As lifestyle editors, we here at UPTOWN have access to many brands, but rarely do we fall hard for a brand the way we’ve fallen for Oyin Handmade.
Although this emerging brand encourages customers to nourish and love their curls, Oyin is much more than a natural hair care line. It is a great go-to brand for health-conscious individuals because the line of products nourish and treat the body from head to toe. Plus, there are no nasty ingredients, like mineral oil, silicones, parabens, petroleum, irritating agents, or harsh and wasteful fillers. Oyin Handmade multipurpose products are made by hand and shipped fresh.
And now, getting your hands on Oyin Handmade products has gotten easier, as select Target stores and Target.com have begun selling the line this month. “Target has done so much to advance the market for high quality products for hair of all textures and we are thrilled to be among its offerings for spring 2014,” said Oyin Handmade co-founder Jamyla Bennu, in a press release. “For more than 10 years now, customers have been falling in love with our goodies, ordering them online and having us to ship them fresh to their homes. We look forward to a whole new generation of customers finding and falling in love with our products, as well as offering our existing Oyin Honeys the convenience of purchasing their favorite products at their local Target store!”
So now that you know where to purchase Oyin Handmade, what products should you add to your shopping list? Keep clicking for reviews of our favorite Oyin Handmade products!
Greg Juice Nourishing Herbal Leave-In, $13.99
This leave-in tonic has the scent of citrus and lavender essential oils and is the perfect refresher to use before moisturizing your hair with a leave-in conditioner or oil, like coconut or avocado. This product is also available in scents of frankincense and fruit punch in Frank Juice and Juices & Berries, respectively.
After the winter most of the country has experienced, our skin needs some TLC. Whipped Pudding is the perfect remedy because it’s a head-to-toe moisturizer that contains shea butter and aloe, but isn’t greasy. Use this on your hair all the way down to your dry, cracked heels.
No one has time to re-wash their hair every time it needs to be re-styled. Creamy Hair Dew eliminates that issue because it adds hydration with aloe and refreshes hair with castor, coconut, and olive oils.
After Bath – Blended Body Oil, $11.99
Although this product isn’t available at Target, you should definitely order it from OyinHandmade.com. If your skin is anything like mine, then you have to employ a two-prong approach to fighting ashy skin. Spread After Bath on after you shower and bathe, and then seal in the moisture with your favorite lotion or cream. The subtle scent of the Rich Almond flavor is divine and will help you wake completely.
