Waterless Beauty
SigiSkin Dew Potion

January 1, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Freshen makeup without smudging. Sigi Skin Dew Potion is made of 100% extracts, no water is used in Dew Potion. This concentrated spray not only freshens makeup but nourishes and protects the skin from environmental stressors. The lack of water makes for a powerful product that is surprisingly gentle.

Sigi Skin Dew Potion

We frequently refresh our makeup with water, when a waterless formulation could do it so much better. Not only does it refresh makeup, but it treats skin with nourishing ingredients that help skin retain moisture. Let’s take a look at this impressive waterless formulation from Sigi Skin:

Ingredient Profile

Chamomile flower

Chamomile

Chamomile is an antioxidant with potent skin-soothing action. [1] Chamomile Extract contains flavones that inhibit the production of inflammation, even in deeper skin layers. [2] The apigenin in Chamomile protects the skin barrier [3]. This gentle and hypoallergenic extract soothes skin, heals burns, and is great for helping skin recover. Chamomile Extract also kills the bacteria that causes acne while soothing skin. [4]

Aqua 3G

This ingredient is rare in skincare products because it is quite pricey. It contains an algae extract called glyceryl-glucoside. Glyceryl-glucoside works with the Aquaporins, the water conduits of cells. It stops moisture loss.

Maqui Berry

Rich in antioxidants, maqui berry is an excellent anti-aging ingredient. This vibrant purple berry reduces inflammation [5].

Licorice root

Licorice

Licorice root contains glabridin, which is a potent antioxidant that soothes skin. It lightens dark circles gently, improves uneven tone and skin redness. it is safe for even sensitive skin. [6]

PELARGONIUM GRAVEOLENS EXTRACT

Pelargonium Graveolens Extract

Pelargonium Graveolens Extract is a sweet-scented, rare geranium. It boosts skin elasticity and regulates sebum production. It is a very good antioxidant for the skin. It reduces inflammation by releasing excess water into skin tissue. [7]

The extract is superior to the oil as it removes the possibility of skin irritation due to the fragrance.

Baikal Skullcap

The root of Baikal Skullcap contains baicalin, wogonoside, baicalein, wogonin, and oroxylin A, all of which are flavones, a type of antioxidant that lend color to various plants and are known to be soothing.

Also known as Scutellaria baicalensis root can help skin better withstand environmental aggressors that can worsen the look of many common skin concerns.

Sigi Skin Dew Potion is packed with hydrating ingredients

FYI: Eddie Funkhouser Eyeshadow Quads Alert

August 18, 2022 · Leave a Comment

If you want Vegan makeup, you probably know about Eddie Funkhouser. So FYI Eddie Funkhouser Fans: four HYPERREAL® EYE COLOR PALETTE quads are on their sale page, and it says “while supplies last”. It is a good time to pick up your favorite quad.

We tried this Eddie Funkhouser quad “Bedroom Eyes”

About HyperReal Eye Color Palettes

The shadows are a creamy formula and well pigmented color payoff.

Cruelty-free
Vegan
Paraben free

These quads are highly versatile. The colors work for basic day makeup and transition to nighttime and weekend looks.

We tried the “Bedroom Eyes” quad as shown here. The color combinations are fairly goof proof.

The Experience

It is a smooth formulation. There is some light fallout during application, less so with thorough blending. But once the shadow is on, IT IS ON, even after several hours.

The shimmer shades blend well over the matte taupe. Layering doesn’t look cakey, even when combining matte and shimmer shades.

Smooth texture, high color payout.

Application Tips from Eddie Funkhouser

There is fallout during eyeshadow application, especially with the coppery and plum shimmers. A layer of loose powder on your undereye area or shadow shields are helpful if you are doing a smokey metallic look.

Eddie Funkhouser Eyeshadow Application tip:

“To give your eye makeup a high fashion edge, contour the crease of the eye with a dark shade using an Eye Contour Brush. Apply a second application of the same shade to the crease of the eye using a Crease Brush.”

Other Eddie Funkhouser Products We Love

We have tried a few Eddie Funkhouser Products that are quite good, especially for vegan!

Another products you may wish to check out is:

See our LuxLight Eyeshadow Palette review here. It is ten pans of nudes and neutrals, closer to a soft pinkish nudes, some shimmers and some mattes. Very flattering.

LuxLight Eyeshadow Palette closeup

LuxLight Palette has ten lovely and highly useable pans. We found each shade to be usable, no fillers.

Sigi Skin Kaleanser Hypoallergenic Vegan Wash

February 3, 2020 · 14 Comments

We knew eating Kale was good for you, but who knew it could be so beneficial as a face wash? We found out when we tried Sigi Skin Kaleanser Hypoallergenic Vegan Wash, an exceptionally gentle but effective wash that cleanses skin without stripping it.

Sigi Skin Kaleanser Hypoallergenic Vegan Wash

Why Kale

Kale is gentle but nutrient rich.

Let’s take a closer look at what Kale and the other natural ingredients in this formula can do.

Ingredient Spotlight

Kale

Brassica Oleracea Acephala Leaf , AKA Kale, contains Vitamins A, B, C, and K, antioxidants and phytonutrients. Topical kale application promotes collagen production, tightens pores, detoxifies the skin and fights free-radical damage

Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil

Eucalyptus Oil is purifying, cleansing, clarifying, and immune-boosting oil. It reduce harmful bacteria and infections on contact. It can be a strong oil, but is well buffered and delicate within this formulation for benefit without stripping or stinging skin.

