Review on Buha Liquid Luster Restorative Facial Oil - Ultra-Nourishing 21 Botanical & Antioxidant Face Skin Care, Hydrating For Dry Skin, Non-Toxic & Cruelty-Free, 30 ML by Anurak Grubb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

hydrates, restores,& balances skin; non greasy. Use alone, on top of lotion, or mix into cream

Lovely, thoughtful blend of oils that sit well on top of my night cream to help lock it all in. I wake with extra soft skin that is so touchable. I have used it just on my skin (in lieu of creams, etc), and have liked how my skin looks and feels. It isn't super "oily" feeling. Use a little or a lot depending on your needs. I do not feel like I have slathered oil on-- good oil based formulations provide that healthy, light feel., it is a matter of using a balance of sebum like oils, dry oils, nourishing oils. None of these sit heavy on their own. Can be used alone, or add it mixed into your favorite lotion, or on top of your skin care routine as last step. Use it on face, body, hands (cuticles!), and even a drop or two on ends of hair. Good oil mixes are pricey, and this is about right.Has a pleasant non descript aroma- comforting, pleasant. This formula is comprised of 21 nourishing skin oils plus the addition of a stabilizer, preservative, and oxidation controller. The "key ingredients" ARE the ingredients in this case, but they are listed in alphabetical order. I included the 3 additional "ingredients" as listed on the box. I dont know why they dont just list the ingredients anywhere. Anyway, here they are:+Alfalfa Extract+Avocado Oil+Bergamot Oil+Carrot Extract+Cypress Extract+Dandelion Flower Extract+Evening Primrose Oil+Frankincense Oil+Grape Seed Oil+Jasmine Oil+Lavender Oil+Lemon Oil+Marigold Extract+Neroli Oil+Rose Hips Oil+Rosemary Oil+Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil+ Sunflower Oil+Sweet Almond Oil+Turmeric Extract+White Nettle ExtractAND,Polysorbate 20 (stabilizer, skin soother),BHT (prevent oxidation, very important in oil formulas- as oxidized oils become gross & PRO oxidant), &Phenoxyethenol (As a synthetic preservative, its function is to prevent microbial growth in skin care formulations)Generally considered safe, I have no issue with these ingredients. You can search out your own info if you are concerned.

Pros
  • Beauty & Personal Care
Cons
  • May not provide enough moisture for extremely dry skin types
