I don’t need to say that travel has been a challenge for the past few years. Things are starting to move again and countries are starting to open up to tourists again, which I think we can all admit is exciting after such a rough time for the industry recently. Australia has been incredibly strict with their entry requirements and, even though these are starting to ease, it will still feel too early for some to travel, so why not bring the scent of Australian Buddah Wood into your bathroom with Nereus haircare.
You may recognise Nereus London from their appearance on Dragon’s Den! They create all natural, sustainable beauty products and there is no plastic whatsoever in their supply chain, which is a feat I never imagined would be possible. The bottles are made from BPA free aluminium and the label on the front is made from wood pulp. They have genuinely covered every base to ensure they are fully sustainable.
Nereus London kindly sent me their shampoo and conditioner to try in their Australian Buddah Wood fragrance. The scent is fresh, almost mountain fresh, yet with touches of smoke and rose inspired by the Australian Outback. The sleek black and rose gold packaging really stands out when on display and they’re easy to open when you have wet hands. When I first saw the packaging I thought this would be an issue, and you know I would totally forget to open them before I get in the shower!
Because the bottles are hard, it can be a little tough to get the very last bit out of the bottle, but the shampoo is super runny so it was only really an issue with the conditioner. I thought, with it being so runny and containing no SLS, parabens or sulfates, that it would have minimum lather but that definitely isn’t the case. A little goes a long way and there is a lovely rich lather to really work into the hair for a luxurious clean.
The naturally active ingredients within the products have excellent hair boosting qualities, meaning you’re not only doing your bit for the environment but also your hair. Sea kelp to nourish and moisturise hair, pomegranate to strengthen and exfoliate the scalp and bergamot oil to stimulate hair growth, to name just a few.
Nereus London recommend you use the shampoo and conditioner for 20 washes to see a result but I could definitely see a difference in my hair before that. I’m not sure if that is because my hair was already fairly dry and frizzy but these products helped to nourish and hydrate my hair whilst leaving it light. So many hydrating haircare systems can make the hair feel weighed down, but not Nereus London.
The scent is intoxicating and remains in my bathroom well after my shower. I can also smell it on my hair for the rest of the day, which is so nice for that ‘just washed’ feeling. I plan on visiting Australia in the not too distant future, here’s hoping my new bathroom routine has got me in the Oz spirit.
You can buy the Nereus London shampoo and conditioner set from the Nereus London website. It usually retails at £45 but is currently on offer for £32.50. It seems expensive but when you consider brands with similar ingredients are double that, I think it is worth the investment with the additional benefit of the sustainability benefits.
