Nopalera reviews and discussion

When twisting open the Cactus exfoliating Mandarina lid, I was instantly transported into pulling off a tangerine from a tree. I think the name fits the fragrance and scent of the scrub spot-on because Mandarina means tangerine. The scent, in my opinion, is great and I kept twisting the jar open. When feeling the texture of the scrub, I can say this is the softest scrub I had. When I applied the scrub to my skin it had a light grit sherbet appearance and texture. The scrub might appear gritty, but when I was messaging into my skin it was the softest scrub I had, it was not harsh. I thought since it has BHA in the formula, it would tingle my skin especially the scabs I have on my neck and it didn’t. I noticed the scrub was almost gone because it dissolved into my skin, showing I was dry. When I read the description, the tangerine is an oil. I thought it might make me feel greasy, but I was wrong. My skin was dry and when I massage the scrub into my skin it almost disappeared. I didn’t feel greasy after, my skin was soft and moisturized. I was surprised because other scrubs I still see it lying on top of my skin. When washing off the scrub, I didn’t see any of the scrub left on my skin.

Using a conditioner bar was a new experience for me, and it took some adjusting. The scent was wonderful, but I found it difficult to tell how much product was actually getting onto my hair. The bar is quite firm, so rubbing it directly on my hair felt different from traditional liquid conditioners. I tried swiping it along the lengths of my hair multiple times and then using my fingers to distribute it evenly. After rinsing, my hair felt soft and moisturized, though I think I’ll need a few more uses to figure out the right amount to apply. One thing I learned is that bar conditioners require a bit more patience, but they’re a great way to cut down on plastic waste. Like the shampoo, I need to find a good way to store it so it doesn’t stay wet between uses. Overall, I appreciate the concept and look forward to seeing how it performs over time.

Exfoliant - A beautifully gentle skin exfoliant that energizes and awakens my senses from the tangerine scent. My very dry skin feels so much smoother and softer. Shower Gel - As a gal living in the Southwest, I see Prickly Pear Cactuses everyday! I love that Nopalera uses the “Prickly Pear Cactus” as their ⭐️ ingredient in every product. The shower gel lathers so well and leaves my dry skin feeling hydrated and soft. Solid Lotion - melts into the skin. Has a nice, light, citrusy scent. Be careful to leave in a cool area so it doesn’t melt.

Really love the packaging of this brand - super cute, bright and eco friendly! Their lotion bar tins are sooo great to keep after to put bobby pins/hair ties in for your purse! The products work really nice as well and feel good/healthy on the skin!

I ordered a couple soaps, lotion bars, and exfoliators from this brand. Overall I really like the products, they have amazing ingredients, the scents are wonderful, and the exfoliators really work well. I especially love the lotion bars as we are trying to cut back on plastic packaging were possible. This brand really stands for sustainability and authenticity, which I admire. My only downside is the price is a bit high, making it more of an occasional splurge than an every day purchase.

Purchased the exfoliant and I am obsessed. It smells amazing and works like a charm.
