It was by chance that I came across Florida’s all natural and organic skin care brand ‘LILFOX’ in a ‘We Heart’ e-newsletter I received from Annmarie Gianni. Very rarely do you read about a skin care brand owner praising another skin care brand to their followers.
I’ve been reviewing LILFOX skin care products for the past few months.
Face:
Mandarin Tinted Lip Balm & Peppermint Lip Balm: Chamomilla Infusion Makeup Remover: Cucumber + Black Seed Youthful Vixen Eye Butter: Kalahari Watermelon Eye Serum: Gem Elixir Facial Toning Mists – Anahata + Moondust.
Body:
Deep Forest Deodorant: Forest Floor Body Oil: Siberian Fur Body Oil: Orange Blossom Ylang Bang Sugar Body Polish: and Orange Blossom Ylang Bang Body Butter.
Mandarin Tinted Lip Balm & Peppermint Lip Balm
Both lip balms moisturised my lips very well. The smell and texture of LilFox Botanicals Mandarin Tinted Lip Balm is quite citrusy. I have to say the *Peppermint Lip Balm would be my favourite out of these two lip balms. I love the cooling sensation of Peppermint essential oil on my lips.
Mandarin Lip Balm INGREDIENTS—
C. nucifera (coconut) oil*
S.chinensis (jojoba) wax*
Alkanna tinctoria**Candelilla wax
Tocopherols (Vit.E/non-gmo)

C.aurantifolia (lime)*
C.paradisi (grapefruit)*

*Since trying the Peppermint Lip Balm it is no longer currently for sale. A note from Alexis: “I will bring back the peppermint lip balm in the fall but always like to keep it fresh on the site with new seasonal lip balm flavors!”
Chamomilla Infusion Cleansing Makeup Remover
This non-greasy makeup remover from Lilfox Botanicals was previously known as ‘Chamomile + Kukui Makeup Remover’.
It did not strip the natural oils from my skin and my face felt well cleansed after use. I just love the calming heavenly scent of the Chamomile.
Chamomile + Kukui Makeup Remover INGREDIENTS——
S. chinensis (jojoba) wax*
M.recutita (chamomile) buds*
L.angustifolia (lavender) buds*
B.carterii (frankincense) resin**

Cucumber + Black Seed Youthful Vixen Eye Butter
The slight grainy texture of this eye butter has a mild spicy aroma due to one of the ingredients being black cumin seed oil . Once it absorbed my skin felt soft.
I’ve used the Cucumber + Black Seed Youthful Vixen Eye Butter under my eyes but you can use it on areas of dryness such as back of hands, elbows and knees to keep them well moisturised and soft.

“The Youthful Vixen Cucumber + Black Seed eye Butter can most definitely be used on other areas that need healing with success. I also have many success stories from older women where it has significantly reduced their wrinkles, fine lines, crows feet and tightened sagging skin cells in their eye area! It really is lovely:)”
~ Alexis Rose, LilFox Botanicals
*Youthful Vixen Under Eye Roller
Since receiving and trying theYouthful Vixen Under Eye Roller, Alexis has updated the name to “Kalahari Watermelon Eye Serum” and added more argan and watermelon seed oil as the base. The rest of the formula remains the same.
The formulation is quite soothing for tired eyes and it does reduce puffiness as I found out.
Kalahari Watermelon Eye Serum INGREDIENTS——
A.spinosa (argan) kernel oil*
C.lanatus (watermelon) seed oil
C.sativus (cucumber) seed oil
P.granatum linn (pomegranate) seed oil*

