5 stars
This product is divine. It is so wonderful. I have not broken out at all which I am prone to still at 43. My skin feels so soft and cared for. I don't even need a face moisturizer after this product.
Saved my skin
"After a major *** breakout I was left with red marks all over my face. I tried everything but nothing worked. Not only has this miracle product dramatically diminished the appearance of all red marks after only one week of use, I have had no new spots since. I will never be without this product. Thank you!"
THANK YOU!!!
Dear Nadine, I don't know what magic & unicorns went into making Cell-Serum but THANK YOU!!!
Love it!
No need for chemical based products or processes when I've got cell serum!! LOVE it!
Living Libations Cell Serum is ExCELLent!!!
"Over a year ago I hurt my big toe, a short time later I did the same to my other big toe. They were in bad shape, so much so that I started to wear closed shoes. I decided to apply the Cell Serum neat on the nail and around the cuticle of my toes. Each night for a week, just before going to bed, I used 2 drops of Cell Serum on each toe and massaged it into the toe nails and cuticles. Then I put organic cotton socks on to let my feet breathe. The appearance of the visible damage I'd done to my toes began to fade and my toe nails started to regrow! It was a huge relief to see an improvement with my toe nails in such a short space of time since I began using Cell Serum."
Face food
Phytonutrient face food that seeps into the skin for deep*** rejuvenation. This potent serum enhances the sovereign radiance of skin. Another cool mix of ingredients in a serum include organic: cumin seed, broccoli seed, jojoba oils, with MSM infused into seabuckthorn berry, frankincense, cinnamon, chamomile, lavender, turmeric, and immortelle. ****Beware now though – this is (probably) going to make your face flush and go red for 30 minutes or so. Don’t be alarmed, but be prepared. The cinnamon and cumin invigorate the skin, infusing it with fresh nutrients. I’d recommend not putting this on just before a date ;)****
Soft & alive
Living Libations Cell Serum, another wonderful creation.Skin feels so soft and alive. Loving it beyond words.
Face food
I use a drop of this ‘face food’ in the morning and at night under my face cream - it’s brill to use in the morning for waking up your skin and senses.
BEYOND AMAZING!!!
What more do I have to say other than this product is beyond amazing! I apply this serum to my face once a day after cleansing with sea buckthorn best skin ever and my skin has never felt better. I am 23 years old and over the course of the past year I have tried SO many different natural skin products and none have provided me with satisfying results. I lost all hope until I came across the living libations skin products. I have been using these products for two weeks now and I can honestly say that my skin has never looked better! My skin is glowing and I am more than confident leaving the house with out an ounce of makeup! I can not thank living libations enough for creating honest and natural products that provide you with exceptional results! I just ordered the honey myrtle deep conditioning mask, I can't wait to try it!!
totally obsessed
I have tried several of your products and really like them all, But I am totally obsessed with the smell of Cell Serum (I think it's the cumin oil)!
Wow!
Wow! I just received my first order and only been using your amazing products for a few days and already I've noticed such dramatic improvements in my skin. Maybe its the combo of both Best Skin Ever Frankincense and Cell Serum I’m not sure which but I’ve had a small red spot on my nose that never seemed to go away and now its appeared to have almost disappeared! I can’t thank you enough and only wished I had known about your products 30 years ago. I’m now retired and on a limited income but I will continue to buy and try more of your wonderful products’ actually look forward to putting these products on they are simply amazing, Thank You SO MUCH...I will never buy any other brands again
smell
I have tried several of your products and really like them all, But I am totally obsessed with the smell of Cell Serum (I think it's the cumin oil)!
my face is glowing
Received my items in the mail and I was so excited!! Thanks for sending it so quick! Cell serum is a new product for me and after using it tonight my face is glowing and my love commented that I looked lovely without my makeup and smelled divine!!!! Thanks for creating such beautiful products!
Delicious Nectar!
