OMG... I like!!!! ...The team really liked the products, loves the packaging... I am taking the Peppermint Dark Chocolate Body Scrub home. I hope no one else wants it! ...I'm so excited about this!
-Essence Magazine

I’m using the products and loving the body wash with it’s chocolate smell and it seems to get me squeaky clean! The moisturiser is great too, good and thick (the smell is warmer and spicier) and after I’ve left the bathroom – there’s great scent in the air. Ummm!
-Black Beauty & Hair Magazine

I actually *bought* the Warrior Queen Cleanser this evening. Yes, I admit it. I'm a warrior queen.
-Lawrence, Body Care Buyer -Whole Foods Market

Warrior Queen Cleanser is not your typical foaming bath product. It comes out of the bottle slow like honey, and it's thick and rich and feels great going on the skin. The chocolate/mint combination is yummy and additional skin loving ingredients like coconut milk and soy protein leave skin feeling great. The mint makes it stimulating while the chocolate makes it comforting -- a nice combination for anytime but I especially like it in the morning.

Thick and rich, this cleanser is like putting something the texture of thick yet pourable honey or molasses on the skin. It foams up well and offers a really unique chocolate/mint aroma to awaken me without assaulting my senses.
-Review by Donna Maria -Indie Beauty Network

Winter is the perfect time for rich moisturizers to sooth your dry skin. Inky Loves Nature's Magical Melanin Moisturizer is all Vegan and all natural. It is scented with ginger and sweet coconut, and also contains Buchu leaves, Soy protein and Maple extract, along with vitamins A and E. This hand and body lotion is super rich and creamy, soaked right into my skin and didn't leave a trace of greasiness.
-Review by Celena -Cybelesays.com

I like it! I like the tingly sensation. But it's not too tingly. We really like Nappaliscious Nutritious.
-Michelle Breyer and Gretchen Heber -NaturallyCurly.com

Inky Loves Nature: Warrior Queen Cleanser! First thing, the aroma is absolutely terrific, I experienced the Peppermint Dark Chocolate and it was DIVINE. It is just like described, thick and rich and good for cleansing hair and body.
-Greengals.com

My samples of Inky Loves Nature hair and body products have just arrived in the mail and I am beside myself with glee. All the stuff smells so yummy! The fragrance of the Self Love Body Scrub in peppermint/chocolate is reminiscent of cocoa on Christmas morning. The Warrior Queen Cleanser in Ginger Sweet Coconut smells so delicious that I had to fight the reflex to lick the sweet bit of it that dripped onto my fingers when I was smelling it. The Nappaliscious Nutritious Scalp Butter has a potent scent that doesn't remind me of anything I've ever eaten before but is still very compelling.

I was thrilled to discover that not only are all of the products handmade by the super friendly vegan Leesah B., but they're made with fair trade and at least 70% organic ingredients too. More good news is that the stuff is now available at select Whole Foods Markets, so you don't even have to wait for it to be delivered to you!

This package has brightened an otherwise terrible day and I'm super excited to try everything out.

Hello! I love your products! I just got the peppermint moisturizer and Nappaliscous Nutritious at Whole Foods, and LOVE them! I love the vibe and energy in your products. I think Inky's products are what I like to tell people about ....loving nature and bringing people back to wholeness within it...cool! I love the butter and put just a little around the edges of my scalp ..smells great! I'm going to Whole Foods this weekend to buy the cleanser and body salts. Yum! I especially LOVE that chocolate mousse cream! Smells like dessert at bedtime...ha ha. Thanks a lot.
-Kokila, Long Island, NY -Avalon-isle-music.com

Love your moisturizer! I am addicted to trying out new indie, herbal brands, especially body creams and scrubs, and have tried my share of products. Your Magical Melanin wins hands down. My skin is always satin smoonth after I've used it. It's so thick that I have problems squeezing it out of the bottle. Any chance you'll offer this in a tub rather than bottle? If so, I'll be sure to purchase it again!
-Karlyn, NYC

