Ren Products at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh
Sunday, July 24, 2011 at 2:26PM When you roll with Nadine Jolie, you roll in style. So when Nadine came to visit the UK earlier this year, I was happy to accompany her (read tag along with her) to Edinburgh. We stayed in a suite at the amazing Balmoral Hotel where JK Rowling finished her last Harry Potter book in 2007 in room 652. See Nadine’s video of our suite at the Balmoral here.
Apart from being a gorgeous hotel steeped in history, I was very impressed with the complimentary bath and shower products from REN. Glad to see a luxury hotel embrace natural beauty products!
Here's the list of what Ren products don't contain: Petrochemicals, sulphates, parabens, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colours, TEA, DEA, Glycols, silicones, PEGs, et al. The lack of these synthetic nasties makes me very happy.
Oat and Bay Conditioning Shampoo left my hair very soft the first few times I used it although over time the effect faded. The smell is light, fresh, and citrusy. Towards the end of the bottle I started washing my hair twice with it to make sure it was really getting clean. I was fine with this though because I really enjoyed using the shampoo.
Pro-Vitamin Hair Conditioner works well as a conditioner and also as a natural shaving cream. Leaves hair and skin moisturized without silicon or petrochemical build up!
Neroli and Grapefruit Body Wash although I've long detested the way neroli smells, this body wash changed my mind. The pairing of neroli and grapefruit zest is a match made in heaven. It's light and refreshing and a delight to use in the shower. Afterwards I felt invigorated!

These products sound fantastic! I would be over the moon to find them in my hotel bathroom.
