New*** Everybody Loves the Sunshine with Zinc
At Living Libations we love getting our daily dose of vitamin D soaking up the sun’s rays, for longer times in the sun it is great to wear a hat, organic cotton clothing and use our original Everybody Loves the Sunshine which has a sun harmonizing quality is very nourishing for the skin. Yet, sometimes we need something for hours of fun in the sun and wearing a hat is less then convenient for activities like hiking, surfing and swimming. Our new Everybody Loves the Sunshine with Zinc was created so that there is a really pure option for those sunny days of play.
For all day Sun play ~ Made with 20% uncoated zinc oxide and organic ingredients of: nourishing oils of the desert jojoba plant, virgin coconut crème, red raspberry seed, seabuckthorn berry, tamanu and regenerating essences of helichrysum, lavender, cape chamomile, ginger, geranium, palmarosa, rose otto, carrot, ginger, frankincense, turmeric, calendula, sandalwood and thyme linalool to restore and adore sun-soaking and sun soaked skin. Fear not the sun, for it graces all things green!
Directions: Apply to the face, nose, chin, shoulders and skin that will be exposed. Reapply at least every two hours and more frequently in high UV Index, sweating and high humidity times.
For daily protection, ELS with Zinc is designed to offer the maximum physical protection (30) from UVA and UVB rays without using a chemical sunscreen. Our Sun-shade product is made without synthetic ingredients like oxybenzne, or Retinyl Palmitate. We use an uncoated Zinc oxide as this is more pure than titanium dioxide and coated zinc oxide is made with Triethoxycaprylylsilane, a synthetic silicone coating. The uncoated zinc has also proven to be anti-bacterial and antimicrobial and can reduce redness, rosacea, age spots and melasma. Made with our ultra nourishing ingredients to carry the zinc oxide which provides blocking of UVA, UVB and UVC radiation. Zinc oxide reflects the sun’s rays rather than absorb them they way most commercial sunscreens do. Made in 50ml Violet Glass.
Review(s)
Great daily sunscreen
For me, I like to wear a sunscreen daily on my face, neck and chest. But finding one with the right texture has been tough. This sunscreen is exactly what I have been looking for! Now, I do notice that my face looks slightly paler after I apply it, but it is not at all what I would describe as "chalky". Another positive is that I have found I can wear this on its own without applying any other moisturizer under it. Also, this is NOT greasy and has not caused any increase in clogged pores. Absorbs quickly. I have applied make up over top with no problems at all. The texture and smell are all really pleasant as well. Has kind of a creamy, slightly sweet smell.
again perfection
This is the perfect product for summer! I tested this last weekend and I got the perfect amount of healthy sun exposure, didn't burn, and it stayed put despite sweating and swimming! Plus I love that it has nourishing ingredients. I have always regretted that I went to lengths to put natural products on my body and then put a chemical sunscreen or synthetic sunblock ontop. Most were ineffective, waxy, and questionably safe. I tried several "natural" brands but many were like wearing a layer of grease. And last summer and ended up with a white blotch on my face from a sunblock that ran...no more experimenting! I finally I found a product that is perfect for summer. I recommend this to anyone who wants reliable, safe and healthy sun protection plus the benefits of skin healing, nourishing ingredients. Again perfection from Living Libations.
Very pleased!
I bought the new zinc sunscreen and am very pleased! Giving it a try on our first sunny day. Thanks so much for the great products.
LOVE!
i am having an absolute love affair with this product...no chalkiness, no heaviness...just absolute blissful perfection for those times when i'm out & about a bit longer than usual.
First Impression is Great
It smells really good. It certainly feels and looks really good, too. Now the true test... sometime in the near future I will wear this OUTSIDE. OK I must add I am a pale/ no pigment coppery/red blonde Western European girl who lives on a tropical, Caribbean island. So I am still going to wear a sunhat and wear additional mineral powder and protective clothing, but I guess this could be an interesting test! No idea how much SPF this sunscreen has and quite frankly, I don't believe anything above 25 works anyway. The bottle is small. I wonder how long this will last me in the tropics. But this may very well be the best sunscreen ever. it's the best smelling thing and it is really smooth. I mean compared to the other cottage cheese and chalky natural brands. Will report back later. WISH ME LUCK! Shall my face remain freckle-free?
Test 1: SUCCESSFUL!
I am reporting back after my first test. I am in the tropics and I am a pale, coppery/blonde Western European female. No pigment in my skin. I have been asked if I am an albino (which I am not). Recently, I have decided not to use artificial spray-tans anymore and to just try and get some more color from the sun. Who needs the parabens and chemicals? After watching a video with Nadine talking beautifully about how the sun communicates with our skin, I felt ready and inspired to give it a go. My skin is not used to the sun. Sooo I went to the beach with a friend yesterday morning!! So far, this sunscreen is proving to really work! This is the first time I actually sunbathed on this tropical island and I only used the sunscreen on certain parts of my body. I did not think I would immediately burn the untreated parts (or got distracted and mesmerized by the beauty of the Caribbean ocean and decided not to worry about it), but I still wanted to protection on my knees and feet. The reason I did not apply the sunscreen on my whole body is cause the bottle is a little small and I need the sunscreen for an all-day outdoor event this weekend! So I did not want to use it all and therefore did not protect all of my body this time! I did not use sunscreen on my legs and I did not think I was in the sun for very long. Sure enough, in the evening, the parts that I had forgotton to apply sunscreen to are BRIGHT RED and stinging from a sunburn and the spots where I applied the sunscreen are still normal! Yes, I have bright red, fried lobster colored legs with white knees and feet! LOL! My friend is laughing so hard cause she used commercial sunscreen and forgot her feet, so her feet got a sunburn. So her feet match my legs and mine match hers! We both look silly! She has red feet and I have red legs with white feet. All the places where I put the 'Everybody loves the Sunshine' sunscreen are still normal!! Amazing! I wore a sunhat and also used a special sun parasol for my upper body. So my upper body is hardly affected by the sun. Luckily, Aloe Vera grows here naturally, so I am treating my sun burnt areas with that. Ouchee! It hurts like hell! I am applying fresh Aloe gel and juice from leaves 3 times a day and my skin just soaks it up! So... I know my lobster areas will be ok. As far as the SPF. You can apply it thicker or thinner, so it's up to you. It smells great, feels smooth and applies easily and evenly. The best ever. If this pale girl is protected on a tropical island on a day with clear sky (we only had a palm tree giving us some shade)... basically this sunscreen will work for everybody. Albino's included. Just make sure you apply it well and don't overdo the sun exposure! Don't forget any spots! Since this is a physical, zinc-based block, you will look a little pale from it (with a generous application). But that can be easily fixed by adding a layer of mineral pigment make-up. So for my face, I just use this sunscreen as a moisturizer and primer to wear underneath my mineral make-up. Works beautifully! I can't afford not to wear sunscreen, so I HAVE to wear some pigmented natural powder over it, if I don't want to look like a ghost. For my body, I don't mind that so much and I apply it less thickly. I have tried several natural, zinc-based sunscreens and this one is BY FAR the best ever!! I am so pleased! It smells GREAT! Please make bigger bottles and thank you for this excellent product!! I'm gonna want a gallon!
best sunscreen ever
I bought it at the Big carrot and i found it to be the best sunscreen ever. i'm Asian and have light skin that burn easily. I went away on Canada Day long weekend to montreal where the sun was scorching hot. I applied it to my face, neck and shoulders and i didn't get burnt or turn red. So the next day , I decided to conduct a test by applying it only on my face/neck and leave my shoulders exposed with the drugstore sunscreen. Well what a surprised- the skin that didn't have the living Libation suncreen on it got red and burnt while my face+ neck was not affected. Wow, this stuff is the greatest.
Magic
Dear Nadine and Ron, I have never, never, never written to a company regarding their product before. I bought your Everybody Loves Sunshine on a whim after trying to find sunscreen without all of the harmful additives. Your little bottle comes and the first test run was 3 days in Joshua Tree with 100 degree heat and unrelenting sunshine. I was very sceptical to say the least. I told my husband, I will be the quinea pig, you use sunscreen in case it doesn't work. I applied it religiously, and only burned if I missed a spot. Next test, southern California day at the beach, same thing, I only burned if I missed an area. I will be ordering more and telling all of my friends and family. I don't know how you did it, must be magic. : ) Thank you so much
note: always test a tiny portion of any product you purchase first to ensure it is right for you. Example: a dap on your wrist.

Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) Oil – Glorious, golden jojoba nourishes and conditions thirsty skin. Jojoba has unparalleled ability to moisturize the skin, balance oil production, deep clean pores, and create long-lasting conditioning effects that soften skin to perfect silk. It is brimming with peptides and lipids and contains the highest levels of phenolic compounds found in nature along with nutrients and all soluble forms of vitamin E. One of the most nourishing skin oils of all!
Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera) – Pure, virgin coconut crème becomes a liquid at 75-degrees. When it comes in contact with a 98-degree body, it effortlessly melts into the skin. Luscious Coconut crème eases premature aging and protects and heals dry skin.
Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) Supercritical Extract – Seabuckthorn sends its lipids into the skin, diminishing imbalances from the inside out. This supercritical extract is packed with omega fatty acids 3, 6, 7, and 9, antioxidants, vitamins, palmitoleic acids, carotenoids, and phytosterols. A single drop of seabuckthorn oil contains 190 different bioactive compounds. This bright orange essence is incredibly regenerative and complexion-clearing - relaxing redness and paring puffiness. Seabuckthorn is an excellent addition to cleansers for acne. Seabuckthorn stealthily harmonizes skin with sun.
Raspberry Seed (Rubus idaeus) Essential Oil – Ravishing red raspberry seed oil is like a pleasant parasol on the sun. This special cold-pressed plant oil is lavish in essential fatty acids (linoleic, alpha linolenic, and oleic acids), vitamin A, carotenoids, tocopherols, and tocotrienols. Tocopherols are primarily gamma and alpha tocopherols and are ready to bless the skin with moisturizing magic. Lovely to use outdoors, especially for mid-day play.
Tamanu (Calophyllum inophyllum) Oil – Enchanting tamanu is a regenerative berry oil that is easily absorbed deep into the skin to keep moisture in and protect the skin from dryness. Tamanu is said to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of scars. Even for a fatty oil, it has a high (92%!) lipid content. It is also a wonderful ingredient in moisturizers for acne-prone skin.
Schizandra Berry (Schisandra chinensis) Essential Oil – Used for over 3,000 years as one of the most important herbs in Chinese medicine, Schizandra berry slows signs of aging of the skin. This wonderful berry inspires positivity and energizes the spirit. A staple in Traditional Chinese Medicine, these red berries have been used for thousands of years to boost the body’s chi.
Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum) Essential Oil – Everlasting immortelle is stellar and shines divine for all kinds of skincare. This fragrant-floral oil is wild-crafted on the island of Corsica where the flowers prosper with ocean breezes and sunshine. The flowers grow at an altitude of 4,000 feet on the rocky countryside cliffs. Immortelle aids in abating the appearance of scars, spots, melasma, redness and fine lines. This multifaceted gem of an oil is uplifting emotionally as well.
Carrot Seed (Daucus carota) Essential Oil – Queen Anne’s lace anoints your face with queenly grace. Carrot oil stimulates oil production in pitch perfect ratios, regardless of your skin’s current state. Oily, dry, and combination skin can all benefit from the stimulating, moisturizing power of carrot seed.
Rose Otto (Rosa damascena) Essential Oil – Rose otto offers oh-so-much-more than an ambrosial aroma. It is also the most tonifying of all the rose oils. It is an incredibly elegant and precious essence. It takes sixty roses to make a single drop of rose otto essential oil! This regal botanical adds resiliency, elasticity, and moisture to the skin to minimize signs of aging and give the skin a rosy glow. It reduces the look of age spots, and it also smells amazing!
Cape Chamomile (Eriocephalus punctulatus) Essential Oil - Captivating cape chamomile’s exudes a beautiful, fine fruity-floral fragrance that is one of my favorite aromas. Cape chamomile has a high content of rare, nourishing ester and azulene compounds that impart a teal blue hue to soothe all manner of skin imbalances. This rejuvenating essence regulates sebum and softens the appearance of scars, and spots.
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) Essential Oil – Sacred frankincense is the pièce de résistance of skincare! It relaxes redness, firms the skin, minimizes melasma, and infuses the skin with copious moisture. It’s also wonderful for reducing the appearance of scars and age spots.
Sandalwood (Santalum album) Essential Oil – Succulent Sandalwood is the perfect antidote for sun drenched skin that is hot and dehydrated. It helps the skin retain more moisture, reduces the appearance of scars and age spots, and clears pores. Sandalwood is an ancient body and face oil beloved as a calming, soothing tonic. The honey-syrup scented essence satiates dry, sensitive skin.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Essential Oil – Ginger is a hero in our arsenal as it packs an herbaceous punch! Warm and zingy, it energizes the skin and assists with easing signs of premature aging by enhancing elasticity and firmness. Diminishes the appearance of melasma and harmonizes the skin to those golden rays.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Essential Oil – Lovely lavender is a gentle-yet-powerful skin tonic that is restorative and calming. It relaxes redness and cools heat. Lavender can be used to improve the appearance of scars, even out skin tone, cleanse acne prone skin, and balance the skin’s sebum levels.
Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) Essential Oil – This gentle giant of skincare firms skin, reduces the appearance of scars and stretch marks, and is an exceptional toner for acne-prone skin.
Sweet Thyme (Thyme vulgaris linalool) Essential Oil – Thyme Linalool is as strong as it is soft! It contains all the fortifying and toning power of the other types of thyme oils without causing irritation as it purifies pores. It is known to stimulate and energize the body and mind while being mild enough for use on young children and the elderly. Thyme Linalool is lush in linalool and is a treasured ingredient in our gentle skincare serums.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) Essential Oil – Treasured turmeric is a tonic of golden-goodness for skin. Through supercritical extraction, all of turmeric’s lipophilic (oil-loving) compounds are captured from the plant’s roots. This specialextraction process captures much more of the aromatic volatile oils, lipids, and pigments than a typical powdered herb.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis) Essential Oil – Calendula is a sunned-skin's super hero. This bold extract harnesses the powerful anti-aging properties of marigold petals that send redness and heat packing. Traditional uses find that scars and puffiness are all soothed with calendula, too.
Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini) Essential Oil – Pleasant palmarosa essential oil is distilled from a tropical, fragrant grass resulting in an aromatic oil that smells like a lemony-geranium-rose and is simply splendid for the nose! This formidable skin rejuvenator rich in mighty monoterpenols, emollient esters, loving linalool, and generous geraniols poises pores and skin tone. Palmarosa smoothes skin and has a reputation of bringing balance to blemish prone and dry skin.