Just letting you know that the warrior queen cleanser is seriously off the hook. For the last 2 weeks I have been using it on my face, and it did the impossible: all the dark spots/splotches that I've been plagued with for months are gone! 2 weeks! This cleanser is insane! I've tried everything including ultra expensive department store brands and nothing worked until I got the warrior queen cleanser. Girl, you have a customer for life!
-Tania

My little princess likes the Warrior Queen Cleanser sooo much, over the weekend she got hold of the Peppermint Flavor Warrior Cleanser and washed "all of her baby dolls" with it! By the time I found out what she had done, she had used most of the cleanser. She explained to Iya she used it "because she wanted her dolls to smell sweet like her and I," I had to laugh, seen!

I explained to her that the Cleanser was not for the doll babies but a special treat for her and I. She went straight to her little piggy bank and gave me enough to purchase another bottle of the Warrior Queen Peppermint Chocolate Cleanser! One Love Sista!

Follow up - Just writing to big up your Warrior Queen Cleanser my dear!!! Love it on the locks and feels IRIE when I wash with it on the body. Hope it comes back in stock real soon.... Bless UP!!

Follow up - Bless Inky, love your Nappaliscious Scalp Butter on Iya loc's!! Would have ordered the sample pack - but, next time since it's out of stock! Look forward to using the cleanser when it reaches Iya! Keep on reaching for the sky sista with de wicked natural products, SEEN!!! One Love!!!

Greetings Sista, Thank you so much for the lovely products! I am happy that your products are now in Whole Food Stores.

I am a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, Professional Aroma therapist, Ayurvedic Practitioner, Reiki Master and La/Stone Therapist. Your products work well with what I do. Thank you sista! Keep up with the good work. I have already tried the Nappaliscious Nutritious Scalp Butter and like the herbal smell of the product!

-Sista Vickie, Jamaica

I got my moisturizer and cleanser the other day; and it's just like your mom says, “When you know, you'll know". I am in love! I feel marvelously luxurious with this stuff on my skin, and I smell like candy. Thank you for products that safe, ethical, and wonderful.
-Ardia, Chicago, IL

The point of this email is to say WOW. I have to stop myself from trying to eat the body lotion or shampoo because it smells so much like Chocolate Mint. And it's so thick and creamy. It's so wonderfully indulgent. And it's Vegan too!!! I love it, I love that you're making a difference and that your making this product, love it. I wanted to thank you for your product and give you much respect for your conviction and willingness to go out ther and DO something. I will definately suggest your products to my other friends.
-Efuwa, Cananda

The Dark Chocolate Peppermint lotion has got the Hip Hop music industry going NUTS. I work with a producer/DJ and a few other artists, and when he smelled me putting on that lotion he damn near lost his mind! LOL I've had people stop me on the street and ask me what my scent is. In terms of fragrance and moisturizing properties, it's the best i have used in my life!. I've used the lotion every day and it's almost gone!
-Miranda Jane - Former editor of The Source, Complex, and STRESS Magazines, Burbank, CA

Magical Melanin Moisturizer; This moisturizer is great! It's thick and concentrated, but not greasy. It's just right for my skin. I had to buy it. It's vegan and for African American skin. Hours later my skin is still lubricated. The service is wonderful. She has a lifer.

Warrior Queen Cleanser; I used this to wash my hair. It was moisturizing and conditioning at the same time. The ginger was stimulating and the oils used left my dreads soft. Love it. Believe me you are getting quality. Great customer service and wonderful handmade products. I've tried many natural, vegan products and this one seems to be the only one that gets it right. The cleanser is not oily or drying. Good stuff. Worth every cent.

