The masks in this four-pack come out to less than $5 each, and, according to reviewers, they’re incredibly effective.

With this rice water mist, it is a true mist that moisturizes my hair and refreshes my curls. No water needed and no more curl product needed. The scent is perfumey which some people complain about, but the scent dissipates (goes away) after a couple of minutes. Love it.”

No matter what your hair type, this creamy leave-in conditioner can help to detangle, moisturize, and eliminate unwanted frizz. Nourishing ingredients like aloe vera and vitamin E are behind the leave-in’s myriad benefits, and it won’t weigh your hair down thanks to the ultra-fine mist that disperses the product. The list of ingredients that it leaves out is also quite impressive, as in addition to being cruelty-free and vegan, the leave-in conditioner is free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, gluten, and nut-derived ingredients.

Relevant review: “Over the past 15+ years I have tried hundred of products for my hair. And I mean HUNDREDS. This one was a little pricier then I would like it to be, but I swear to you it is the only thing that has worked. I absolutely love it - its an everything in one. It detangles, smooths, and makes my hair feel healthy. It even works well on my extensions. I will ONLY use this product from now on!”

Don’t let the pink color of this face cream fool you. Amazon reviewers assure that it doesn’t leave even a trace of a tint on their skin, and it certainly doesn’t interfere with the results. Soothing and hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol help promote plumper, smoother skin, while a blend of peptides work to encourage collagen and elastin production for improved firmness with continued use.

Relevant review: “This is by far the most effective moisturizer I have used, better than products costing much much more than the price you will find on Amazon. The product comes in an airless pump so it is always fresh and clean, no dipping your fingers into a pot. Been using Tree of Life for about a year and a half, and I caught up with an old friend last week and she remarked on how smooth my skin looked! You can't go wrong with this moisturizer or with any Tree of Life products.”