Great for the outdoors
I never realized before the mosquitoes or other insects don't attact me or my kids. My husband has been complaining about them all the time, I never understood why. Today he asked me to give him some sunscreen so I took Everybody loves the sunshine and put it on him. Guess what!? All the annoying insects disappeared! Not a single bite on him! Now that I think of it, me and my kids have been using your oils for a long time, he hasn't. Your stuff is AMAZING! Thank you Nadine so much for your wisdom!
I trust this for my sun care! A true beauty
I took this on my vacation to Greece for use in the beautiful beaches with the sparkling clear sea and shimmering sun rays. I ADORE THIS!!! I did not burn at all, it worked as great during sun and especially after sun. I had a history of bad burns, even one that lasted 3 weeks before, so for this to not have me burn was so revolutionary. During the sun, it keeps skin fully well-hydrated, excellent preventative care. A tip for when in prolonged periods in the sun is to drink plenty of water, well this is definitely like water for thirsty skin cells exposed to heat of the sun, quenching their thirst so they don't get scorched, as well. For all lovers and playmates of the sun. A funny memory with this is also when I had it on, it is SO pure that a bee came around me thinking I was a flower! It went on its merry way but still had me giggling. For after sun care, I put this product on one thigh first to compare the difference to the other, and the difference is immediate for how instantly it soothes the skin. Great for helping turn your sun-kissed skin into a tan. A very pleasant and happy smell, sooo unique and like a sweet honey comb, beautiful summer memories while helping you look your best. :)
Amazing product
finally! a true all natural sun screen that works! i use the one wzinc for my face and chest and the regular for the rest of me. I LOVE this prduct! Ive worn it out gardening & out boating and did not burn a bit.
First Impression: Lovely and luxerious and effective
This is an amazing product it smells great and I have been using it to wash my face with and I apply it to my face whenever I leave the house. I havent yet experienced it in the sunshine for long periods of time but I am visiting Saturnia Italy Natural hot springs and Rome in May and I am sure it will come handy there! I will for sure be making a video review for all the amazing creations I recieved on my youtube channel and post them as video responses real soon! Thank you so much Ron Nadine!
loving the sun
This is a really unique product....I have read a lot about red raspberry and how it is good for your skin, especially in regards to sun damage and even the ability to reverse abnormal cells.....so I was very intrigued to try this one. I can't say that it prevented me from burning as I did experience some....but it quickly transformed itself nearly overnight to a tan and it does give a more bronzed look, which is quite nice. It makes your skin incredibly soft and nourished...I really like this product :)
My Skin Drinks It In
I used this product on my vacation in Florida. I applied it before, during and after the sun and my skin came home beautiful. I mix a squirt into my all over lotion and my skin looks glowing and singing.
Love that sunshine!
Finally a sun care product I can feel good about. This oil is a marvel. My skin is tanned and soft, no burns or dryness! Everybody will love this product!!
And the Sunshine Loves Everybody BACK!
Simple, pure, perfectly FREE of chemical substances! So you can bask away and your glowing skin will say, "THANK you!" Everbody Loves the Sunshine was a common companion to me under the beautiful, blazing Bali sun!

S.P.F no thanks
thank you nadine for providing the only truly natural sun formula. everything that lives on the earth depends on the sun for its vitality. why on earth would be block those precious rays with chemicals that in fact promote disease in the body. sun derived vitamin D is the best for bones. you cannot get it using S.P.F. i have been looking for something like this for a long time. i tell everyone that i do not use S.P.F. the sun is your best friend. let's remove the stigma and let the sunshine in.

In may I am going to Rome and to saturnia italy to huge natural hot spring and i will be sure to make a video review of the gloriousness of this product. :) A million thanks!
Your beautiful products have improved my skin, my soul, and my life
Rather than be the thousandth person to tell you how life-changing your products are, I wanted to find something new and cool and unusual to say. But: Your beautiful products have improved my skin, my soul, and my life. And my daughter's too! The Best Skin Ever is aptly named; the RoseGlow is a magic elixir; the sunscreen... the sunscreen! That was a tough one for me to wrap my head around: Put oil on your skin to protect it from the sun? Isn't that counterintuitive? Wouldn't I fry? But no! My fish-belly-white skin that quickly goes to a sharp and painful fish-gut-red stayed moony white, even after hours of re-potting seedlings in strong sunlight. Hallelujah! The naturalness of it all just feels so right, and that rightness spills over into the rest of our lives now. Thanks so much for creating and sharing these wondrous things.
Like a big glass of water for my skin!
this is exactly what my skin wants to feel juicy and radiant, Everyone Loves the Sunshine is like a big glass of water for my skin, hydrating, moisturizing, light and lovely - my face hasn't been this confident in too long, thank you beauty queen alchemist!
Love that sun!
I am a sun lover and I was really excited to try this natural sun product this past summer. We were outside all summer. Camping swimming traveling swimming . This little bottle went with my family and I all over Canada. We loved it!!! We all came home from our travels and everyone couldn't believe the nice deep broze colored tans we had. We are not a particularily dark bunch. My husband is a red head and the rest of us are blonde. But we didn't burn and we didn't get that leathery look either. I waited to write a review because I wanted to see how long my tan would last. It's nearing the end of January and I've spent very little time in the sun since October and I still have some color! Too cool! Can't wait for this summer to come!
the best sun product ever
I know I review a lot of living libation products, but this one deserves a thousand stars! I tend to freckle and out of fear wear lots of sunscreen. Well fear no more! This weekend I went to the beach and mixed this product with salt water and WOW, I got nice color, I didn't burn, and my skin feels amazing. Where has this been all my life? This is an essential for everyone this summer. I also love the one with zinc for face, I can't say enough good things about everybody loves the sunshine, it's brilliant. I just wish I had this years ago...now Nadine please make a product for evening pigmentation so those of us who didn't have this years ago can look as beautiful as you :)
Very effective so far :-)
I just started using this, summer comes in random bursts here in Ireland and it hasn't gone beyond 20 degrees C, but so far so good, it smells lovely, the lemony, gingery turmeric scents come through and it softens to smell quite floral, on my skin at least. It protected my skin well, I had to reapply it often, as I caught the sun a bit when I wasn't diligent enough. My skin is darker than the average Irish skin, so if you're pale, i think it would be wise to apply often. A little goes a very long way. I put it on after sun exposure too and it leaves my skin really well moisturized, I'm really happy to have found this blend, thanks!
Sun and skin synergizer
This one of my most favourite skin loving product in the world! Smells so divine, a bit more deep & 'herby', a little less sweet than Seabuckthorn Best Skin. Most of all it works! I was skeptical when I first ordered it since I've never used a 100% plant based sun harmonizer before- but I was looking for an affordable, cleaner alternative than all the other sunscreen I've used. I have medium golden/olive skin, but can still get sunburns more so when my skin haven't seen the sun for awhile. I used this all over on the first hot day after winter. It was 26 C degrees and was picnicking under the sun for several hours with no sunburn & sensitivities in sight! Nothing but pure love for this product :D

