The beauty industry is no stranger to strange ingredients. It occasionally swerves off into the kitchen and emerges with a bunch of new ingredients to be introduced into skincare products. You may raise an eyebrow at some of these and even squirm at them, but hey, if they work, surely you’d want to give them a go. Here, we’ve gathered a few products that put an intriguing spin on edible beauty.
Soo Beauté Rice Comfort Natural Smoothing Exfoliator, $36.90
Who knew we could derive beauty benefits from our daily source of energy? Well, rice actually makes an excellent toner as it acts like an astringent to tighten pores, keeping the skin smooth. Boosting that ability, this exfoliator from Soo Beauté gently polishes to brighten your skin and give it a radiant, healthy glow without being too harsh on the epidermis.
Suisse Programme Caviar Lifting Milk Cleanser, $109
It may be expensive to eat and even more expensive to have in your beauty routine, but caviar extract can be quite the miracle worker for those who are looking into anti-aging skincare. This ingredient is loaded with vitamins and amino acids that provide building blocks for skin cells to function optimally, slowing down the skin’s aging process. This is why you might wanna take extra time to cleanse your skin with Suisse Programme’s offering. It whisks away impurities and strengthens your skin, so you can look forward to a smoother canvas with every use.
Soo Beauté Elixir Donkey Milk Brightening Silk Skincel Mask, $3.90
We all know that Cleopatra used to bathe in milk daily for glowing skin, but did you know it took at least 700 farmed donkeys to provide for her milk baths? Yup, donkey milk is actually prized for its skin benefits. It’s rich in vitamins, proteins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and it even contains four times the amount of vitamin C compared to cow’s milk. So for your next pampering session, use this mask by Soo Beauté instead to hydrate and brighten your complexion.
Sasatinnie Oatmeal Eye and Lip Makeup Remover, $16.90
Not just used extensively in breakfast bowls, oatmeal can also be found in a number of skincare products because of its soothing and calming properties. They contain a range of minerals, vitamins and lipids as well as avenathramides, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It’s a good thing that Sasatinnie’s makeup remover contains this soothing ingredient then. Most makeup removers can be harsh around sensitive areas like the eyes and lips, but this one’s infused with nourishing oils, making it a gentler option.
NoTS Aqua Barrier Lotus Essence Mist, $35
If you’re searching for an essence that doubles up as a hydrating mist, this is it. NoTS’s Essence Mist contains lotus, which is a powerful antioxidant that’s packed with flavonoids to help heal the skin. There’s vitamin A in lotus too, which is why it’s able to reduce inflammation – a much-needed benefit for those struggling with acne. Combined with 7 lightweight botanical oils, a spritz of this will restore moisture and calm reactive skin.
