MAHALO Skin Care Rare Indigo Balm: I’ve admired the beautifully formulated skincare products from MAHALO Skin Care for a while now though I still hadn’t gotten around to trying any of their products. MAHALO’s founder, Maryna recently reached out to me announcing something very exciting: the launch of the Rare Indigo Balm. I was honored to be a part of the select few to receive and test out MAHALO’s newest, most intriguing product.
Named after it’s star ingredient, the extract of the rare indigo plant (which recent clinical studies showed has potent anti-inflammatory, antivirus, antimicrobial, anticancer actives,) the Rare Indigo Balm, contains 29 high-performance ingredients that are organic, local and/or wild harvested when available. Luxurious essentials oils provide an addictingly crisp, exotic and soothing scent with a hint of sweetness. Not just a beauty to look at, this unique indigo-violet blue hued balm heals and moisturizes skin, calms inflammations and skin irritations like acne and eczema, restores elasticity to aging skin, and provides provides youth-enhancing hydration and optimal moisture while empowering long-term skin health. The consistency of this balm is creamy and soft because it is completely free of wax and is held together by butters, unlike the brand’s Mahalo Balm or other solid balms on the market.
The Rare Indigo Balm was definitely a product my dry, sensitive skin took to immediately and something I know is going to be perfect not only to use during colder temperatures, but all year-round. I loved how gentle and supremely moisturizing this balm is as well as how revitalized and supple my skin felt after use. You’re not going to want to pass on getting the Rare Indigo Balm: it is a luxurious and unique skincare product involving a true feat of expert formulation and creation. $110 for Rare Indigo Balm at MAHALO Skin Care. Pre-sale of the Rare Indigo Balm begins today, November 11 so don’t wait and be the first to grab a jar of unique luxury! Official product launch is November 18.
Sustain Condoms at select CVS pharmacies: Sustain is a pretty cool brand in my opinion. Whoever really stopped to think about how wasteful and harmful condoms were to the environment?