Our skin has its own form of photosynthesis - converting sunbeams into a healing and regenerative substance, a steroidal hormone precursor, called vitamin D. Skin has the ability to create over 10, 000 IU of vitamin D after 15 minutes of being in the sun at noon and vitamin D is responsible for over 2000 functions to work optimally in the body. Vitamin D3, in the form of calcitriol is a powerful hormone that can activate over 2000 genes in the body. It is import for blood to have optimal levels of vitamin D and what many people may not know is vitamin D is also fundamental for the health, beauty and cellular harmony of your largest organ, the skin. The skin's cellular renewal process is dependent upon vitamin D. There are many factors that can inhibit your body's production of vitamin D including, geographic latitude, seasons and use of synthetic sunscreen. Letting the sun shine in is a beautiful thing, yet too much time in the sun can create burns.
Everything that is applied to the body is absorbed by the body, this is to our advantage when we apply pure ingredients that can nourish the skin and body. Our Sundew Vitamin D crème is an excellent way to get vitamin D transdermally. In addition, with a topical application of vitamin the D is absorbed into the skin, rather than being processed by the digestive system and liver, directly nourishing your skin's suppleness and healthy glow. Vitamin D plays a vital role in skin cell development and repair, as well as revitalizing your skin's immune system and helping to eliminate free radicals that can cause premature aging.
Transdermal application of Vitamin D delivers benefits directly to your skin, being a fat-soluble vitamin combined with supercritical extracts of seabuckthorn berry, turmeric and essential oils with beneficial properties that revitalize skin cells and skin that may have experienced sun-damage: sandalwood, rose otto, immortelle, ginger, frankincense, thyme linalool and palmarosa all penetrate the lipid matrix, vitamin D is easily absorbed into the nucleus, where it binds to vitamin D receptors. Vitamin D receptors are directly linked to cell proliferation and differentiation as well as immune function. Sundew's potent and pure ingredients reinforce the delicate matrix of skin tissue and maintain the valuable lipid barrier that locks in moisture. Along with optimal vitamin D intake, topical vitamin D application can create a rejuvenating and quenching effect on skin. Sundew is a unique formula that delivers pure botanicals, potent vitamin D (2000 IU per application on face and over 100,000 IU per jar) to revitalize, hydrate and sustain your skin's healthy glow.

Beauty Creme
This creme makes my skin glow like I just sat under the sun for a good 30 minutes and got a bit of a tan. Love it!
In Love
As a chemotherapy patient I am not supposed to get a lot of sun exposure. This product is a godsend. I am already getting compliment on my complexion at the local center. It's a real challenge to keep your skin looking and feeling well during treatment and this product is amazing! I use it everyday and a little goes a long way! Thank you Nadine!!!!!!
another brilliant product
I know this is a new product, but it is a brilliant one to have, especially for those of us who are not outside enough. This is a supplement and a beauty product all at once...I love how Nadine advises us not to be afraid of the sun and emphasizes the importance of vitamin D and healthy sun exposure. I have slowly been getting away from sunblock and using more antioxidant foods, products like everyone loves the sunshine, and my skin is in better shape and I feel better. I have to thank everyone at Living Libations for really doing their research about what is best for the body...these are not just beauty products, these are products that speak to a much higher level of health and consciousness. Better skin is just the result of better health on every level.
LOVE LOVE!
nadine...YOU & this beautiful skin creme are MY sunshine! once again...absolute blissful perfection. just a dab does me perfectly under some ELS with zinc!
Great for depression
I used this as a last resort for my seasonal depression; I get really down in the winter. Since I tried it I have been doing so much better, and my face feels so moist and looks younger. I'm so excited, but I do tend to slather it on my face because I know it is good for my face and for my mood.
Complete Genius!
Of course, vitamin D on the skin is completely beneficial to any Canadian, especially during the winter months where we lack the Sun. This product is sublime. As a dark-skinned person, I have watched whitish patches on my skin fade. Dark skin people require more sunlight (aka vitamin D). I now take vitamin D internally too. This all makes complete sense! Thank you for this gift... Much Love to All!

Highly recommended in conjunction with Open Sky Eye Serum: an olfactory feast and nutritional indulgence”~Antonella
All pure, organic and/or wild crafted ingredients:
Cacao: We use only forest grown, heirloom seed cacao beans. These precious beans impart the full array of botanical blessings that cacao has to offer. The aroma of the luscious cacao bean activates a deep state of bliss. Loved by people and animals everywhere, cacao has been known as "the food of the gods" for centuries.

It is a key ally in skin rejuvenation that invites balance and healing in all skin conditions. Rose Otto is a delicious floral fragrance that harmonizes the mind. Rose Otto, the most medicinal Rose, is used for healing, skin care and edibles. It is an elegant and precious essence. It takes sixty roses to make one drop of Rose Otto essential oil! Rose Otto is a clear-yellow color and can solidify in colder temperatures due to the content of floral waxes in the oil. One of the most medicinally valued extracts, Rose Otto adds resiliency and elasticity to the skin. It is a vulnerary, speeding up the healing of tissues with its potent antiseptic properties. A wonderful overall tonic, it is soothing to all skin types and promotes rejuvenation of connective tissues. It is also a tonic astringent that is cooling, regulating and cleaning. Rose Otto is soothing to the heart and smoothing to wrinkles. It's a botanical nurturer that invites balance and healing in all types of skin conditions. Its sweet, soothing and floral fragrance is uplifting and may help with depression, stress and anxiety. Rose Otto essential oil has been celebrated since ancient times for use in spiritual love and sacred unions as a source of joy, beauty and happiness.
Immortelle Essential Oil: Also known as Everlasting, Immortelle is truly a gem for skin care. It has unique properties that promote healing while reducing inflammation. Immortelle is soothing to the skin, clearing keloids and revivifying the skin at a deep cellular level.
ORMUS Gold: [L1] A mono-atomic mineral that is inherent to all life, ORMUS Gold benefits consciousness and overall life-force energy. It is particularly healing for the skin as it can alleviate wrinkles and accelerate cellular rejuvenation. Topical application is the best way to absorb this magical nutrient that promotes elevation of consciousness and inspires our "inner gold" to shine through.
Review(s)
Not what I expected
I converted to using oils on my face and body over lotions about a year and a half ago. I really didn't think that this product would ever take the place of my beloved argon oil. Truth is, it has not completely but it has quickly become a new staple in my face routine. I have only had it for a week now and I am ADDICTED! Now when I say it was not what I expected, I am referring to the scent. I really thought it would smell like chocolate but I think it will smell different to everyone. Since I am pregnant right now, I smell something that I can not really describe. At first I didn't think I liked it but now I find myself inhaling it before I put it on my skin. It is like a drug. I am seriously addicted to the scent and how it leaves my skin. I have read some reviews of it leaving a little color on the skin but I have medium tan skin right now so I guess that is why it doesn't show up on me. I think in the winter it may add that hint of color that I was hoping for. In the meantime, I really love this product and cant wait to try more!
A GREAT GREAT GREAT skin care addition!!!
I really like this, from the moment I first tried it. It's one of the smoothest, velvetiest Libations oil products for the face I have ever tried - not oily at all. Goes in the skin really well! It sparkles with a beautiful glow. I find it soothes and smoothes away any blemishes right on the spot, blending it all in and calming. Pores become even, and even blackheads or big pores seem to become much less noticeable with this on. This is like instant makeup for the face - except it's totally real!! So mattifying! I feel like a royal golden goddess with this on. And it smells yummy :) I like to sleep with it on, and especially for when I'm going out I definitely love to use it. In the sun it is fun to use indeed, spreading some on neck and collarbone and arms too :) Super great on face!!! With this on, I have actually gotten so many compliments on how my face looks so clear. :) Formerly having severe cystic acne and scarring, and now a year later having completely transformed skin thanks to Living Libations, that is a HUGE and new compliment for me :) Blessings to Living Libations team and their products forever!!!!!!
Favourite!
This is just what you need for your everyday skin routine. A lovely and LIGHT silkysmooth serum that your skin will easliy soak up. No greasy or oily feeling afterwards. Just put it on and your skin is ready to go. It seems to both slightly tone, hydrate and nourish at the very same time. It has the most yummy scent (and yes, you feel like eating it). I think if gold had a scent, this might be it ... it's warm, delicious, radiant and with that sensual deep bottom note of the cocoa bean. An absolute favourite in my bathroom ... I just can't wait to try out all the other beauty products here.
silky yumminess
I am in love with this product! It is the silkiest oil that has ever graced my skin... I don't know if that has something to do with the ormus gold or what is is but...mmm mmm mmm....beautiful! This is a must have :)
Yummy
I've decided I want to eat this serum. It smells and feels like heaven. I'm almost don't want to use it because I want it to last. I use it at night after I use the seabuckthorn. In the morning my skin just glows! A-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!!
So lovely
This serum makes your skin feel so cushy and cared for. And not at all oily. I even use it in the morning and it soaks right in and it just gives a pretty glow, not an oily shine. And of course...smells divine! I use this a.m and p.m. after my Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever and Dew Dab. Great combo for beautiful skin1
Who needs make-up with this product? :)
My skin type is Normal/Combination with some blemishes/acne from time to time. Since I started using Living Libations about less than a month ago, my morning routine has been Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever, All Seeing Eye Cream, and ChocolateKarat Serum and my night routine has been Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever, All Seeing Eye Cream, Dew Dab, and ChocolateKarat Serum. My skin seems to love drinking up the wonderful ingredients in all of the Living Libations products and I do see an improvement in my skin tone and texture. My complexion is of South Asian descent (I'm Sri Lankan Sinhalese) therefore I find that using the ChocolateKarat Serum is a great replacement for make-up as it gives a natural glowy boost of colour and moisturizes beautifully at the same time. Great product!
Exactly what my skin needs right now!
As for your new creation, the ChocolateKarat Serum, it is exactly what my skin needs right now! It shields my (poor) face from the autumn breeze which seems to steal every drop of moisture the summer sun generously donated.
wow
chocolate and gold!!!! Wow, wow, wow. I have never experienced anything like it. I love it.
great gift
I bought this for my wife for her birthday. She can't stop raving about it. Good recommendation Nadine.
Moisturuzed & Relaxed
I received the Yogi Tooth Serum last night along with the ChocolateKarat Serum. I tried them both and my teeth felt SO clean and fresh... And my face so moisturized and relaxed.
Amazing product!
I already knew I loved Best Skin Ever (Seabuckthorn) and Rose Glow serum...but I decided to add ChocolateKarat serum to my recent order and WOW!!! This is a truly beautiful serum. I wash my face at night with Best Skin Ever and apply ChocolateKarat to a slightly damp face and neck, even on my lips. It feels glorious, and when I wake up I have lovely plumped up glowy skin...wonderful to see as I am in my 40s and showing some aging. Thank you Thank you Thank you for all your wondeful creations. :) Kat Jordan Houston, Texas http://kat-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com
Magical
The ChocolateKarat Serum is magical. I'm planning to try the eye serum and the dentistry products next. Thanks again for such lovely products!
Smells Incredible!
I absolutely love this product. Chocolate Karat Serum smells wonderful, feels wonderful on the skin and the ingredients that Nadine uses are excellent. What a great product!! I will continue to use this as a favorite. Thanks Nadine for making such wonderful products with integrity!
Amazing serum!
The chocolate karat serum is probably the most amazing skin moisturizing product I have EVER used. I use it at night before bed, and I wake up with beautifully moisturized, glowing skin. I will never go without this product! Thank you Nadine!
glowing
I use this with dew dab and my skin really started to glow, it just gets better and better, I love it. It smells really good too, reminds me of christmas pudding (maybe just an Irish/English thing?), quite a warm fragrance, but very subtle. Smells good enough to eat!

