Wunder Workshop Turmeric Latte The Original Golden Mylk Blend
This smooth, healing drink is the perfect way to get your daily turmeric fix.

It's free of artificial additives, sugar, dairy, and caffeine. To prepare, you add 2 tsps of powder to a cup to create a paste with hot water, then fill a cup with your choice of hot milk/milk alternative.
Whamisa Organic Hydrogel Mask
This organic fruits & tomato fermented hydrogel mask is soaked in skin-plumping botanical serum to drench your face in ultra hydration and nutrition for instantly glowing, clear skin. Good for all skin types.
Alchemy Amla Hair Remedy Oil
This hair oil is a potent blend of 5 super oils to promote growth and strengthen hair. Made with a combination of Amla, Coconut, Avocado, and Argan oils topped off with a splash of Lemon Essential Oil to naturally cleanse. These all work in sync to fight premature greying, promote growth and impart a lustrous shine.
Chi Organic Coconut Oil Pulling Sachet
Oil pulling has been used for centuries in coconut producing countries as a cosmetic aid. Oil pulling works because it contains Lauric Acid. Whilst swishing coconut oil for up to 20 minutes, bacteria adheres to the oil and is removed when you spit. I've tried this before and there's no way I can swish this in my mouth for 20 minutes...has anyone else tried this?
Siam SEAS Purifying Herbal Head to Toe Mask
Neither of these two products came with instructions, so I'm not exactly sure how to use this product, but I assume you just mix it with water to create a paste and then apply it like any other mask.
Siam SEAS Mekha Herbal Active Cleanser
This anti-inflammatory cleanser turns into a creamy cleansing milk when you emulsify the cleanser on wet skin. You can also use it as a deep cleansing and decongesting mask.
Fushi Organic Tamanu Oil
Tamanu oil offers a number of excellent skin benefits, including helping to heal scars, stretch marks, acne scars, anti-aging, abrasions, and sunburn. It has antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and aids in the regeneration of the skin. It is often recommended for acne prone skin and for dry and scaly skin conditions. It's mostly known for its healing abilities and accelerating the growth of healthy skin.
Vertue is a box I knew nothing about before this review so obviously, I didn't quite know what to expect. Now that I've had a chance to explore what they're all about, this is a box I can stand behind. I love that they're all about clean, green and cruelty-free products and that they partner with brands that have rigorously tested and chosen based on their values and ethics. They also use eco-friendly packaging and suppliers. All these brands are new to me and I have a use for most of them so that's great! I only wish that they had included more info on each product.
