The Detox Box May 2020 Review
1 of 4
With this month's Detox Box, I received two info cards. One that details all of the sustainable items in the box and another that gives an overview of One Love Organics and a short Q+A with the founder.

Botanical A Facial Cleanser, 4 oz. - Retail Value $39.00
I can't explain why, but I love getting cleansers in subscription boxes. I am some sort of cleansing fiend? This cleansing gel contains botanical vitamin A as well as AHAs + BHAs that scrub and penetrate the skin to cleanse. This one would best be used as a second cleansing step in your skin routine since it chemically exfoliates. It has a fresh grapefruit scent that I really like and is super duper gentle. Just a pump or two into my hands and then applied to a moist face will get a soft lather going. When rinsed away, my face feels clean and new!

Botanical B Enzyme Cleansing Oil + Makeup Remover, 4 oz. - Retail Value $42.00
A second cleanser! What? Yes- this one is an oil though which is great for removing makeup as a first cleanse. This cleanser should be used on a dry face and will melt anything tough (like waterproof liner, mascara, or lip stain) off without drying out the skin. The oil formula is made with botanical vitamin B along with papaya and pumpkin seed oil. I love that this one also has a pump but I have to admit that I for some reason really dislike the papaya scent. It's quite strong and reminds me of a tropical daiquiri but perhaps I had a bad run-in in my past that this calls up subconscious negative memories. Haha, I don't know. It works really well and I wish I could handle the scent, but I'll be passing it to a papaya-loving pal.

Vitamin C Facial Serum, 1 oz. - Retail Value $75.00
When I first saw this product I thought "What more can I say about serums?" I can get serum fatigue, everyone. But then I tried this botanical vitamin C packed formula and something about it gave me pause. "Oh!" I thought to myself, "This one feels... different. Unique!" It's an oil-based serum but is incredibly lightweight when applied. One single pump is by far enough for my entire face and decollete, so this 1-ounce bottle will last me quite a while. Once on my face, I'm met with a romantic rose scent that I've come to love from the rosehip oil included in the recipe. Seabuckthorn berries extract, green tea seed oil, rosemary leaf extract, and sunflower seed oil all help create a delightful blend to make this a fantastic facial serum for summer.
Verdict: This month's Detox Box was a delight. Even though I wasn't a fan of the papaya scented oil cleanser, the gel cleanser and serum both made my heart flutter and delivered on a wonderful experience. This trio makes for a great 3-step routine for those who don't know where to start with a skincare regimen. I love the glass bottles and the pumps which may seem trivial but can really elevate a brand. These three products have a combined retail value of $156, almost three times the cost of the box.
