in the care of my face and body, this time it is the Gift of Nature series, inspired by organic cosmetics.
This is another brand of cosmetics from Elfa Pharm, so we can be sure of excellent quality right away. While the media convince us women that we must always be perfect, feel perfect and talk perfectly, Gift of Nature produces cosmetics for skin, body and hair that are beautiful, but … Combination, oily, dry, etc. Isn’t it nice ?
A smile immediately appeared on my face as soon as I opened the package with these products. In addition, Vis Plantis conducted surveys before shipments to best match the ambassadors’ compositions to the needs of each skin. It surprised me very positively! Therefore, my test package included a prebiotic face cream for combination skin, a normalizing face wash gel for combination skin, a regenerating shower gel for dry skin and a regenerating balm for dry skin.
If you are interested in how these cosmetics worked for me, I invite you to the next part of the post.

Gift of Nature, prebiotic face cream for combination skin
The prebiotic cream smoothes the skin, hydrates it and gives a matte finish. It contains, among others oregano extract and vitamin B3 slow down oily skin and regulate the level of sebum. Oregano supports cleansing of toxins, which keeps the skin refreshed, and vitamin B3 increases its hydration and helps fight discoloration. The cream is suitable for every person who is looking for a delicate cream with mattifying properties. Regular use of the preparation reduces the visibility of pores.
The caring properties of the cream are also responsible for i.a. bioactive emollients derived from rapeseed oil or unique fractions derived from jojoba. Jojoba has a high biocompatibility with the sebum present on the skin, thanks to which it does not burden it and does not clog it. Substances in the cream regulate the work of the lipid layer of the skin, at the same time improving the appearance. The skin becomes matted and moisturized at the same time, and the visibility of pores is reduced.
The cream is an ideal base for make-up. It has a beneficial effect on the natural microflora of the skin, restoring the balance of the microbiome, i.e. its protective layer. Thanks to this, the skin becomes moisturized and full of radiance.

First impressions:
Package
The entire Gift of Nature series has very aesthetic and imaginative packaging with prints, the plastic is strong, and the attached pumps have not jammed yet.
I like the company’s message! While the media convince us women that we must always be perfect, feel perfect and talk it out, Gift of Nature produces cosmetics for skin, body and hair that are beautiful, but … Combination, oily, dry, etc. Isn’t it nice ?
A smile immediately appeared on my face as soon as I opened the package with these products. In addition, Vis Plantis conducted surveys before shipments to best match the ambassadors’ compositions to the needs of each skin. It surprised me very positively!
Action
I’ll start with the product I used most often, the Gift of Nature Combination Skin Cream. It has a similar smell and composition as the gel from this series and I think that their action will complement each other nicely. Unfortunately, I rarely wash my face with tap water, only after heavy silicones in the foundation to clean it as well as possible, so it’s hard for me to say anything more about this product except that it cleanses well and is easy to use, even though it’s a pretty strong detergent for the skin it’s not dry.
The cream itself is great, I have the impression that it works well on imperfections and my skin is finally properly moisturized and nourished, less oily. The cream is great both for night and day, under makeup; nothing rolls on it.
I also use the gel with the body lotion duo, partly because the detergents are a bit too strong for me and the balm moisturizes the skin very nicely, but also because they have a similar scent. And how not to use such a nice set. I love jasmine, so they are a big plus for me right away. In addition, very nice compositions – the balm has shea butter in second place, which is really great for dry skin, moisturizes, nourishes and soothes. I also use it on my hands after housework. It is very efficient and nutritious.

Summary
I am glad that new natural products with such good compositions have appeared on the cosmetics market – they contain from 93% to as much as 99% ingredients of natural origin, are 100% vegan and are all cruelty-free. However, the prices are not excessive, as for ordinary, drugstore brands, so I have to say: bravo for Vis Plantis!
