Fight Environmental Skin Stressors
Volto Urbano Moisturizing Blue Oil

December 11, 2020 · 4 Comments

Environmental stressors accelerate skin aging. So we are excited about Volto Urbano, an innovative brand with skincare formulations based on peer-reviewed research. The result is barrier-repairing, restorative skin care that combats external aging factors. Today we look at Moisturizing Blue Oil, a lightweight, restorative, go-to oil packed with skin-enhancing goodness.
Moisturizing Blue Oil is a natural shade of translucent lapis blue

About our Exposome
Our skin has seen some things. Bad things.

We know sun exposure damages (and ages) skin. Research reveals environmental stressors are also a significant oxidative factor. Turns out, skin aging is more influenced by extrinsic than intrinsic processes.[1]

Our “Exposome” is the collective experiences our skin sustains which results in accelerated aging and damage.

In a review of environmental studies evidence, European scientists, specializing in environmental medicine and/or skin biology concluded that air pollution, UV radiation, frigid temperatures, dust, dry air, tobacco smoke exposure, and even our cosmetics and skincare can take a collective environmental toll on the skin.[2]

Skin experts conclude “the skin aging exposome consists of external and internal factors and their interactions, affecting a human individual from conception to death as well as the response of the human body to these factors that lead to biological and clinical signs of skin aging.”[3]

Studies also show air pollution can also make existing skin conditions, like atopic dermatitis, even worse. [4]

But you can fight back.

Finding the Right Skincare For Your Environment

Products to counteract environmental impacts may work well in one location but be unsuitable for another.  Skincare needs in a cold, dusty, rural area are very different than a hot, humid, polluted city.

Many K-beauty oils masterfully address environmental concerns in certain environmental conditions. But these oils are often too heavy and oily for stateside use.

If you are concerned about the impact of environmental stressors, you have probably tried a few products. If K-beauty oils are too heavy for your skin, Volto Urbano Moisturizing Blue Oil is a lightweight but highly effective oil option.

Volto Urbano uses only research-backed ingredients to fight environmental skin damage

The Experience

Volto Urbano Moisturizing Blue Oil is a light oil, despite some rich ingredients. It doesn’t feel greasy or tacky. Just a few drops leave even dry skin smooth while quelling redness and irritation. My skin just drinks it in and it dries down to a silky finish.

Rich in Vitamins A and C, it counteracts environmental damage without drying or irritating skin.

It can be applied directly to facial skin or mixed in with your favorite cream.

Moisturizing Blue Oil really shines in hot humid weather.  New England is experiencing record high temperatures. This hot, sticky weather is paired with moisture depleting air conditioning.  We especially love that Moisturizing Blue Oil is a protective, hydrating barrier without feeling at all heavy on the skin. Skin looks refined, plumped, and dewy.

Only a few drops of this lightweight oil are needed

Only a few drops of this lightweight oil are needed

The oil has a natural lapis blue hue. This is due to the chamomile derived, skin-soothing Guaiazulene.  Let’s take a closer look at Moisturizing Blue Oil’s researched-backed, skin-loving ingredients:

the Ingredients

This formula has a hydrating Sunflower Oil base combined with soothing, skin rejuvenating natural ingredients

This formula has a hydrating Sunflower Oil base combined with soothing, skin rejuvenating natural ingredients

Helianthus Annuus

Helianthus Annuss is better known as Sunflower Seed Oil.  Sunflower Seed Oil is hydrating, nourishing, and an excellent “supporting” oil base or carrier oil for the other treating oils in this formulation.

Functions as a lipid buffer against drying ingredients or topical medicines [5] Sunflower Oil softens skin irritated by drying topicals. It hydrates and calms red, irritated skin.  Linoleic acid Gives sunflower seed oil anti-inflammatory properties.  It is a natural treatment for atopic dermatitis. [6]

It retains moisture in the skin and is also rich in vitamin E.

 

Safflower

Carthamus tinctorius

Carthamus tinctorius is safflower seed oil. It is lipid-rich.

They provide nutrients, fade acne scars, and promote cell turnover. Rose Hip Seed Oil is a Vitamin C variant that is both a treatment and a hydrating ingredient. It offers the benefits of Vitamin C and Retinol serums such as lightening dark spots but without causing irritation.

