Waterless Beauty


Waterless Beauty is cosmetic or skincare products that do not contain water in their formulations. Waterless Beauty also known as anhydrous beauty.

Water (or aqua) is typically the first ingredient seen on product ingredient lists, sometimes comprising more than half of the product volume.

Instead of water, Waterless Beauty uses oils, ferments, butters and oil-soluble active ingredients.

This creates a more eco-conscious and highly effective product.

Here are some of our favorite Waterless Beauty skincare and beauty products.

Zero Boring Ingredients: Earth Wise Beauty Passion Eye Serum

May 4, 2021 · 3 Comments

EARTH WISE PASSION EYE SERUM is an organic, wild-crafted, unscented, silky eye serum boasting zero boring ingredients. It has amaranth, passionfruit, and rosehip seed oils, plus sea buckthorn berry CO2 extract, murumuru butter, and Brazil nut. It deeply hydrates the delicate eye area skin.

Why Passion Eye Serum is Special

Small batch and wildcrafted, Earth Wise Beauty Passion Eye Serum promotes collagen and skin elasticity while deeply hydrating eye skin. Yet it doesn’t irritate the skin.

And despite some aromatic wildcrafted ingredients, there is no scent to set off sensitivities. I love Rosehip benefits but can rarely tolerate the aroma around my eyes. Passion Eye Serum managed to use some ingredients that typically are overwhelmingly fragrant.

By their natural extraction methods, Earth Wise gets the best out of these organic ingredients without the olfactory wallop. The result is a serum that delivers an exceptional product that can be used by highly sensitive skin types.

The Passion Eye Serum Experience

Passion Eye Serum is notably silky.

This lovely deep golden hue, dense oil is dispensed from a bubble top dropper.

Just a drop is enough for the skin around the orbital area of both eyes. It is not at all sticky or tacky.

It absorbs well and dries down smoothly without being greasy. Skin feels bouncy and looks dewy. Regular use promotes skin firmness. We love that it is unscented! It comes in two sizes, I wish we got the larger bottle.

Just a drop of EARTH WISE PASSION EYE SERUM treats the skin around both eyes.

Raspberries to the Rescue
Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil

February 3, 2021 · 3 Comments

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil is a beauty trifecta. This golden oil goes on dry and works as a finishing oil to seal in your nighttime skincare. It contains three powerful beauty oils that increase collagen and soothe irritation. These oils boast unique fatty acids profiles, contain tons of nutrients and vitamins, and rejuvenate deeper layers of the skin.
Kat Burki Power Trio Oil

Kat Burki Power Trio radiance oil contains raspberry seed oil

 

Kat Burki Power Trio Oil is Step No. 5 In The Kat Burki 5 Essential Steps For Healthy Skin. It still imparts impressive results when used alone.

What We Love About It

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil gets the job done with a combination of just three oils. There are no additives and it is not watered down. A little bit goes a long way.
Kat Burki Power Trio Oil is a combo of three oils including raspberry seed oil

Kat Burki Power Trio Oil is a combo of three oils including raspberry seed oil

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil uses Raspberry seed oil which is filled with skin nourishing, collagen-building nutrients. It is gentle yet effective in addressing many skin issues.

Kat Burki uses raspberry for collagen building

Let’s take a look at the amazing properties of these three oils:

Ingredient Profile


Raspberry Oil is rich in Ellagic acid, a wrinkle-reducing polyphenol compound

Raspberry Oil is rich in Ellagic acid, a wrinkle-reducing polyphenol compound


Red Raspberry Seed Oil

Red Raspberry Seed Oil moisturizes the skin, improves elasticity, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines. It contains multiple vitamins and nutrients that are wonderful for the skin.

Raspberry Oil is rich in Ellagic acid, a wrinkle-reducing polyphenol compound

Raspberry

Red Raspberry Seed Oil contains phytosterols. Phytosterols promote new collagen production.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil is rich in ellagic acid and has been shown to reduce the destruction of collagen, reduce wrinkles as well as protect against Ultraviolet damage from the sun. [1] Ellagic acid is also a natural moisture sealant.

Red Raspberry seed oil has a high Vitamin E content. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant, it reduces skin damage and removes free radicals that contribute to skin aging.

Red raspberry seed oil contains a high amount of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids.

Raspberry Seed Oil contains Salicylic Acid to tackle adult acne and build collagen.

kukui Nut Oil

Aleurites moluccanus, also known as candlenut or kukui nut.

This oil can do something unusual: it can penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. This is especially exciting since it also helps promote collagen production. The deeper the skin can make collagen, the firmer it looks.

It is a dry oil yet is highly emollient and creates a protective layer.

Rich in Omega-3s, it replenishes fleshly washed skin after the irritation of cleansers and makeup removers.