The best product that LL makes. This serum smells fantastic, awakens the senses, brightens my skin and gives me a rosy glow immediately. I like to exfoliate my face with baking soda then apply this serum. It softens lines and plumps my skin. The Cinnamon gives a pop and a tingle to my face, a great wake up in the morning! I also like to apply this after a day outside in the sun, it gives my skin a drink and instantly makes sun kissed skin seem less thirsty. The serum goes on dry and does not leave an oily touch. Feels very nutritional. The best ever!
Glowing Happy Skin!
The cell serum has really impressed me! I am 24 and have been converting to only natural and safe products on my skin for the past 5 years. This is one of my favorites by far! I used to use a $170 bottle of skinceuticals vitamin c serum (for extra protection) but switched to the cell serum and am thrilled with this decision!! My skin glows more than ever before and drank this up immediately. Skin feels so soft and this also brightens the skin. Smells DELICIOUS and fresh. Skin may get a little pink when first absorbing because the ingredients are very warming, but you can feel it working into the skin. Beautifully made. You can mix a little with the Sea Buckthorn oil if desired. I wouldn't go without this or the All Seeing Eye Cream! Both will enable you to wake up with a flawless glow.
Serum-Perfection
I love the consistency of this.It is a little thicker then some of the other products (not in a heavy way just a smooth thickness.) I love how it feels the moment it touches my skin. I apply it nightly mixed with dew dab after I have cleansed with frankincense best skin ever. My skin is silky soft and eagerly absorbs the wonderful ingredients this product contains. Love, love, love it!
The best thing I have done for my skin..
This is my absolute favourite creation from Living Libations! I use a few drops before bed every evening, after washing my face with Seabuckthorn Bet Skin Ever. By the next morning my skin is soft & radiant, completely refreshed! I'm 33 and my skin has never looked better.. and the scent is positively divine~ thank you Nadine!
LOVE IT!!!
"This is one of the most amazing products I have tried. So many people have have been asking me what I have Been doing. My skin glows!"
Cell Serendipity
I mix cell serum with Vitamin D creme - and sometimes add night nectar - Cell Serum lifts, lightens and invigorates - you can feel it working and it tingles - my skin in the morning looks like I've had an oxygen facial - I am addicted! after many years with Holt Renfrew's couture skin lines (i.e. La mer) this is far superior and a little goes a long way :) love it.
I love the Cell Serum
I love the Cell Serum for 3 reasons, first I know the ingredients as a practitioner and they are very powerful, second its the first product that has ever shown a dramatic change in less than 24 hours - with no chemicals, and lastly it smells and feels amazing on!
Excellent
This is the first time I have ever used a product that is actually fading appearance of the brown spots on my face and also hydrating and soothing a dry, scaly patch on my nose. And it has happened within just a few days!
Cell Serum Creates a New Song
I LOVE CELL SERUM! My cells are singing and dancing to a new high vibrational tune. Thank you Nadine for this divine new tonal creation. My skin looks, feels and acts sensational. It just make me smile!
I absolutely love your Cell Serum and thought I...
"Cell Serum has my skin energized and glowing. I use it at night and love the way it brings warmth and revitalizes my skin. The ingredients are very powerful and have dramatically evened out my skin tone. Can't say how much I love this product! Cheers!"
Happy Skin
I have been using Cell Serum for the last several weeks with glowing results! Just 3 drops lovingly caressing my winter skin nightly has brought back a sense of great well-being and life to my cheeks!
I love the way this feels:)
I use this in the morning and at night with the roseglows serum. My skin glows without being greasy. The smell of these oils is wonderful and fills me with a sense of well-being. The cinnamon makes my skin tingle a little bit... after a few days my skin feels dewy and softer.

