dearcloud tone blur essence Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

About dearcloud sunscreens,

Inspired by the natural shade provided by clouds, dearcloud™ products offer a shield that helps to safeguard your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. In fact, dearcloud™ offers the 1st full line of Korean sun care (for both face and body) to be certified by the FDA.

dearcloud tone blur essence sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ is a cruelty-free, and vegan, broad spectrum chemical sunscreen that is formulated for both the face and body. It includes hydrating ingredients, such as Aloe Vera and Cica, that leave the skin soft and hydrated. It sinks in quickly, and it neither leaves behind a greasy residue, nor a white film. I have found that it doubles as a primer and therefore increases the longevity of my foundations and tinted moisturizers. It has a very faint clean aroma, but it isn't long-lasting or imposing. If you only use mineral sunscreens, then this isn't for you, but if you are interested in a cruelty-free and vegan chemical sunscreen that protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, then this high SPF, FDA approved, sunscreen is definitely worthy of your attention.

According to dearcloud,

Dearcloud's Tone Blur Essence Sunscreen SPF 50+ PA++++ provides broad spectrum sun protection against UVA and UVB rays. Powered by Korean SPF technology for a smoothing, blurring effect without a white cast. Lightweight Aloe and Cica help hydrate and cool.

Benefits:

  • Broad Spectrum UVA and UVB Protection
  • Lightweight cream formula for a skin-blurring effect
  • No white cast For face and body
  • Suitable for all skin types and sensitive skin
  • Made in Korea

Formulated Without:

  • Parabens
  • Sulfates
Directions: Apply 30 minutes before sun exposure to ensure your skin has absorbed the SPF essence. Use as the last step in your skincare routine, before applying any makeup. Squeeze out enough to cover the length of two fingers. Apply to face, décolletage, ears, and body. Precautions: Effectiveness may vary per skin type. For external use only. Stop use immediately and consult a physician if irritation occurs.

Key Ingredients:

  • Cica: Helps soften the appearance of dark spots and blemishes
  • Aloe: Rich in cooling and moisturizing properties
  • SPF 50/PA++++: Broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays
Full Ingredients: Active: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 10%, Octocrylene 8.7%, Octisalate 5%. Inactive Ingredients: Water, Butyloctyl Salicylate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Dipropylene Glycol, Sorbitan Olivate, Poly C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Niacinamide, Benzyl Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Panthenol, Arginine, Carbomer, Tocopherol, Butylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Stearoxy Ether, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycerin, Adenosine, Ethyl Hexanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sodium Hyaluronate.
Overall Assessment: This is a very nice brand, and their FDA approved sunscreens are definitely worthy of your consideration.

Twelve Beauty Rewarding Body Balm for Dry Skin Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I have tried numerous products from Twelve Beauty, a gorgeous Spanish brand, and I simply cannot say enough good things about their incredible products. The Twelve Beauty Rewarding Body Balm is a real game-changer for dry, irritated and sensitive skin, and this season my skin has been unusually dry.

About Twelve Beauty,

Twelve Beauty, a Spanish brand, was founded by Pedro Catalá who fuses his scientific knowledge in pharmacy, botany and cosmetology with 20 years of expertise in plants and herbology, into a unique approach for modern urban skincare.

Pedro's  philosophy and emphasis has always been on how to gently take care of the skin so that the skin is at its strongest, healthiest, glowiest best! We are huge fans of Pedro at the Boxwalla HQ. He has always eschewed meaningless skincare trends and instead chosen some of the most thoughtful and effective botanical extracts for his formulations:  Imperatoria leaf extract, Mallow flower extract, Butterfly bush leaf extract, White genepi extract & Fleischer’s Willow herb extract. Each plays a unique role in his formulations.

Twelve Beauty Rewarding Body Balm is a gorgeous body balm is aptly described as a "lush body pudding"– and it really must be experienced to be believed. The velvety texture of this thick and rich cream melts into the skin leaving it indescribably soft, smooth, deeply moisturized and luminous. The antioxidant-rich formula adds a layer of protection against free-radical damage, and the soothing and nourishing ingredients pamper the skin. The light aroma is luscious and exhilarating, but is neither imposing, nor long lasting. It is the perfect pick for dry skin that really needs deep moisture.

According to Twelve Beauty and Boxwalla,

This lush body pudding is made with unrefined olive Squalane, which is a great ingredient to protect the skin and provide elasticity to the skin. It includes butters like Cupuaçu butter that restores moisture and elasticity, Spent Grain Wax that consists mainly of linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid required for regeneration of the epidermal permeability barrier. It also contains some very carefully chosen botanical organic extracts like antioxidant-rich Buddleja extract, repairing Imperatoria extract, soothing Mallow extract, and more!

After much brainstorming, the founder and Lavanya decided to make this potion even more special by customizing it with an extraordinary ingredient that he calls 'a ray of light for your skin': Acerola fruit extract! This is a very powerful antioxidant that is rich in Vitamin C and bioflavonoids. Says the founder: 'It also has a strong moisturizing action due to containing dextrose, fructose, and other sugars.'

Directions: Apply generously all over the body with a light massage. Perfect after shower or bath.

IngredientsPurified Water, Squalane, Simmondia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Glycerin*, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii Extract*, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Glucoside, Malpighia Glare (Acerola) Fruit Extract, Olus Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil* , Tocopherol*, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Candelilla Cera, Glyceryl Laurate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Peucedanum Ostruthium Leaf Extract* , Spent Grain Wax , Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil*, Artemisia Umbeliformis Extract*, Malva Sylvestris Flower Extract*, Buddleja Davidii Leaf Extract*, Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter*, Epilobium Fleischeri Extract*, Xanthan Gum, Benzyl Alcohol, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Dehydroacetic Acid, Parfum*, Geraniol*, Limonene*, Linalool*

Overall Assessment: This is an absolutely phenomenal body balm.
