Feng Shui Naturals Hair & Skin Care Line Review

We had the pleasure of visiting Brownstone Natural Hair & Barber Studio’s LoctoberFest on Monday, October 27!  The event was filled with deeply-discounted hair services, complimentary breakfast and lunch, handmade jewelry and excellent customer service.  

Upon arrival, we were greeted by courteous Brownstone stylists who were ready and willing to cater to our needs.  Shortly after, we met with Brownstone owners Jamal and Abenee Timazee –husband and wife partners - to discuss the event and their Feng Shui Naturals  hair and skin care line.  The energy, enthusiasm and services provided at Brownstone are just a few reasons why we recommend you check out this salon, but today we want to primarily discuss the Philadelphia born product line – Feng Shui Naturals.

The Product

Feng Shui Naturals was created in April 2004 in response to a client complaining about his itchy, inflamed scalp.  Abenee, a driven and compassionate stylist, began thinking and formulating natural combinations that could potentially provide relief for her client. She came up with the product now known as “Feng Shui Hair & Scalp Serum.” When asked how the Feng Shui methodology translates to her hair and skin care line, Abenee responded, “Feng Shui represents balance.  Many reasons we suffer from ailments like hair loss, itchy scalp and other skin conditions is because our body is creating more or less of different hormones that may adversely affect us.  The Feng Shui Naturals line tries to balance out some of these things.  Every product in the line contains traditional Feng Shui elements like water, fire and more.”

Currently, the Feng Shui Naturals line consists of 11 products, including hand wash, body scrub, moisturizers and more.  Many of the products were developed based on the needs and request of Abenee’s clients.  All of the products are organic and handmade with a shelf life of 2 to 5 years, depending on the product. But Abenee is so confident of her product’s natural goodness, she adds, “If you ate my products you would not get sick!”

The job of an entrepreneur never end, as as Abenee spends her evenings making each product from scratch.  With every product she prides herself on providing quality and continuum. As a result of her hard work and attention to detail three out of the 11 Feng Shui products landed a spot on the shelves of seven Whole Foods Market stores in the region.

It was a two-year wait and vigorous application process but, “when you really focus on something, it will take off,” says Abenee.    The next time you’re at a Whole Foods Market, check out Feng Shui Naturals:  Feng Shui, Bambo and Ubiquity!   You may even have the opportunity to meet the jovial owner and founder of the line at your local store, as she regularly gives out samples and explains all of the amazing benefits of the products to customers.

The Review

We had the opportunity to try out two products, Energy body scrub and Harmony hand and body moisturizer from the Feng Shui Naturals line.  Here are our thoughts on the products.

Energy:  All-In-One Moisturizing, Exfoliating Body Scrub

Egypt:  As soon as I opened the bag I was in love!  The smell of the body scrub is delightful.  The scent lingers for most of the day without being overpowering.  My lips tend to get very dry and brittle due to my lipstick, so I decided to try the moisturizing and exfoliating scrub on my lips.  After gently scrubbing and rinsing, the dry skin was removed and my lips felt soft and supple again!

Toya:  I love the smell of both products. I used the scrub on dry areas of my skin right before my shower. It's a gentle yet effective body scrub. This scrub didn't irritate or leave my skin feeling dry. I also love that this product contains all natural ingredients.  The body scrub is the right texture, not too oily or  grainy – it’s just the right consistency!

Harmony:  Hand and Body Moisturizer

Egypt:  I used the moisturizer on my hands.  The smell of the product is light and gender neutral.  I didn't really love the texture of the moisturizer.  It’s a bit hard, but after melting it slightly, by simply sitting it under warm water, it applied perfectly.

Toya:  I use the hand and body cream for both my body and hair. I like to use this product right after the shower while my skin is still wet – it glides on with ease.  My skin is moisturized and soft all day. This product isn't sticky or greasy.  It absorbs into the skin well. I also used this product to do a twist out and got great results. I didn't have a problem using this in my hair, since it's a natural product. I wet my hair with a little water and applied a small amount of product (a little goes a long way). I love how this product made my hair feel soft and manageable. The next morning I took my hair out using no extra product. It wasn't heavy and weighted down by product and provided great definition.