The Best Exfoliator Ever!!!
This exfoliator is fabulous. It is not very harsh, removes dead skin, the peppermint is so refreshing and all you need is a drop because it goes a long way. Love that I found an exfoliator that gets the job done without being rough and drying on my skin. The combination of peppermint, grapefruit, sage, rosemary, seaweed, aloe vera, slippery elm, marshmallow root, and coconut oil ~ is simply to die for. Total clarity!!! Nadine is soooo talented and her creations are extradonairy.
*Like New*
I used this all over my entire body today and it was like my skin was singing and tingling. Then I covered my skin with seabuckthorn best skin ever and I thought this must be what it is like to have heaven wrapped around your body. I have been ordering way too many products and so far I love them all. XXX

Living Libations
Renegade Beauty: Reveal and Revive Your Natural Radiance--Beauty Secrets, Solutions, and Preparations Book (Nadine Artemis founder of Living Libations)
£15.00
Rethink conventional notions of beauty and wellness, abandon elaborate regimes and synthetic products, and reveal your renegade beauty.
In this essential guide, Nadine Artemis introduces readers to the concept of renegade beauty - the art of doing less and allowing the elements and the life force of nature to revive the body, skin, and soul so our natural radiance can shine through. Anyone stuck in perpetual loops of new products, facials, and dermatologist appointments will find answers as Artemis illustrates the energizing elements of sun, fresh air, water, the earth, and plants. This book is a comprehensive resource for anyone who wants to simplify their self-care, take their health into their own hands, and discover their own radiant beauty.
What is beauty? We all feel that a redefinition is in order, but the pioneers in this shift may come from a surprising arena. That is the intersection of science and spirituality, a vanguard front of change that will transform us from the inside out leaving us feeling nurtured, whole, and finally comfortable in our own skin. Renegade Beauty is a guide to this new terrain, complete with a personal roadmap for your own experience of beauty from the practical to the etheric. More than simply a beauty book, this is one of the most comprehensive guides to the new paradigm of health and medicine including essential myth-busting and evidence-based tips for true health and wellness. A long-time fan and supporter of Nadine's alchemical creations, this text reminds us how to get exactly where we most desire to go - home to the web of wonder that is the natural world. This book has soared to the top of my list for awakened vitality and self-healing.
—KELLY BROGAN MD, Holistic Psychiatrist and Author of The NY Times Bestseller, A Mind of Your Own
“Renegade Beauty melted me into the revelation that my body will heal –– and beautify –– if I stop short-circuiting it's power with chemicals and quick fixes. The beauty industry is a disempowering (and toxic) industry. Nadine's type of knowledge is the lotion and potion we need to apply.”
—DANIELLE LAPORTE, author of The Desire Map and White Hot Truth
“Nadine Artemis has been my essential oil mentor since I was 19 years old. She is a savant alchemist whose teachings are on the front lines of the self-care movement. I recommend her products and her teachings of profound visionary service to any and all.”
—ALANIS MORISSETTE
“Renegade Beauty poetically demonstrates Nadine’s devotion to glorifying true beauty— our inner beauty— and explores the ways we can harmonize with nature’s healing gifts and natural rhythms. A beautiful and unique book that offers far more than the beauty routine you might expect!”
—ANTHONY WILLIAM, Author of Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal
“Simply reading Renegade Beauty made me feel more beautiful. Nadine’s scientific and poetic style equals the lavish abundance of nature that she extols to restore. I loved reading about beauty from Nadine's perspective.”
—CAROL ALT, health advocate, actor, Fox News host, supermodel and author of A Healthy You
The truth will set you free. Seek and thou shall find… These are universal truths that stand the test of time. And these virtues, it seems to me, are at the heart of what these words Renegade Beauty mean.
The pursuit of vitality is navigated through deep listening. We quickly burn through our youthful reserves, as few of us have been taught how to replenish. The loss of this vital energy is key as to whether we live an inspired life. (One must have stamina to pursue what one dares to imagine.)
Nature has always been my teacher, so to turn to her divine intelligence as the source of my healing, renewed potency, and sustained power simply makes sense. All around us we see what is to become of us: old-age, illness, death… It is mimicked in nature all around us. No flower stays in full bloom forever. The wither comes for us all. Thank you, Nadine, for generously sharing your life’s passion with us. Guiding us and reminding us what we know is true. She ain’t called Mother Nature for nuthin’. She is what we are made of. Therefore, it is she that can heal us.
The beauty one seeks IS the gift returned by the vitality lived in pursuit of these Truths.
Stay thirsty - and let Them spill unto Thee. There is no way to peace; peace is the way.
—LISA BONET ~ LILAKOI MOON
“Finally! The truth about beauty and skincare from someone I love and trust whose book will be a bible on the bookshelf for my three girls.
I am most excited that this book will positively impact the future generations of young girls and women who are becoming aware earlier and younger in their lives of the emphasis society places on appearance and beauty. Nadine's knowledge and her deep wisdom about the body and what TRULY creates beauty is obvious and will be a relief for women everywhere. And, young women will be armed with knowledge of what to avoid and what to embrace and all with the poetic beauty that springs forth from this magical woman's heart.”