It contains skin-refining vitamins A, C, and E.  A and C can be harsh on the skin, but Kukui Nut has such great softening and buffering properties that it makes C and A accessible to those with sensitive skin or skin conditions like eczema.

It reduces inflammation, treats wounds and burns, and soothes conditions like eczema.

tamanu oil

Tamanu Oil is called Green Gold because of its’ versatile skin and hair beauty uses. The oil comes from the Tamanu Tree found in Polynesia.

Tamanu

Tamanu

Tamanu oil is used for cosmetic and topical applications. It is primarily used where anti-inflammatory properties are beneficial. Tamanu Oil research supports using Tamanu Oil for the healing of burns, scars, and some skin diseases. [2]

Both anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, Tamanu Oil is used for skin conditions such as:

  • acne scars
  • burns
  • eczema
  • psoriasis
  • flaky, scaly or dry skin.

Tamanu Oilhas a unique fatty acid profile. It has an unusual fatty acid called calophyllic acid. There are few studies on Calophyllum (calophyllic acid). But studies do exist, and there are enough to give credence to the skin healing ability of Tamanu Oil. Various studies verified the wound healing, safety, and antibacterial properties of Calophyllum [3,4]. This supports the anecdotal reports of the skin improvement seen with the traditional use of Tamanu Oil for at least scars, burns, and stretch marks.

Tamanu Oil comes from the nuts of the Tamanu Tree

The Experience

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil is not watery but not thick. It is more of a dry oil feel.

It spreads well and leaves skin with a non-sticky, non-greasy glow. Seals in skincare products without pilling.

It only takes a few drops to cover the face, throat, and upper decolletage.

I can smell the Kukui nut but it dissipates after a few minutes. Once it dries down it doesn’t stain my pillowcase.

My skin is softer and seems clearer and more refined in the morning after use. The tone on my neck looks better. It locks in moisture even on moisture-robbing hot nights with air conditioning.

Improve Dark Circles with BeautyStat Universal C Eye Perfector

December 30, 2020 · Leave a Comment

I’ve had dark circles since grade school. When I don’t wear concealer, my dark circles make concerned friends ask if I am sick or tired.  And even with concealer, I can never truly cover them.  If you suffer from dark circles, consider giving BeautyStat Universal Eye Perfector a try.
BeautyStat Universal C Eye Perfector

BeautyStat Universal C Eye Perfector

Dark circles are caused by many things: allergies, hereditary, facial structure, and leaking capillaries. Sun damage and discoloration makes all those problems look even worse. Unfortunately, there isn’t much that can help dark circles.

But BeautyStat Universal Eye Perfector combines 5% Vitamin C with Hemp, Green Tea, Hyaluronic Acid, caffeine, and magnolia to get results. You will note this formula does not contain water. Water often appears as the first ingredient in many Vitamin C creams, and can dilute otherwise powerful actives. BeautyStat Universal Eye Perfector is waterless beauty,


In four weeks, 71% of users showed improvement in under-eye discoloration (dark circles)

The Research behind BeautyStat

In an independent clinical study, users were assessed with a Visia CR Imaging System. The results:

  • 90% showed improvement in crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles.
  • 81% showed improvement in skin clarity.
  • 84% had improved skin brightness.
  • 71% showed improvement in under-eye discoloration (dark circles)

BeautyStat Universal C Eye Perfector Ingredients

How does this dark circle corrector work? Check out the ingredient list:

The Ingredients


Beauty Stat uses a stable form of Vitamin C for superior results

Beauty Stat uses a stable form of Vitamin C for superior results

Vitamin C

A potent 5% pure stabilized vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid). It is fresh and concentrated. L-ascorbic acid is a vitamin C that can be applied as a topical skin treatment.

Vitamin C is the only antioxidant proven to stimulate collagen production.

CBD Oil comes from Cannabis Sativa

Hemp Oil

Hemp Oil

Hemp Seed Oil is high in Omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. It is also high in Vitamins A, E, and D.

Hemp Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp Seed Oil doesn’t contain the same compounds as the plant but has the nutrients and fatty acids.

It reduces acne while hydrating the skin. This helps soothe skin.

Flowering Camellia Sinensis

Flowering Camellia Sinensis or Green Tea

EGCG

EGCG comes from Green Tea. 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.

ECCG also soothes skin to help tolerate powerful actives like Vitamin C.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and increases the effectiveness of other ingredients.  Hyaluronic acid holds its’ weight in moisturizer. It holds so much moisture that it instantly plumps fine lines. It plumps the skin, making fine wrinkles and mild sagging temporarily disappear.

Caffeine

Caffeine has antioxidant properties and slows down photo-aging. Caffeine stimulates blood circulation and reduces puffiness.

It is particularly effective on firmness, reducing fine lines and crow’s feet.
