Makes it so much easier to wash my glass straw and really get in there to make sure it’s clean. I’ll never use plastic straws again!

I can say that this product moisturizes the lips for a longer time than other brands that I have tried. I like the fact that it doesn't contain any flavoring, but it contains vitamin E, which keeps lips hydrated and healthy.

Ever since I started using Ceremonia products, my hair has been changed in the best way possible. I have super thick long hair, and the first time I used the Scalp Power-Duo, I immediately noticed a difference post-shower when I brushed my hair. It felt sooooooo smooth. The next day, one of my best friends commented on how healthy and shiny my hair looked! It was extra validation (I didn't need) that this stuff really works, and fast!!
Oh, and don't get me started on the scalp massager. Makes me feel like I'm finally treating my hair right and she's getting the love and care she deserves. Luxurious vibes all around. 10/10 would recommend." —Emma T., Cermonia Customer

This particular Touchland sanitizer is scented with rosewater, and I absolutely love it!

I was so excited to finally get away from the strong, alcohol-scented hand sanitizers and love that this hydrates my hands, too. In my opinion, it's 100% worth the price (especially for my skincare lovers!). It honestly never leaves my purse!
