Why It Is Special

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream is for use on both face and body skin.

It contains 500mg of CO2 extracted, USA-grown, third-party tested Full Spectrum CBD. Research shows CBD reduces inflammation from acne, skin damage and chronic skin conditions. [1]

Le Vesque pairs CBD with high-performance, spectacular skin care ingredients. The combination treats signs of aging, scars, sun damage, psoriasis, acne, and eczema. It even counteracts dryness from frequent hand sanitizer use.

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream is highly versatile. It pairs with both Le Vesque Face Cream and Le Vesque Body Lotion.  It can be applied to the face daily.  Luxe Skin Cream clarifies acne-prone skin and restores aging skin. It also improves the appearance of conditions on body skin.

 

 

One pump of Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream provides intensive CBD restorative abilities. ✽

Ingredients

This formulation contains ingredients often found in high-end boutique line skin care creams. Let’s take a look.

 Ingredient Profile

Reishi is a kidney shaped mushroom that regenerates skin cells

   Reishi mushroom has polysaccharides to boost moisture retention.

Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil

CBD Oil comes from Cannabis Sativa

CBD Oil comes from Cannabis Sativa

Full Spectrum Hemp-Derived CBD Oil comes from the Cannabis sativa plant. Full-spectrum CBD does not give a “high” or altered sensation.

The CBD oil is 500mg of CO2 extracted, organic USA-grown, and third-party tested.

It contains skin-loving cannabidiol, cannabigerol (CBG) and antioxidant compounds.[2]

Cannabidiol Oil is high in Omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.

It is also high in Vitamins A, E, and D. [3]

Reishi mushroom

Reishi mushroom

Lactobacillus/Ganoderma Lucidum

Gandoderma Lucidum is Reishi Mushroom Extract.  It is also called Asian Mushroom Extract or lingzhi.  It is most often seen in higher-end anti-aging skin creams.

Reishi is known as “mushroom of immortality” because it promotes cell regeneration.

Reishi has been used in traditional medicinal practice for health and beauty applications. It also reduces skin inflammation and puffiness.

Reishi is packed with polysaccharides to boost moisture retention. They boost the skin’s natural ability to hydrate and retain water. It also contributes to Reishi’s ability to reduce wrinkles.

It increases blood flow to increase nutrient delivery within the skin.

As with most topically applied mushrooms, Reishi is an excellent hydrator.

 

Lentinus Edodes

Lentinus Edodes is Shiitake Mushroom.

Shiitake mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms

This formulation uses highly concentrated Shiitake Extract Ferment Filtrate.

Shiitake is the anti-aging mushroom.  It improves skin elasticity and protects against environmental damage. Shiitake is a biodynamic ingredient. It slows aging by reinforcing the skin’s biological protection mechanisms. [4]  It is ideal for protecting sensitive and delicate skin. It also helps restore sun-damaged skin. [5]

Shiitake contains kojic acid. Kojic acid lightens discoloration.

Shiitake contains copper, which stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production.

Shiitake also contains selenium to decrease irritation and calm inflammation.

 

Royal Jelly

Royal Jelly is a gelatinous bee product made to feed the queen bee. It is an anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant filled with skin-friendly nutrients. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles. It aids wound healing [6] and skin repair. [7]

Royal Jelly combats sun damage and can promote procollagen type I production. [8]

Royal Jelly

 

Avena Sativa

Avena Sativa is better known as Oat kernel flour or Collodial Oats. It is soothing to chronic skin conditions such as eczema.

 

Jojoba Seeds

Jojoba Seeds

Simmondsia Chinensis

Simmondsia Chinensis is Jojoba Seed Oil. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats.

Jojoba is an exceptionally gentle oil that is excellent for both face and body skin. Jojoba regulates oily skin, removes impurities and dry skin flakes.

Jojoba is soothing to dry, irritated skin and removes acne inflammation.  Jojoba hydrates and softens wrinkles.

Jojoba is also a carrier oil, increasing the efficacy of other active ingredients. Jojoba enhances the ingredients it is paired with instead of creating an oily barrier.

 

Mangifera Indica

Mangifera Indica is Mango Seed Butter.

Mango

Mango

Mango is naturally high in copper. Copper builds Collagen, Elastin and increases Hyaluronic Acid production for smoother, more resilient skin.

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.

Mango is also rich in A & C to refine the skin.

 

Olives benefits the skin

Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate both use the fatty acids of olives

Cetearyl Olivate

Cetearyl Olivate is the fatty acid of Olives combined with a Cetearyl alcohol ester.

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 contain Linoleic acid which has a skin-enhancing, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effect.

