Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser Review

Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser – Review

I was introduced to Sibu Beauty when I won a giveaway in January by the lovely Theresa of DearCreatives.com!  Before this, I had never heard of Sea Buckthorn, or any of its benefits. It’s quickly making the news and Sibu Beauty’s popularity has soared, especially since their recent magazine press. Here’s what Sibu Beauty’s all about:

Bruce McMullin founded Sibu in 2003 after series of events led him to Calcutta, India where he crossed paths with an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs. In passing, this expert mentioned a powerful holy fruit, the Sea Buckthorn berry.

The sea buckthorn berry fortifies itself against the elements by producing an array of powerful nutrients. Known as the “beauty berry” across Europe and Asia, sea buckthorn contains over 190 bioactive compounds that restore, revitalize, and protect youthful beauty – from the inside-out AND outside-in.

With over 190 bioactive compounds, sea buckthorn is an unsurpassed source of Omegas 3, 6, and 9. And it’s a rich source of the elusive essential fatty acid, Omega-7, an essential fatty acid vital to collagen production and healthy skin, hair and nails.

Sea buckthorn sounds like a pretty amazing fruit, so I was really excited to try this cleanser out! I mean, it has the elusive Omega-7 – who’s really heard of Omega-7? It’s always 3, 6 and 9. After doing a tad of research, it seems like macadamia nuts also have omega-7, so could you imagine a facial serum with both macadamia and sea buckthorn oil? Oooh.

So. Anyway. Off to the review! Above is the consistency. It’s your average gel-like thickness – not too runny, yet not so thick it feels like slimy blobs. It forms a very light foam, and has tiny, tiny micro-particles for super-gentle exfoliation. The cleanser smelled like slightly like oranges – it had a very fresh, clean citrus inspired scent, which I’ll assume is the sea buckthorn berry. I like it a lot – definitely feels great after a long day.

Sibu Beauty Balancing Facial Cleanser does a great job dissolving oil and removing makeup, and deep cleans very thoroughly. As with most natural beauty products, you don’t need a lot of product to gain the full benefits – a tiny squirt will do for your face and neck. The light lather rinsed easily, leaving my skin squeaky clean and definitely oil-free. In fact, I think it cleans a bit too well- my cheeks and forehead felt a little dry, and I have normal skin. Regardless, I did notice my skin looking bright and I felt refreshed.

Out of curiosity, I decided to wash my hands with it after applying moisturizer, and it did a fab job at that as well! My hands ended up cleaner without any residue, unlike some soaps I’ve been using lately.

Sibu Beauty’s cleanser is an excellent face wash and definitely does its job well. I’d caution against using it if you have dry skin, as it may be too drying for you. Should be fine for oily skin, though. This is a great back-up cleanser for me, and I still use it when my face feels particularly grimy or after a sweaty workout.

The Top 12 Natural Beauty Secrets From Hawaii and Polynesia

Hawai’i – often seen as paradise and the ultimate place to relax and indulge in an exotic, tropical experience – and that’d be right! Some of you may know that I’m originally from O’ahu, Hawai’i (but currently reside in Southern California). This is the sole source of my heavy bias and love for tropical scents, coconuts, fruits and exotic fragrances. :)

The women of Hawai’i often have long, flowing dark hair, golden tanned skin, and wear shorts and slippers (or flip-flops) all day. I know I certainly did (and still do)! With the beautiful weather there, why wear anything else? Many local women also used traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian plants, food and flowers from the kai (sea) and ‘aina (land) to maintain their beauty, such as kukui nut oil, aloe, Hawaiian sea salt, and fruit enzymes to naturally maintain their raw beauty.

Today, I’ll tell you about the most common ingredients used there and in Polynesia, as well as some suggestions for natural or organic beauty products that use them to implement in your routine. Take a vacation from the ordinary and do what the locals do – Pomaika’i!

Kukui Nut Oil (Aleurites moluccana) 

The Kukui is Hawai’i's state tree, so it’s a pretty big deal there. In ancient Hawai’i, they were burned to provide light. Besides being fortified with essential fatty acids, Vitamins A, C, E and antioxidants, it’s versatile and works equally well on skin and hair. This thick oil is also a rich emollient and very moisturizing, and an effective treatment for acne, dry skin conditions, scars, eczema, psoriasis and dry hair & scalp. Kukui nut oil makes a wonderful base, doesn’t irritate the eyes, penetrates the skin and absorbs quickly, and is great for all skin types.

