I was torn by these two products as I had wanted only the best and safest products to touch my skin. I wasn’t able to stop myself from buying them both as I was looking for something i  could REALLY use. Leeet’s get ready to rrrumble!!!  Battle of Organic Hand Sanitizers: Leyende’s Cool Hand Soup vs. Messy Bessy’s Little Warrior Round 1: PACKAGING *Cool Hand Soup comes in a clear pump bottle*Little Warrior comes in a spray bottle in green, pink and orange. *Both dispense product efficiently Round 2: CONSISTENCY *CHS is a runny gel-like type of sanitizer *LW is watery. Round 3: SMELL *After pumping some CHS out of the bottle, the smell may be a bit off especially if you tried LW first. But when the product has already dried on the skin, it smells like perfume. *LW smells like sweet lambanog with citrus details. Round 4: INGREDIENTS -CHS is made from natural apple fixative and Guatemalan organic sugarcane alcohol-LW is made from sugarcane alcohol, aloe vera extract, green tea essential oil Round 5: EFFECT *Both clean skin without drying. Round 6: PRICE *CHS retails at P150 for 100 ml *LW retails at P60 for 50 ml / P500 for 1 liter refill Round 7: AVAILABILITY *CHS is available online at www.leyende.multiply.com, through bazaars, resellers and through the ff branches: -27-F Burgundy Corporate Tower 252 Sen.

PLACE IN THE SUN FACE SUNBLOCK SPF30 50ML *paraben-free*recommended for: all skin types (even sensitive skin)*no white cast; no greasiness*tinosorb: effective, natural-based sunblock agent against UVA/UVB rays*vitamin c and vitamin b3*organic aloe vera infusion: soothes sun-exposed skin; humectant*virgin coconut oil: cleansing properties; high lauric acid content (skin nutrient and conditioner)*organic calendula extract: soothes sensitive skin deionized aqua, infusion of rosemary and calendula (marigold), organic shea butter, organic sweet almond oil, virgin coconut oil, tinosorb, vit. E, vit. C, vit. B3, organic calendula & aloe extract, grapeseed extract, PHP 400 / $ 15.00 Since riding the organic bandwagon, I thought it would be lovely to replace all the products my family uses with an organic counterpart and I was really really blessed to find this.The product has a watery consistency, pretty much like Celeteque’s facial moisturizer. In fact, if you’re used to applying moisturizer using your fingers, this product will run through your hands if you’re not too quick. Applied on the face, it gives a smooth and weightless matte finish. There’s a likelihood of getting white overcast if you don’t get to spread the product well. So be sure to just get a pea sized amount of sunblock and add up if necessary because it dries up quickly too.The scent may need a bit of getting used to. It smells like a non-flavored, no mint toothpaste…not that strong though.It’s water resistant to some extent.Not recommended to block UV rays when you’re out swimming, but lasts through sweat. Overall, I give this product a 5 out of 5. I love how this product measures up to some commercial sunblocks out there. And for just P400 for 50ml, it’s definitely a steal! Perfect for everyday use, with or without make up!
