I’m into yuzu these days. To be honest I have no real knowledge on what is yuzu. All I know is they looked like a hybrid between an orange and a lemon lol . But one thing I can assure you is that yuzu smells amazing. I first fell in love with yuzu scent when I bought a pack of yuzu scented steam eye mask from Singapore last year. That changes everything as anything with yuzu is either expensive or hard to get. However that’s not just the only scent from ShiKai. I mentioned a week or two ago that TNS Skin Lab recently added the brand ShiKai into their array of natural personal care selection. You know what’s better other than ShiKai is all natural? It is Made in the USA and are not tested on animals ❤️

Moisturizing Shower Gel (RM69 / 355ml, RM14 / 60ml)

Yuzu scented shower gel? How exciting! If you think this is just another shower gel, think again. These gel actually contain maximum amount of powdered oatmeal and aloe vera gel to moisturize and relieve dry, itchy skin, and also for a smoother, softer skin. Most shower gel do, I get it. After trying the shower gel for a few weeks, I must say they are not joking. Despite being a soap-free shower gel, it actually foams up more than other shower gel I know. The foams doesn’t dries up the skin but instead the skin are kept supple. It’s even better with the body lotion, which I’ll get into later.

It has a authentic yuzu scent, almost the same with my steam eye mask, for which I am quite happy with. The scent relaxes me and makes me chirpy happy during shower. It does help if yuzu if one of your favourite scent

Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion (RM66 / 238ml,  RM14 / 29ml)

This one I’m most excited about. It’s weird thinking back to 3 years ago when I am against body lotion. I learnt how to apply body lotion and that is not before bed time but as soon as you towel dry your skin after shower, while the skin is still damp. This way, the body absorb the product better leaving the skin soft and not sticky.

I am the most non-discipline one when it comes to using complementing scent or product. This time I told myself to not stray and just follow the step. It has Borage Oil to help to heal dry skin. I personally do have a dry skin and this lotion I would say is much more creamier and thicker than every other lotion I’ve used. It does leave a layer on the skin so use moderately, not generously like me lol. It also contain Shea Butter for that extra extra silky feel,  Aloe Vera and Vitamin E combined with Cocoabutter, Wheatgerm, Apricot and Safflower Oils for extra moisturization.

Scent wise, it’s different from the shower gel. The shower gel has a rather pleasant authentic yuzu scent while the Hand & Body Lotion has a more stronger yuzu scent that almost smells like it’s plasticky. Does it smells bad? No. It still smells like yuzu. But I get it why the lotion smells somewhat different and stronger. Complementing body care products especially lotion are in this way so that the scent are able to lingers on the skin longer. If you notice the last step products are always heavily scented.

As I’m writing this, my Hand & Body Lotion are 50% used up while my Shower Gel are still 80% full. How is that even possible? . Then I realized how much I’m using every night after shower. So much so that last Friday I went for a body massage and the therapist told me my skin are baby soft and that I took care of my skin very well. Now, now now. I am proud of that compliment. It means ShiKai Yuzu Moisturizing Shower Gel and Hand & Body Lotion really delivers what it promised and that is soft, smooth and moisturizing skin.

I have been using ShiKai Shower Gel and Hand & Body Lotion for the past one week, which I’ll review that on later date but now, I’m going to tell you a little bit about ShiKai products from USA, which is the latest addition to TNS’s Lab’s selection of quality natural care products

ShiKai, an American brand leader in natural body and hair care products since 1970 is know to be using natural ingredients combined with scientific knowledge to produce truly effective products that work as they claim. That is what sets them apart from every other competitor available. From the re-creation of possibly the world’s oldest shampoo (shikakai) to the cutting edge use of the omega-6 fatty acid, GLA, in its best selling Borage Therapy line. ShiKai has developed creative uses from nature for more effective natural solutions and products not found anywhere else, at affordable prices. Let’s take a look at what ShiKai has to offer.

Color Reflect Range

ShiKai Color Reflect® Range is a natural hair care line that protects and enhances the colors in your hair.

The products contain color reflective botanicals that highlight and brighten specific ranges of the color spectrum and tones that are already present in your hair but may be hidden. These botanicals add a hint of the color that you would like to amplify. These effects work equally well with natural or color treated hair. Color Reflect shampoos contains no bleaches or ammonia additives, and their effects are primarily optical in nature. The effects are subtle, but definitely noticeable.

Available in Deep, Warm and Gold, each shampoo contains different botanical extracts to reflect particular colours.

• Gold highlights golden tones in blonde and light brown hair.
• Deep highlights rich, dark tones in brunette, red, and blonde hair.
• Warm highlights red & auburn tones in red, brunette, and blonde hair.

Borage Therapy Range

ShiKai Borage Therapy lotions and creams are formulated to relieve severe dry skin conditions like eczema, dry skin due to diabetes, atopic dermatitis, children’s cradle cap and chronic dry skin that is hard to be treated.

This range is unique because it’s main ingredients is Borage Oil, a natural oil that not only restores moisture and smoothness to dry and damaged skin, but is the world’s richest source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). While GLA is created by the body, many people cannot make enough of it and this result in chronic dry skin, or in some cases, inflamed and itchy skin. Clinical studies with an 82% success rate have shown that borage oil, when applied to the skin, can have beneficial effects on these skin disorders because it can help those with dry and itchy skin conditions by providing an alternate source of GLA.

Body Care Range

ShiKai Moisturizing Shower Gels gently cleanse, provide a deliciously rich, fragrant and sensual experience in and out of the shower, and leave lasting soft and noticeably smooth skin. A potent dose of hydrating aloe-vera gel helps to rejuvenate while powdered oatmeal helps to soothe and soften the skin. These shower gels are so luxurious that you can even shave with them. ShiKai Shower Gels are SOAP-FREE and is formulated to be very mild for the most sensitive skin.

For those seeking a rich, fragrant, and moisturizing experience, ShiKai Hand & Body Lotions will leave lasting softness and noticeably smoother skin.

The lotions are packed with the highest quality aloe vera gel, apricot oil, avocado oil, safflower oil, wheat germ oil, borage oil, vitamin E, cocoa butter and shea butter. The high quality and fragrance of the lotions are immediately noticeable – they are extremely rich and thick, yet quickly absorbed and never leave your skin feeling greasy.
