<br />
I've been using Burt's Bees beeswax lipbalm so far and it's still working well<br />
But sometimes i want to try another lipbalm, so I picked oriflame tender care because this product has high rave<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This lipbalm contains petrolatum as main ingredient, which function is prevent dehydration.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It also contain lanolin and beeswax which moisten lips.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The good thing is this lipbalm really works. I use it before sleeping.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It hasn't annoying smell, but it leaves a bit waxy feeling on lips.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Overall, this product is nice and maybe I'll repurchase it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ok, that'a all for now.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Saya adalah seorang peneliti yang berfokus pada pencegahan kanker (kemopreventif) dan penemuan agen kemopreventif alami. Hal yang menarik, bukan? Itulah mimpi saya, dan saya bersemangat menjalaninya. Bagaimana saya <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kok </i>bisa terjun di dunia sains seperti ini? Ini dia ceritanya :<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Sebetulnya saya takut <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">banget</i> sama penyakit kanker. Membayangkannya saja sudah merinding. Gara-garanya saya pernah melihat sendiri bagaimana menderitanya pasien yang mengalami kanker, termasuk kesedihan yang dialami keluarganya. Ditambah lagi, pengobatan dan upaya pencegahan kanker di Indonesia ini mahal dan belum optimal.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%;">Oleh karena itu, sejak remaja saya mulai peduli dan belajar tentang kanker ini. Hal ini mendorong saya kuliah di jurusan Farmasi. Mmm.. sebetulnya keluarga saya menginginkan saya jadi dokter, karena dokter pekerjaan yang mulia. Tapi saya berpikir lain. Saya ingin menemukan agen anti-kanker, dan Farmasi adalah bidang yang tepat. Apalagi di Indonesia yang kaya akan keragaman hayatinya ini, belum banyak peneliti yang mengeksplorasi kekayaan tersebut untuk dijadikan obat alami Indonesia (Jangan sampai <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">deh </i>kita dikalahin <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">bule </i>dalam menemukan agen kemopreventif alami Indonesia).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Dalam CCRC saya diberi kesempatan belajar dan mengaktualisasikan ide saya. Salah satu penelitian yang saya dan tim lakukan adalah meneliti potensi ekstrak kulit Jeruk Keprok untuk menghambat pembentukan kanker pada sel hati dan payudara tikus yang telah diinduksi karsinogen. Ternyata hasilnya ekstrak kulit Jeruk Keprok terbukti potensial <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">lho </i>mencegah kanker pada tikus<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. </i>Kulit Jeruk Keprok tersebut kaya akan senyawa flavon yang potensial dikembangkan sebagai agen kemopreventif. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tuh kan</i>… ternyata mencegah kanker ga perlu suplemen mahal, cukup memanfaatkan bahan alam yang ada si sekitar kita, asal sudah ada bukti hasil penelitiannya ya…<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Mungkin orang tua saya berpikir bisa makan <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ga</i> saya jadi peneliti padahal saya sudah bisa menghasilkan uang kalau mau membuka apotek atau bekerja di pabrik obat. Tapi profesi jadi peneliti betul-betul membuat saya ketagihan! Akhirnya saya memutuskan sekolah lagi dan meneliti lagi di grup CCRC. Penelitian saya kali ini tidak kalah menarik, yaitu meneliti apakah <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">citrus flavonoid </i>dari kulit jeruk (kulit jeruk ini punya banyak kejutan rupanya) dapat meningkatkan efek terapi obat anti-kanker serviks. Data yang didapat selama ini menunjukkan bahwa <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">citrus flavonoid </i>dan obat kanker bisa bekerja sinergis. Namun penelitian ini masih berlanjut sampai dicapai hasil yang optimal. Bagimana kelanjutannya? Doakan saya ya…biar penelitian ini berhasil. Syukur-syukur kalau ada industri farmasi yang mau membiayai dan membuat sediaan farmasinya, hehe..<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

</span> </i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Herborist is pretty well known in Indonesia for its body scrub product. Nowadays Herborist also produces body lotion and body butter. I will review the body butter ones.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I bought herborist body butter for less than $1 per tube (IDR 9000). Nett weight is 80 g.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I picked the banana variant because it smelled really nice when I sniffed it. Other variants are mango, avocado, and papaya.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6nhwIVJSO0lIjBL8-BGNgyjmEBNC9T5U4h3paSKoVtbP2uUwzedBI7YUDjffqyEoUDh2RLUrX5q6-rRaH3Q-UOft1cRcqIUqaEop6uMONG8uMlnZS98xKBexEYdxQz2gZxsTdgRbZnx7l/s1600/IMG_6207-2.JPG"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6nhwIVJSO0lIjBL8-BGNgyjmEBNC9T5U4h3paSKoVtbP2uUwzedBI7YUDjffqyEoUDh2RLUrX5q6-rRaH3Q-UOft1cRcqIUqaEop6uMONG8uMlnZS98xKBexEYdxQz2gZxsTdgRbZnx7l/s320/IMG_6207-2.JPG" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The body butter has nice consistency, not too thick, not too thin and easy to be spread, suitable for daytime usage. The good thing is it contains UV filter (octyl methoxy cinnamate) and comes in tube packaging :-)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It moistens my skin well, better than other drugstore lotion. But I don't really like the smell when I put it on skin. Turns out it becomes overpowering fake banana smell. A bit smell of plasticizers too. I only use it on my feet so I don't have to smell it :-(</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">That's very bad because i like the consistency.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The ingredients are pretty good actually, it contains shea butter which is rich of vitamins, olive oil, vitamin E, UV filter, beeswax, and........real banana!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I don't know which part of banana being used</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If it uses the peels, it will be very good because banana's peels contain phytoestrogen</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Estrogen (or phytoestrogen) is important to skin because it prevents skin-aging and maintaining skin moisture by increasing skin collagen content :-)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Even so, I don't think to repurchase this product.</span></div><br />

</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hello!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In this post i will review about burt's bees beeswax lip balm</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It comes in two packages, stick and tin. I prefer the tin one because the bee picture on the tin is really cute :-D</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I bought this lip balm 3 months ago for about $4 per tin (IDR 40.000). Nett weight is 8.5 g (0.30 oz)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This is a minty refreshing transparent lip balm, contains antioxidant also</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">It glides smoothly and soothes my lips very well</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">But it is a very solid lip balm and little hard to apply, so I apply it directly to my lips. I know it's weird :-p</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The best thing of this lip balm is it lasts a long time on my lips and the ingredients are natural</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So i dont have to be worried to lick my lips unintentionally :-) I don't want to swallow any chemical things contained in lip product.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The lip balm isn't tested on animals so I'm happy using it :-)</span><br />
<br />
