Community Story: TikTok Made Her Buy It — and Now It’s a Daily Ritual

Meet Tiana — 26 | Nail Tech & Content Creator | Columbus, OH

Tiana has a soft spot for TikTok skincare trends — but she’s also learned to be skeptical.

“TikTok sells you everything, right? But most of it is just packaging. Pretty bottles, basic ingredients.”

So when she saw a TikTok review of Motor City Organics’ Ocean Mist Body Wash, she hesitated.

“It was this guy in the shower, showing the lather. Real chill vibe, clean packaging, and he was like ‘this isn’t like the cheap blue gel you’re used to.’ That got me.”

She clicked through to the site, and what stood out most?

“The ingredients. Sea salt, blue spirulina, aloe. No sulfates. No BS.”

She added a bottle to her cart. What she got a few days later exceeded expectations.

“It’s not just how it smells — though it’s literally the cleanest, most calming scent. It’s how my skin feels afterward. Like, moisturized without being greasy.”

Tiana ended up filming her own GRWM video a week later. It wasn’t sponsored — just love.

“I want people to stop wasting money on watered-down soap. This? It’s giving spa day. It’s giving 'I care about my skin.' And it looks cute in my shower, too.”
