Nolaskinsentials Review

I remember seeing people rant and rave about Nolaskinsentials back on X (formerly and still known as Twitter) in 2017/2018. I’m on the late train, but I had to jump on it regardless. I don’t usually go for social media hype, but the hype is real when it comes to Nolaskinsentials. 

Nolaskinsentials is a black owned, woman owned vegan skincare company ran by Jane Ormon. It was started in 2017 due to Ormon having a hard time finding suitable products for her darker complexion. Nolaskinsentials is cruelty free and handcrafted created with real, natural ingredients, which is why I wanted to check it out. 

Here are the products I purchased from them to review:

Papaya Burst Cleanser 

Let’s Get Intimate Bikini Scrub

Pumpkin & Vanilla Bean Face Exfoliant 

Passion Fruit Hyperpigmentation Soap 

Here’s my take on each product after using them all for a few months: 

Papaya Burst Cleanser 

I wanted to use the Papaya Burst Cleanser as an addition to my skincare regimen after reading a suggestion to use two cleansers for your face. I already use black soap and sometimes charcoal soap, so I chose the papaya soap for deep cleansing. 

This soap is helpful for acne prone skin and dark spots. While I don’t have dark spots anymore, as someone with acne prone skin I found this cleanser extremely helpful to my regimen. I have no issues with this cleanser, it goes a long way and keeps my skin glowing.

Let’s Get Intimate Bikini Scrub

I started getting Brazilian waxes over the pandemic shut down. One thing that was stressed to sustain healthy skin was to regularly exfoliate the intimate area. This is why I purchased the Let’s Get Intimate Bikini Scrub. I used this scrub before and after waxes. It’s a Himalayan salt base and is useful for ingrown hairs and razor bumps. 

This is a pretty solid scrub. As someone who exfoliates weekly, I wish it would come in a larger container (the size is 8oz). Otherwise this was a nice scrub and it did prevent ingrowns.

Pumpkin & Vanilla Bean Face Exfoliant 

This scrub is $20 for a 4oz container but is some of the best exfoliant I’ve ever used, hands down. Besides the amazing vanilla scent, this scrub is amazing on my face. I exfoliate once a week, both face and body. This scrub has a sugar base and is for acne prone and textured skin. 

What I love most is the how smooth and soft it is to the skin while using. I wouldn’t expect a vanilla scented scrub to be compatible with acne prone skin, but it’s that amazing and left my skin smooth and glowing. Because it’s only used on the face, it lasts a very long time too.

Passion Fruit Hyperpigmentation Soap 

We all have pesky scars and hyperpigmentation we want to get rid of. I got the Passion Fruit Hyperpigmentation Soap with hope of lightening some scars on my legs although many use it for their faces as it’s recommended for acne prone skin and scarring. 

My fairest review on this is that I haven’t been using the soap long enough to really see a change on any leg scars and I may need to use a stronger cream to get rid of them instead. All in all, it’s a quality soap, but I personally would suggest it be used on the face instead of the body based off of my review for body usage after a few months.

That’s my take on Nolaskinsentials products. I absolutely adore the Papaya Burst Cleanser and the Vanilla & Bean Exfoliant the most. I’m super excited to try more products from this company. Highly recommended and worth a try!
