Kuumba Made

I had the extreme pleasure of trying out a variety of Kuumba Made products.
Water Goddess (scent) Lotion, Bath Oil, Bath Salts and perfume; Twilight Shimmers lip balm, Breathe Deep chest rub, and Herbal Healing Salve. All of these products were absolutely tremendous in every category.

Scent - The Water Goddess scent in the lotion, bath oil, perfume and bath salts was luxurious and enticing.  The scent was like walking on the beach on a blooming spring evening. There is a slight floral and musk that mingles together to create a relaxing experience.

The Herbal Healing Salve smells like an herb garden. It almost has a very soft patchouli smell, which could be attributed to the Echinacea. It's very faint and not at all overwhelming. If you had a burn on your nose, the scent would not irritate.

The breathe deep chest rub was a lifesaver during my last bout of strep throat. It has this peppermint/lemon/rosemary smell that reminds me of my favorite soothing tea. Smelling it now, I wish I could drink it! It's a creamy smooth scent that opens up the sinuses without the harshness of most chest rubs like VapoRub.

Quality - The herbal healing salve was perfect for tattoo aftercare as well as the occasional booboo. In fact, my lips just ripped during a violent sneeze a few minutes ago, and the salve has soothed the stinging burn. The fact that it is organic makes me confident about applying it to my lips.

The Water Goddess lotion was a lifesaver last winter. I was in Boston, and the wind can get so biting cold that it feels like it is ripping your skin off. It was gentle enough to use on my face, but strong enough to where I didn't have to reapply every few minutes.

The Boston winter also affected my lips and the lip shimmers quickly became my go-to lip balm. It soothed my dry cracked lips and added just a hint of color. The last tinted lip balm I tried was Burt's Bees and that one made my lips look like it was stained by Kool Aid. Twilight Lip Shimmers was subtle and realistic.


Overall, Kuumba Made has become my favorite bath and body brand. If they made shampoo and body wash, then my bathroom needs would be set! I'm excited to try out their other scents.