Living Libations CelluLight Formula 50ml
£37.50
Our Cellulite formula is a potent combination of essential oils that penetrate the lipid layers, stimulating the lymph and circulatory systems, are astringent and tone the skin. The essential oils in Cell-U-Light further help to eliminate cellulite from our systems with their diuretic and detoxification benefits. Massaging into areas provides circulation, lymph stimulation, strengthens the connective tissue and helps in breaking down the congested deposits. Focus on special areas for 4-6 weeks. Cell-U-Light Formula is made with all organic ingredients: jojoba, seabuckthorn, grapefruit, coffee, rosemary, lemon, juniper, cypress, fennel, carrot seed & turmeric. Massage into areas after skin-brushing and bathing. Massage a small amount into cellulite-prone areas daily. 50ml
Cellulite is an accumulation of cell clusters that solidify and harden as the surrounding tissue loses its connectivity and elasticity, due to poor circulation and toxins stored in these deposits and excess lipids. Thin and active people can have cellulite, men too. Cellulite may signify sluggish cell functioning, lymph and/or circulatory systems from an over exposure to toxic chemicals that can’t find a way to be processed by the body.
Congested cellulite areas contain toxins that were not eliminated by the liver. Many of the toxins come from food and water additives, pesticides and synthetic body care products which affect the body in many ways including leaving many xenoestrogens in the fat tissues; this is a foreign type of estrogen that also creates an estrogen imbalance in the body.
To evolve the body’s pattern in this area a few lifestyle changes are necessary:
Massage - promotes lymphatic circulation, which helps remove toxins, and increases blood supply, which carries oxygen to the area and may help break up the hardened skin cells of cellulite.
Nutrition - Digestion of nutrients is key; clear any constipation, eating real, whole foods (less carbs and gluten); healthy fats, omega 3’s, virgin coconut oil
Water – get pure and drink plenty of it (www.findaspring.com)
Sweat & Move – do something that makes you break a sweat each day; an infrared sauna is perfect for sweating and releasing toxins. Move and groove in ways that inspire you.
Dry Brushing – one of the simplest things to do daily to stimulate the immune system, lymph and create beautiful skin. Boost brushing with our Lymph Tonic
Supplements - Indole 3 Carbinol (helps to get rid of excess estrogen in the body), glutathione a powerful (fat soluble and water soluble) antioxidant that helps release toxins; carnitine is amino acid that helps to build collagen and retain elasticity.
If these changes are made cellulite will clear even without using the special Cellulite Formula. The potent combination of essential oils in this formula penetrate the lipid layers, stimulating the lymph and circulatory systems, are astringent and tone the skin. The essential oils in Cell-U-Light further help to eliminate cellulite from our systems with their diuretic and detoxification benefits. Massaging into areas provides circulation, lymph stimulation, strengthens the connective tissue and helps in breaking down the congested deposits. Focus on special areas for 4-6 weeks.

Review(s)
AMAZING!!!
I have been using this product for 3 days only and my surface/visible cellulite is already completely gone! I need to keep toning my problem areas to reduce fat cells and flush out completely, but I am happily amazed. I've tried other products but didn't like how many chemicals they contained. Some with too much caffeine actually gave me caffeine (I don't consume caffeine) headaches via skin absorption. I was recently using a natural mustard seed oil based product, which was pretty good - this is even better! Can't wait to see the results after prolonged daily use. Also very easy to massage in, which sometimes oils aren't... :o)

Anthocyanins are known to be anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, antimicrobial, antiviral; they are found to reduce cholesterol, promote connective tissue regeneration, stimulate collagen formation, improve circulation, enhance vision, boost immune function and reduce inflammation. This ancient variety is gaining popularity as a anti-aging herb and a immune-tonic.

Different & Delicious!
This is my 1st Living Libations Chocolate Bar but I intend to buy more! The "Bliss. Like This. Ecstatic Chocolate Bar" has a very unique, interesting, grainy, crunchy yet not crunchy (if that makes any sense lol), fudgey, delicious dark chocolate (yet not super dark bitter chocolate) taste. I only need a little bite each day as it seems to fill me up right way (when I'm craving a chocolate snack). Amazing chocolate bar and is definitely worth the price. I look forward to trying the other flavours!

