2010 Archives: Best Eco-Beauty & Health Gift Guide: Sibu Beauty
One for them, two for you: We found healthy and beauty buys perfect for stocking stuffing—or stocking up! Now through New Year’s, the Eco-Beauty & Health Gift Guide showcases our Best of 2010 favorites at 25% off—or more—in EcoStiletto SHOP. Part Eight of Nine.
Good enough to eat. We say it about dessert—and that gorgeous guy on the second floor who hoses off his mud-covered mountain bike in the courtyard on Saturdays. Yummy. But what about beauty? If you consider that 60% of what goes on our skin goes in our bodies, wouldn’t it make sense to use products that are safe enough to eat in the first place?
When we put Sibu Beauty, our new favorite eco-skincare line, to the test, we found that it is—technically—edible. That’s because they eschew parabens, phthalates, synthetic perfumes and other petro-chemicals in favor of truly natural, organic-whenever-possible ingredients. Note the use of the word “technically.” Please don’t call us with a bellyache after you decide to make your face mask your meal: These products are formulated without taste in mind, no matter how safe they might be to ingest.
All of Sibu Beauty’s products are formulated with sea buckthorn berries, a sustainable resource that’s fair-trade harvested in Tibet, where its cultivation supports entire villages. Used for more than 1,300 years in traditional health and beauty practices, recent scientific studies reveal that sea buckthorn berries contain more than 190 bioactive compounds, including rare essential fatty acids that are vital to collagen production. For the ultimate multitasker, look no further than their pure, organic Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil, a therapeutic-grade oil suitable for every skin type which, when applied topically, treats everything from wrinkles to acne. This oil is so pure that, in a pinch, you can cook with it.
Bon appétit.