Try:

• Russell Organics Kukui Nut Oil – $18.00
• Hawaiian bath & Body Scented Kukui Nut Oil – $12.00 – $30.00
• Alba Botanica Deep Moisturizing Kukui Nut Body Cream – $13.99

Noni (Morinda citrifolia)

The noni is a tree in the coffee family, and currently cultivated in the tropics and topical climates. The juice and pulp is sold everywhere and touted for it’s multiple health and medicinal benefits such as stimulating the immune system and its antibacterial, analgesic and antiseptic properties, but it’s also very beneficial for skin and hair when applied directly. The antibacterial aspects help with acne and serves as a natural astringent, mixed in creams and oils it helps nourish dry skin, and it’s also great for dry, itchy scalps.

Try:

• Organic Rosehip Skincare Noni Cream – $40.00
• Noni Island Herbals Healing Oil of Noni - $19.95 – 29.95
• Kohana Bath and Body Hawaiian Noni Lip Balm – $4.75

Awapuhi (Zingiber zerumbet)

Awapuhi, or Hawaiian ginger, is a very fragrant flower that originated in India, but is now found in many tropical countries and climates. It’s most popularly used for shampoo and conditioner formulas. The clear slimy juice present in the mature flower heads is excellent for softening and bringing shininess to the hair. It can be left in the hair or rinsed out. The juice is also excellent for massages. Awapuhi’s softening properties have also been used in skin care, and is believed to lighten dark spots.

• Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash—Original – $9.29
• Red and Rio Botanicals Awapuhi and Tahitian Monoi Sea Salt Scrub – $6.00

Tamanu Oil (Calophyllum Inophyllum)

One of the South Pacific island’s best kept secrets is now reaching mainstream attention. Tamanu oil is cold-pressed from the kernel of the tamanu tree for both skin and hair products, or on its own. Tamanu has a rich, spicy scent. It’s been known to help clear skin problems such as acne and subsequent scarring, wrinkles, age spots, dry, scaly skin, stretch marks, eczema, and body/foot odor. Tamanu oil absorbs quickly into the skin and rejuvenates it with extra antioxidant properties.

The beauty benefits of coffee are not new to most of us natural beauty fans.  However,  Kona Coffee is unique in that it’s the only coffee grown in the United States with the rich volcanic soil on the Big Island. The caffiene in Kona coffee improves skin texture,  neutralize free radicals and removes puffiness and swelling, and its antioxidant rich qualities protects skin against the environment.

Tropical Fruit Enzymes 

Pineapples, papayas, mangoes, passionfruit, guava, and bananas are some of the most common tropical fruits used as body and face masks when sliced and smushed into pulp. Pineapples contain bromelain, an enzyme that can break down dry, dead skin cells and promote softer,smoother skin. Papayas have papain, an enzyme that helps to rebuild the elastin of the skin and prevent wrinkling. It’s also known to naturally brighten skin. Bananas can soften, heal and nourish skin, and mango butter is easily absorbent and a great moisturizer. Passionfruit enzymes help acne-prone skin by serving as an astringent, removing oil and softening skin with gentle exfoliation. Guava enzymes and extracts contain lycopene, an antioxidant thought to  prevent skin damage from UV rays and the harsh environment. All of these enzymes also serve as gentle exfoliants.

• Bryce Organics Jamaican Papaya Enzyme Facial Peel Masque – $41.00

Coconut (Cocos nucifera)

Coconuts are also nothing new with the natural beauty enthusiast. It’s oil has been used in the tropics for centuries, naturally moisturizing and keeping skin and hair soft and supple. While not normally used on the face, it can be safely used from head to toe and is an efficient substitute for expensive conditioners, lotions, and body oils that perform the same function. On the hair, it can be used as a pre-wash conditioner, hot oil treatment, and on dry hair as a finisher. Plus, it smells delicious and literally defines the tropics! The lauric acid in coconuts helps the body produce a compound that exhibit antiviral, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties.

The natural unprocessed sea salt found from the oceans of Hawai’i is used for both cooking and personal care purposes. Sea salt is therapeutic and is excellent when used as a bath soak, or in conjunction with Epsom salts. They’re also used to make homemade scrubs for grainy, highly abrasive exfoliation.

The clay makes a great mud detoxifying treatment for the body, or a clay mask for the face to refine texture, mildly exfoliate, and minimize pores.

Try:

• Life’s Abundance Revitalizing Clay Mask – $24.95

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera grows in many tropical climates and has been used for skin, internally and as an herbal remedy for centuries among many civilizations. The gel is a common base for natural beauty products, such as lotions, creams, cleansers, lip balms and body washes. From the leaf, the thick gel is used directly on cuts and bug bites to help disinfect and heal, and is also used directly on skin to deal with acne, psoriasis and eczema. It’s even used to sooth sunburns naturally.