R.damascena (rose) oil*
S.albumn (sandalwood) oil*
*certified organic
Gem Elixir – Facial Toning Mists- Anahata + Moondust
When I received Anahata and Moondust Toning Mists, Anahata’s ingredients were Neroli and Rose Hydrosol. Now it is with great sadness to see my favourite toning mist, Anahata, no longer containing Rose Hydrosol. These light scented facial toning mists were lovely to spritz on my face and they did well to tone my skin.
Anahata Neroli Toning Mist INGREDIENTS——
Neroli distillate*
green aventurine crystals.
*Certified organic
Moondust Lavender & Blue Chamomile Toning Mist INGREDIENTS——
L.anustifolia (lavender) distillate*
M.recutita (blue chamomile) distillate*\
Smoky quartz crystals
*Certified organic
Deep Forest Deodorant
This deodorant reminds of the smell of rainforests.
I found the paste was a little grainy in texture but once I applied it to the warmth of my armpits, it blended in quite well.
I asked Alexis if this deodorant could be applied to the soles of my feet to combat foot odour. She said that I could give it a try.
After cleansing my feet I rubbed some of the deodorant onto the soles of my feet. I was pleasantly surprised to find that after a few hours my feet were odour-free and no sign of sweat. I will continue to use the Deep Forest Deodorant on my feet to deodorise them.
Deep Forest Deodorant INGREDIENTS——
C.nucifera (coconut) oil*
S.bicarbonate (naturally procured/alum.free)
M.arudinacea (arrowroot)*
French montmorillonite clay
M.ternifolia (macadamia nut) oil*
Tocopherols (Vit.E/non-gmo)
P.cablin (patchouli)*
J.virginiana (cedarwood)***
M.alternifolia (tee tree)*
Candelilla wax
B.carterii (frankincense)**
*certified organic **wildcrafted ***unsprayed
“For years I had insanely sensitive skin on my under arms from commercial shave creams and antiperspirants. Once I stopped using these products my skin regained a healthy balance and did not cause my any discomfort.”
~ Alexis Rose, LILFOX
Since my first chat with Alexis she has improved the formula of her Deep Forest Deodorant Paste to include Candelilla wax to make it more solid.
Forest Floor Body Oil & Siberian Fur Body Oil
I found the grounding woodsy scented Forest Floor Body Oil moisturised my skin well but the aroma was too strong for my liking. I felt most men would be drawn to it.
Since receiving and trying the Forest Floor Body Oil body oil Alexis has updated the formula to include pure vanilla essential oil. I feel this new formula may not be as strongly scented which would suit both sexes who are not too keen on rich earthy scents.
Forest Floor Body Oil INGREDIENTS——
M.ternifolia (macadamia nut) oil*
S.chinensis (jojoba) wax* + V.planifolia (vanilla)*
P.americana (avocado )oil*
H.rhamnoides (sea buckthorn seed + berry) oil*
V.zizaniodes (vetiver) oil*
E.caryophyllata (clove bud) oil*/***
H.aromatica (ghandi root) oil**
V. planifolia (vanilla)*
*certified organic **wildcrafted ***fairtrade
My favourite of the two body oils, Siberian Fur Body Oil, is refreshing with a hint of fresh pine and lavender. It absorbed well into my skin.
Siberian Fur Body Oil INGREDIENTS—-
M.ternifolia (macadamia nut) oil*
S.chinensis (jojoba) wax*
P.americana (avocado )oil*
H.rhamnoides (sea buckthorn seed + berry) oil*

L.angustifolia (lavender) oil*
P.strobus (white pine) oil*
P.resinosa (Norway pine) oil*
*certified organic **unsprayed
Orange Blossom Ylang Bang Sugar Body Polish & Orange Blossom Ylang Bang Body Butter
I can see why this is one of Alexis’ favourites. After removing the dead skin cells from my skin with LilFox Orange Blossom Ylang Bang Sugar Body Polish, my skin felt smooth and soft.
The lovely earthy scent lingered for a little while after use. This is one body polish that I would definitely recommend for you to try.
Orange Blossom Ylang Bang Sugar Body Polish INGREDIENTS——
Sucrose (sugar) crystals*
C.nucifera (coconut) oil*
M.ternifolia (macadamia nut)*
S.chinensis (jojoba)*

C.sinensis (orange)*
C.oderata (ylang ylang)*
C.bergamia (bergamont/bf)*
C. flexuosus (lemongrass)*
*certified organic **unsprayed
Orange Blossom Ylang Bang Body Butter is a little thicker in consistency to what I am used to as body butters go. However, it nourished my skin well and I just love its earthy aroma.
Orange Blossom Ylang Bang Body Butter INGREDIENTS——
