Review: Basa Body Products

I had the privilege of reviewing some Basa Body Products originated from the coast of Kenya. What I love most about these products, not only did they feel good when I used the Natural Coconut Oil Lotion, Basa Body Stick and the Mint Truffle Soap, they are made up organic virgin coconut oil, meaning there aren't unnecessary chemicals that are harsh to your skin.

The Natural Coconut Oil (100%) Lotion soothes the skin once it is applied. I felt the lotion absorbed into my skin. It also smells great. Not only to smooth skin, the Natural Coconut Oil fights aging with natural antioxidants.

Basa Body Stick is more of a balm instead of a lotion -- not for the lips, but for elbows, knuckles and hands. I tested it by rubbing some on my hands. I felt as if they were being massaged by the Basa Body Stick. My hands felt relaxed and soothed.

Imagine my surprise when I smelled a scent of chocolate as I opened the Basa Body products. What I saw was a Mint Truffle Soap! Being a chocoholic, I thought this was one of the most unique products I have ever seen. Not only does the soap moisturize the skin, your senses get stimulated. Very refreshing.
