Design Essentials Coconut & Monoi Deep Moisture Balm (Review & Giveaway!) 

21/3/2016

I was recently asked to review Design Essential's Coconut and Monoi Deep Moisture Balm, to which I replied yes!
I was surprised when I discovered the product I was reviewing was created to be used on both hair and body. I have always used separate products for my hair and skin, the thought of one product all over seemed a little too good to be true. However, I was willing to put the Deep Moisture Balm to the test having already tried and loved the Milk Soufflé, Oil Treatment, and not forgetting the Deep Moisture Masque from the ​Coconut and Monoi range.
I wanted to see if the balm lived up to the high standards the other products met.
As always, before I receive a product I always do a little research. I found that the Deep Moisture Balm is a 10-in-1, preservative-free blend featuring Shea Butter and ten of the most exotic and efficacious oils for repair, strength and shine. It is infused with Marula Oil and Moringa Oil, its lightweight, a highly moisturising balm and can be used as a daily hydrator for hair, scalp skin and body.
Just like the rest of the Coconut and Monoi products the ingredients for the balm contain:
  • NO PARABENS
  • NO PARAFFINS
  • NO PETROLATUM
  • NO GLUTEN
  • NO PHTHALATES
  • NO DEA
  • NO TEA

At this point I was really excited and couldn't wait for the balm to arrive. So once I received the Deep Moisture Balm, the first thing I noticed was the consistent sweet coconut scent just like all the products from the Coconut and Monoi line. The balm is white in colour and has a very thick solid consistency which softens and melts as soon as it touches the warmth of your hand. It kind of reminded me of a shea butter and coconut mix but with extra added nutrients!

The directions for use state to first rub a small amount into your hands for even distribution. Then apply to wet or dry skin and hair. To specially target dry areas including hair ends, feet, and hands.

I decided to first try the Deep Moisture Balm as a moisturiser on dry hair. I rubbed a small amount into my hands and evenly distributed the balm throughout my hair from root to tip. I then gave my scalp a little massage and could feel my hair absorbing all the moisture and oils. It left my hair feeling really moisturised without the weighed down greasy feeling. When I woke up the next day I was really surprised when I didn’t need to add more product to my hair. My hair still felt very soft, hydrated and had lots of shine.
For my skin, I emulsified the product in my hands until it melted and gently smoothed the balm onto my skin. I didn’t need to use too much as a little did go a long way. After a long day out and about, my skin continued to feel hydrated and soft throughout the day, especially my hands which were exposed to the harsh London cold.

Overall I feel the Deep Moisture Balm is a great product which delivers its promises to hydrate and moisturise both hair and skin. As someone who travels often, I found the Deep Moisture Balm is a brilliant multitasker. It can be a space saver and great to take with you on long journeys or flights to help prevent dry hair and skin. What I like about this product is that it can be used on both damp and dry hair, is a heat protectant, combats frizz, gives amazing shine, hydrates and softens skin.

It sounds like I would love this product. I went natural about a year ago but I've been on and off. But this month I'm trying to not put any heat on my hair, so I would really love this product. I think I'm gonna try it 😌

I love trying different deep conditioning/moisturizing products! My hair dries easily, and anything that works to keep my moisture in tact is good in my book :-) AND this works for skin too! #winning Thanks for the giveaway!

It sounds like a pretty good deal especially for someone starting their natural hair journey. This way you can save money and try out one product at a time and see what works. The bonus part is that it can be used on the skin. It's a win win situation.

Your review is informational. I enjoyed reading your blog. Its good to know this is a natural product & can also be used on the body. I like that you mentioned it doesn't weigh your hair down & you did not have to reapply product the next day. I like trying new products because not all works with my hair. Thanks so much for the review. Your hair is gorgeous & so are you my dear.

To be honest, I really love design essential products because I have thick 3c hair and my hair tends to dry especially in the winter, design essentials never fail me. I did a review on them on IG. I know people who tried this Coconut & Monoi Deep Moisture Balm and they love it. I love your review and would love try this product for both hair and skin. Thanks for this awesome giveaway

What an innovative idea. It's the best of both worlds being coconut and monoi. I know it's great for your hair and body and smells divine. I travel a great deal and this would be great to cut down on my travel essentials
