The green and clean beauty movements have gained major momentum all over the world, with more and more consumers taking an interest in choosing healthier options for themselves, and for the environment. Long gone are the days when you’d grab the first product on the shelf that catches your eye: the modern consumer takes an interest in the ingredients used in their beauty and grooming products. They care about the origin of the ingredients, they don’t want to use products that contain potentially harmful ingredients and cruelty-free is no longer a luxury – it’s a must.
Today’s consumer is educated and eco—conscious, and frankly, we are here for it! It’s about time that we start treating our bodies and the planet with a little more consideration.
Enter The Organic Shop, an online store that provides a range of products for men, women, children, babies, and our furry family members. All their products are free of harmful additives, cruelty-free and natural, complementing the most sensitive skin and hair types and allowing people from all cultures and ethnicities to use their products confidently.
People are spending more time and money on their skin and hair than ever before, and The Organic Shop offers consumers cost-effective solutions that deliver actual results. One of their most popular ranges is Natura Siberica, a European brand that makes use of some of the world’s finest natural ingredients to manufacture skin and body products that actually work, without causing any harm.
We recently put a few of Natura Siberica’s men’s grooming products to the test – here’s how they fared:
Natura Siberica Men The Mammoth Shaving Clay and Mask 2-In-1 (R158.00)

Encapsulated in a rich, creamy foam, white clay, Siberian Cedarwood Oil and Organic Extract of Snow Cladonia ensures a smooth razor glide while soothing and protecting skin.

What we say:
“This product has a really great texture; it feels silky when you apply it to your skin and it spreads nicely. I like to apply it to my face and leave it on for five to ten minutes before I shave. That way it softens my beard, making shaving easier and it also makes my skin feel soft and smooth afterwards. It feels luxurious on my skin and it has a fresh scent.”

What we say:
“While I enjoyed all three of the Natura Siberica products that I tested, this one was my favourite. It feels great on the skin: It has a cooling effect, which feels really soothing and refreshing after a shave. Also, it doesn’t sting my skin the way a lot of other products do, which is due to the fact that it is filled with nourishing natural ingredients and does not contain alcohol. It has a refreshing scent and I enjoy the gel texture. I would definitely re-purchase this and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys a cooling sensation on freshly-shaved skin.”

What we say:
“I enjoy shower gels that hydrate the skin while cleansing it. Some shower gels feel like they strip the skin of moisture, but this one does the opposite. It’s light and refreshing, but it leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. A little goes a long way and the gel spreads nicely when you lather it. I love that it contains a lot of nourishing ingredients and that it helps refresh and awaken tired skin.”
