Nopalera reviews and discussion

If you are a fan of the Dulce De Cuerpo Shower Gel, you will love the Dulce De Cuerpo Perfume. I love copal, resin and amber in the fragrance. I absolutely adore the wooden top of the perfume bottle that is in the shape of a prickly pear. l think that is absolutely genius and perfectly on brand. It looks beautiful on my vanity. Similar to the Shower Gel, the Perfume seems like it’s going to have a very light, barely noticeable fragrance. That is not true! When you give it a moment to settle on your skin you will experience the fragrance starting to transform and morph through the different notes. I’ve found I only need a single spritz and it’s enough to smell on myself all day. I enjoy catching the scent on my skin during the day. It makes me happy and feel relaxed. I can’t wait to smell the other two perfumes that came out in the collection as well!

I am a huge fan of Nopalera. There hasn’t been a single thing that I haven’t absolutely adored. The Dulce de Cuerpo scent is my favorite. I currently wear their same perfume. I love that I can now layer the perfume with the cactus body cream to prolong the intoxicating fragrance. The unique fragrance notes really make Nopalera stand out from all other body lotions that I’ve tried. I have very dry skin all year round as I live in Arizona. My skin drinks up this body cream! I like that it’s thin enough to easily spread and rub in but thick enough to completely smooth and satisfy that chapped feeling my skin has when I exit the shower. It absorbs in quickly and doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily or greasy. 0 transfer onto your clothes. The scent is more on the mid to light side but it has longevity! I can’t recommend Nopalera enough!

I am obsessed with Nopalera’s Dulce De Cuerpo scent. I have tried the perfume, body lotion, shower gel and now the hand cream! The scent is intoxicating. The mix of incense, amber and copal is incredibly unique. I do find the scent to be very light and can only smell it on the hand cream when I bring my hand all the way up to my nose. If you prefer more mild scents this is for you. In my experience that is how the scents of the body lotion and shower gel are as well. They are on the lighter and more mild side. The hand cream is also a lighter texture and consistency. Instead of considering it a hand “cream” (because it’s not a thick texture I typically associate with most hand creams) I would say it’s more of a hand “lotion.” I do like that it easily sinks into the skin and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy or sticky feeling on the skin. It’s appropriate for everyday or on-the-go but isn’t going to be your go-to if you are looking for intense hydration for dry skin. I wish it was a little thicker and creamer. If you’ve tried the body lotion by Nopalera you will be familiar with how the body lotion is also a very light texture and consistency so this is a few steps up from the body lotion in terms of hydration and texture. I do love Nopalera’s products especially the Dulce De Cuerpo scent it is to die for!

The Botanical Lotion Bar is a solid lotion bar in a recyclable/reusable tin. But let’s be real, the tin is so cute it would be a crime to toss into the recycle bin. The solid lotion bar makes it much easier to travel with since it is much more compact. All you need to do is hold the bar on your hands for a moment and the warmth of your skin’s body heat will allow the bar slide and melt for an easy application. It is super important to make sure that you don’t leave anywhere warm - your car, your bag, etc so that it doesn’t completely melt into liquid. It has a light citrus smell and it feels so luxurious on my skin. It absorbs into your skin without leaving any trace residue or transfer. I have already repurchased this 4 times!

Nopalera’s Cactus Shower Gel - Dulce de Cuerpo boasts a unique list of ingredients that you don’t often see in other beauty products. As a beauty enthusiast living in the Southwest, the Prickly Pear cactus is one I am very familiar with seeing on a daily basis. A silky and gentle body gel that’s safe for even the most sensitive of skins. I found that the shower gel has the best lather-payoff when using it on a loofa or shower sponge. I can also get a pump or two to lather enough to wash my entire body this way. It has a very light, beautifully amber-smoky scent. It’s not at all overpowering and I like that it makes me smell clean and refreshed. As a desert dweller, I suffer from very dry and sensitive skin all year long. The unique ingredients of prickly pear oil coupled with delicate cactus flower extracts and blue agave extract helps by repairing my very dry skin’s barrier, provides anti-inflammatories, anti-microbial and vitamins as it purifies, soothes and softens my skin. I can feel the nourishment right as I lather the shower gel over my skin. I would love to see refills available to purchase. The aluminum bottle seems too pretty to recycle once I’ve used all the shower gel.

This exfoliant was gifted but I ended up buying it after I finished it because I really liked how soft it made my skin feel. It’s a gentle exfoliation that doesn’t feel harsh on your skin at all. It also smells really good and leaves your skin lightly scented after using it. I like that after I use it I can literally feel my skin a lot more moisturized. Compared to other exfoliating products that make my skin feel dry afterwards , this is a good moisturizing product. I definitely recommend supporting this brand, they are very underrated and have lots of great products.

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.

The Cactus Flower Exfoliant is 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. I love using this on my legs before I am going to wear shorts.

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!

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.

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.
