Review: Nopalera
February 8, 2025
I’ve been seeing Nopalera at so many events, and every single time, I get drawn in! The colors, the scents, the overall aesthetic just feel like a celebration of cultura. Their products are beautifully packaged, rich in tradition, and every detail feels intentional. So, of course, I had to finally try them out for myself, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint!
Cactus Flower Exfoliant in Hibiscus
Originally, I had my eye on the Cactus Flower Exfoliant in Mandarina, but it was sold out when I went to purchase, so I decided to try The Cactus Flower Exfoliant in Hibiscus instead. But let me tell you, I was not disappointed with the Hibiscus version.
One of their best-selling products, and now I see why! The Cactus Flower Exfoliant in Hibiscus has become a staple in my routine. First off, the color is stunning, it’s a deep magenta that looks as beautiful as it feels on the skin, thanks to the hibiscus. The formula is packed with cane sugar, hibiscus flower, and cactus oil, which create the perfect balance of exfoliation and hydration. I’ve been using it consistently on my legs, arms, feet, and thighs, and I’ve noticed a real difference. My skin feels so soft and smooth after every use, without feeling stripped or irritated. The scent is fresh, slightly floral, and overall smells so good. The packaging is also gorgeous and I almost didn’t want to open it. This exfoliant makes taking my shower routine feel extra special.
Lemongrass Cactus Soap (2-Pack)
The Lemongrass Cactus Soap was the first Nopalera product I ever tried, and it’s still my absolute favorite. From the moment I smelled it, I was hooked. The fresh lemongrass scent is both energizing and calming, making it perfect for morning showers. The bright, nopal green color is beautiful, and the bar itself is designed to fit perfectly in your hand. The best part? It cleanses without stripping the skin, leaving me feeling fresh and smooth every time. My partner, who usually doesn’t have much to say about beauty products, has been raving about it too, so you know it’s that good. I love that it comes in a 2-pack because I hate running out of it!
Balance + Repair Duo (Shampoo & Conditioner Bars)
I’ll be honest, I was a little skeptical about the Balance + Repair Duo (shampoo and conditioner bars) because I was not used to using these products in bar form before. But Nopalera really delivered with this duo, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The Shampoo Bar lathers so easily, cleans my hair without drying it out, and leaves it smelling amazing. The Conditioner Bar took me a minute to get used to because I wasn’t sure if I was applying enough at first, but once I figured it out, I fell in love. It melts into my hair perfectly, adding hydration without weighing it down. After using both consistently, I’ve noticed my hair feels stronger, healthier, and so soft.
Bonus Gifts & Promotions
One thing I love about Nopalera is how they elevate the whole experience. With my order, I received some really thoughtful gifts: a Purple Jelly Bag, a Shampoo & Conditioner Bar Holder, and a Shampoo & Conditioner Bar Jelly Bag. These have been perfect for storing my products, especially when traveling!
As of now, they’re also offering free shipping on U.S. orders over $75, which is a great excuse to stock up on some favorites (or try something new!).
Final Thoughts
Nopalera isn’t just about skincare, it’s about culture, self-care, and honoring traditions in a modern, luxurious way. Every product I’ve tried has exceeded my expectations, from the scents to the packaging to how amazing my skin and hair feel. If you’ve been curious about them, consider this your sign to try them out! You won’t regret it. I personally can’t wait to try out more of their beautiful products!