A very safe ingredient that emulsifies active ingredients together within a moisturizer.

It is a natural and safe alternative to PEG. It is made of a “good” alcohol & olive fatty acids.

Sorbitan Olivate

The fatty acid of Olives combined with sugar. Frequently used in combination with Cetearyl Olivate.

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

 

Grapefruit Peel

Grapefruit Peel Oil

Citrus Grandis

Citrus Grandis is Grapefruit Peel Oil.

Higher in Vitamin C than the fruit itself, Grapefruit Peel oil restores skin, fades discoloration, reduces blemishes and improves skin texture.

Grapefruit Peel Oil also adds an uplifting, refreshing scent to the cream that is an all-natural fragrance.

 

Tocopherol

Tocopherol is a form of Vitamin E, a soothing anti-inflammatory. It instantly improves the appearance of skin while improving skin texture over time.

Tocopherol softens skin texture and reduces scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable.

Tocopherol makes rough, sunburned, scarred, or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients are more effective.

 

Glycerin

Glycerin is a natural humectant derived from vegetables.

  • Parabens
  • Phthalates
  • Propylene Glycol

the Experience

Face
Apply daily on face, focusing on areas of aging and dryness. Combined with nightly Le Vesque Luxe CBD Face Cream use, my typically dry sensitive skin is exceptionally soft and supple.

 Le Vesque CBD Luxe Face Cream

Pair the Le Vesque CBD Luxe Face Cream by night with the Luxe Skin cream by day for to maximize the power of restorative power of CBD

Application

One pump covers face and throat. While it absorbs immediately either way, I like to warm it just slightly between two fingers like Creme de la Mer to spread one pump of product over face *and* throat.

Luxe, rich texture with smooth dry down

Luxe, rich texture with a smooth dry down

Feel & Drydown

Since it sinks right in, it isn’t really wet. Drydown just feels like soft skin, not waxy or sticky. My sunscreen and makeup do not pill or run on top of it. It is not oily or tacky so makeup doesn’t run either. I can apply sunscreen and makeup immediately.

Scent

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

I am delighted to find a daytime CBD face cream that has no tell-tale hempy odor. It is completely suitable for daytime use even at the office.

Uses

I also like it as a post-treatment moisturizer.  It immediately restored my skin after over-zealous Retin-A use and is fabulous after exfoliating or doing an at-home Glycolic peel. As a post-peel cream, it restores balance to the skin.

While it absorbs well on its’ own, I love pairing it with a gemstone roller to benefit from every last bit. And it feels wonderful and relaxing.

Body

I have chronic dryness and redness on my hands, especially cuticles and knuckles. My cuticles are often red and peeling normally, and increased handwashing and hand sanitizer use has made it even worse. My cuticles are red, cracked, and raw.

This is a soothing treatment not only for hands but is excellent on dry, chapped elbows.

When my skin looks dull, this helps soothe tired skin and accelerate its natural healing process.

Pair with the body lotion for use on dry or problematic body skin

Texture and Dry down

Just a pump of this thick cream absorbs rapidly into the skin. There is no oily or sticky residue on dry down. A small amount goes a surprisingly long way.

results

My chapped hands and cuticles look and feel better with every use! The effect lasts all day through multiple hand washings.

It is also a highly effective yet non-drying treatment for acne. It’s wonderful to find both an acne and anti-aging treatment that moisturizes skin while simultaneously helping (not irritating) skin conditions like eczema.

Packaging

The opaque pump bottle is airtight to protect precious natural ingredients.  Each pump dispenses 1 ml of cream containing 10mg of CBD.


Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream

✽
Reputable & Quality CBD

This product uses 500 mg of CBD and can accomplish a great deal.

Have you previously used a CBD skincare product and found it lackluster? Even some boutique brands use subpar versions of CBD (looking at you CBD isolate).  If so, you may not have experienced what quality CBD can accomplish.

Le Vesque takes several steps to ensure quality.

How to Identify a Reputable CBD Cream

A study in The Journal of the American Medical Association reported that more than sixty percent of online CBD products are mislabeled. [9]

YIKES.

How do you locate a quality CBD skin product?

Actual CBD has high cannabidiol, whereas Hemp Seed Oil has only trace levels.  Choose products that have Certified labs measure the cannabidiol levels to ensure the CBD is actually what it claims.

Independent Lab Testing

A third party independent lab verifies that the product actually contains what the ingredient label claims.  Third party testing indications include a Certification seal, lab report, product specification, or assay.

A CBD manufacturer should make this report available. On the report, look for the CBD levels. You want to see higher levels of CBD and very low levels of THC.