Skin Soothing, Easy Age Spot Fix
Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist

October 12, 2020 · 3 Comments

Uneven skin tone sneaks up on you. Discoloration from acne scars and photodamage are almost impossible to conceal. Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist does skin-quenching sprays one better by improving skin tone at the same time.  It is packed with antioxidants and leaves skin supple. Plus the Hesperidin protects collagen and fights photo-damage. And it practically sprays the dark age spots off your face.

 

For the skin obsessed, discoloration is a particularly irritating problem. To fade them often requires some skin irritating actives that leave skin parched. Fortunately, Mad Hippie has a gentle, natural solution.

Mad Hippie Hydrating Nutrient Mist is a delightful mist soothes what ails your skin while improving discoloration. It contains skin goodies like Pomegranate, Gingko Bilboa, Vitamin C, and Hesperidin.

Hesperidin is a skincare workhorse. We don’t know why more products don’t contain this non-irritating, skin-loving, discoloration fixing, a skin-quenching enhancer that really gets stuff done. But we sure are glad Mad Hippie packs it into this mist.

And check out some of the other skin-quenching ingredients:

the Ingredients

Sweet Orange is rich in collagen-protecting Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is rich in collagen-protecting Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is high in Hesperidin

Sweet Orange is high in Hesperidin

Hesperidin

Hesperidin is a plant flavonoid from citrus fruits like sweet orange and lemon. [1] It has been shown to help reduce the appearance of skin discoloration and it inhibits future overproduction of melanin. [2] It is collagen and fibroblast protective and reduces the appearance of sun damage [3]. This antioxidant anti-inflammatory soothes the skin. [4]

 

Sodium PCA

A natural humectant, Sodium PCA binds moisture to the skin dramatically improving skin hydration.

 

Milk Thistle

Milk Thistle

Milk thistle is about 80% silymarin.

Silymarin is an antioxidant and free radical scavenger.  It protects skin and fights signs of aging due to sun damage. It is used by dermatologists for all kinds of inflammatory skin conditions including acne, rosacea, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. [5]

Milk thistle also contains fatty acids, including linoleic acid.

 

Gingko Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba

A natural ingredient from the maidenhair tree.

Ginkgo Biloba increases blood flow to the skin.  Better blood flow means more nutrients are available for skin rejuvenation and collagen production.

Ginkgo Biloba contains high amounts of antioxidants to reduce skin redness and discoloration.

 

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is applied topically for targeted skin-rejuvenation.  It is an anti-aging, acne reducing, dark pigmentation fading powerhouse. Vitamin C is a building block for collagen, the support structure of the skin. Vitamin C also fades acne scars and improves sun-damaged skin texture.

Vitamin C reduces wrinkles & discoloration. It pairs marvelously with Hesperidin.

 

Resveratrol rich blueberries

Resveratrol

Resveratrol is a polyphenol that functions as an antioxidant. It is found in plant-based foods including blueberries, grapes, mulberries, raspberries and peanuts, and red wine.  It is a skincare staple because it reverses aged (senescent) cells to a physically younger, active state. [6]

 

White Pine Bark

White Pine Bark improves skin hydration and elasticity while decreasing skin fatigue while reducing the appearance of skin discoloration.

 

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Flowering Camellia Sinensis or Green Tea

Green Tea

Green Tea feeds and moisturizes the skin, calms irritation and is an excellent antioxidant. Topical Green Tea application reduce sun damage, decrease collagen breakdown and increase cell regeneration. Green tea contains polyphenols that may improve sun-damaged skin. [7]

High in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea is a major player in skin health and appearance. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin. Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells.  This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing.  [8] 

 

Sodium Hyaluronate

Sodium HA is a non-synthesized form of Hyaluronic Acid. It has Hyaluronic Acid benefits, is a humectant and offers stronger moisture retention properties than regular HA. It is found naturally and ample supply in young skin, but depletes with age. It moisturizes the skin while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Sodium Hyaluronate Acid has a lower molecular size compared to other Hyaluronic Acids. This is beneficial because it can absorb deeper into the skin.