Try:

• Aubrey Organics Pure Aloe Vera Gel - $7.95
• Lavera FACES Aloe Vera Cleansing Milk – $19.00

Macadamia Nut Oil (Macadamia integrifolia)

Macadamia nuts are a popular island snack (it’s best with chocolate!), but their seeds also produce a wonderfully emollient oil. Macadamia trees are widely grown and cultivated on the Hawaiian islands. The oil is used for both cooking and personal care, and consists of palmitic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and oleic acid. Macadamia nut oil has a silky texture, which makes it a popular addition to lotions and creams. It also boasts a long shelf life. Macadamia nut oil penetrates the skin deeply and quickly to provide instant hydration and promotes cell turnover. Dry, mature skin can benefit greatly from this oil as it helps improves skin texture and minimizes the appearance of fine lines. On the hair, it strengthens strands and leaves them looking silky.

Try:

• Pai Skincare Macadamia Rose & Biorejuvenate Cream – $47.00
• Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Reconstructive Elixir Spray – $9.99
• Aura Cacia Organic Macadamia Nut Oil - $10.99

Inspired to try the local’s way of staying beautiful?

These ingredients and treatments are used island wide at home or in fancy spas,  and it’s easy to replicate at home. Try getting products that smell like the tropics to enhance the experience (my personal favorites are fruits, coconuts, plumeria or ginger), and you’ll see why it’s so easy to relax when you visit the Islands!

Blissoma by Irie Star Restore Deep Moisture Oil Serum and Skin Care Review

Blissoma by Irie Star Restore Deep Moisture Oil Serum and Skin Care – Review

The award-winning Blissoma by Irie Star brand is a spa quality set of skin care products by Julie Longyear, Creative Chemist and Founder. I love the values and meaning behind the brand, which is best described by Julie herself:

Irie Star is the creative and production source of Blissoma botanically active skincare, herbal therapies, and artisan perfumes.  We are endorsed by natural estheticians for functional, elegant, nutritive formulas and a true dedication to purity, efficacy, and honesty.

Blissoma is the elegant marriage of herbal form and function, created by the explorative mind of a scientific artist. When right brain meets left the result is botanical innovations that really work. I am proud to bring you the result of nearly a decade of my life’s work exploring the healing and enhancing possibilities of plants.

Blissoma is different because our ingredients and our formulas are different. We have chosen to work with a much stricter ingredient palette than even most “natural” brands. An initial feel of our products demonstrates the difference as the texture, color, and smell all distinctly tell the story of the nutritive ingredients contained therein.

You can trust our line because we control all production for all Blissoma products. This ensures the uniqueness of our recipes and the absolute purity of the final product. All ingredients are declared on our labels and nothing is hidden. We manufacture our own herb extracts and even juice fresh organic produce directly from local fields. Everything is made by myself and my production manager Frank Wilderspin.

You can definitely feel the quality, cleanliness and difference with Blissoma. The products are potent and ingredients are about as natural as you can get. The textures, colors and smells are definitely more botanical and earthy than other brands, and you can just feel the nutrients seeping through your pores when you apply them to your skin. The transparency, honesty and care is obvious, and I trust Julie’s brand 110%. :)

She has generously provided a few products for me to sample and review for you today. Below are detailed reviews of each product I received.

Restore Deep Moisture Oil Serum: I love the unique scent! It’s sweet, sour, green, earthy and just.. unique and pleasant all at the same time. I’ve never smelled anything like it, but it’s just so green and reminds me of sitting under a tall tree in a lush forest. The oil itself is super lightweight and green in color due to the chlorophyll.

I’m amazed at how many oils Julie managed to get in this miracle serum. If there’s a skin issue you’re having, there’s probably something in the Restore serum that addresses it. It’s highly absorbent thanks to the organic cranberry seed and grapeseed oil (it also adds one of my fave skin ingredients, Vitamin E!) For an anti-aging kick, you get Organic Rosehip oil and Seabuckthorn Berry, which has Vitamin A to “help you build collagen and fight fine lines.”

For added skin benefits and versatility, Restore Serum has Organic Evening Primrose and Pomegranate Oil are rich in omega 5, 6, and 9 essential fatty acids including GLA. This helps to balance hormones, leaving it suitable for both dry mature skin and as an occasional treatment for younger skin racked with hormones (like mine).

But wait – there’s more! :)

Organic hemp oil, packed with phytonutrients, and organic tamanu and red raspberry oils provide additional sun protection and skin healing benefits. Tamanu oil is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and possesses regenerative properties. For cell regeneration, you can thank Calendula CO2, a uniquely potent supercritical extract.

