Review of Pacifica's Solid Perfume by a beauty and natural product lover. Includes novel uses for the solid perfume, overall experience with it and a list of the ingredients and special qualities of it.
This Handy Little Tin of Fragrant Wax Can Also Be Used as a Cuticle or Elbow Balm!
The pretty vintage inspired tin caught my bye but the pleasing fragrances and moisturizing texture of Pacifica's Solid Perfume sold me. I've seen Pacifica's candles and admired their pleasant natural scents before, but as the "mom" of a clumsy geriatric cat who once caught her tail on fire, I don't burn candles in my home anymore (thankfully I noticed immediately and she only suffered a couple of singed hairs). Given that I wanted to try the Pacifica line but can't burn candles, I thought that this $9 little extravagance would be a nice introduction. It was a bonus to note that the product is 100% vegan, paraben, gluten and artificial color free, and not tested on animals (I'll list the ingredients at the end of the review).
After smelling the various testers I settled on the "Lotus Garden" fragrance. It's different from my other (many!) perfumes and reminds me of a moonlight walk through a fragrant garden. Using it as a solid perfume, I applied it to my pulse points and was rewarded with pleasant glimpses of the fragrance throughout the day.
A few days later I decided it to try it as a cuticle balm and that has turned into my main use for it. A little really does go a long way; I use about the size of a quarter of a pea to do the cuticles of both of my hands. When I realized how nicely that was working I decided to try it on my elbows. I have very stubborn elbows that are often red and dry. When I remember to dab some of this product on regularly, my elbows return to a nice skin color and all the dryness disappears.
Of course, once I'd fallen in love with the product I had to try some more of their fragrances. I've now acquired the French Lilac, Bali Lime Papaya, Malibu Lemon Blossom, and Waikiki Pikake versions of this product. The Pacifica solid perfume product line has 21 different fragrances that their website separates into the following categories: "floral, fruit, herbal & spice, and wood fragrances and perfumes".
If you're looking for a bargain, the South Pacific Solid Perfume Trio sells for $18 (it's like buying two and getting one free, which is great if you like all three fragrances).
Bottom line: I would definitely recommend this as a solid perfume, cuticle balm or elbow salve.
Here are the ingredients: Organic coconut wax, organic soy wax, non- GMO hydrogenated soy wax, Pacifica's own fragrance blend with natural and essential oils.