 

Pomegranate Seed Extract

How Pomegranate Benefits Skin on StyleChicks

Pomegranate

Pomegranate Seed Extract is a safe, natural pomegranate based skincare ingredient.Those juicy, jewel-like seeds are arils. Arils are packed with antioxidants, minerals, vitamins A, C, K, and E plus folic and ellagic acids.

Pomegranates contain three times the antioxidants of wine or green tea. [9] Pomegranate Seed Extract increases skin barrier formation and improves skin hydration.  Meanwhile, it delivers impressive collagen-building results.

 

 

Some of our favorite Mad Hippie brightening products

 

The Experience

This light mist leaves skin supple and dewy.

Glowing, soft skin isn’t just for face and neck use it on décolletage, shoulders and arms. Many of us have a sprinkling of discoloration on our chest and shoulders. This spray can effectively sack this diffuse discoloration and even out skin tone without irritation or skin peeling.

Hooray for Hesperidin!!! 

Use on face, arms, neck, and chest.

BEACH BABE NATURAL EYES Eyeliner

WHAT WE LOVE

We particularly like how this liner does double duty as a waterproof liner and lash enhancer. Castor oil is well known to condition lashes, but it is so thick that it is often difficult to apply it directly to the lash root or not inadvertently get it into the eye. But when castor is in an eyeliner, it works out perfectly to enhance lash growth and as a long-wearing eyeliner.

Why It Is Special

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Face Cream is an all natural, luxurious face cream. It addresses aging and skin imperfections. This cream combines CBD with natural anti-aging, restorative and refining skincare ingredients. The result? Younger, smoother and more vibrant skin.

You’ve probably seen CBD Skincare trending at beauty boutiques. But before investing in any luxury face cream, it is worth fully investigating if the primary active ingredient meets your skincare needs.

Le Vesque uses Full Spectrum CBD oil. This has some distinct advantages.

 

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Face Cream contains full-spectrum CBD

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Face Cream contains full-spectrum CBD, a superior CBD for skincare

 

What is Full Spectrum CBD Oil?

Cbd

CBD stands for cannabidiol.  It comes in a few forms. CBD isolate is when just the cannabidiol is extracted from the plant, generally using harsh chemicals that strip the beneficial terpenes. Full-spectrum CBD oil contains all the beneficial compounds found in hemp, but without the psychoactive properties. It contains Cannabigerol, AKA CBG. CBG is a skin-care workhorse. CBG kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and treats skin problems like psoriasis. CBG is difficult to extract, so a Full-spectrum CBD is a great way to get CBG benefits. [1] It also contains all the anti-oxidants. But most importantly, Full-spectrum CBD oil is packed with skin-friendly cannabidiol. And it contains very, very low traces of THC. It won’t get you high or make you feel altered.

Differentiating CBD, Hemp Seed oil & Cannabis Sativa seed oil

While they all come from the same plant, Hemp Seed oil or Cannabis Sativa seed oil isn’t the same thing as CBD oil. CBD oil is extracted from hemp leaves and flowers. It’s a light oil that absorbs quickly. I would compare CBD Oil to Hemi-Squalene in viscosity. Hemp Seed Oil is thicker, heavier and greasier, more like Olive or Avocado. Hemp seed oil only contains trace amounts of cannabidiol. While Hemp oil is useful, it isn’t as restorative or effective as cannabidiol-rich CBD. CBD has many anti-aging and skin restorative benefits. Cannabidiol reduces:

  • Inflammation, including inflammation due to chronic inflammatory conditions [2,3]
  • Acne
  • Skin sensitivity
  • Wrinkles
  • Skin dullness
  • Ruddy skin tone
  • Excess sebum [4]
  • Eczema and Psorarsis [5]

 

CBD Oil comes from Cannabis Sativa Le Vesque products contain only USA-grown CBD that’s C02 extracted and third party tested. 

 

Loaded with natural skin-enhancing ingredients

 

In addition to the highly restorative Full Spectrum CBD, Le Vesque CBD Infused Luxe Face Cream contains fantastic anti-aging, texture-refining ingredients. They work together to improve skin texture, clarity, and structure, while offering superior hydration.  Let’s take a look.

As this is a full-spectrum CBD, it contains Cannabigerols. CBG is exceptionally restorative, even on sun-damaged skin. This cream contains 200mg of CBD.