I keep coming back to it, it's my new beauty and wellness bible! I can't wait to have some time to create some of the amazing recipes, Beach Breeze Hair Spray and Cleopatra Charcoal Mascara are top of my list!

Feels like a meditation
BIG thanks and-if possible-a hug to Nadine for her books and work... I have been for many many years ago happy about aromatherapy and participated in some courses in aroma massage ,.....using etheric oils on and off through all my life.... But when reading -first the "tooth book" and now the "beauty book" from Nadine- it feels like a meditation for me. I resonate so strongly with her words and messages /and the way she says it/ , that I really love and appreciate that. It´s far beyond the cognitive understanding of it...and this is, what feels like a present for me, being normally too much in my left hemisphere... ..Blessed be your products, your company and all of you over there
I have been so thankful for this book
“I think we must stop treating beauty as a thing or quality, and see it instead as a kind of communion.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have been so thankful for this book as of late- returning to it over and over again for wisdom and affirmation. Especially within the past few days. Nadine’s view of beauty and life is poetic and makes my heart soar. We need more of this, for as I post more on here I also spend more time scrolling through images of others trying to create space for themselves, which can be inspiring and refreshing but can also be down right infuriating and disheartening. So many popular bloggers are posting about these expensive, luxurious beauty items and supplements and must dos and haves for self care and it's alarming. Women and men alike are getting the message that it's just ONE more item or ONE more to-do before they achieve full satisfaction with themselves; before they feel like they're caring adequately for themselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I understand betterment and I understand wishing to help others achieve this. However, I wish more people spoke about this communion as Nadine does; this communion of spirit, physicality, emotionality, and that which is external. Finding a place where we are in reckoning with all of these forces in our lives. This asks us to dive inside to find that beauty and satisfaction that we've been after... that which we thought would come with those new products or new diet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This kind of self-care, this kind of beauty-- it's available to anyone because it lies within each of us. “An unimagined beauty flows through you.” Through each of us. @livinglibations
A must read
I've always thought of witches as botanists. In my mind, the archetype of the witch is a powerful, wild and free woman living in the woods, with a vast knowledge of plants. Nadine Artemis of @livinglibations is the ultimate witch to me ❤️. Her book #renegadebeauty is a must read. Full of scientific information about gut health, safe sun exposure and truly natural beauty.
A comprehensive manual for beauty
Inspiring, engaging, informative! Reading this book is turning into a meditative soul enriching ritual; I looks forward to carving out time for whenever I can. Thank you for creating this! It is such a comprehensive manual for beauty ~ I am sharing with all the women in my life in hopes to spark their interest towards a greater quality of health, wellness and life.
I recommend this brand if you are looking for high quality, natural products.
I used @livinglibations years ago and it worked on my acne prone skin. I was crazy to not reorder it. Now my skin is out of control with all the drugstore products because I was too lazy to continue my natural routine. I have repurchased Nadine’s high quality products and also her second book.
Chock full of amazing information, recipes, oh my gosh love it!
Just want to say what a joy all your creations are! I have tried verve and tonic, sea buckthorn best skin ever, vanilla chocolate, rose best skin ever, breast massage oil, poetic pits pal santos, sea buckthorn shampoo, petal soother, and lover lips cocoa, moccasin flower perfume, and I have loved every product! Just placed another order and am trying trees please for my husband, best skin ever frankincense, poetic pits earth ( can’t recall full name) True Blue shampoo, and a sleep oil for face. I am sooo excited for them to get here. Alchemy at its finest. Purest products and they work! My daughter had some kind of major dry skin issue behind one ear for months and months... and caused her a lot of embarrassment because visually it was very very obvious. we tried prescription creams, pure tea tree, coconut oil, olive oil, a large amount of drug store creams, NOTHING WORKED! Put sea buckthorn best skin ever, cleared up in three days... ❤️❤️❤️ Also reading your book and am in awe of your wisdom!
A Masterpiece!
Wow! This book is dripping with gems on every page. This book is a treasure and is cherished by me and my daughters. Thank-you
Love this book
Love this book. I have also been a living libations fan and now having Nadine's wealth of knowledge in a book is fantastic. I really like the way she not only generously shares formulations she addresses "essential beauty" and the cultural context that influences our view of beauty. Working in the health field I really value her up to date research and the poetical language of the book. Much easier for me to absorb than a step by step how to manual. No matter what your age I think you will feel uplifted by how she writes and the book makes me feel more beautiful - Thank you!! Great to be able to step away from the beauty counter without feeling the need to give up on wanting to be beautiful. Review from Amazon.com
I love it!
I have been waiting for a book from Nadine Artemis. I have listened to her interviews in several podcasts and she has really a fantastic person who helps people to understand the problem with most beauty products and gives wonderful advise how you can make your own beauty products and how your beauty really comes from inside out. Review from Amazon.
After reading this book, you will never shop department beauty counters again....
I have been a loyal Living Libations customer for a few years... I love their ethically sourced ingredients/products and the way my 55 year old skin has perked up by using them. Renegade Beauty is a gem... a wealth of information on beauty, botanicals and the science behind it. Nadine Artemis’ book could be considered a Botanical Beauty Bible... her knowledge is vast and backed by science in an easy to read, sometimes poetic, manner. I highly recommend this book for women (and men) of all ages who care about clean products that go in and on their bodies. Review from Amazon.
Call me a renegade!
Don’t let the pretty cover and all of the vibrant pictures fool you – Renegade Beauty is no fluff read. Artemis addresses every discipline that touches beauty. She starts with history and philosophy, moves to science, and ends with a mixture of botany and cosmetology...or maybe I should say cosmoetics. (When you read it you’ll understand.) There is a lot of science in here. She cites biology, dermatology, microbiology, and botany research studies to back up the assertions she makes in the book: why we need nature, why we really should toss most of our drug store and department store cosmetics, and why clean living and plant products are better alternatives. You don’t need a biology degree to understand these chapters either – her sense of humor and light-handed writing style are the spoon full of sugar that help the medicine go down (the pretty pictures help, too). And there is plenty of “how-to” for the DIY types like me. The last few chapters of the book are all about botanical recipes and tips for using plant oils – and, boy is it comprehensive! This goes way, way beyond fixing sags, bags, and wrinkles. From eye lashes to fingernails, pregnancy to perfume, and digestion to tooth brushing – it’s all in there. I bought the book because I am stepping back from commercialism and rethinking the ethics of the cosmetics industry, and Renegade Beauty is going to be my guide to a saner, natural, and more compassionate sense of beauty. Call me a renegade! I'm officially a fan. Review form Amazon
Goddess, genius, this book is everything you need to know!
Nadine, you have brought healing and guidance to my life when I needed it most. In a world where we are taught to look outwardly for healing and beauty, you guide the way back to self love and the heart. I’m so grateful every day for the knowledge, purity and integrity you bring to the world.
Makes it pretty easy to dive into a beauty routine that involves nature’s gifts
While we have never before experienced as much technology as we do today, this also means that we’ve never been so bombarded with ads and other people’s ideas of what would make us beautiful. In direct defiance of that, Nadine Artemis has encouraged women to embrace nature and the elements and to forgo the chemicals, products, facials, and so on. With a bevy of famous women as fans, it’s not hard to see why Artemis’s ideas, and her new tome Renegade Beauty, have a following. It also makes it pretty easy to dive into a beauty routine that involves nature’s gifts—as well as your own. Books That Bring Us Joy: November 2017 from Books for Better Living

Frankincense Essential Oil – Frankincense Oil is an eternal offering of crystalline-clarity from the sap of the frankincense tree. Liquid pearls from the tree of life, Frankincense Oil, or Boswellia carterii, is hydro-distilled from the ‘tears’ or ‘pearls’ of the tree’s resin. Astringent and anti-inflammatory, frankincense is traditionally used to treat scar tissue and skin ulcers. It nourishes dry and prematurely aging skin, and is an excellent immuno-stimulant.

