Devonian GREEMU: The Green, Cruelty Free Alternative to Emu Oil Review

GREEMU Oil and Certificate of Analysis.

I had the privilege of trying the Devonian GREEMU Distributed By Koru Naturals for this review to use in conjunction with my own beauty regimen. This is a Schoolhouse Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.

Devonian is a fairly new company to the natural health and beauty world. Their science research based approach has brought one product, GREEMU, so far to their ever expanding line of plant based beauty products. Their primary focus is to replace animal products with ingredients derived from plants.

Koru Naturals is a company that brings natural bath and beauty products from New Zealand to the United States. These natural beauty products have ingredients like: Argan Oil, Emu Oil, Blue Tansy Oil, Manuka Oil, Manuka Honey, lanolin, Rotorua Mud, Rosehip Oil, Australian Sandalwood, Sheep Placenta, Bee Venom, French Clays, Shea Butter, Tea Tree Oil, and New Zealand Flowers. They have bath, beauty, candles, diffusers, and honey products. Koru Naturals is also a distributor of Devonian GREEMU.

Emu oil is extracted from the fat tissues of the Emu, an Australian flightless bird, during processing. Emu oil was prized for a hair and skin treatment for hundreds of years by Australian Aborigines and is one of the most popular oils used in the beauty industry. It has vitamins, minerals, and the essential fatty acids Omega 3 and 6. Since it is made from animal products; however, some people would rather use something more humane for their beauty regime.

GREEMU

GREEMU is a green alternative made entirely of a combination of plant oils and butters that can be a humane replacement for Emu Oil. It was created by Devonian after two years of research and simulates the look, feel, color, consistency and lipid composition of Grade A emu oil. GREEMU is made up of five ingredients: Macadamia Oil, Palm Oil Certified Organic, Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Rice Bran Oil. It, like its animal counterpart, protects and nourishes skin and hair from the elements. It improves appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also reduces dry hair and split ends.

How I Used This and My Thoughts:

I was excited to get GREEMU to try out because I had heard great things about the Emu Oil and this was a healthy substitute that was cruelty free. I am not vegan or vegetarian but using beauty products that are cruelty free does matter to me. I also love to use products that are 100% natural.

The directions for using GREEMU are simple and can be added to an everyday beauty regime easily. All you need is a couple drops at a time. I rubbed it gently in a circular motion onto my face and hands. Then I used a couple more drops and applied it from root to tip in my hair massaging my scalp as well with the oil.

So, what is the consistency, look, and texture of GREEMU? It is an opaque, slightly cream colored blend of oils. The beauty oil absorbs into the skin without any icky oily residue left behind. It also doesn't have a noticeable scent. It is smooth and liquidy.

My skin loved the stuff, soaked it up, and felt immeasurably softer to the touch after I applied it. I did read the label and it says to not use it if you are allergic to plant oils. I am somewhat sensitive to things and GREEMU did not break me out in any way. I even tried it on my face and it was very gentle. I love this plant based oil, especially for my hands as they are getting calloused and worn from all the gardening I have been doing. GREEMU makes my hands less rough. I did not have any problems with it. I loved that it seemed to make my flyaway hair more manageable and my split ends disappear. A little goes a long way for hair, though. Don't overdo it or your hair will just look greasy. With just a small drop of the oil my hair seemed shinier and healthier looking.

BUY IT
A 4 ounce bottle of GREEMU is $10.80 which is cheaper than the same size bottle of Emu Oil (over $18). You can get a 20% off discount if you enter the GN395Z10 coupon code upon purchase of GREEMU through Koru Naturals by May 31st, 2016.

Koru Naturals Review

My family had the privilege of trying the Koru Naturals products: Skin Clear Cream, Manuka Honey Propolis Soap, Manuka Honey and Manuka Oil Facial Cleanser & Manuka Honey, Tamarind and Manuka Oil Facial Toner for this review to use in conjunction with our own homeschool curriculum. This is a Schoolhouse Review Crew Review. All opinions expressed are my own or those of my family.

Koru Naturals is a company that brings natural bath and beauty products from New Zealand to the United States. These natural beauty products have ingredients like: Argan Oil, Emu Oil, Blue Tansy Oil, Manuka Oil, Manuka Honey, lanolin, Rotorua Mud, Rosehip Oil, Australian Sandalwood, Sheep Placenta, Bee Venom, French Clays, Shea Butter, Tea Tree Oil, and New Zealand Flowers. They have bath, beauty, candles, diffusers, and honey products.

I got to try four of their products: Skin Clear Cream, Manuka Honey Propolis Soap, Manuka Honey and Manuka Oil Facial Cleanser & Manuka Honey, Tamarind and Manuka Oil Facial Toner. The NZ Fusion Botanicals product line of Koru Naturals contains no parabens, artificial colorants or fragrances. All these products use natural ingredients to protect the face and skin. They help solve skin problems and keep it looking healthy.

Skin Clear Cream is part of the NZ Fusion Botanicals product line of Koru Naturals. This skin cream is great for acne prone skin and blemishes. It's main ingredients are raw, unpasteurized Manuka Honey (rated at 20+) and pure steam-distilled East Cape Manuka Oil. For the 20th Anniversary of this product they have made a more advanced formula with some other ingredients added to those that have been present since the beginning. These include: Kawakawa and Harakeke, Burdock Root, Thyme, Canadian Aspen Bark, etc. A full list of ingredients is listed on their website. This skin cream has natural moisturizers and promotes skin elasticity as well.