Le Vesque makes the independent lab report test results available right on each product page.  Review the Luxe Skin Cream lab report here.

The lab report is the best indicator of CBD quality and cannabidiol levels.

 

Pre-Measured Dose per Use

Reputable products with generous levels of CBD tend to ensure that the optimal amount of CBD dispenses per pump or application.

There are no formal dose per pump mandates. But if a brand has pre-measured CBD per use, it generally indicates the company wishes to ensure the best CBD experience.

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream dispenses a pre-measured CBD dose by a precise pump design.

Each 50 ml bottle contains 500mg of CBD. Each pump dispenses 1 ml of cream containing 10 mg of CBD.

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Skin Cream has 10mg of CBD per pump

Extraction Method

High quality CBD oil is obtained by CO2 extraction to ensure quality and consistency. This method is also the cleanest, using no harmful chemicals in processing. It is safer and it retains all of CBD’s healing properties.

Le Vesque uses only CO2 extraction.

 

Hemp Sourcing

Hemp grown in the USA for health and beauty use must meet certain FDA and Farm Bill standards and regulations.

Le Vesque only uses CBD oil from organic hemp grown on a northern New England family farm. 

 

Le Vesque meets all the criterion for a high-quality, reputable CBD.  It is also cruelty-free, inclusive of all skin types, and it is quite luxurious.

Le Vesque CBD Infused Luxe Skin Cream treats skin conditions other restorative creams cannot. regular use revolutionizes problematic skin.

The Skin Cream works synergistically with all the products in the Le Vesque invigorate range

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.

[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.

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.

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

The Experience

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Body Lotion is a soothing treatment. It is an excellent skin hydrator, hand lotion, and cuticle fixer, especially after hand washing. It treats my dry feet and parched elbows, and rough knees. It leaves my shoulders soft and supple.

Algae Extract as emollients, soothing agents, or antioxidants.

Algae extract contains polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are sugar-chains vital for maintaining skin structure. [4]

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.

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

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Camellia Sinesis Leaf Extract is Green Tea.

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

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.

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.

Mango is also rich in A & C to refine the skin.

CITRUS Grandis

Citrus Grandis, commonly known as Grapefruit Peel Oil, is high in collagen-producing Vitamin C.

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

The Le Vesque CBD Luxe Body Lotion experience

Le Vesque CBD Luxe Body Lotion is a soothing treatment. It is an excellent skin hydrator, hand lotion, and cuticle fixer, especially after hand washing. It treats my dry feet and parched elbows, and rough knees. It leaves my shoulders soft and supple.

It leaves my skin smooth, plump, and luminous with no greasy feel.

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

Madame Gabriela Lipstick Clean Beauty Luxury What to Know

March 24, 2020 · 18 Comments

REVIEW Madame Gabriela Beauty lipstick: a clean beauty cosmetic with a luxury vibe. Read our experience and a full report on the ingredients in this lipstick.


Many of us seek clean skincare and eat healthily. But do we still slather our lips with chemical-laden lipstick? Probably because many “clean” lipsticks leave much to be desired in texture, color choice, and packaging. So we are pleased to introduce a brand that caters to our desire for a luxe lipstick with clean ingredients. This brand is Madame Gabriela Beauty. It has an exceptionally smooth finish held in a sleek and chic lipstick case.

Madame Gabriela Clean Luxury Lipsticks

Madame Gabriela Clean Luxury Lipsticks

Brand Overview: Madame Gabriela Beauty

Madame Gabriela Beauty is a clean-cosmetic lipstick with ingredients typically found in skincare or a luxe lip treatment.  It is an ingredient-driven lipstick that has a luxury lipstick look, texture and feel.

There is much to say about this lipstick range: the experience, the shades, the wear, and our a full ingredient profile. These lipsticks are truly 100% clean.*

The Madame Gabriela Lipstick Experience

I love natural lipstick but I am frequently disappointed with shade selection and texture.

Many clean and natural lip cosmetics are, in our opinion, overly brown or yellow-based hues. These muted shades are lovely on redheads and warmer skin tones, but they don’t work as well with fairer or pink-based undertones. At least not for us.

Natural ingredient lipsticks also tend to be very waxy and dry or overly soft and runny.  I require high performance and definition.

So we were delighted to discover Madame Gabriela Beauty has mastered high performance, clean lippies in cooler tones with impressive color payout.

And these lipsticks have such a smooth, silky finish.

We were particularly impressed that Madame Gabriela Beauty lipsticks use ONLY ingredients that are clean and safe but are cleverly formulated so that there are no compromises in quality. The texture is excellent.