Why a raw chocolate Beauty Bar with medicinal herbs?
The chocolate bean has been seen as both sinner and saint; but, a regular candy bar – this ain’t. “Let food be thy medicine”, the wise Hippocrates once said, and the pure “uncooked” chocolate bean is actually a nourishing plant food. Indigenous cultures of the rainforest have thrived on this food. The cacao bean is an amazing superfood rich in minerals (one of the highest sources of magnesium) and protein. This special food also combines synergistically with other potent botanical herbs for a highly energizing, nourishing bar that reaches every cell of your body. Does it contain caffeine?Only theobromine, which is an immune enhancing aspect of the chocolate bean. Regularly manufactured chocolate contains a caffeine additive. Feel the energy without the edge! Isn’t chocolate a “guilty pleasure”?This chocolate is a smart, healthy food choice as it is free of milk solids, dairy, sugar, roasted cocoa fats, corn syrup. Thus the chocolate is absolutely digestible and rich in magnesium, creating a slimming aspect. Again because it is free of processed food substances and is digestible, rich in anti-oxidants it contributes to radiant health and skin. Why is this chocolate a “Beauty Bar”?Because this chocolate is un-roasted and combined with nutritive herbs, one receives all of the rich magnesium, calcium, protein, polyphenols and anti-oxidants, making this a supreme energy food that generates glowing beauty. Why is this chocolate £16.95?* Each ingredient is chosen from the best the earth has to offer:* Heirloom, forest grown, organic family co-op produced beans.* Real vanilla beans from Madagascar, pollinated by hummingbirds.* Beautiful wild-harvested and organic herbs.* Abundant in amazingly potent superfoods (maca, camu, seabuckthorn berries, hemp seeds).* No “fillers” of milk, dairy, sugar or cocoa butter.* Elegant artisan chocolate: each bar is crafted by hand.Is the Living Libations Bar a “smart food”?This unprocessed (unheated) chocolate bar keeps the powerful balance of plant nutrients intact. Raw chocolate activates neurotransmitters. It releases the anandamide (bliss) and phenylethylamine (love) molecules – so go ahead get started on that creative project and feel the inspiration. Or, get your hair done and go out on the town, this bar releases the bliss molecules from your crown. What does Pure Source Chocolate mean?This means the bean is “clean”: ethically harvested, organic, forest-shade grown (instead of clear cutting agriculture), and fair trade. Details on the Medicinal Herbs: Camu Camu Berries – Highest Source of Vitamin CThese are bush-berries that grow in swampy and flooded areas of the Amazon (much like the cranberry). Camu is the highest natural source of vitamin C, rich in iron, niacin, anti-oxidants, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, beta carotene, minerals and amino acids including serine, valine, and leucine. The terpenes alpha-pinene and d-limonene are also found in these dynamic berries. Our Camu is ecologically wildcrafted in the Peruvian Amazon where it is pulped, macerated and dehydrated. This process preserves the phytonutrient content of the berries producing by far the finest product available, with a vitamin C content of 13–16%!Goji berries - Rich in Beta Carotene, Vitamin C and Amino Acids These berries are a traditional longevity enhancer, countless stories dating back nearly 2000 years concern its miraculous ability to prolong and improve life.

This Chocolate Bar is made with a benediction of organic raw cacao beans, maca root, hemp seeds, raspberry, goji berries, cherries, camu-camu berries, raw honey, vanilla beans, rose, lemon and a dash of virgin coconut creme.
