Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream

September 23, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream is a lightweight gel like cream that absorbs quickly with no tacky dry down.  It is lightweight enough for day use but packs the ingredients of a decadent treating night cream, including several synergistic fermented ingredients that promote collagen synthesis.

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream

Haruharu Wonder Honey Green Brilliant Cream decanted onto their custom spatula.

Why HaruHaru Wonder is Special

This Clean Beauty brand boasts 95% natural origin ingredients, including the highly effective Camellia Japonica is also known as Japanese Camellia or tsubaki.  It is the authentic Japanese Camellia seen in brands like Tatcha and SK-II.

It is chemical free, paraben free and cruelty free.

HaruHaru Wonder counteracts environmental stressors, brightens the skin and leaves it dewy and soft. This is done, in part, by the K-Beauty method of using fermented ingredients.

Fermented ingredients such as fermented green tea and Saccharomyces Ferment both protect the skin and rejuvenate. Fermented ingredients also enable better ingredient absorption as they break down ingredient molecules into smaller molecules easier for the skin to absorb. In this regard, Saccharomyces Ferment is a superstar.

Check out this ingredient lineup:

Key Ingredients

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Flowering Camellia Sinensis AKA Green Tea

 

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

Camelia Sinensis is the leaves of green and white tea. It is gentle yet powerful. This green tea is fermented for extra skincare benefits.

It contains phenols and EGCG which evens the skin tone, and is an anti-inflammatory antioxidant. It reduces redness and inflammation around the delicate eye area.

EGCG enables the production of new cells in the epidermis [1] . It contains phenols to strengthen collagen and elastin. This gives skin a bouncy, younger look while delaying wrinkles.

 

Honey

Honey is a natural antibacterial and moisturizing humectant.

Raw honey is a gentle spot acne treatment and anti-aging antioxidant. Honey is a pore clarifier and a moisturizer.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is a Vitamin B3 derivative.

Niacinamide promotes collagen, addresses a loss of elasticity and reduces redness. It fades acne scars and brightens the skin.[2] It reduces the inflammation of rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions [3]

An effective brightening and lightening tool all own its’ own, when paired with Vitamin K results in brighter and firmer skin. It decreases sebum production, [4]  fine lines and enlarged pores. It inhibits melanin production in hyperpigmentation. [5]

Niacinamide reduces the impact of environmental damage because it improves skin’s barrier and Ceramide levels [6] .

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

hydrating Sunflower Seed Oil

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil

Sunflower Seed Oil functions as a lipid buffer against drying ingredients or topical medicines [7] It retains moisture in the skin and is also rich in vitamin E.

Sunflower Oil is non-comedogenic and can moisturize acne-prone areas. It soothes eczema, scarring, redness, and irritation.  It is a natural treatment for atopic dermatitis. [8]

Linoleic acid gives sunflower seed oil anti-inflammatory properties.

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil

Camellia Japonica is an excellent antioxidant and moisturizer, Camellia japonica oil is rich in Omega 9. Omega 9 helps the skin retain hydration.  Camellia japonica oil also contains polyphenols, vitamins A, D, C, and E.

This non-comedogenic oil promotes skin elasticity.[9]   It the most effective at transdermal collagen and elastin delivery.

 
Camellia Japonica

The seed of the Camilla japonica produces a highly effective skincare oil

 

Saccharomyces Ferment

A moisturizing, skin- soothing, nutrient rich yeast ferment that stimulates cell renewal with amino acids and peptides. It is well tolerated even by sensitive skin types.

Saccharomyces Ferment is a probiotic yeast obtained by fermentation. It is considered a postbiotic. [10]

Fermentation increases nutrient density like a skincare ingredient “power level up”.  In Saccharomyces Ferment, it adds nutrients to a formulation as it produces amino acids and peptides. Amino acids and peptides can be easily absorbed by the skin to promote collagen synthesis and nourish our skin cells.

Saccharomyces lysate extract neutralizes toxins such as trace heavy metals and pesticides. [11]

It increases oxygen flow to skin cells. The better the oxygen flow and consumption, the better vital skin components such as collagen and elastin are maintained.

 

Lactobacillus Ferment

A probiotic to maintain the microbiome for a healthy skin barrier, reducing skin issues such as acne.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and increases the effectiveness of other ingredients.

Hyaluronic acid holds its’ weight in moisturizer, plumping the skin, making fine wrinkles and mild sagging disappear temporarily. It also drives active ingredients to deep skin layers for better results.

Beta-Glucan comes from oats

Beta-Glucan

Derived from oat, Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide sugar derived from yeast or oats. It is an antioxidant and skin-soother especially helpful for calming red, irritated skin.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a natural vegetable-derived humectant. Glycerin helps the skin to retain moisture.

Glycerin fills in gaps in dryer skin which makes skin look better and keeps the outer layer of the skin intact.

Hydrogenated Lecithin

Hydrogenated lecithin is a phospholipid that is produced by controlled hydrogenation of the skin-restoring ingredient lecithin.

Palmitic Acid

A fatty acid that is a natural emollient found in a variety of palms.  Helps skin retain moisture longer, and is particularly soothing to sensitive skin conditions such as eczema.

 

Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols

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

 

Jojoba Seeds

Jojoba Seeds

Simmondsia Chinensis

Jojoba Seed Oil removes impurities and flakes, reduces inflammation, and soothes skin. Jojoba oil is an emollient, made of 98% monounsaturated fats.

