Ignite the senses with organic infusions of raw vanilla beans drenched in virgin coconut oil for months on end. Our signature solution unleashes the aromatic awesomeness of pure vanilla while anointing the coconut oil with all the fortifying, soothing, moisturizing powers vanilla has to offer. To this sweet-smelling treat we have added soothing seabuckthorn to even skin tone, wholesome jojoba to balance oil production, tried and true tamanu oil to infuse each skin cell with beneficial lipids, lovely lavender oil to soothe and calm, vibrant vetiver to tone, grateful grapefruit to energize, and pure palmarosa to purify the unknown.
Directions:
Put one or two squirts into your palm. Using your fingertips, gently massage the face, neck, or body.
Vanilla Best Skin Ever™ may be used to cleanse the face and body (and many people do), though unbalanced or acne prone skin will see happier results from Seabuckthorn, Rose, Frankincense, Sandalwood, or Neroli Best Skin Ever™.
All Organic Ingredients:
Fresh Vanilla Beans infused in Virgin Coconut oil (Vanilla Planifolia + Cocos Nucifera) – Vanilla is associated with comfort and sensuality. We soak raw, organic vanilla beans in pure virgin coconut oil for a full moon cycle until the sensual essence and soothing nature of vanilla saturates every molecule of the coconut oil.
Virgin Coconut oil (Cocos Nucifera) – This nourishing, non-comedogenic oil is a creamy, dreamy treat from your head down to your feet! Virgin coconut oil is rich and moisturizing for the skin. Easy absorption helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and promote elasticity. Coconut oil is also used to eradicate free radicals and protect the skin from damage.
Golden Jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis) – Golden, organic jojoba oil is naturally rich in lipids and peptides, which provide long-lasting conditioning effects for the skin. Jojoba balances oil production in all skin types. In fact, jojoba so closely resembles natural skin oil that your skin is effortlessly absorbs it. Jojoba contains eight different forms of vitamin E plus phenolic compounds.
Seabuckthorn Berry (Hippophae rhamnoides) – Our exclusive supercritical extraction of seabuckthorn is packed with antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamins, phytosterols, carotenoids, and over 190 bioactive compounds. This undisputed star of natural skincare works to soften, moisturize, protect, and regenerate the skin at the deepest possible level. Seabuckthorn is able to penetrate deep inside each skin cell, infusing the inner and outer layers with moisture and protection. It suppresses inflammation by inhibiting the activity of an inflammation-causing compound called NF-kB. Seabuckthorn is used to strengthen cell membranes, prevent water loss, moisturize dry skin, and heal wounds, burns, and stretch marks.
Tamanu oil (Calophyllum inophyllum) – Tamanu berry oil is extracted from beautiful, exotic tamanu berries that contain hidden healing secrets for the skin. Packed with 92% lipids, tamanu oil offers incredible absorption and a delectable fragrance that is earthy, nutty, and awe-inspiring.
Lavender (Lavendula augustifolia) – Lovely scented lavender is healing, therapeutic, and restorative for the skin. It is an effective burn treatment, anti-inflammatory agent, and skin cell regenerator. Lavender is antibiotic, antiseptic, and is used to tone the skin and prevent scarring. It is perfectly suited to all skin types.
Vetiver (Vetivera zizanodes) – Vivacious vetiver oil is an earthy, grounding essence distilled from tropical grass. Calming and moisturizing for skin, vetiver is used to give the skin a plump, youthful appearance while offering a rich, rooty aroma.
Grapefruit (Citrus paradisii) – Gracious grapefruit is cheering, energizing, and uplifting for the skin and spirit. It tones and firms the skin and is used to clear up breakouts, prevent blemishes, and promote healthy lymphatic flow.
Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini) – Like vetiver oil, palmarosa oil is also extracted from wild, fragrant grasses, but palmarosa smells positively fruity! Packed with tonifying phytochemicals, palmarosa is antiviral, antiseptic, and regenerative. It is said to optimize oil production, produce healthy skin cells, and protect the skin from external toxins.

Review(s)
A more expensive product but so well worth it...the @livinglibations Vanilla Best Skin Ever! I used 2-3 pumps to oil cleanse my face EVERY night! This product has done wonders for my skin and I refuse to be without it! I started using this product on 9/2/16 and just ran out last night. I got a little over six months use out of this 110 ml bottle so when I break down that price...I can totally live with the cost! From greenlivingforme on instagram
I truly enjoyed both BSE Vanilla and I love how I sometimes smell the vanilla come through as I cleanse my skin with this beautiful oil/serum. it's truly amazing.
I am totally in love with my recent purchase of “LIVING LIBATIONS best skin ever - vanilla”. Always being a vanilla girl, over the choice of chocolate or vanilla, I had to get this 'best skin ever (BSE)' as my first (of many to come) BSE purchases. It smells divine. A heady mix of vanilla, earthy & woody, that lingers on your skin all day, making you feel like a magical, sensual vanilla-ry goddess of light. I will definitely be re-purchasing. Along with every other Living Libations products
this was the first best skin ever i've used. my acne started to develop when i was 23. after struggling for a couple of years, i came across the oil cleansing method. at first i tried it with extra virgin coconut oil, cold pressed. it didn't work and i gave up. was determined to try it once again with essential oils, because my skin seem to react better with herbs/essential oils added. that started my research and found living libations. it healed my acne. and within a couple days of use, i already felt a huge difference. to be honest, now i just use water to wash my face (i live in HK, a 80%plus humidity and 30C plus temperature place) and add one drop of BSE after, and finally spritz with rose hydrosol and pat that all in. dun be greedy with it, all you need is a couple of drop max, each time. it absorbs matte (yay!) and smells a little exotic vanilla spicy, paired with my rose water = heaven. now my colleges ask me what treatments i get to get clear skin =)...and i replied no treatments needed. i would suggest looking at what essential oils are used in each BSE to get max benefit. now, on my next wishlist would probably be frankincense one, to get rid of the hyper pigmentation and increase my skin's overall healing process. thank you LL <3
the best skin ever Vanilla version is my absolute favourite. who ever said vanilla was bland. This is a perfume and a skin solution. i use it with the rose glow cream for even more deliciousness!!!
perfect in every way. vanilla is a beautiful touch. makes my skin exactly the way i want it to. perfect.
"the best skin ever is such a wonderful obvious idea. once you start washing your face with oil, the thought of using soap just feels harsh and abrasive. of course you use oil to treat the tender skin of your face. so nourishing. i wish i had this product my whole life. i am so happy i have it now. smells delicious too."
"i wanted to share with you my gratitude for your divine creations. i am so blessed to be adorned with these essences. i often draw inspiration from the sweet vibes and graceful intention with which you and ron so loving nurture leif as well as the light and joyful innocence he is bringing into this world. i hope to see you, ron, and leif soon on my next magical odyssey"
I have been using the Best Skin Ever and I absolutely love it. I use it to wash my face, as a moisturizer and sometimes as a body oil. It's totally versatile and you only need one product. It smells amazing and my skin glows. Fabulous products.
I absolutely adore the Vanilla Best Skin Ever. It is beautiful as a body moisturizer and leaves the skin so soft. The smell is absolutely divine-I get so many compliments from both men and women, of all ages using this product.
I have been using both the Vanilla and Seabuckthorn Best Skin Ever scents and the Vanilla is hands down my FAVORITE. The scent is similar to that of Seakbuckthorn but the vanilla really comes through. It's very feminine and soothing...I want this scent to be my perfume, deodorant, and overall scent. It's amazing. Nadine and Ron - please never stop creating these unique products...I use nothing but Living Libations on my skin!
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.