 

Mangifera Indic

Mango

A natural ingredient high in copper is a great addition to this formulation! Mango Seed Butter also contains Vitamins C, A, E, K and B6. These refine the skin and fade discoloration.

Glycerin

Vegetable-based Glycerin is a natural humectant. It attracts and retains moisture in the skin.

Grapefruit PeelCitrus Grandis

Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells. This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing. [13]

 

Retinyl Palmitate

Retinyl Palmitate is a form of Vitamin A. This antioxidant found naturally in our skin. Retinyl Palmitate helps with wrinkles and fine lines. It promotes cell regeneration. It also boosts collagen production to make skin look younger and plumper.

Vitamin A’s can cause some topical skin irritation. The omegas in the CBD and other buffering ingredients within this formulation ensure that it will not cause peeling or irritate the skin. If your skin is too sensitive to tolerate retinol, consider this formulation as a viable option.

Cetearyl Olivate

Cetearyl Olivate is a combination of the ester of Cetearyl Alcohol and the fatty acids from Olives. It is not drying because Cetearyl Olivate is moisture attracting and retaining. Olive oil fatty acids have skin-enhancing Omega-3s and polyphenols. These make skin glow! Cetearyl Olivate will not clog pores.

Sorbitan Olivate

Sorbitan Olivate is a combination of the fatty acids of olives and a fruit-based sugar alcohol. It is commonly paired with Cetearyl Olivate to lend a creamy consistency. Moisturizing.

Coconut Oil

Capric Triglyceride from Coconut Oil

Caprylic/capric triglyceride is a natural skin replenishing emollient that creates a barrier on the skin’s surface, which helps to reduce skin dryness by decreasing the loss of moisture. [14]

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is one of the cleanest ingredients with no reported toxicity, it is safe enough to be food grade.

What it does Not contain
  • Formaldehyde
  • Parabens
  • Phthalates
  • Propylene Glycol
  • Sulfates
  • Synthetic dyes
  • Synthetic Fragrance

The scent is natural and leafy with a grapefruit top note. The CBD does not have any lingering Hemp aroma. 

Use

It is intended for face. But I also like to use it on the throat and décolletage. It is ideal for nighttime use. My skin stays well hydrated overnight.

This much covers face, throat and décolletage.Texture closeup: this much covers face, throat and décolletage.

TIP: For a relaxing nighttime treat, pat Face Cream on then treat yourself to a gemstone roller face and neck massage to really help every last drop penetrate the skin. So relaxing!


Just a dab from this one ounce jar works quickly for spot treatment.

Just a small amount treats my entire face. It has a light fluffy texture during application.

Result

Skin appears instantly more supple. It does not feel heavy or the skin, yet my skin is well hydrated in the morning.

What It Is

A CBD based body lotion full of high-caliber, skin-loving ingredients.

why it is special

Le Vesque’s signature ingredient, a high-quality Full-Spectrum CBD, works synergistically with other natural ingredients to make healthy, glowing skin.   Le Vesque products contain only USA-grown CBD that’s C02 extracted and third-party tested. And it’s cruelty-free.

Full-spectrum CBD does not contain components to give a “high” or altered sensation. What it does have is natural beauty benefits, including the ability to relieve dry skin, eczema and psoriasis. [1]

Many CBD lotions have a hempy, masculine smell. We love Le Vesque CBD Luxe Body Lotion because it smells of invigorating grapefruit, not hemp!

In addition to a high-quality Full-Spectrum CBD, this lotion has an especially impressive combination of ingredients.

 Ingredient Profile


Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Camellia Sinensis reactivates dying skin cells

Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil

Algae breaks down with light exposure. Fortunately CBD Luxe Body Lotion comes in protective opaque packaging.

Royal Jelly

10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid is an extraction from a fatty acid in Royal Jelly.

Royal Jelly is what bees make for the Queen and queen larvae to eat. It is a white creamy substance containing B vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes and minerals.

This anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant fights infections. Research shows royal jelly increases fibroblast action to promote wound healing. [5] It also heals acne, scars, and scrapes.

Meanwhile, Royal Jelly has anti-aging properties and smooths the appearance of wrinkles. [6]

Green tea contains polyphenols that soothe skin while providing antioxidants. Polyphenols may improve sun-damaged skin. [7] It contains phenols to strengthen collagen and elastin.