They are not waxy or watery. They have good wear time and don’t make my lips look or feel dry. There is no compromise to achieve a clean beauty lip product.

The Madame Gabriela Shades and Swatches

There are currently three Madame Gabriela lipstick shades:

  • New York at 1 PM a bright cheery pink
  • Paris at 7 PM is a classic true red pigment
  • Sydney at 8 AM a lightweight nude
Madame Gabriela Beauty Lipsticks Comes in three shades

Madame Gabriela Beauty Lipsticks Comes in three shades:

Madame Gabriela Lipstick Sydney at 8 AM


Madame Gabriela Sydney at 8 AM is a pink undertone nude suited to pale to medium-dark skin tones. Just warm enough without being too dark or orange, yet not too gray or beige.

It does not oxidize into a brown or bleached out foundation tint look after a few hours of wear.

✽

Madame Gabriela Lipstick New York at 1 PM


Madame Gabriela New York at 1 PM is a cheery blue base pink.

A classic wearable pink is hard to find. I am always attracted to pink lipsticks, but rarely find the shade I like on my lips.

This shade has color payout without appearing too garish. It is not Shocking Schiaparelli pink, but it is not ballerina bare or teenage bubble gum either. Polished and glam like its’ namesake. Madame Gabriela New York at 1 PM is a bright cheery pink perfect for spring and summer.

Madame Gabriela Lipstick Ingredient Guide

Take look at this impressive formulation of Madame Gabriela Beauty’s Ingredient Driven Lipstick:

What is in Madame Gabriela Lipstick? Ingredient Analysis


Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey in Madame Gabriela Beauty lipstick

A softening humectant, Manuka Honey has healing, protecting and hydrating properties. It fights free radicals and is an anti-aging, boosting collagen production and cellular regeneration.

Manuka Honey works best when combined with hydration. Manuka Honey has natural antibacterial and antiviral properties to heal skin conditions.

Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil*

Organic Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. This is higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils. Avocado Oil mixes with water better than other oils.

Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves skin texture. Rich in Omegas 3 and 6, Vitamins C,D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes scar healing and collagen production.[1]

Few oils can soften and reduce the appearance of vertical lip wrinkles like Avocado can. It gives this lipstick a smoother application and finish.

Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil

Sesame Seed Oil softens the skin. Rich in linoleic acid, vitamins A an E, it rids the skin of dry flakes. Sesame Oil is ideal for sensitive, irritated lip skin.

Sesame Seed Oil has a very thick and rich texture. It absorbs exceptionally well and seeps into the skin, making it soft and silky.

Cocoa Seed

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter*

Cocoa Seed Butter contains a significant amount of polyphenol and flavonoid antioxidants. It prevents peeling lip skin and keeps lip skin elastic.

Matricaria Recutita (Chamomile) Flowers*

Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil*

Organic Castor Oil is a humectant. It draws moisture into the skin, hydrating while serving as a subtle lip plumper.

It softens skin with its’ high Vitamin E content.

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

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*

Organic Sunflower Seed Oil Sunflower is hydrating, nourishing and an excellent “supporting” oil base.

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

The Linoleic acid gives sunflower seed oil anti-inflammatory properties, provides a lipid barrier and is a natural treatment for atopic dermatitis. [3]

Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*

Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer

A combination of two natural oils that provide a soft and smooth finish and help form a “film” for product staying power.

Bambusa Arundinacea (Bamboo) Stem Extract

Bamboo Stem Extract has flavones, a source of natural antioxidants. Since the skin on lips is a major target of oxidative stress, the antioxidant protection provided by bamboo extract is excellent within this formulation.[4]

Bamboo extract contains glycosides, phenolic acids, and amino acids. These hold skin nourishing and soothing properties.

Bamboo extract is also hydrating, supporting other ingredients like Manuka Honey.[5, 6]

Thyme in bloom

Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Leaf*

Thyme has skin protective properties, including some UVA and UVB protection.

High in anti-oxidants it is a skin anti-ager.

Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf*

It also has natural antiseptic properties and is a gentle exfoliant for dead skin flakes to keep lips smooth.

Rosemary Extract is soothing and helps reduce puffiness and lightens dark spots. It is stimulating and promotes better blood circulation to deliver the nutrients necessary to build collagen, elastin and to encourage scar repair.

Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Flowers

Ylang Ylang softens and smoothes skin and stimulates new cell growth.

It soothes inflammation and irritation due to skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. [7]

Tocopherol

Collagen production is especially important on lips that quickly show age and deflate with time.
