Koru Naturals Schoolhouse Crew Review
March 01, 2015
I
am always looking for good quality products for my family. Koru Naturals offers
many amazing products. It was extremely difficult to choose which one for my
family. Literally, every product my family could use. All the Schoolhouse Crew
received a 2 oz bottle of Emu Oil for $9.95 and then the hard part was choosing. I
decided to try the 8 oz Manuka Oil and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner for $14.95.
Are you wondering what is Emu Oil and how is it used?
Emu
is a flightless bird much like the ostrich. The Emu is native to Australia. The
oil is basically the fat that is taken from this bird. Koru Naturals Emu Oil is
fully refined and is an all-natural ingredient. All the vitamins, minerals,
essential fatty acids of Omega 3 and 6 are not deleted during the clarification
process on Koru Naturals Emu Oil.
Emu
oil doesn’t have a strong smell just a fragrance that is very vague. The
texture is very soft and when applied to the skin it feels a bit oily at first touch but, it
penetrates into the skin quickly and doesn’t leave an oily feel on the skin. The
nice thing is that Emu Oil is hypoallergenic and will not clog your pores. It’s
great for sensitive skin also. The color is a clear slightly milky white color.
Emu
oil is used externally and is most often used for a moisturizer. As a
moisturizer it can be used on both the skin and in the hair. You need very
little Emu oil for effective use. When I say very little a few drops or a teaspoon
is recommended. Some have used Emu Oil in the hair for dandruff on the scalp
and as a hair moisturizer. It is also been used as a burn treatment, and to
reduce inflammation.
The
inflammation factor is what has made me interested in Emu Oil. A few years ago I did some research on Emu Oil.
You see my 12 year old daughter was diagnosed with arthritis several years ago.
The medication that is used for arthritis is just horrible on the body. Not to
go into many details but, I wanted to treat my daughter with a non-steroid medication
at first knowing that down the road we would need to go up to the next class of
medication. I wanted to hold off as long as possible. With her being so young
she has a life time of using medication and her body will adapt to them and we
run into the medication not being so effective. My goal was to find an alternative
to help with what she is taking. I never got around to trying Emu Oil as I
couldn’t find it locally.
Her fingers are so swollen that you can never see her knuckles.
I
used Koru Naturals Emu Oil on my daughter hands and her joints. I put it on
daily during this review period. Due to my daughter’s other disability she doesn’t
express pain openly. It’s more of a drop and flop with behavioral issues. I
usually notice her pain issues with how she is moving and acting.
We
had a rough start with the Emu Oil due to her having a hospitalization,
extremely cold weather, and a severe case of the flu. I have seen her more
willing to write without having severe pain. Her walking doesn’t look so stiff.
At this point I feel comfortable to keep using Emu Oil for her arthritis.
As a
beekeeper I am familiar with Manuka plant as I have tasted the honey from the
Manuka plant. I was excited to use Manuka Oil and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner.
Manuka is a very versatile plant that is used in varies health conditions. One
of those benefits is for the skin.
The Manuka Oil and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner have an impressive list of ingredients.
Some of the ingredients are manuka oil, manuka honey, lavender, peppermint, and
rose hips. That is just the short list of what caught my attention. The smell
is a nice peppermint smell that is so refreshing. The consistency is thicker
than hair care products I have used in the pass.
Everyone
in my family used Manuka Oil and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner with my daughter
using it not as much as the others.
The
hard part is getting them to use a small amount. The nice thing about a quality
hair product is that not much is needed for the full benefits. I noticed that
you don’t get the full lather as other products that I have previously used. I have
learned that it isn’t a bad thing due to the fact that it doesn’t use any
chemicals that give it a full lather. I was thinking that we would go through
the product quickly with a family of four. I am surprised that after 6 weeks I
have over a half of a bottle left on both products. I am impressed.
What
are my thoughts on the Manuka Oil and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner?
I
have extremely dry hair due to the fact that I have colored my hair for more
years than I would like to admit. I am not ready to show my age with a head of
gray hair. Needles, to say my hair is pretty damaged. On top of the hair
color I use gel and hairspray.
My hair feels soft and healthy after 6 weeks of feeling pampered. I enjoyed the
smell and the tingly feeling after every wash. I didn’t have to use the shampoo
baking soda mixture on my hair once a week to strip the junk I use in my hair. It removed
the residue on my hair with only one wash every day.
My
husband has dandruff. He has been using name brand dandruff shampoo for years. He
still scratches his head often after all the years using a product that was supposed
to stop it. After a few days I noticed that he stopped scratching his head. He was pleased with the results.
My 9
year old son surprising doesn’t have a dry scalp despite his extreme dry skin.
His hair was so soft and looked healthy. When I asked him what he thought he told me that, "he wasn’t fond of the
smell". I didn’t expect he would be as a boy.
My
daughter had a hard time with the smell. With her extreme sensory issues it
caused her to have a meltdown. The smell isn’t strong but, for a child that is
overly sensitive to smell it overwhelmed her. I was able to talk her into using
it a dozen or more times. My daughter has extremely thin hair with beautiful
curls. I loved how her curls just came out when I used the shampoo and
conditioner with her.
I
also found out that using the Manuka Oil and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner
after having an EKG to remove the gel was amazing and I only had to use it one
time. I was really impressed! It stripped the gel right out of her hair in one
wash! I didn’t get any pictures as it was a long sleep deprived night and the
last thing on my mind was taking pictures.
Usually,
I have to shampoo and wash several times. Comb through her with olive oil. Then
I wash her hair with adding baking soda in the shampoo. Next, I let the
conditioner set in her hair for 30 minutes. After that I shampoo again. It
takes a massive amount of time when we are sleep deprived and just want to lay
down and take a nap. For just one wash I was completely astonished at the results.
Koru Naturals has many other products that I plan on exploring in the near future.
Others in the Schoolhouse Crew review tried different products so make sure you
stop by their blogs and find out more.