Camellia Sinesis Leaf Extract also contains EGCG. Research shows EGCG enables the production of new cells in the epidermis and reactivates dying skin cells.  [8] This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing.  [9]  EGCG is a potent antioxidant. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin.

As a topical ingredient, it evens the skin tone. It is anti-inflammatory that reduces redness and inflammation around the delicate eye area.

 

Simmondsia Chinensis

Simmondsia Chinesis is Jojoba Seed Oil.

It has a similar structure to sebum, replacing the natural oils which the skin needs to stay healthy. It regulates oily skin, removes impurities and flakes, reduces inflammation and soothes skin. Jojoba is soothing to the skin and softens wrinkles. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats.

Jojoba is a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients.

 

Jojoba Seed Oil

Jojoba Seed Oil

Cetearyl Olivate

Olive fatty acids deeply hydrate

Cetearyl Olivate is the fatty acid of Olives combined with a Cetearyl alcohol ester. A very safe ingredient that emulsifies active ingredients together within a moisturizer. It is a natural alternative to PEG.

Cetearyl attracts and binds moisture.  Cetearyl alcohol is one of the “good” alcohols that soften, soothe and heal dry skin. It is an emollient.

Olive fatty acids contains Omegas 3 and 6, and polyphenols. Polyphenols are antioxidants that protect skin cells from oxidative damage.

Within a formulation it is not greasy like olive oil but retains the benefits.

The olive fatty acids give deep hydration, smooth skin and give the product a silky texture.

Sorbitan Olivate

A combination of fatty acids from Olive Oil plus an ester of sugar. Olive Oil fatty acid contains the highly emollient squalene. It also contains oleic and palmitic acids.

It contains Linoleic acid which has an anti-inflammatory effect. It hydrates skin to help stop wrinkle formation.

Olive fatty acids within a product base, such as this one, is superior because it gives olive benefits without the greasiness. It gives a product slip without being greasy or clogging pores.

 

Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter

Mango

A highly emoillent It’s rich in oleic acid (an omega-9 acid); and the saturated fatty acid stearic acid.

These moisturize, tighten, plump and firm the skin. It provides long-lasting moisture.

It has antibacterial benefits and studies show it reduces acne.[10]

As with other citrus oils, it is an antioxidant with an uplifting scent.

 

Glycerin attracts moisture

Glycerin

Vegetable-based Glycerin is a natural, non-toxic, vegan-friendly humectant.

It attracts and retains water in the skin while supporting other active ingredients. It fills in gaps in dryer skin which makes skin look better and keeps the outer layer of the skin intact.

 

 

Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides

Style Chicks review of ROIL private collection body wash. Glossary of Skin and Hair Terms. Borage glossary definition on StyleChicks.com

Coconut Oil

A fraction of coconut or palm oil fatty acids combined with glycerin. It gives a product a rich feel and creates a silky appearance when applied to the skin.   Caprylic/capric triglyceride creates a barrier on the skin’s surface to reduce moisture loss and address dryness.  [11]It can make greasy ingredients leave a non-greasy finish. A gentle ingredient.

 

Tocopherol

A protective antioxidant that lessens discoloration.  Tocopherol makes damaged skin soft and pliable again while reducing wrinkle and fine line formation.

 

An impressive line-up, isn’t it? But even great ingredients can underperform if they are chemically processed. Le Vesque uses no chemicals and a clean harvesting method: CO2 extraction.

CLEAN CBD & CO2 EXTRACTION

The CBD in this formulation is harvested by CO2 Extraction. CO2 Extraction is a green technology which retains all the natural properties while eliminating any heavy metals and pesticides. CO2 Extraction doesn’t pollute the environment.

CBD is sometimes extracted by using harsh chemicals. This is cheaper and faster. But it strips many of the wonderful natural healing properties of CBD.

If you are using a CBD skin product that doesn’t impress you, then the CBD may be inferior and a cheaper, chemically extracted variant.

Full CBD Body Care:  Use Le Vesque CBD Luxe Body Lotion for daily body skin maintenance, and CBD Luxe Skin Cream to spot treat problematic body skin conditions, chapped elbows, and dry hands

Just a tiny dollop of the creamy lotion is all that is needed.
