I've been using this brand of PUFA-aware skin care for over four years - it feels weird saying that because I cannot believe it's been that long! I have several deep dives on the products that I'll link at the end, which I recommend checking out! You really get the full story of my experience with the evolution of her product line. So, I needed some refills and also wanted to try some new items. Here's what I got:
Matcha Shampoo Bar - Before I get into the ingredients, this is a syndet bar which means, "Unlike traditional soap, this bar has not been saponified, meaning no lye was used in its creation. Instead, it’s carefully formulated as a solid shampoo bar using gentle, plant-based surfactants, the same type of cleansing agents found in today's liquid shampoos."
This was my first time using a shampoo bar and I don't know why I was so hesitant. I had it in my cabinet for about two months before I tried it...and there was no need to delay! It is so frothy and not as strange to use as I thought it would be. With a double wash, it lathers more than anything I've ever experienced and gives a squeaky clean feeling. I did use conditioner afterwards and it was just as easy to comb out as some other shampoo and conditioners (link coming soon) I've been thoroughly testing out over the last two years. I will definitely be buying it again. Also, can we just talk about the nice exfoliating feeling I get on my hands when I use it?! Thank you, Stephanie!
Ingredients: Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate*, Coco Glucoside*, Cetearyl Alcohol**, Stearic Acid**, Tucuma Butter, Tapioca flour, Suet Tallow, Glycerin, D-panthenol, Matcha Tea *Plant based surfactants **Derived from natural fats and oils
Purely Potent (Vitamin C Serum) - This is a daily staple in my skin care routine and has been for a bit now. I share more about here.
Ingredients: Organic Simmondsia, Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil,, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, (Non-Oxidizing Vitamin C), Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E)
Mature Skin Kit - This comes with two of my daily staples and one of my regulars! And, in the bundle, it's 10% off!
Pearl Polish - I use this a couple times a week on my face and almost every time I shave (which is less than a couple times a week - haha!). It's my favorite exfoliant and I love how effective yet gentle it is. I mix it with Chamomile Cleansing Gel when exfoliating and couple it with washing my face or with this enzyme cleanser when shaving (affiliate code: SATIATEDBLONDE).
Ingredients: Bambusa Arundinacea (Bamboo) Stem Extract*, Pearl Powder*, Boswellia Carterii (Boswellic) Extract**, Allantoin*
Golden Yolk - This is a part of my daily routine, and has been for a couple years now. I share more about it in this post (please note, here it's referred to as genesis balm, before it got renamed).
Ingredients: Olive Squalane**, AEA Certified Emu Oil, Limnanthes Alba (meadowfoam) Seed Oil**, Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn Berry) Fruit Oil*, Grass-Fed Ghee*, Crocus Sativus (Rumi Saffron)*, Paeonia Lactiflora (Peony) Root*, Pearl**, Colostrum*, Pastured Egg Yolk*, Lanolin, Fresh Beesswax Cappings*, Vitamin E
New Moon- Besides the Tallow Body Oil, I think this one smells the best (I don't notice much smell with the others, to be honest - which I actually prefer). I ran out of this for awhile and am glad it's back in my rotation now! This is their "Intensive Aging Serum" that is "free from essential oils, seed oils, and synthetic fragrances, it offers pure botanical strength in every drop."
Ingredients: squalane**, boswellia carterii (frankincense) resin*, boswellia carterii (boswellic acid) extract*, pearl powder, theobroma cacao (cacao) extract*
Tallow Beauty Balm - This is a daily staple that I put on after everything else to seal in the goodness! I also ofter use it on my lips/outside of them after brushing my teeth or before and after sun exposure. I share about this in this post, if you want to read more!
Ingredients: grass-fed tallow*, jojoba oil*, tucuma butter*, frankincense resin*, boswellic extract*, calendula flowers*, chamomile flowers*, rose blossoms*, untreated cocoa butter*, fresh beeswax cappings
Tallow Lip Balm - I'm so glad she brought the smaller sizes back. It's so nice to have one fit easily in my purse. This may be a little weird, but I use it on my lips, face, or hands - whatever I need!
Ingredients: Grass-Fed Tallow*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil*, Astrocaryum Vulgare (Tucuma) Butter*, Boswellia caterii (Frankincense) Resin*, Boswellia caterii (Boswellic) Extract*, Calendula Officinalis (Calendula) Flowers*, Matricaria Chamomilla (Chamomile) Flowers*, Rosa Damascena (Rose) Blossoms*, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Butter*, Beeswax) Cappings*.
Tallow Body Oil - You better believe I got two of these. I use it after the shower for regular breast massage and love it after shaving. It's surprisingly not oily and smells so good! I share more about it here.
Ingredients: Simmondsia, Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil**, Grass-Fed Suet Tallow**, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Butter**, Astrocaryum (Tucuma) Butter**, Cera Alba (USA Beeswax)
Besides the matcha bar, the key for the ingredients are: EcoCert** or Organic*.
