Nature Box Coconut Oil Range Review

Overall this is a really nice range of products. While I did find that the coconut scent wasn’t my favourite (I usually love coconut scents, but this range had more of a “fake coconut” scent than I would like), I found that the range overall was super moisturising and the products did a good job of doing what they said they would. My favourite products from this range was the lightweight hair treatment and the body lotion, however the shampoo, conditioner and body wash were all quite good too. While the shampoo didn’t work great with my oilier roots, my parter (who doesn’t have this problem) said he loved it. I also loved that the shampoo, conditioner and body lotion come in pump-style packaging!

The packaging across all of these products is sleek, fresh and generous. It's great that the packaging of these products contains some recycled material, and the product is vegan.

The whole range has a lovely coconut scent which lingers in my hair and on my skin.

The shampoo and conditioner are in generous sized containers, with a pump dispenser. I love that they have a pump, as I can better regulate how much product I am using. It has helped soften and moisturise my hair so I am happy with these products.

The spray in hair treatment has a nice scent, but has not improved my hair at all.

The shower gel, and moisturiser are both lovely. They are soft and nourishing and have helped hydrate my skin.

On the whole this collection is definitely worth trying!

I was super excited to be selected to trial the Nature Box Coconut oil range- what an amazing opportunity! The products are beautifully packaged in vibrant blue and look gorgeous on the shelf. My one bone to pick is that they feature dispenser pumps- which I love... except the shower gel!?!! Why !?!?!! I hate squeeze bottles and much prefer the practically and portion control of a pump dispenser.

As these products contain coconut oil, you could expect a reasonably strong coconut scent, especially as you layer all of the products. I enjoyed the scent in my hair but found the smell of the shower gel and even more so, the body lotion, just too strong and almost artificial.

The hair care products are definitely the stars of this range, I love love LOVE the milky spray in treatment and will be sure to purchase this again. The shampoo and conditioner do a great job of cleaning and hydrating without weighing hair down, perfect for my fine hair!

I found the shower gel didn’t lather as much as I prefer and was a perfectly nice shower gel, just not as hydrating as I expected. The moisturiser was nice for daily use and left my skin feeling soft- it was the scent that was just too much for me!

I was so excited to be accepted for this trial. 5 full size products with such an amazing smell. I do like the fact that if is free from silicones and parabens and is made from 25% recycled plastic. Got to be good for the environment. Is priced very well and not too expensive. I did like the bright blue packaging as stands out in the shower with easy to read labels. I found that the entire range has a very soft coconut smell that is not overpowering and does linger on your skin/hair. My favourite product would be the body wash as it just made my skin feel so clean and refreshed. My least favourite would be the hair treatment, hair felt a little sticky and I don't think it made my hair feel more hydrated. Three of the bottles have pumps so makes it a little hard for travel. They do come in a convenient size for fitting in the shower. Have really enjoyed using these products but I don't think I would purchase again once I have finished these bottles.

This range has such cool and different packaging. I had high hopes for it all and as I am a complete fan of everything coconut, couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Unfortunately I did not love it as much as I wanted to. The scent was not strong enough for me in the majority of the range, with the exception of the hair hydrating spray. It's a very funky looking range for the bathroom shelf, the striking blue with retro labels. The shampoo did the job of cleaning my scalp to roots and was a light consistency. The conditioner was quite light, much too light for my highlighted hair which requires a fair bit of hydration. The hair treatment was great, loved it and will repurchase it! My hair felt soft and hydrated afterwards. The shower gel and body lotion was my least favourite. Overall I thought the scent smelt mildrewy and although that goes away after the lotion dries into your skin, I didn't want that scent to transfer to my clothes so I only used it a couple of times.

This range came with a shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion and leave in hair conditioner.

I tried the shampoo and leave in conditioner first.

The shampoo had a strong chemically smell that my nose didn't like, so that was a bit off putting to start with. But it foamed up okay given it didn't have any lauryl sulfates and rinsed out well. It also appeared to not strip any oils or colour out of my hair which was pleasing.

