ONEgroup Miessence Reviews

ONEgroup Miessence reviews. Get the scoop on how Miessence skin care products rank for quality and effectiveness in these ONEgroup Miessence reviews and discover the best way to buy Miessence.

Miessence Skin Care Products

As noted elsewhere in this site, I'm pretty picky about what I put on my skin. I like ingredients that are real (as opposed to synthetic), ingredients that have a long history of safe and effective use, ingredients that are pure and organic, and I like to make my purchases—skin care and otherwise—from ethical companies. Check out my Skin Care Product Reviews page for further details on the types of criteria that should be a mainstay whenever you are evaluating personal care products like face creams, shampoos, deodorants and baby products, but for specific ONEgroup Miessence Reviews on the products I, my family and my clients have used, read on!

ONEgroup Miessence Reviews - Top 10

Miessence is the world's first comprehensive line of
Certified Organic skincare, haircare, personal care, health care and cosmetic products. Without exception, their skin care products, personal care products and organic cosmetics meet and/or exceed my general product review criteria. The questions clients often ask me, however, are which ones do I use the most, what do I like about them and what are my favourites.

The ONEGroup Miessence products that are always in our household are all of the items that make my ONEgroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 list below along with other items we love, but that just couldn't be squeezed onto the shortlist.

That means the three make up bags in the house always have the mineral foundations and blushes in them (the favourite for my skin tone is the Ginger Blush), along with the Bronzing Powder and a compact or two of the creamy, easy to apply concealer.

The lip creams are moisturizing, richly pigmented (since I usually wear minimal makeup, when the occasion calls for lipstick, I generally slick on the Jaffa Lip Balm first and then lightly apply a lip cream. That way I get some color without feeling like the first thing people notice when I walk into a room is the lips!) and versatile. Some of my clients use them as a cream blush or eye makeup. (You can see where I'm headed with this right? Next up, a ONEgroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 list for cosmetics!)

Miessence Mascara And while my girls prefer a thicker mascara than ONEgroup's, I don't go anywhere without Miessence's clean and natural version. If I need a little extra "glam", I just apply two coats (leaving a little drying time and maybe a crimp with the eyelash curler in between coats).

The little collection of ONEgroup skin care products on my bathroom vanity also includes their Firming Eye and Neck Serum and Probiotic Skin Brightener. Their specialized ingredients and product formulation absolutely do what they say (and I have the firm, smooth, fresh and brightened facial skin to prove it!).

Mivitality Inliven I'll leave their household products and supplement line reviews for a later page, but let's just say there is a reason their Foaming Hand Soap made our Top 10 products list, and I start everyday with ONEgroup's greens/probiotic supplement, In-Liven.

Lastly, a final caveat before the pre-requisite drum roll for the ONEgroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 List: every one of my family members and clients don't absolutely love every single one of the ONEgroup products. I get mixed reviews on the shampoos and toothpastes (and talk about a love-hate relationship . . . they are hands down favourites for some people and not so for others) and I have occasionally had a client that was allergic to one of the ingredients (i.e. tea tree oil) in some of the products.

Overall, however, I feel like I have found some of the most well made products for people and the earth, for the most part they work extremely well, and I feel really, really good about using them, having my children use them and recommending them to my clients. And now for the drum roll . . .

Top Products # 1, 2 and 3 - Skin Essentials Pack

Without a doubt, my absolute favourite of the Miessence products is their Skin Essential Pack. The
Rejuvenating (dry, mature skin), Balancing (normal, T-zone skin), Purifying (oily skin) and Soothing (sensitive skin) Skin Care Essentials sets each include a cleanser, a conditioner and a moisturizer, therefore I'm taking a little writer's license and having the packs take up the top three spots in my ONEgroup Miessence Reviews top 10 list.

Miessence Skin Care Products Why is the basic skin care line my favourite product? Where do I start? The cleansers slide on smoothly,
and gently and effectively remove perspiration, pollution and excess oils (note the emphasis on excess—with these cleansers there is no constant stripping of the natural oils needed to protect and keep skin healthy).

The next step, the conditioner, is what I like to refer to simply as liquid nutrients for my skin. The statement is pretty accurate, however, as even ONEgroup describes their conditioner as water-soluble botanicals, organic herbs, vitamins and essential oils that feed the skin. Not only skin nutrition, the conditioner also provides a hydration base to enhance absorption of the moisturizer, the third step in the Skin Essentials Pack.