Nappaliscious Nutritious; Having dreads keeps me from having the daily stimulation of combing hair. I wanted something that was natural, without petroleum to stimulate my scalp. When I opened my scalp butter I was unprepared for how much was in the container. It's going to last me foreva. It smells nice too. A little does go a long way. The first time I applied it I was prepared for tingling, but not for the warm massage sensation. It was exactly what I was looking for. Natural, vegan products for African American care is something hard to find. Most vegan products out there is either too oily, too drying and not for the balance of AA hair. This fits the bill. Good customer service and products. I'm addicted to this butter.
-Danielle, Dallas, TX

You have some fantastic flavors/smells. We both tried your product and they ere AWESOME!! (we are on the lighter side of soul sisters and we are excited to have found you!) Thanks for the opportunity to spread your product, your message and our message!
-Suzanne Huber, EarthSmart

I posted this thread because I came across two hair products that are the TRUTH (good for the hair). They are by a company called Inky loves nature ... their web site: Inkylovesnature.com anyway the two products I purchased were the nappaliscious nutritious scalp butter and the warrior queen Cleanser in chocolate mint and they are lovely and all natural.

... It's all organic products... Now have you notice that the ingredients listed are things we discuss as vital ingredients in hair growth? (Nodding head yes) well I can say that the scalp butter is the bomb it tingles like cayenne pepper but not as bad and it works.

Now to the Cleanser : IT HAS NO DETERGENT AT ALL !!! PARABEN AND FORMALDEHYDE FREE !!! that says enough but it also is all natural and smell so good you want to eat it!!!

I have fallen in Love and I am supporting a sista so i am happy!
- Aaliyah, Chicago

Well, I finally got my products and they are GREAT! Worth every penny as a matter of fact. I was so happy when I got them, I tried them that night! My scalp tingled all over.

Review - I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I washed my hair with the Warrior Queen Shampoo and LAWDHAMMERCY......the scent of the shampoo sent me on a journey (I got the chocolate mint fragrance), I felt a tingly cool sensation, my hair smelled like a peppermint patty. Then the consistency of the shampoo was like a thick chocolate CAKE mix, as matter of fact it looked like chocolate cake mix! YUMMY! The lather was perfect ...I'm telling you.....what an experience! Anyway I followed up the shampoo with my herbal conditioner and that was all she wrote...

Ok so then I tried the moisturizer (which also was chocolate mint fragrance)...and it was the STUFF! It was thick and fully loaded with goodies. It felt and looked like whipped pudding! I applied it to my hair while it was wet and I noticed my natural coils pop ....I thought that was pretty interesting....and cool!

After that I tried the scalp butter...it was pretty good.... I don't know if I felt any tingle from it in particular because my entire head was already stimulated after using Inky's shampoo and moisturizer. But I will tell you that it feels like some serious stuff ....I think it will be a great product. Especially for stimulating the scalp. It is also LOADED with MANY of the things we talk about that stimulate growth. So if you're balding on the edges it could work for you. I couldn't grease my entire scalp with it though; because I could barley get to my scalp (I had placed my hair in twist after the moisturizer treatment).

TODAY.... my hair feels like fluffy/dense cotton candy, which is usually what my hair feels like BUT today its even more soft and spongy. I'm wearing it in an almost full fro (kinda picked out kinda not). IT SMELLS GREAT....Like I said before just like a peppermint patty.

I WILL BE ORDERING MORE PRODUCTS FROM INKY IN THE FUTURE (THIS FRIDAY). Why???? Because you get everything that she says you will get in her products ....Nothing BUT Quality. I could tell I was dealing with quality as soon as I opened the shampoo bottle. Her products look like they were made with care and Love.... It looks like she took her time with them specifically attempting to make EVERY customer feel special. The stuff is expensive...but considering all of the goodies in EVERY product I tried thus far...ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY! There is NOTHING that I have tried in (OTHER COMPANY) line that has even come REMOTELY close to what "INKY LOVES NATURE" has. Inky's shampoo by itself would put (OTHER COMPANY) out of Business, and I don't even like shampoo like that!

