About Farmaesthetics,
Farmaesthetics founder and formulator, Brenda Brock, is the daughter of a 7th generation farming family from Texas. She first made her handmade herbal skincare preparations available to customers in the summer of 1999 at an organic farmstand in rural Rhode Island. Today her full line of 100% natural luxury skincare products are offered in the finest spas and retailers in the world.
A noted trailblazer in "green" beauty, Ms. Brock successfully translated her traditional herbal recipes from "kitchen chemistry" to modern cosmetic manufacturing, resulting in pristine herbal products that retain their 100% natural status yet compare in effectiveness with leading dermatological brands. She was named to TIME MAGAZINE's "Green Style & Design 100: The People & Ideas Behind Today's Most Influential Green Design" and she was named one of "The Purists" in Luxury Spafinder's feature of the "Five Entrepreneurs at the Forefront of the Natural Beauty Revolution".

According to Farmaesthetics,
Milk has been used throughout the ages to enhance beauty. It is well known that even Cleopatra used sweet milk for beautifying and brightening her complexion. Traditional rural cultures have also used sweet milk in beauty treatments, making it as familiar on a dressing table as in the kitchen cupboard. When mixed with our Fine Herbal Cleanser, this pristine herbal exfoliate makes a creamy, freshly fragrant lather that is easily applied, to remove tired skin cells. Gentle enough to use in daily cleansing, or apply weekly as a mask to further the effects of the milk's natural lactic acid to soften, brighten and revive the complexion.
Benefits: Natural lactic acid in dried sweet milk, combined with fine cornmeal and ground flowers/orange peel, provides a gentle exfoliate for the face & décolleté.
Directions: Mix with our Fine Herbal Cleanser and apply in circular motion to face and neck; leave on for as little as 3 minutes to see immediate visible benefits. Use also while bathing &, when time to remove exfoliate from face, splash clean, & then gently slip shoulders beneath water, allowing the sweet milk mixture to become a skin-brightening milk bath.
Ingredients: Dried Powdered Milk*, Fine Yellow Cornmeal & Chamomile Flowers (* indicates certified organic ingredients).
Farmaesthetics Cool Aloe Mist ($26.00 for 4 oz. from Farmaesthetics, Saks Fifth Avenue and Follain): This is a beautiful, multipurpose mist that sets makeup, refreshes the skin any time that you need a little pick-me-up, relieves sunburn, reduces inflammation, and conditions the skin. The wonderful aloe and lavender infusion calms the spirits and gives one a pronounced sense of well-being.
According to Farmaesthetics,
Featured on ABC's The View as a "Beach Bag Must-Have" and voted "Best Post-Workout Skin Freshener" by Fitness Magazine, this simple aloe preparation is a multi-purpose product to restore and protect the skin. Nothing heals or relieves inflamed tissue better than aloe vera and whether from sun-exposure, burns, or exposure to radiation (such as in medical treatments or laser surgery), our Cool Aloe Mist will offer instant relief as well as prevent further drying, peeling, flaking or toughening of skin tissue. Also a noted remedy for hot flashes, this herbal preparation provides immediate relief for the discomforts of hormones in flux.
Aloe has been used since antiquity for its benefits to heal burns and wounds, and recent scientific research has also revealed that aloe has the ability to fight pollution-generating free radicals, as it serves as an effective barrier by activating the body's immune system, triggering detoxification that offsets deterioration of tissue caused by ultraviolet B (UVB) rays & other environmental pollutants.
Benefits:
Toner & Refreshing Skin Re-Hydration Mist for use all over the face & body, at any time to simply refresh & relax. Lavender settles the nerves as well as the skin, while the Bergamot is uplifting.
A Purifying Mist for the skin as well as the air around one's personal space. This herbal combination wards off travel related flu, colds, sinus infections & coughs. Aloe Vera & Lavender together provide moisturizing, anti-bacterial action for the skin & nasal passages, which is important in stale, re-circulated air.
Use:
- Sets Makeup
- A Skin Conditioning Complexion Spray, our Cool Aloe Mist relieves inflammation & discomfort inherent in sunburn, laser surgery, over exposure to the elements, acne, & skin flare-ups, & can even help to regulate oil & dry patchiness.
- Sunburn Remedy - Lavender reduces inflammation, and Aloe Vera rehydrates, while Bergamot disinfects & all together provides a “cooling down” effect.
- Gentle enough for use on the delicate skin of infants, elderly or ill
Farmaesthetics Bug Bite Balm ($15.00 from Farmaesthetics): If ever you seek to scare off biting bugs, then this safe and effective formula is precisely what you are looking for. It is perfect for hikes, walking the dog, or going anywhere you are apt to encounter unwanted bug attention. While the Camphor and Peppermint Oil are assertive, they are likewise pleasant and don't overwhelm the senses. I find the aroma invigorating and altogether refreshing.
According to Farmaesthetics,
No matter how good the bugscreen, there will be the inevitable bite. So when the itch is on, we adhere to the 1-2-3 rule: clean the skin, stop the itch and start the healing response. Our 1-2-3 herbal remedy for bug bites is our Bug Bite Balm, a handy roll-on application of camphor and peppermint essential oils blended with witch hazel to clean, cool and numb the area, increase blood flow which acts as a healing “counterirritant,” and reduce itching and swelling. A simple trifecta of herbal goodness for a quick fix to one of summer’s “inevitables”.
Directions: Apply directly to affected area with roller applicator. Allow to remain on area to cool, calm and numb the sting. And don’t scratch the bite! That will irritate it further.
Ingredients: Witch Hazel, Camphor & Peppermint Essential Oil.
Overall Assessment: Farmaesthetics is a lovely skincare line that deserves your attention. I am so impressed by the three products that I have tried that I most definitely want to further explore this line.

I love the authentic looking packaging as well as their philosophy and ingredients. But I need the Bug Bite Balm now! I went to the beach with a friend a few days ago, and got bitten by a crazed bumblebee. Still itchy and sore after so many days, boo hoo
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same reaction to their packaging! The Bug Bite Balm is definitely really handy for outdoor activities like beach days! Sorry to hear that the bumblebee got you!
DeleteI love the packaging of the exfoliate. Not only does the product sound great but the packaging is just my style.
ReplyDeleteI do too! The packaging is really sensational, and I will keep the jar and bottles and repurpose the because they are too nice to recycle!
DeleteThe rice scrub and mist both look like products I'd love and the packaging is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe Scrub actually uses Milk powder and cornmeal instead of rice. It is really, really lovely! The mist is so pleasant to use, and the aroma of their products is amazing!
DeleteI'm obsessed with exfoliators and that dry one I must have!
ReplyDeleteThen you really need to give this one a try, it is extraordinary!
DeleteI actually like the old school vibe of their packaging
ReplyDeleteMe too! It was the first thing that attracted me to the line, but then using their products took it to a whole different level!
DeleteI have to avoid witch hazel, so I guess I could only use the cleanser.
ReplyDeleteThen you definitely would want to avoid chemist and bug balm, but the exfoliator is definitely worthy of your consideration!
DeleteThat sounds amazing!

I am so impressed by these three products, Yvonne! I really want to try more of their products!
DeleteThat Exfoliate sounds like something I would love. I no longer use witch hazel because my skin is sensitive, but I would love the exfoliate for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt really is fantastic, Honey! You definitely want to avoid the other two products, though, since they both contain Witch Hazel!
