RRAW PH is a local line of vegan products made by hand using only wild and fresh ingredients. They have soaps, body scrubs, face masks, and even organic lip tints! They promise all their products are made with natural ingredients, no toxic chemicals and were all lovingly crafted by hand. What's there to hate, right? I actually first encountered this brand through Saladbox. I was able to try the foot soak and it surpassed my expectations. Color me intrigued!
That said, I am kinda hesitant to try local brands (esp online shops). You just never know who you are transacting with. After an internet shopping disaster, I did my research and I have to say RRAW looks legit. According to their About Me page (read here), they are only a year old but from their customer feedback, it seems like they're doing good and are well-loved by their customers. I'm impressed. Pssssst, you can stalk their feedback here: #rrawphfeedback

Update: The Chistmas Gift Boxes are no longer available at their website.
What's Inside
The Noël Box (link here) retails for Php 549.00 and comes with: 1 Body Scrub, 1 Raw Bar, 1 Clay Mask, 3 pieces of Lip and Cheek Stain (Crassatella, Vitrinella and Scallop) and 1 Wildflower Botanical Facial Steam Pack. What a steal!
All the products in the Christmas sets will arrive in this sturdy gift box. Mine arrived safely with no dents in it and looks exactly like... a gift box. Haha, but seriously, this container is very well-built and can certainly be reused again.

Neuraw Scrub, 250 g (Adrenaline)
The Noël box contains one Body Scrub of your choice. I chose Adrenaline because I love lemons and I can certainly use the lightening benefits. I opened this and it smells so lovely and so lemony. Can't wait to use it! This body scrub can be bought for Php 129.00 (price is originally Php299.00).
Raw Bar, 75 g (Moon Crystal)
The Noël box will include one Raw Bar of your choice. All of their Raw Bars are paraben-free, all-natural and can be used on sensitive skin. You can choose from: Honey Oats, Coco Coffee, Ocean, Peppermint, Pipino, Sun Crystal and Moon Crystal.
Clay Mask (Canyon)
This box will also include one clay mask and you can choose one among their three variants. I had a hard time choosing what mask to try because all their masks look good! The Everest Clay mask is made from pure activated charcoal and it's suitable for those who want to detoxify their skin. The Mediterranean Clay mask is great for acne and prevention of breakouts. The one I chose is called Canyon and it is supposedly great for moisturizing skin and reducing redness.
I wish the cap is more secure (like a screw cap or something similar) because when I was trying to remove the bubble wrap, the rubber cap slipped off and spilled some. Oh, well.

Lip and Cheek Stain, 10 ml each (Scallop, Vitrinella and Crassatella)
Scallop is a wine burgundy shade and smells like strawberries. Vitrinella is a deep red shade and smells like cherries while Crassatella is bright red and smells like bubblegum. Each of these shades are currently on sale for Php 89.00 (previously Php 110.00). You can also buy all three shades in one bundle for only Php 199.00 (link here) to get more savings! (Update: Current price of the set is 299 pesos. Prices change depending on sales/promos)Okay, how great is it that all 3 shades of their lip & cheek stains are included in this box? Absolutely awesome! My lips have very dark edges so I'm not sure how these tints will fare when I use it but I am excited just the same.
Wildflower Botanical Facial Steam Pack
The last item in the Noël box is this facial steam pack made with rosebuds, jasmine, chamomile, lavender and green tea leaves.
I haven't tried any facial steam ever so I'm hoping this will surprise me. This pack has no indication of size but according to their website, the 30g can currently costs Php 99.00 (see here).
Witch Hazel Toner, 10 ml
This is not included in the Noël box but I really wanted to try this. Witch Hazel is proven to be an effective natural cleanser and toner because of its high concentration of tannins. It can fade bruises and blemishes and you can even use it to soothe bug bites! And that is just a small portion of what witch hazel can do! I think it's pretty cool that RRAW has their own witch hazel toner.Ease of Payment and Delivery
Once you have checked out, you have 2 days to complete your payment. RRAW currently only accepts payment through bank deposits (BPI and BDO) and through remittance centers (LBC, Palawan, Cebuana and Western Union). If you weren't able to pay within 2 days, your order will be automatically cancelled, unless you let them know otherwise.I don't mind paying through the channels above but Paypal/cards would be much easier on my side. Anyway, I paid on Saturday and they quickly replied and noted my payment. On Tuesday, I got an email saying my order has been shipped. The next day, my items were already on my doorstep. Overall, it only took 3 business days after payment to get my loot. I think that's quite fast considering I am outside Luzon and in a provincial area.
