In Love with One Love - Introducing One Love Organic Beauty
I normally start these posts with a lengthy introduction to the new brand, and an explanation as to how we came by it. The thing is, with One Love Organics, the products alone offer so much to talk about! This unique line of simple yet potent facial care is unlike anything I've ever tried before. Which is why I think I'm going to just skip straight to the part where I tell you about the products, and why they are going to BLOW. YOUR. MIND. So. Let's get to it, shall we?
(Quick note: I will be writing about Elizabeth Dehn for One Love Organics, and her products, in a separate piece)
Let's start with the Skin Savior, OLO's signature product. This do-everything balm is a cleanser, eye makeup remover, moisturizer, hair conditioner, flyaway tamer...it can even be blended with loose mineral makeup to create a creamy foundation! Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it did the dishes and cleaned my windows. This hyper-concentrated, waterless little miracle includes nothing but active, skin-loving ingredients. All while smelling like a citrusy, uplifting jar full of happy.
I have been using it as the first step in my nightly cleansing ritual. Skin Savior gently removes all traces of eye makeup, leaving my eye area feeling hydrated. I have also been using it as a moisturizer, applying it right after my facial serum (tip: it's the perfect follow-up to Keys ProBiome, for those who dislike ProBiome's strong scent). Finally, I take any additional balm left over after moisturizing my face, and apply it to the back of my hands. I get the moisturizing, anti-aging benefits of the balm, and my hands smell amazing for quite a while afterwards.
My other favorite product from One Love Organics is the Brand New Day Microderma Scrub and Masque. All skin benefits from exfoliation, but for sensitive types, most scrubs - and even the Clarisonic - can be too harsh, irritating the skin, exacerbating redness, and even causing damage. Brand New Day, on the other hand, uses sweet pea flour - a very fine, yet potent grain - as the primary exfoliant. I barely notice the scrubbing part, but I definitely notice the results. It immediately became my new go-to product for sensitive skin.
When I received their two facial elixirs - the Morning Glory Brightening Complexion Booster and the Love Spring Eternal Youth Preservation Serum - I was delighted to see that One Love has created two distinct blends, with two distinct functions. The Morning Glory is all about stimulating and toning, to give you that "ready to face the day" glow, along with a big dose of anti-oxidants, to help ward off environmental damage. Love Spring Eternal, on the other hand, serves the dual purpose of dissolving build-up (to prevent breakouts and dullness) while firming and plumping the skin. It's an anti-aging powerhouse that works in harmony with your skin's nightly repair and restoration efforts.
Speaking of Chia, I would be remiss to skip over their Supercritical Chia Oil, since this one little ingredient has such amazing powers, and is the centerpiece of many OLO products. Similar to Argan and Barbary Fig seed oil, Chia Oil is an anti aging superhero, packed with skin-plumping omega fatty acids, anti oxidants and vitamins. Because it's so potent, I personally recommend adding a couple drops to the Skin Savior, your favorite day cream, sunscreen, or body lotion. It's one of those oils that everyone should use (and yes, I'm including men in here, too, because looking good is gender neutral).
I personally think the best introduction to One Love Organics is by way of their Essentials To Go Deluxe Travel Kit - in part, because it contains generous amounts of product for a travel kit, but also because their retro glam travel bag is the adorable icing on an already delicious cake!
