Recently, I have been using products from bSoul, an eco-friendly and vegan-certified phytoceutical cosmetic line from Tuscany, Italy. Their products carry the ICEA (Environmental and Ethical Certification Institute) certified logo which indicates that they uses only safe and natural ingredients that doesn’t cause any harm to humans, animals or environment. It is pertinent to look for such certifications in products because many natural skin care brands are not exactly using safe and natural ingredients that are obtained from plants through a sustainable and environmental-friendly way.

I’ve tried out bSoul’s Physiological Normalization Kit for a month or so right now and I find that it is especially compatible to my sensitive skin type. This kit includes the following products:
(1) Hydra-Milk Cleanser (100ml), $48
(2) Hydra-Face Scrub 3Action (100ml), $138
(3) Redness Sinergy (30ml), $138
(4) Hydra-Comfort Cream (50ml), $110
The scrub beads are surprisingly delicate and gentle on the skin. The scrub is made from jojoba, aloe and baking soda able to normalize cell turnover and restore skin lipids. It’s one of the mildest facial scrub I’ve ever used. However, even if it is gentle on the skin, I don’t advocate that you use this scrub on a daily basis as it could still wears out the skin. One of the key things I learnt about maintaining a good skin is to be as gentle as possible when treating your skin.
Personally, I would only use this scrub when my skin gets rough and looks dull. That’s when my skin needed that gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells.
The hydra-milk cleanser is a cleansing emulsion with argan oil, rosa moschata, rosemary extract, sage, thyme and other natural surfactants to help cleanse the skin without removing the hydro-lipoprotein film of the skin. Such face milk cleansers are great when you want to remove light makeup or when your skin needs to be treated more gently due to skin irritations or breakouts. I would usually use milk cleanser during the mid-day where my skin gets a little too oily and it does an effective job in removing the dirt and sebum without leaving my skin feeling too dry.
The green trend in the beauty industry is picking up and I’m heartened to see that they are more brands striving to go green and practise sustainability.