ITS GOOD STUFF! YA UNDERSTAND????? SAVE UP AND GET IT!
-Burnetta, WI

Enter Inky Loves Nature's "Warrior Queen Cleanser". The chocolaty scent saved the day. Detergent free, left my skin soft and smelling like chocolate heaven with it's 100% Vegan ingredients. Then came the Ginger Sweet Coconut "Magical Melanin Moisturizer". This stuff is so thick. Super thick, and super organic gets skin super smooth. The scent and super natural concepts of Leesah B. (it's creator) leave me applauding.
-Elke, Makeup Artist, LA/NYC

So – I tried the chocolate/peppermint scrub on my face, chest and back… (my spotty areas),

First thing is the quality of the scrub is the best I’ve ever tried. I love the fact that EVERY bit I smothered on my face had the stony/gravely bits in it (dunno what they are called).

When I’ve bought other scrubs they seem to be sparse on the gravely bits and sometimes u have to use a face scrub pad to make it work on your skin. Not with this scrub! I felt like every part of my face was having a good scrub… and I didn't have to use too much of it… it will last ages!
Leesah – this is a QUALITY product.
Definitely good value for money.

Love the chocolate vibe – almost wished it was a bit more chocolaty – but that’s me (sweet tooth). The peppermint made my eyes water a little – but I think that’s cos my body is sensitive and I know I will acclimatize to it. Cant even remember the last time I came close to or even smelt peppermint so I think that’s why it was a bit of a shock to my eyes and my nose. I left it on my face for about 3 min's whilst I brushed my teeth.

I got in the shower – washed it off my chest and back. Didn't’t notice too much to be honest.

Then I rinsed the scrub off my face whilst in the shower and all I can saw is OH MY GAAAAWWWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
MY SKIN FELT AS SOFT AS A BABY’S BUM.

Seriously, I’ve never felt my skin feel so nice as that!

Even though my skin was wet – it felt like it was moisturised with cream if that makes sense?
And the water was rolling off my face, like water running over an oiled surface.

Most scrubs make your skin feel refreshed…

This felt like – I had gently peeled off a layer of skin, it had then been moisturised and creamed. And it felt strange cos I was still in the shower and was wet!!!!!!
But my skin felt all moisturised and pure.

SERIOUSLY – lm using that @#!% everyday!

Leesah, the feeling was amazing.

I then felt my chest and back and they had the same feeling.

I kept touching other parts of my body and then my face again and Leesah It was SOOOOO Smooth! Like I’ve never had before.

I then used the choc peppermint cleanser… Just cos!
And I loved the texture of that.

Again, the peppermint made me eyes water a bit…
But felt lovely going on.

Then I used the choc peppermint moisturiser – the thickness of it is wicked.
Makes you wanna use it sparingly. I think putting it in a tub is a good idea – but I really like the bottle its in cos I can carry it easily in my handbag to work hehehehehe

So far this morning all I can smell is the choc peppermint on my self and it smells so good….

I can’t wait to go home to just scrub my face again…

I didn't’t even want to put make up on over my fresh face this morning.
Seriously.

Tomorrow is my coconut ginger day – I will report back.

I’M LOVING IT….
-Remi, London, UK

YA ....HOOOOO!!!!!! I finally received my goodies. Thank you so much for the excellent customer attention Inky...

Loved all the products you sent me so I thought I could try some more. What I liked about the products, aside from the fact that there is no animal testing, and no animal by products, the smell is beyond yummy. Since the weather is changing, I started getting dry patches on my legs and the consistency of the body lotion is just what I needed. My skin feels silky smooth, and has a nice sheen to it. My summer tan is fading, so this helps to keep my skin glowing. I also put the lotion on my feet with a pair of socks at night, to help with " dry sandal feet". I plan to take a bottle with me to Mexico this year, as an after sun lotion. For travel the body wash is perfect, because I can use it for body and hair - less product toting. With that said, I'm looking forward to trying the hair butter. I love the tingling sensation on my scalp. Peace to you. I'm so in luv with the chocolate and mint scent. The body wash is fabulous, but the lotion is addictive. I just tried the scalp butter as well, and I luv it too. Peace...
-Lisa , New York