Moisturizing and softening are the key benefits of the third product in the Skin Essential Pack, the moisturizer. In addition to the lasting positive effects on skin hydration, however, this step also creates a protective barrier against free radicals and moisture lossone of the main causes of wrinkles.

Finally, besides the uniqueness of the way Miessence makes all their products, what I specifically like about their Skin Essentials Pack and why they excel in the ONEgroup Miessence Reviews is:
  • the personalized touch of a variety of products for pretty well every skin type (i.e. dry, t-zone, oily, sensitive) and situation (i.e. acne, rosacea, baby skin, mature skin)
  • the use of an amazing range of natural and organic plant and seed oils and plant gels, juices and extracts. Narelle Chenery, company director and product creator, has done her homework on the types of ingredients that bring health and vitality and it shows in both the diversity of ingredients as well as in the effectiveness of such a wide range of products.
  • the feel of the products; no matter which family members or clients are using one of the Miessence products, the comments are always the same with regard to the positive way the products feel going on and the soft and fresh results with the feel of skin after use.
  • the products are not inexpensivealthough they are generally less than other top of the line certified organic skin care productsbut they are cost-effective. A little goes a long way. With Miessence's three product Skin Essentials sets, I find the cleanser lasts about a year, the conditioner 4-6 months and the moisturizer 2-3 months.
  • the clean, fresh and organic scent. Each Skin Essentials Pack is made up of its own unique recipe of certified organic ingredients and therefore has its own unique natural scent. Initially, the scent of the Rejuvenating set I use wasn't my favourite of the four types but I have grown to really love it. And, though there are herbal and floral notes underlying all the Miessence skin care products, in the words of my 19 year old son, "They don't make you smell 'girly'".
Top Product #4 - Deodorant

Next up as number 4 on my "favourites" list in the ONEgroup Miessence Reviews is their deodorant. Like many "hippie earth mamas" I have tried almost every natural deodorant known to mankind. Many of them contain ingredients I wouldn't want under my or my children's arms and many of the ones that contain decent ingredients, don't work well. The Miessence deodorants, however, work very well for me and for many of my family members and clients.

Miessence Deodorant When applying the Miessence deodorants, you want to be sure to give yourself a few minutes after application before putting on a shirt, although even if your top goes on when your armpits are still wet, there is generally no residue on the fabric. A couple of my very athletic family members find the deodorant not strong enough to deal with odors when they go from PE class to basketball practise to soccer practise (maybe implementing showering after PE in the school system again would help!).



On another note; I have a few ladies who are interested in some of the deodorant (I shameless plug the stuff) so I'd like to put in another order for at least five more (Tahitian Breeze). JD



On the other hand, I have a client who runs and works with runners and she uses, recommends and has good success with the Miessence deodorant for the people she trains. I too run on a regular basis and find it works fine. Bottom line, give it a try. There is a very good chance either the unscented (my favourite), the Ancient Spice or the Tahitian Breeze deodorant will be one of your new ONEgroup Miessence Reviews favourites as well.

Top Product # 5 - Jaffa Lip Balm

The Jaffa Lip Balm has to be next on my top 10 ONEgroup Miessence Reviews list, especially now in its new twist-up stick packaging

Knowing I and my kids are slicking our lips with soothing, moisturizing, protective and, in a pinch, edible ingredients like nutritious Shea butter, avocado and sunflower oils means a lot to me—especially in light of the fact of how much lipstick and lip balm consumers accidentally "eat" each month. The organic orange and vanilla not only taste delicious but also make lips eminently kissable!

Top Product #6 - Intensive Body Cream

The first Miessence product I ever tried, the Intensive Body Cream's rich, smooth and quick moisturizing results sold me on ONE group and is a natural for my ONEgroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 list.

Miessence Intensive Body Cream A certified organic intensive to moisturize and revitalize skin, the Intensive Body Cream contains organic Shea butter, a concentrated blend of organic avocado and safflower oils, phospholipids, vitamins and antioxidants that create a . And the bonus, the ingredients also actively promote elasticity and suppleness (or as my youngest says, "Mom, your hands are soooo smooth!")