Manuka Honey Propolis Soap is a 4.93 oz boxed bar of soap made with Manuka Honey and Propolis from the hives of bees. This beautiful golden colored bar has a bee shape stamped in it and is honey comb shaped. It is gentle on the skin, a natural moisturizer, and a skin protectant.

Manuka Honey and Manuka Oil Facial Cleanser Gel is part of the NZ Fusion Botanicals product line of Koru Naturals. This facial cleanser comes in a 4 fl.oz/120ml silver bottle with squirt pump. It has Aloe Vera Juice, Lavender, Manuka Honey, Manuka Oil, Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, and other ingredients that are all listed on their website. The combination of ingredients in this deep cleanser is gentle on acneic, oily, combination and sensitive skin. Use this before the toner and moisturizer.

Manuka Honey, Tamarind and Manuka Oil Facial Toner is is part of the NZ Fusion Botanicals product line of Koru Naturals. This facial toner comes in 4 fl.oz/118ml silver bottle with squirt pump (shown in the picture is the spray pump). This product has been improved with the addition of Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Beta Carotene (Pro Vitamin A) for even more skin protection. A list of all ingredients is on their website. This works for people with acneic, oily, combination and sensitive skin. Perfect for conditioning skin after cleansing and before moisturizing.

How We Used This and Our Thoughts:

I love all of the products that I received from Koru Naturals. They all smell divine and do their job really well. I started using them from the time I received them and am still using these products on myself. The four products I received from Koru Naturals were majorly for my face, all except for the soap bar that I used all over to clean and moisturize my body. I also love that these four products all go very well together in a beauty routine.

I used the facial cleanser, facial toner, and cream products in my morning beauty routine. The first product you are supposed to use on your face is the Manuka Honey and Manuka Oil Facial Cleanser. It comes out of the pump as a gel and you are supposed to shake the bottle well before dispensing. Then you massage a small amount in an upwards circular motion with clean fingers or a cotton pad all over your face especially where problematic areas are, wait 2 minutes, and give your face a good rinse. This made my face tingle a little and I could feel it working. I only needed about two pumps of it to get my whole face covered. Next you put the Manuka Honey, Tamarind and Manuka Oil Facial Toner on by applying it all over the face and allowing it to dry completely. This product has a cooling sensation and also feels like it is tightening the skin slightly. This refreshes my skin and tones, or shrinks the pores; making it look younger, smoother, and fresher. Lastly I moisturized my face with the Skin Clear Cream. It comes in a handy container with a screw off lid, a plastic covering (to separate the spoon from the cream, and a small plastic spoon so that you can scoop it out without using your fingers. It needed stirred before use too because some of the honey had separated from the cream and it was so much easier to do this with the little spoon as well. The cream went on smoothly and didn't leave my face overly oily. It absorbed into my skin well and left my face feeling really smooth and soft. The Manuka Honey Propolis Soap is a wonderful honey glycerin bar with propolis from bees. The benefits of Manuka honey are great. Honey is anti-bacterial, antibiotic, and is said to repair tissue damage. My husband and I have used honey to treat burns and it works miraculously to heal the skin. Propolis is natures richest source of bioflavanoids which defend your skin against the damaging effects of stress, pollution, and even age itself. I love the cute packaging and appearance of this bar of soap. It suds well and leaves a wonderful fragrance behind, cleaning the skin and leaving it moisturized and silky smooth. These products are amazing and I will be getting them again once I am all out. I am also excited to try more Koru Naturals products in the upcoming years.

BUY IT
You can buy the Skin Clear Cream for $19.20, Manuka Honey and Manuka Oil Facial Cleanser for $13.60, Manuka Honey, Tamarind and Manuka Oil Facial Toner for $13.20, & Manuka Honey Propolis Soap for $7.90 on the Koru Naturals website.

It also eliminates bad breath and reinforces healthy gums and teeth. All this happens without harmful chemicals!

It is also recommended by dentists worldwide.

Directions – 4 Step Oral Hygiene Program

1. Brush twice a day in the morning and evening using 2-5 drops of OraMD on a toothbrush and brush normally.
2. Floss every evening before brushing - more frequently as needed. Get any food particles out from between teeth.
3. Rinse with OraMD like a mouthwash twice a day: morning and evening. Just put 2-5 drops into an ounce of water, swish and gargle.
4. Refresh your mouth. Mid-morning, mid-afternoon and as needed: put 2-5 drops of OraMD on the tip of the tongue to coat the gum line and teeth to kill bacteria and keep breath fresh.

My Thoughts:
At first use I didn't like the taste this product left in my mouth. It is fairly potent and has a intense, strong flavor. After using it for a while I got used to the flavor. OraMD cleaned my teeth well and left them shiny and polished looking. Personally, I liked using it after I brushed with baking soda or hydrogen peroxide as instructed for getting my teeth whiter. After a few weeks using the product as instructed I noticed my gums started looking healthier and I had fresher breath. I was very happy with the results. I love that it is a safer more natural alternative than the conventional methods out there. It can also conveniently be carried anywhere with you so you can use it anytime. I love that it will end up saving me money on oral care and dental bills in the future because of its preventative nature.