I used this on my entire face for the first two days, then just on my chin since it had a mild case of seborrhoeic dermatitis there. It was really dry and flaky, and I’ve never had that before! Two days of Restore brought it way down, but it was combining the mask, serum and Peace evening facial creme that got rid of it completely. Yes, as of today (over a week later) it’s still gone. I’m healed!

I’m still bowing to the bottle.

Adaptive Energy Tonique: I used this refreshing toner after washing my face by lightly misting my forehead, each cheek, my nose, chin and neck. Even without refrigeration, it’s naturally cool, and it does feel like a clean burst of nutrients and botanicals being absorbed readily by my skin. The melon aroma smells great (I’ve so far had so-so experiences with natural toners) but this one works great.

I can see this feeling great after a good face scrub session, or even a a pick-me-up during the day.

Peace – Evening Facial Creme: This has a very clean, fancy, luxurious, zenlike scent. It reminds me of sitting in an expensive spa, surrounded by the sound of gentle water streams and Enya music. You know, the service that costs hundreds for an hour of pure bliss? Yeah – that’s the vibe I get just from the scent! I guess the name fits the experience! I applied the cream to this dry patch I had on my chin, and it soothed and moisturized the area immediately. It was at least 70% less dry, and the flakes were gone. That’s just from one application.

Smooths on clear and absorbs very quickly. I love lotions that get right down to it! Having to spend even an extra few seconds rubbing annoys me to no end.

After 5 days of that and the Restore serum, my dry patch is completely gone. A huge deal for me since it seemed like nothing else was really working. They weren’t nourishing enough. My skin definitely woke up softer than usual in the morning after using this all over. A marvelous product! I still use it nightly since I only need a few dabs.

Smooth A+ Moisture Serum: Smooth is a very lightweight, yet creamy serum that absorbs and cools your skin. It helped calm my mild acne down and kept it at bay as well. I’m mainly using it on my cheeks, chin and on a stubborn acne scar, and I can honestly say it’s helped keep my skin relax and not go nuts when my hormones do during my period.

I use this when staying indoors all day so I didn’t need SPF. My usual spot treatment is a very strong 10% benzoyl peroxide gel, but I’ve been using this instead and it’s helped quite a bit. While the benzoyl zaps it quick. it’s also very drying. Smooth A+ actually does make my skin feel smooth, while attacking mild acne bumps and using herbs and natural extracts to fight it below the surface.

Normal to oily skin could use it alone. Dry skin can use it in conjunction with their usual moisturizer.

Very suitable for oily skin as it’s so light. Uses jojoba oil as the moisturizer so it won’t clog pores. And yes, the Rose/Bergamot/Frankincense scent is incredible and like the other products in the Blissoma Skin Care set, it’s very fresh, clean and suitable for any taste. You have to be one picky person to not like it.

Overall, a definite hit. A great serum to pull out just before you know acne may hit to keep it away. Small red bumps on my cheek went away in a day or two with regular use, so this works!

Refine Clay Renewal Treatment: Ohhhhhh my. This was my first experience with rhassoul clay, and I am head over heels. Using this clay treatment felt like being pampered. Like I’m the Queen of.. my own fantasy country and I have an esthetician on call and get clay mask treatments with the snap of my fingers.. I mean, if I had a life like that, this would be the treatment. :)

Cleansed my pores and felt like it was getting all the gunk out. Pairs well with my scrub! Smells like fresh clay, the kind you may see at an expensive spa. Feels cool on the skin, and doesn’t dry my face until it cracks (like some other clay masks I’ve tried in the past.) In fact, I left it in for longer than the recommended 15 and after rinsing it with warm water, I felt seriously renewed.

I’m telling you, Blissoma not only lives up to its name, but it’s all luxury spa quality stuff – and you can get it for a quarter of the price right at home!

My conclusion

I am super satisfied with ALL the products and am pleasantly surprised that they all worked so well on my skin. There is nothing questionable or brow raising about the ingredients, and I’m positive they will work for your skin issues, too. If anything, get the Refine clay treatment and Restore serum to start.

Rhassoul clay is now a permanent part of my skin care arsenal thanks to this introduction, and so is the Refine Renewal Clay Treatment. However, Irie Star also offers facial cleansers, gentle facial soaps, lots of moisturizers, toners, cremes, perfumes, deodorant, lip balm, yoga mat cleanser, spray-on lotions, soy candles, and travel sets to try. Whew! They may even be at a Whole Foods or organic store near you.
