Earthwise Beauty

As anyone who has ever struggled with their skin knows, finding a product that truly works can be life changing. The best part of our job is hearing from customers who have, after years of suffering, been able to finally heal their skin once and for all with our products. We were thrilled to recently get one such review from Diana, for whom Yasuni Face Balm turned out to be a "miracle in a jar." She writes:

"I have struggled for years with huge pores and blackheads on my nose, T-zone and cheeks that would trigger my trypophobia and cause embarassment and self consciousness. I've tried retinol, peptides, acids, and clay masks without success or [that] made it worse, and felt like the only solution was to get expensive laser treatments to have flawless skin. I came across this balm feeling skeptical, but decided to try it because of positive reviews I saw online. Before bed, I applied a rice-sized amount on my problem areas after cleansing. The next day, upon rubbing my nose, I felt blackhead clogs coming out! And there was no flakiness or dehydration as a result of overexfoliation or clay masks! Three weeks later, I can confidently say that the balm keeps my blackhead areas 70% clear, with the remaining 30% cleared with a little cleansing oil massage once a week. I looked at side-by-side selfies of my pores today vs. 3 weeks ago, and my pictures today look like I've applied some type of filter! My blackheads are gone, and my pores are much smaller. I will never be without this balm from now on. Despite the price tag, this is worth every penny because it will likely last several months. A little actually does go a long way because its an oil-based balm, and you need less than a pea-sized amount. I can now say goodbye to wasting time and money on trying serums and creams that don't work."

Our Ambrosia do Cerrado Liquid Moisturizer and Nap in the Meadow Face Serum are both lightweight, aloe-based hydrating formulas, so what sets them apart from one another?

Ambrosia contains a mix of brightening, glow-inducing fruit and seed oils that deliver a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients to the skin. Because it contains no emulsifiers or essential oils, Ambrosia is suitable for even the most sensitive skin. It is light enough to hydrate acne-prone and oily skin types without the risk of breakouts and without creating a heavy or oily feel. For dry and normal skin types, meanwhile, it makes an excellent first hydrating step and can be followed by a richer facial oil or cream. Ambrosia has a vibrant, sunny color and a very light fruity scent, making it an energizing and refreshing way to start the day.

Nap in the Meadow, meanwhile, has a beautiful light blue color and a peaceful, calming energetic effect. With its lavender, yarrow, Italian everlasting, German blue chamomile, and geranium oils, Nap provides powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiaging benefits, and can even help to balance the skin, reduce acne, and repair sun damage. The formula also includes a variety of handmade wildflower essences that add a layer of energetic healing to the serum, offering a sense of protection and resilience. Nap does contain essential oils, but we find that most people with sensitive skin or skin allergies are able to tolerate it well. While it works well on all skin types, we especially recommend it for those with dry and dehydrated, mature, acne, combination, and oily skin.