love your logo and product packaging. A natural product that is visually pleasing and otherwise on point!. I am sooooo glad you are doing what you are doing and creating these products. Every time I use the scrub I think of Summer and having glowing healthy skin and smelling fresh and yummy. I feel so much better about my overall well being using natural products made wholesomely and obtained fairly for and by people of color. My boyfriend uses it the most and sometimes I catch him walking by the dresser and opening the bottle for a lil sniff. Cracks me up every time...... I love the chocolate peppermint scent and the scrub it self.
-Mecca, Pennsylvania

Customer for Life!!!, Inky, I just received my items yesterday. Already, I am in love!! I will be purchasing more soon. Again, I love your Magical Melanin Moisturizer and Warrior Queen Cleanser, especially the organic, vegan, and fair trade aspects. It is difficult to find products that meet my ethical philosophies and standards (vegan, fair trade, organic). Your products are truly a blessing.
-Niasha, TEXAS

Inky from the start I am in love with your products. I am looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with you!
-PS Taylor, MD

Most impressed with your products. Love the packaging. I love the Dark chocolate cream.
-Emma, NYC

I bought some for my wife and its the only thing she uses on her scalp. she has tried a thousand different products on her hair and scalp, but she's very very picky. when i brought it home i thought for sure it would go in the trash like all the other ones i had bought her in the past, but to my surprise she LOVED it. she even gave me a kiss and she even said thank you (which is rare around my household). she has told all her friends about it and she just ordered several more for when she runs out. she is also very interested in checking out more of your products. we are big animal lovers in my home so we are very pleased that there is no animal testing on any of your products. thanks!
-Robert, NYC

Okay, I received my order of 'Coconut Magical Melanin Moisturizer' and I nearly collapsed with delight at the super succulent aroma that emerged from the moment that I opened the bottle. After I regained consciousness (LOL), I decided that I will see if the product was as good as my colleague at work said it was. When I applied it to my face, all I know is that my face loved it!!!. I can safely say that I will be using this company again, hopefully someone nice out there will stick a bottle or two in my christmas sack!! Well done and thanks Inky Loves nature.
-Femi, London, UK

Inky thanks for the scalp butter I love it! my hair is still in braids and I have not had it redone yet....but I can tell you that I can feel it when I use it. I love vegan and organic products God bless you and yours .....Peace ...blessings

I simply love the body lotion I will have to order more before I fly out to Japan. ;o)
-Wesley SSgt 435 CS/SCBIC

I am so happy to have found your web site. I am the only one in my family that is on an "organic kick" and I have been trying to find organic skin care for about six months now. To find a company that is black-owned is a very good thing and I will graciously pour my money into something that is helping out another sister. Much Luv and Respect.
-Karolyn, FL

Hi, I got back to NYC Friday after a little vacation with my daughter to find the
products here at the office. Thank you for including the scrub it was really generous and thoughtful of you. I have used all the products and I am thrilled. My Mother will be ordering soon. peace
-Alena, NYC

Just wanted to let you know that I am in the same business and am impressed with the butter. I haven't tried the skin products yet. Thanks for a great product. Sincerely,
-Cheryl, NJ

I have had thin hair all of my life, but the hairline is thinner, and has a gap of space between where my hairline starts and where my hair begins. Everytime I wash my hair and twist it or put a weave in, I'll use the butter all over. Then I use it a few times a week around the front edges of my hair, and then one day I noticed that the gap had filled in. It use to be so thin that when I put hair gel on, I had to maneuver the hair to cover the thin spot. Even though it's still short around that area, it's filled in enough that if I slick my hair back with gel, you can't tell that it's thin; it looks like my hairline starts there. When I took my twists out the last time, I wore a ponytail for a week to give my hair a break. My husband always complain about my hair when it's like that because of my hairline, but he didn't say anything this time, because he probably couldn't tell. But I love the butter, it's my favorite!