Top Product #7 - Sunflower Body Wash
Miessene Sunflower Body Wash
Even if Miessence's Sunflower Body Wash didn't contain great moisturizing ingredients like vitamin-rich, cold-pressed organic safflower oil, and didn't gently cleanse with invigorating orange peel, lemon peel and lime peel oils, and couldn't be used as a safe alternative to children's bubble bath and baby wash products, it would still be on my ONEgroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 list. Why? It just smells that great!

Top Product #8 - Foaming Hand Soap

Of all the wonderful and exciting ONEgroup products, you might wonder why a "lowly" hand soap makes my ONEGroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 List.
Let's just say this isn't the chemical-laden, overly acidic soap your mother may have used. Because it's a true soap (saponified plant oils) it's naturally free of synthetic chemicals and detergents, and naturally safe for regular use. That actually makes it more like your grandmother's soap!

Miessence Refillable Foaming Hand Soap comes as a concentrate that you mix with purified water. I like the economics of a concentrate and my family likes the luxurious hand washing experience the instant foam provides. The soap also smells great which means I've found my youngest washing her hands more often (YEAH!!) simply because she loves the aroma.

Top Product # 9 - Baby Barrier Cream

I have to admit, I have yet to try this cream; my youngest child is 13 and so diapers are a distant memory! So why does it make my ONEgroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 list? Because I can't ignore the raves of the clients I have that are using it with their newborns or the friends who have received it from me as a baby shower gift.

A soothing balm that protects baby's sensitive areas, the Baby Barrier Cream softens dry patches, soothes irritated skin and calms redness. The ingredients are especially combined to repel moisture, calm minor skin inflammations and protect the diaper area from chafing. From everything everyone is telling me . . . the Baby Barrier Cream lives up to all the advertising PR and more.

And bonus, because it soothes chapped skin in general, the Baby Barrier Cream can be used all over baby's body to help relieve extra dry patches as well as is helpful for relieving cuts, scrapes, bites, sun and wind burn. Hmmmm. Guess that means that out of the diaper stage or not, I should probably be tossing some Baby Barrier Cream in my first aid kit. It will probably be well used even before the grandchildren stage!

Top Product # 10 - Garnet Exfoliant or maybe
Purifying Blemish Gel or, on no,
don't want to leave out the Tropicana Body Milk

Sigh! So many great products and such a short list. Since I was polling the family on their ONEgroup Miessence Reviews favourites as well, my 16 year old cast her vote for the Garnet Exfoliant and the Purifying Blemish Gel. Her response reminded me of how much I love the smooth, glowing and youthful look and feel I too get after using the Garnet Exfoliant.

Miessence Garnet Exfoliant This polished alluvial garnet scrub effectively clears congestion resulting from a build-up of dead, dry surface skin cells. With its refreshing citrus blend of organic lemon, bergamot and orange, I and a friend of mine, who worked for five years as a skin care expert with absolute top of the line skin care products, believe the Garnet Exfoliant is quite possibly the best scrub ever!

All five of my kids have followed skin healthy eating principles since they were in-utero and have great skin. That doesn't mean, however, that after a week of basketball camp or a vacation with a few too many "sometimes" foods, that they don't get the odd blemish. Purifying Blemish Gel's potent blend of healing and calming organic herbs and flowers makes short and effective work of any blemishes that make an appearance and therefore it ends up on my ONEgroup Miessence Reviews short list as well. My nutrition clients also report that it works great with cyclical adult acne and, along with the Purifying Skin Essentials Pack, even severe acne conditions in teenagers and young adults.


Can I also say, I love the coconut skin cream [Tropicana Body Milk] because the baby can suck on my fingers, hands, shoulders and I don't have to worry about what's going in to his mouth. MC


And finally, what would a ONEgroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 List be without Tropicana Body Milk? A light, certified organic body milk, Tropicana Body Milk's raw coconut oil creates a protective barrier against moisture loss, while organic aloe vera inner leaf gel nourishes and hydrates dry skin. And all that hard work of soothing, moisturizing and revitalizing happens with an exquisitely light coconut and frangipani scent. Looking good and smelling delicious at the same time will definitely get you a spot on my ONEgroup Miessence Reviews Top 10 list!
