People close to
me know very well that I’m an organic junkie. Especially when it comes to
beauty products. I was in college when I discovered the benefits of using
natural products (which I will share
later). Since then, I always make sure I have something like that in my
cart.
Every time I
use such, I feel safe and not worried about chemicals that I am taking in or
putting in my body. And it’s been my advocacy to promote its goodness.
Here’s the list
of my favorite Filipino Organic beauty products: (arranged alphabetically)
Human
Nature
Is
the most family friendly brand among the list, because of its wide range of
products. Aside from beauty stuff, they have also for kids and men.
Personal pick: Natural night moisturizer
w/ Jojoba & plant collagen
Just
can’t go to sleep without this. Our skin is on its reparative state while we
sleep.
So
moisturizing at night is one of the best and effective way to keep it
beautiful.
What
I love most about this product is that, unlike other facial creams, it is very
light weight. Its main ingredients which is Jojoba oil, keeps my skin
moisturized and acne free. While plant collagen, helps in fighting wrinkles for
a much youthful glow.
Ilog
Maria
If
Queen Bey will build her hive in the Philippines, it must be here! Ilog Maria
is a honeybee farm in Silang, Cavite. It also has a museum and shop where their
products are available. What Ilog Maria’s products made special is not just it
is organic. But because of its 2 distinct ingredients. What else? Beeswax and honey! Which is scientifically
proven to be effective in treating skin problems.
Personal
pick: Lavender and honey soap
Nothing
is more relaxing than a warm bath with a scent of Lavender. Add it up with the
sweetness and moisturizing effect of honey, then, you’re in heaven! It
nourishes my skin while it melts my stress away.
Milea
This
family business started when the owner’s son had a skin asthma. That’s the time
when she decided to create her own creams and soaps. Later, she took formal
studies in and out of the country and made it as a business. Milea’s products
is all natural with Virgin coconut oil as their main ingredient which is known
for its many healing and nourishing benefits.
Personal
pick: Papaya enzyme soap
Let’s
be honest. Most Filipinas are obsessed with whitening products. And that
includes me! ;) I can’t see anything wrong on having desire to have a fairer
skin. But I believe we have to do it the safest way possible. There are many
whitening products in the market that makes skin dry and dull. Whitening your
skin is nice but nourishing is nicer. Nourishing your skin first is the most
important. Fair skin is nothing if it is dull or dry and unhealthy.
Milea’s
soaps are made of 100% organic virgin coconut oil which is known as one of the
best moizturizers. While Papaya enzyme, especially the green one, is proven to
lighten skin while keeping it healthy. After bathing I can feel my skin is
softer and smoother.
But
I have to warn you, if you want to achieve whiter skin immediately or within a
short period time, I suggest try to look for other products in the market that
could possibly do that. Because using natural or organic products takes longer
time to take effect in skin. That’s why it must be used consistently.
Snoe
Snoe is a partly organic brand and is
known for its unique products and cool packaging. Imagine a BB cream made of
wasabe and lavender! Or a face mask called “Awesome Poresome”! Cool right? It
also has a wide range of products from bathing essentials, body and facial
moisturizers, make-up and hair care.
Personal pick: Star night Star bright
facial toner
tone, it also conditions
your skin before moisturizing for quick absorption of nutrients. Star Night Star bright toner do a lot of
wonders to my skin. It effectively whitens my skin while eliminating dark and
pimple marks. It also minimizes pores keeping my face look firmer and younger.
Thanks to its wonder ingredients like Acai berry and Mulberry extracts which
are known as powerful anti-oxidants. And Retinol, known for revitalizing skin,
giving me that much youthful glow.
Zenutrients
This
brand started by bottling and selling Virgin coconut oil. Then they diverged
out to selling massage oils. It was a big hit, so they decided to expand their
business by selling soaps and other beauty products. It is export quality and
proudly Philippine made.
Personal
pick: Soothing eye cream
Most
girls disregard the skin around the eye area which is a big NO for me.
Remember, it can be clearly seen how stressful you are, just by looking in your
eyes. Saggy and dark skin also makes us look older so we have to take extra
effort in taking care of the skin around our eye area.
Zenutrients’
soothing eyecream is a rich cream with botanical enzymes which effectively
works underneath the skin layer of eyes. It also relaxes sensitive eye muscles
and improves skin elasticity to avoid wrinkles.
There
you go! Hope you learned a lot and gave you extra help to keep yourself
beautiful especially with this scourging heat of summer. Stay pretty!