The Benediction is Where You Are Pure Source Chocolate Bar On a calm, balmy summer day Ron and Nadine ventured forth in their forest to play. The sun shone on the leaves dappling a soft green ray on their pathless path through the woods. There was the smell of sumac, spruce, and balsam. They rambled upon a raspberry bramble and ate bushels of these laughing berries. Raptured in raspberry bliss, they spun with glee. Round and round, with more than a feeling they fell to the ground. Exhilarated, they looked to the silence in the sky and day-dreamed that they lived in the greatest story ever told. Then, lo and behold, the bough of a wild cherry tree unfurled a jolly little fellow on a Leaf. He chimed a small rhyme, this is what he said, “The Benediction is where you are, it is here, near, everlasting, stretching far. This exhilarating energy flowing through you Is what life Is. The freedom you feel is Real, as it is not for, or, from. Oh, the fun has always just begun. The revolution within ever begins”. Hypnotized by his Boundless Pure Eyes they asked him, “Where did you come from? And, what did you drink?” He spoke of a land of libations that attuned one to wonder. With the wink of his eye he gave them a box of beans and said, “ These are the seeds you need, cacao is here to play in the flowering of now. Ingest with appreciation in your chest, and this chocolate bean will magnetize a clear point of creation. Allowing all untold wishes to unfold”. July thunder rumbled and rolled, the aroma of radiant earth loomed, yellow lilies dipped in the breeze’s perfume. In a bush near by, a blackbird sung the benediction within, cardinal flowers quivered, and all the land shivered, on the threshold this expectant air delivered. So with great thanks to their Friend, they attuned to the gift from this veritable wonderland. And as the story goes, from this day-dream forward, they lived wildly awake: the pair dared their desires to unfold, they gambled their life on living, they lived on the ledge of the leading edge, they lived in the question in lieu of the answer, they lived on the cusp of revolutionary trust, they inhaled Is, they played easy in the deep. Seeped in serious joy, laughter seeds were sown, they adventured as deliberately as nature, they dove into the unknown, and boundless arrays continued to conjure their days.

My tastebuds and whole body are smiling...YUMMY, FRUITY, HEALTHY, HAPPY!
The first time I tried this, a sample at your open house, it was as if I had to stop for a few seconds... to let it sink in. SO. GOOD. I really love this one...and yes that IS more than a feeling. It's a veritable fact of this fruity sensation, that may be dry and pure yet it's just so juicy with joy in your mouth. And then there is the perfect contrast and texture with the seeds - wow! PURE. This right here is proof that you definitely CAN eat healthy and have it taste AWESOME. By no stretch this is - the best chocolate I have eaten. Not only is the taste phenomenal, but you really feel an uplift eating it, immediately. Never before has this happened to me with chocolate. I'm still happy 30 minutes later! I couldn't understood the studies hailing chocolate as beneficial in health, or happy moods, or giving those love pleasuring feelings. Now I do. This opens my heart and warms my spirit. I can't believe I feel like I'm in love! And this is a HEALTH FOOD? Hello...a love sensation + health crusader marrying together into this pure delight. I can't wait to try your other chocolates as well, and lucky duck me can buy it from the local juice bar down at The Carrot...a very nice escape into paradise after long classes to get revived by having this waiting for me. MASTERPIECE CHOCOLATE LOVE PURENESS BEST!!!!!! Great job guys. If you try this you'll see why it is that price... Worth the $20.
We love you Chocolate
We stopped by the show yesterday and were very happy to be able to pick up some more wonderful treats from your Living Libations booth. I sent a bunch of chocolate off to my brothers today, so hopefully that will keep them happy for a while. They share the same sentiment as I do now that all other chocolate is inedible after experiencing yours.
WOW
Nadine, I just got the parcel and I just tried both of the chocolate bars and, Wow, they are amazing. You never do cease to amaze me.
Supercharged
This chocolate is exquisite and I feel charged with every bite. I especially like your new flavours! This one and the Open Laughing one are my new favourites!