Review(s)
Instant relief in a bottle!
This product you'll feel working immedeately when you apply it. Lovely fresh, 'green' and delicately sweet scent. It freshens, cools, rejuvenates and firms the skin. Perfect for dull, damp, polluted or warm environments ... it will instantly take you to the green freshness and cooling breeze of the forest ...at least that's how it feels to me :-) It feels so soothing and calming on the eye, brow and temple area. If you're a type that gets easily overheated, agited or angry - or if you easily get headaches, you might wanna try the Open Sky Eye Serum for a treat.
Bright, alert eyes - Refreshing, enlightening, firming
I do believe this has helped lighten up the former dark circles under my eyes, and helped with the puffiness - my eye area just overall looks better! It's just one of those things that happens gradually, and then suddenly you notice the new beauty progress that catches your eye in the mirror :) I love putting this all over my face, not just the eye area. It is very firming, and clear, and I have gotten compliments on how good my skin looks with this on. Very clarifying, and I love how refreshing this feels because of the mint in conjunction with all the other wonderful ingredients. When I want to feel expansive, enlightened, and aware, I put this on. Indeed, during application, it is best not to put it too close to the eye line, otherwise the eyes can start watering. However, sometimes I actually enjoy the bit of tearing up this provides, because it 'washes' my eyes into a brighter green colour - like aromatherapy for the eyes! Still, just putting it along the eye socket bone is nice enough :) Eye area looks great with this on - so bright and alert. A little definitely goes a long way, half a drop then spreading it onto eye areas fulfills its use perfectly. Massaging it between the brows and onto forehead temple also feels exceptionally relaxing. Nadine is such an awesome creator. Looking and feeling truly beautiful. Thank you
Lovely...but am I using it wrong?
I received my order yesterday and am in love with the true fragrance. The oil feels good and I can already see some improvement in my dark circles and puffiness. It does burn the eyes a bit. Will I adjust? [Libations comment: use this lovely serum around the eyes, but not on eyes or eyelids; it is potent and a little goes a long way]
hollowness under the eyes
I'm writing to thank you, Nadine, for yet another incredibly effective product -- Open Sky Eye Serum. I had contacted you personally about the hollows or sagginess I was noticing under my eyes and you suggested this product to me. It works! The skin under my eyes has most definitely pulled up or grown collegen or somehow regenerated because I no longer have the sagging definition that I had before using the product. I would tell anyone who is aging and losing some of the fullness underneath their eyes to try this serum. I've been using it for probably two months and the results are noticeable and incredible. Natural plant essences rock!! Thanks Nadine. P.S. I'm surprised no one else has reviewed this product. People try this, you'll be happy you did.
so many uses in one bottle
this is an amazing product. it really heals skin around the eyes. I love it. I use it everyday and the smell is divine. I even mix it with best skin ever and a wonderful overall moisturizer. thank you
next day eyes
oh dear. i used this one the day of my sister's wedding. the night before was late and rowdy and i woke up with puffy eyes. within 10 minutes of using open eye, the skin around my eyes was not puffy anymore. the pictures looked amazing. it is my secret weapon after a long late night! thank you, thank you, thank you.
smells great
love this product. so natural, so fresh, so gentle. i use it everyday.
helps after a day of computer work
hi there, i wanted to write a review of this product. thank you so much. i work in a dark office, under florescent lights and by a computer all day long, every day. At the end of the day, my eyes feel strained and bloodshot. I come home and use open eye sky serum and my eyes feel the relief they crave all day. Thanks a lot.
My Eyes Look Amazing!
I am currently wearing the Open Sky eye Serum, my eyes have been puffy and dry lately, they look and feel amazing! (I just got it in the post this morning) I've never been a fan or addicted to beauty products such as Lancome, Clinique, etc...but this is it. I've found my product. How can anyone feel guilty about putting 100% natural products on their body? I feel like you create magic!
WOW * WoW * wow!
I wanted to write to let you know that I ordered your "Open Sky Eye Serum" with my last order & all I can think of to say is that it is AMAZING! I actually intended to place my 'regular' order for dewdab & hand cream - but the Open Sky Eye Serum seemed to be 'calling' to me...so I 'splurged' & included a bottle of it in my order... I've been using it for about 1 week & WOW * WoW * wow! I LOVE it, I just use a drop or two to gently massage around my eyes-both in the morning & at night...strangely I find it both 'awakens' me in the morning & 'calms' or soothes me at night - perhaps that has to do with its effects on the pineal gland(?) Whatever the reason - I will not be without this amazing serum again! Thank you+*+*+*+ for the gifts you share with the world ~ Becky

What is a Derma Roller?
Derma Rolling has been around for years, previously only used by prestigious dermatologists for anti-aging and beautification purposes. It is a secret amongst celebrities, actors and actresses but the secret is coming out! You can now utilize this amazing longevity and beauty tool in the comforts of your own home.
Essentially, it’s a micro-needled roller. As you roll the microneedles across the surface of your skin, it creates micro-punctures along the dermis and epidermis skin layers. This evokes an acute inflammatory response, which stimulates the healing process, cell generation, blood and oxygen flow and thus renewed, healthier skin.
The Science Behind Derma Rolling: Micro-wounding, Healing & Skin Regeneration
When tissues in our bodies become injured, there is a natural inflammatory response that helps the body repair the injury. If an injury is severe, it can result in chronic inflammation, which causes the wound to heal imperfectly, resulting in scar tissue. A Derma Roller, like a massage, creates a very minor injury to the skin, which generates acute inflammation that can achieve perfect healing.
The science behind Derma Rolling’s anti-aging abilities have much to do with this process. Through Derma Rolling, we can intentionally stimulate the healing process, which arouses skin cell regeneration and regrowth. It works on everything from acne, to severe skin scars that are already riddled with calcification and fibrosis.
There are likely two mechanisms responsible for this:
Calcification Regulation – One of the major benefits of Derma Rolling, and why I got into it, is its profound ability to healing scars. By intentionally inflicting micro-wounds to the skin, the process of calcification (scar tissue) is downregulated. Derma Rolling turns down what are known as “calcification inducers”, while increasing Growth Factor Beta 1 & 2, and also up-regulating calcification inhibitors. Together, this inhibits the further production of scar tissue, reverses it and promotes future healing. This is fantastic news for anyone with scarring issues, be it acne scarring or worse.
Angiogenesis – Also known as the formation of new blood vessels and capillary networks that provide oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells; derma rolling aids in this process. This is hugely beneficial to the skin, considering that most aging issues of the skin (wrinkles, pigmentation, sagging) are caused by decreased oxygen and blood flow to the skin cells. But Derma Rolling reverses this process, helping the body produce new blood vessels, and providing starving skin cells with more blood, oxygen and nutrients.
With these primary actions, Derma Rollers are scientifically proven to:
Increase absorption of nutrients from your favorite skincare products – as you Derma Roll, blood circulation to the capillaries in your skin dramatically increases. Therefore, any moisturizers, serums or masks you use will work even better as the nutrients in them are driven to your skin cells.
Make your skin younger – your skin will not only look younger; it will actually be younger on a cellular level. Microneedling leads to the release of growth factors which stimulate the formation of new collagen (collagen synthesis), and elastin in the papillary dermis. In other words, it renews your skin cells, creating younger, healthier, flawless skin.
Regenerate new skin cells and blood vessels, it’s like a cellular makeover for your skin.
Eliminate scar tissue, stretch marks, cellulite, and minimize pores – along with any other inflammatory issues of the skin, acne and other blemishes.
Cleaning Your Derma Roller It is very important to sterilize your derma roller between uses. You can do so by using isopropyl alcohol or hydrogen peroxide; we recommend using isopropyl alcohol. Simply submerge your roller in a cup of alcohol for 1 to 5 minutes. You can then let it air dry or shake off the excess liquid prior to use.