Bergamot fruit

Bergamot

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia, better known as Bergamot has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Linalool and carvacrol are compounds in bergamot oil. Both are excellent anti-inflammatories for skin issues such as acne and skin irritation.[1]

Soybeans

Soy Extracts

Soybeans are both an emollient and an anti-oxidant. Soybeans are are in Vitamin E which softens and reduces inflammation.

Castor seed oil is a humectant

Castor

Castor Oil is a humectant. It draws moisture into the skin, making it plumper and hydrated. It softens skin with its’ high Vitamin E content. Castor Oil gently treats acne without drying the skin.

Castor Oil is typically too thick and sticky to apply directly to the skin, but in this formulation, it works effectively with no residue or unpleasant scent.

Glycerin

Glycerin helps skin retain moisture.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E oil softens skin, making scars pliable again. It reduces wrinkles with its’ humectant abilities.

OUR SIGI SKIN EXPERIENCE

I first used it one morning, as I mentally was going through my to-do list and generally distracted. I had patch-tested it for reactions a few days prior, so I knew it had a nice jelly-like texture and subtle Eucalyptus scent.

But then as I applied it to my face and started massaging it in, my mental to-do list melted away as I realized that the texture and sensation of this face wash was a world of difference from my standard cleansers, all of which I considered pretty great.

I literally said “OH WOW!” out loud.

So…continuing the recommended 120 seconds of face washing felt like a glorious but fleeting spa treatment. I delighted in making small, gentle circles around my face with my fingertips

Another surprise came when I washed it off: despite the medium-jelly consistency, it washed off clean and without any scrubbing. My face was truly clean: no vestiges of last night’s skincare routine.

And for as gentle as the cleanser is, it had taken off a mild layer of dead skin that was leaving my skin a little dull. My face had a healthy glow, which is a great way to start a morning!

As I went about my morning routine, I noticed something interesting, even though my skin felt truly and deeply clean, it wasn’t at all tight feeling. That is usually the trade-off: there are a lot of good cleansers that give you a deep clean feeling, but also strip your skin of moisture and leave it feeling tight. Not so with Sigi Skin Kaleanser Face Wash. My skin was moisturized and so, so soft.

Repairing with Peach Extract: Sigi Skin Peach Nectar Daily Eye Mask

January 9, 2020 · 9 Comments

Sigi Skin Pink Nectar Daily Eye Mask packs several eye skin-friendly ingredients and a whopping FIVE different hyaluronic acids into this soothing eye cream. It is gentle and softens the skin while treating discoloration and dark circles.Â

Sigi Skin Pink Nectar Daily Eye Mask

OUR SIGI SKIN EXPERIENCE

We find it to be a clean formula for delicate eye area skin. We love being able to regenerate and refresh orbital eye skin while providing a soothing cream that absorbs and leaves eye area skin soft and dewy.

Product texture

Sigi Skin Peach Eye Cream is creamy, light and absorbent

Sigi Skin Pink Nectar Daily Eye MaskÂ has a light texture that absorbs but it moisturizes like a thicker cream.

What it Does

It contains five different weight hyaluronic acids to deliver the actives of this product to each eye skin layer. This fades discoloration and provides an even skintone and texture.

Product Wear

It absorbs well leaving skin soft and supple. Makeup goes on top smoothly without pilling or running. It works for a no makeup day as it leaves skin with a dewy finish.

Despite having active ingredients, it doesn’t irritate sensitive eyes.

Letâ€™s take a look at the impressive ingredient profile:

ingredients

Peach Extract

Peach

Peach extract is used as an emollient to make skin soft and smooth. It contains multiple skin-friendly minerals, antioxidants and vitamins including Vitamins A, B, E, and K and lots of C. Calcium helps speed up cell turnover. Peach extract is ideal in an eye cream because it softens skin, treats, and encourages cell repair to keep skin fresh and healthy. Peach extract is rare in skincare because it is a costly ingredient.

Niacinamide

A natural skin brightener that reduces hyperpigmentation and fine lines with strengthening Strengthens skin barrier, brightens, improving fine lines, and reduction in hyper-pigmentation.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E prevents the signs of premature aging by softening the skin texture. Â Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic. It also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Propolis

Propolis is a beeswax based bee product.Â It fights infections and heals wounds. Propolis helps keep skin at itsâ€™ best. It causes a slight temporary skin plumping action that smooths the look of wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid pulls in moisture. This formula contains 5 kinds of hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights.Â The molecular size determines how deep each acid can get into the skin and deliver other active ingredients.

Coconut Oil

glycerin

Glycerin is a humectant that helps the skin to retain moisture.

Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil reduces wrinkles and inflammation. It is high in fatty acids with antioxidant benefit.

Asparagus

Asparagus is an anti-inflammatory and diuretic that removes skin puffiness. It hasÂ excellent skin-conditioning and anti-aging properties.

Asparagus is a great inclusion in this formula because it slows the cellular aging process including collagen loss and dermis thinning.

Lavender Oil

Lavender Oil is a calming anti-inflammatory. It soothes eczema and similar skin conditions because it is excellent at balancing the skin moisture barrier.

Lavender Oil softens the skin, reduces acne scars and lightens dark spots. Reports show lavenderâ€™s phytochemicals reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Orange Peel

Orange Peel has more Vitamin C than the fleshly orange fruit, almost double. It fights free radicals, removes blackheads and acne, and reduces wrinkles. It is often gentler than many potential vitamin C variants and ideal for the eye area.

WHAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN

This eye cream is cruelty-free and formulated without:

parabens
dye
sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS)
butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)
DMDM Hydantoin
phthalates
polyunsaturated oils (PUFA).
