All (Seed) Products Are 100% Natural & Gluten-Free
Look what came in the mail! This cute little care package from (seed).
The story behind this company is unique. As a couple Benjamin and Rebecca were trying to detox their life and household in order to safely welcome a baby into their world. After educating themselves about healthy and non-toxic everything they came up with the idea to create their own 100% natural body products that didn’t just sound good, but actually worked.
Why the name (seed)? Well, Benjamin is a wine enthusiast and knew about a lot of the health benefits associated with wine. This led them to investigate grape seed extract.
“We began working with a microbiologist in Boulder and confirmed real scientific benefits: grape seeds, like several other seeds, are intrinsically concentrated with incredible antioxidants and essential fatty acids promoting healthy skin.”
So, that’s the short story in a…seed. 
I was able to enjoy personally the grapeseed enriched and 100% natural and gluten-free:
-Body Cream with Invigorating Citrus….looove the scent and lightness. Used it as a hand cream too
-Therapeutic Hand Scrub…this was a new concept for me, but I liked it.
-Healthy Hand Cream with Relaxing Lavender.…I can never get enough hand cream or lavender!
-Moisturizing Body Soap with Invigorating citrus thyme….nice!
-Shaving Bar….I don’t have problems shaving, but this is a nice soap and concept.
-Conditioning Hair Shampoo Bar…now this was a fun concept for me, I love the idea of using this for travel. I think this would be ideal for people with thin hair that lacks body. I have a lot of hair and I thought it was fun how BIG it made my hair. Not a look I want every day, but I think someone looking for a hair lift may really enjoy this.
(seed) Body Lotion: This photo doesn’t do it justice, but it is soooo luscious and creamy!

It sounded too good to be true: they use jojoba oil
While it’s a commonly-used (because it’s cheap as far as oils go and it’s considered closest to sebum’s consistency) in beauty products, I (and many other people who have a lot of allergies and/ or skin problems) have problems with it. Good to note if you or anybody else after using these products a while have a reaction. Jojoba can do that for lots of sensitives.
Bummer! It’s always something, eh?! I use jojoba oil as eye makeup remover. No problems. Yeah, I had a friend who was really sensitive to jojoba. I’m so surprised I’m not! I have to be careful with shea on my face in any form and pure shea on my body. I can get away with soaps or creams for my body with a little shea in them. Or pure shea on my hands in the Winter. Isn’t that strange?
I’ll keep a lookout for jojoba free products for you!
Thanks! I do fine with shea — it’s so weird the stuff that’s okay or not.
I’m Celiac but also have allergies to a bunch of stuff (deathly allergic to agave and that was never an issue in the Midwest til about a year ago–everybody is using it now and unfortunately, it falls under the “natural sweetener” umbrella, so I can’t have anything that says THAT; may not be agave but in one case, I poisoned myself — boo!).
Wow! I’ve never heard of an agave allergy before! What happens? Can you drink tequila?
Thanks so much for sharing (seed) with your readers. To clarify, jojoba seed oil is only in our (seed) hand creams, not the other products, but it is actually a rather precious oil — much more expensive than other seed based oils. We use it because it is a natural water repellant, and holds up to frequent hand washing. Thanks for all your comments — we love to hear them when we are developing products!
Wow, what a lovely product! I think I should check the content of this product. But I hope I can use this one especially it contains grape seed!Thanks for sharing this!