The leave in conditioner has a really nice texture, I used 4 pumps (too much) the first time and then 3 pumps thereafter. Too much left my short hair a bit greasy but 3 was just right. Less is definitely more with this product.

Having trialled the leave in conditioner first, I then tried the conditioner post shampoo a few days later. This had a nice milky texture, easy to squeeze out of the bottle and better smelling than the shampoo. For my short hair, I used a blob the size of a 10 cent piece, massaged it between my hands and applied it to my hair. I left it a minute then rinsed it out. No greasy after feel post rinse and my hair looked shiny after it had dried.

Next up I tried the shower gel and body lotion. Again the shower gel had quite a strong chemical coconut smell that my nose didn't like but I tried it over a week to see if I got used to it, sadly it wasn't for me based purely on that one factor. Too stinky.

The body lotion was thankfully much nicer and less stinky than the shower gel. Really nice texture, not too runny or thick and absorbs pretty quickly. About 3 pumps per lower leg and full arm and a bit more for my stomach and chest. No greasy after feel which was a bonus. This was probably my favourite product across the range so I think I'd buy it again.

(Across the whole range, it appeared the smell was strongest across the clear products and less so amongst the milky ones, the manufacturer needs to address this in my opinion.)

It's a pity this range has such variation in smell across the range. Some people may like a strong coconut smell, but sadly I'm not one of them. I prefer something a bit more subtle. As I've said the only product I would use across this range again would be the body range.

This nature box contains 5 different skin care and hair care products. All of the products are in a blue packaged bottled, most with twist pumps which make them easy to use. They are great size products making them value for money. The claim to be natural, using no nasties and the bottles are made from recycled products, making them environmentally friendly. I found the skin care lotion to be lovely. A great coconut smell which is moisturising. The down side is that you’ll have to moisturise daily. The shower/ body wash is effective, but nothing special. It does have a nice coconut scent to it. I would have preferred for the scent to linger on my skin but it didn’t. The hair care range is average. The shampoo and conditioner are effective. The results I noticed are the same as other products anyone can purchase from a supermarket and for a cheaper price.

I have reviewed all these products individually. The only product I could see myself purchasing in the future is the hair treatment. It was the only product I enjoyed the scent of and I felt like was improving the quality of my hair more than other products I've used. I'm disappointed to see that these are more costly supermarket products but aren't of any better quality than cheaper, similar products.

I was quite excited to try this range after having a gander at their Instagram page, the products looked very nice and definitely promoted the "nature" theme. The packaging is bright blue and definitely catches the eye. Most products have a pump also.

However, I found the range as a whole to be quite average. I didn't think they provided anything spectacular in the way of hydration (after claiming to provide intense hydration) and the scent wasnt particularly captivating either.

The two products I felt were best were the shampoo and conditioner which did leave my hair feeling nice and soft. The shower gel done its job also but the leave in conditioner spray and the body lotion left much to be desired.

I also felt like the range gives the impression it is made with all, or mostly, natural ingredients which is not the case. It is vegan and ethically sourced however so thats a plus.

These products are on the more expensive end of supermarket prices ($15 for the shampoo/conditioner), so they are not something I would purchase again. However I will continue using the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The body lotion will go to the cupboard for emergencies.

This is a nicely packaged range. I like the colours and styles and love that it’s vegan.

The top points here are the shampoo and conditioner for me. My hair tends to be on the dryer side so the coconut oil really helped add some moisture. I love the smell of it however it doesn’t linger in my hair. I use it on my sons hair and it lingers in his and is amazing on his hair. So I think I’ll keep using it for him and go back to my other shampoo.

The leave in moisture is alright but didn’t have a noticeable effect for me. Again this would be something better for fine hair or kiddie hair.

The body wash was nice enough and I felt clean after using it so that was good. The smell was lovely in shower but didn’t linger. Which is a good thing for people who don’t want it to but I like it to so I was disappointed.

The body lotion smelled and felt nice as well but the moisture didn’t hold into the skin long at all.

The price point is not something I’d pay for these products based off effectiveness only. If they worked better for me I definitely would though.