Jojoba gives elasticity and softness to the skin without causing acne or clogged pores.

Caprylyl Glycol

One of the “good” alcohols that binds to moisture.  A humectant.

Caprylyl Glycol is skin-conditioning. It is an alcohol derived from caprylic acid. Caprylic acid is a fatty acid found in milk, coconut and and palm oil

Tocopherol

Tocopherol is a form of Vitamin E derived from vegetable oils.  It is a moisturizing and skin softening antioxidant.

Olives benefits the skin

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

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. Quite moisturizing.


The Experience

We love how it counteracts the irritation of aHAs or Retinol without feeling greasy or sticky. It goes on well underneath sunscreen with no pilling. Not heavily scented. And it comes in a generously sized container with this adorable little scoop!

We have been using it for a long time and still can’t get over how effective and decadent it is!?

TIP: spread the cream out from the inside of the face outward and upward. After a moment, tap the skin lightly to enhance absorption.

Let’s take a look at the soothing ingredients in this spa treat:

The Ingredients

Lutein

Lutein is a carotenoid that comes from marigolds.

We may best know it as an “eye vitamin” but Lutein also promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) improves cellular energy production and reduces inflammation, a major cause of aging. It gives skin a natural glow. It also helps the skin optimize the use of Vitamin C and CoQ10.

ALA improves cellular energy production, making skin look brighter. ALA is a powerful antioxidant.

Shea butter definition at StyleChicks.com Defining Beauty Glossary

Shea Butter

Butyrospermum Parkii

Better known as Shea Butter.

Shea Butter treats acne scars, including cystic acne dark scars.

Shea can feed the skin and overhaul the skin texture, even on deep burns.

Kaolin

Kaolin is a natural clay that absorbs oil and removes impurities. Ideal for treating oily and acne-prone skin.

Olives benefits the skin

Squalane comes from olives

Squalane

Squalane comes from Squalene. Vegan squalane comes from olives. It has all the benefits of Olive Oil but without greasiness.

Squalane mimics the skin’s natural sebum and makes the skin barrier extra smooth and soft. It is suitable for even highly sensitive or irritated skin.

Tocopherol

A potent form of Vitamin E used in skincare. Tocopherol softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. 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.

Cetyl Alcohol

C-16 fatty alcohol is one of the “good alcohols” as it is moisture binding.

Ubiquinone

COQ10 is a topical vitamin in skincare to improve skin texture and elastin production.

Co-Enzyme Q-10 is an antioxidant naturally present in the skin but decreases with sun exposure.

Ubiquinone is necessary for collagen synthesis.

Glycerin attracts moisture

Glycerin

Retinyl Palmitate

A form of Vitamin A. Retinyl palmitate is an antioxidant found naturally in our skin, a natural form of Vitamin A that helps with wrinkles and fine lines.

It also boosts collagen production to make skin look younger and plumper. And it promotes cell regeneration.

If you are unable to tolerate wearing retinol overnight, this masque is a great way to still get the benefits without irritation.

Biotin

Biotin is Vitamin H. Biotin aids skin hydration, moisturizes, and restores dry skin. It also helps fight acne. It makes skin glow, reduces redness and skin cracking.

The Experience

In about ten minutes, EmerginC Vitality Mask provides softer, hydrated skin that feels super smooth. Skin left feeling tight from too much cold, wind, or sun feels balanced again.  All you need is a small scoop to get spa results from home!

Twice weekly seems the right balance for my dry, sensitive skin to become soft, glowing skin.

About Bakuchiol Featuring Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt

September 9, 2022 · Leave a Comment

We previously featured Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt, a skin-loving combo of Probiotics and Bakuchiol. Today we look closely at how the Bakuchiol in Tropical Melt gives Retinol results without retinol irritation.

About Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is derived from the leaves and seeds of the babchi plant. Bakuchiol is a natural retinol alternative. It is plant-based, non-irritating, and clinically proven statistically as effective as retinol. Bakuchiol improves photoaging, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation equally as well as retinol, but Bakuchiol is better tolerated. [1] It stimulates collagen within the skin, as well as significant improvement in wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, and firmness without the retinol-associated side effects. [2] Bakuchiol inhibits melanin production on age spots and acne scars [3]. Bakuchiol helps with acne.[4] Bakuchiol is a plant-based phenol that decreases wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Studies show that gentle, natural bakuchiol holds its’ own against Retinol. Retinol looks emollient but dries the skin, whereas bakuchiol hydrates

Retinol looks emollient but dries the skin, whereas bakuchiol hydrates

Bakuchiol Research

“Our study demonstrates that bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photoaging and is better tolerated than retinol.” [5]
One randomized, double-blind, clinical study compared retinol and bakuchiol. There was no statistical difference between how each decreased wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. But the retinol users reported facial skin scaling and stinging. [6] A second study confirmed the Retinol-like functionality of bakuchiol. It also documented the stimulation of collagen within the skin. Bakuchiol was used twice a day for 12 weeks. The result was a significant improvement in wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, and firmness without the retinol-associated side effects. [7]

About Tropical Melt

Caley Cosmetics Tropical Melt is an excellent multi-tasker to address wrinkles, acne, discoloration, and acne. Apply this multi-tasking balm to damp skin and use it as a cleanser, makeup remover, mask, or leave-on treatment. We love the retinol results AND how skin still feels so supple, hydrated, and smooth!