One of the most nourishing skin oils of all!
Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera) – Pure, virgin coconut crème becomes a liquid at 75-degrees. When it comes in contact with a 98-degree body, it effortlessly melts into the skin. Luscious Coconut crème eases premature aging and protects and heals dry skin.

Zinc Oxide – Non-nanoparticle uncoated pharmaceutical-grade zinc oxide is the purest form of zinc available. The molecular size of these zinc particles are too large to be absorbed by the skin. We prefer uncoated zinc oxide as this is purer than titanium dioxide and coated zinc oxide is made with a synthetic silicone coating, triethoxycaprylylsilane. Uncoated zinc is known to improve the appearance of age spots and melasma, too.
Raspberry Seed (Rubus idaeus) Essential Oil – Ravishing red raspberry seed oil is like a pleasant parasol on the sun.

Tamanu (Calophyllum inophyllum) Oil – Enchanting tamanu is a regenerative berry oil that is easily absorbed deep into the skin to keep moisture in and protect the skin from dryness. Tamanu is said to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of scars. Even for a fatty oil, it has a high (92%!) lipid content. It is also a wonderful ingredient in moisturizers for acne-prone skin.
Schizandra Berry (Schisandra chinensis) Essential Oil – Used for over 3,000 years as one of the most important herbs in Chinese medicine, Schizandra berry slows signs of aging of the skin. This wonderful berry inspires positivity and energizes the spirit. A staple in Traditional Chinese Medicine, these red berries have been used for thousands of years to boost the body’s chi.
Laurel Wax (Myrica pubescens) Essential Oil – Lovely laurel waxes poetic on your cheeks and balms a breathable, loving layer on your skin. This fine fruit wax is a blessing from the berry of an evergreen shrub that grows at high altitudes in the Andes.
Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum) Essential Oil – Everlasting immortelle is stellar and shines divine for all kinds of skincare. This fragrant-floral oil is wild-crafted on the island of Corsica where the flowers prosper with ocean breezes and sunshine. The flowers grow at an altitude of 4,000 feet on the rocky countryside cliffs. Immortelle aids in abating the appearance of scars, spots, melasma, redness and fine lines. This multifaceted gem of an oil is uplifting emotionally as well.
Carrot Seed (Daucus carota) Essential Oil – Queen Anne’s lace anoints your face with queenly grace. Carrot oil stimulates oil production in pitch perfect ratios, regardless of your skin’s current state. Oily, dry, and combination skin can all benefit from the stimulating, moisturizing power of carrot seed.
Rose Otto (Rosa damascena) Essential Oil – Rose otto offers oh-so-much-more than an ambrosial aroma. It is also the most tonifying of all the rose oils. It is an incredibly elegant and precious essence. It takes sixty roses to make a single drop of rose otto essential oil! This regal botanical adds resiliency, elasticity, and moisture to the skin to minimize signs of aging and give the skin a rosy glow. It reduces the look of age spots, and it also smells amazing!
Cape Chamomile (Eriocephalus punctulatus) Essential Oil - Captivating cape chamomile’s exudes a beautiful, fine fruity-floral fragrance that is one of my favorite aromas.

Review(s)
By far the best “sunscreen” I have ever used.
Everybody loves the Sunshine with zinc Beachbalm! This is by far the best “sunscreen” I have ever used. we usually use the liquid form which has liquid essential oil‘s. But I bought this one to put on my kids and it works fabulous. I have not used commercial sunscreen and many, many years. It is filled with cancerous chemicals and toxic parabens. It also blocks our bodies absorption of vitamin D. So why would I even consider putting that on my children’s skin. This is by far the healthiest, safest version of sunscreen I have yet to come across. Thank you @livinglibations for making such amazing products!
I love this product!
I also have it in the chapstick size for tiny areas on face and use this one shown for shoulders, chest. Works fantastic and smells wonderful but best of all knowing how pure the ingredients are!!
Amazing Product
"I purchased this item based on one review. I am so pleased with this product. I bought the large size for my daughter and the next size down for myself. I regret not buying myself the larger one because this is all I will use from now on. This product feels so good on my skin (face and body) and I love the smell so much I could eat it. Thanks for continuing to make amazing clean, rejuvenating products. I love all your products that I have purchased and I have purchased many, You never disappoint. Thank-you Wanda "
I underestimated this product!
"I am sooo glad I gave this product a try! I purchased the 5 mL size because of the price just in case it didn't work for me I wouldn't feel bad about the money I spent. Also, there weren't any reviews yet so I didn't know what kind of results to expect. Needless to say, I just purchased my second balm! I got the 5 mL size again because although it is the size of a chap stick a little goes a long way, and it lasted for 2 1/2 months. You can't beat that! My skin is pretty normal. I have some *** scars, and I usually break out a bit during my moon-time cycle. I use this product at night before I go to bed about 4x/week. I apply it the same way you would apply a highlighter on your face and then blend it all in with my finger. It looks the same way your face would look if you applied a sun care product on your face but after about an hr my skin absorbs the product. When I wake up my skin looks flawless. It diminishes the appearance of the spot *** in size, redness, and I am noticing that the appearance of my scars are also diminishing! You have to give this product a try! "

Understanding the Aroma of Ozone
If you are new to ozonated oil, the smell can be surprising as it is reminiscent of the aroma of charged air during a lightning storm. Most people love the fresh charged aroma, while others, at first sniff, find it strong and unusual. These folks find it more enjoyable after using ozone for a few days.

Ozonated Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis O3) Essential Oil – Jojoba is juiced with opulent ozone to supercharge skin! When ozone is added to wholesome jojoba a whole new level of abundance is achieved. Activated oxygen, ozone, is made by charging pure oxygen (two oxygen atoms - O2) to become pure ozone (with three oxygen atoms - O3). This freshly activated oxygen is then slowly infused into jojoba. Bubbling ozone through jojoba further fortifies the oil with a breath of fresh air infusing life force right into the skin. Jojoba is the desert’s answer to dryness. Dwelling among sand storms and cacti, jojoba emerges as an ebullient, emollient oasis. As this strong shrub bakes underneath the desert sun, pearls of liquid gold germinate inside jojoba seeds. These seeds burst forth a golden oil that is cold-press extracted to deliver a lipid that is super similar to our skin’s natural sebum. Sinking effortlessly into skin, it transfers phytonutrients supporting the skin retain to moisture and replenish elasticity. Brilliantly beneficial to skin with its abundance of nutrients and vitamin E tocopherols, jojoba lubricates like oil, yet it is actually a liquid plant wax, making it perfectly pitched to balance oily skin as it regulates sebum and purifies pores. Resiliently rich and silky, jojoba provides long-lasting moisture.

Divine grace for beauty and face, radiant rose revives every filament of our being with its elegant essence. It takes sixty roses to make one drop of rose otto essential oil!