The Open Laughing Chocolate Story:
Resting in the hands of creation, Ron and Nadine were asleep in the soil of lavender and chamomile flowerbeds. Even the bee’s fuzzy heads, drunk on pastel-nectar, had sunk into the filament-flutes of lavender’s reverie. Everyone stirred to the song of white feathered friends chirping to raise the sun. Morning had spoken fresh from the Word, in flower, in song. Ron and Nadine awoke to this flowery-dream, only to find chocolate in their pocket. The chocolate was wrapped in a silver map. Inside, X marked the treasure spot to Xochitl, the Dream Flower Valley where the Rose ever blooms. And so it was written in the Legend of this map:
Gamble your Life on Living.
Praise inhalation.
Slowly take twice a bite,
Slide on your vanilla bean slippers.
Spin thrice to the right.
Mind is the sunlight.
Another bite or two,
Disappears into the air inside you.
Now flowers in your eyes, look to the skies.
Take the first step (which is always the last).
Go past the frankincense tree,
Tap the sap, roll in roots of osha-revelry.
Gather round the red reishi.
Blink.
Sink and you are in the valley.
Hand in hand, they took the pathless land. There they were embraced by the fragrance of grace -- in the laughter of roses. They chose the most fun playing circles with the sun. The flower notes the cacao was striking released great levity. Everything lifted in a breeze of accord, All on the ride of the hidden tide in their chests.

Beside enhancing concentration and attention, PEA is a natural mood elevator and anti-depressant. *Phycocyanin, is the blue pigment in AFA, which is a natural selective COX-2 inhibitor with strong anti-inflammatory properties. *AFA contains a polysaccharide that stimulates the migration of immune cells in the body; the only natural compound known to stimulate immune cell migration. But the most extraordinary discovery is the ability of AFA to stimulate stem cell release and migration, making AFA the first natural compound known to stimulate the natural innate phenomenon of healing, regeneration and repair in the human body.
Holy Cacao! The Second Coming of Chocolate is Now! Taste: Classic Orange Chocolate with a radiant gypsy-citrus squeeze.This Chocolate Bar is made with Raw cacao beans, maca root, hemp seeds, purple maize, cats claw, pau d'arco, camu-camu berries, vanilla beans, raw honey, blood oranges, orange blossoms, tangerine, and a dash virgin coconut creme.
One day, Ron and Nadine were swinging from Una de Gato vine to Cats Claw vine, searching for the mystical teachings of the purple cacao bean. Which by the way, hadn't been seen since Wonka's dream. They swung under the canopy of the Pau D'arco tree to inhale the viola-hues of its lovely flowers, when all of a sudden their eyes divined the violet rays of the Purple Maize. This glow created a halo so Ron and Nadine could see the Majesty of Glee entwined with the Sceptre of Immunity. To elucidate, they ventured over to the Vanilla Orchid's oracle-gate. They were told cacao had the luminary strength of gold. The beans were to be mixed into a rich magenta-antioxidant-brew with orbs of Camu, a squeeze of Yacon and Yuzu. Rapt in this swirling of plants, they were entranced by the sweetest breeze, brought to their knees, blissed by the song of the Angelic-Neroli chorus praising the creation of this cacao-invocation.
Ingredients: Raw cacao beans, maca root, hemp seeds, purple maize, cats claw, pau d'arco, camu-camu berries, vanilla beans, agave, blood oranges, neroli-orange blossoms, tangerine, and virgin cococreme.

Bold, Chocolatey Wine Taste
Mmmm...instantly what came to me taking a bite of this chocolate is how close to the taste of luxurious red wine it is. Syncronicity that it is called Purple Chocolate Jesus... both wine, and this, has to be food fit for the gods! Luxurious, royal taste, this chocolate is pretty bold!...it feels rooted in flavour with a grounding effect. With a drizzle of natural, thick honey on top, I just love how it smooths and sweetens this up, a play of tastes and textures. I always feel it warms up especially my throat (chakra?) area, as well as my heart. Definitely some warm vibrations going on!!! High five Nadine and Ron!
So unique and delicious!
Last night, I had the best night ever, in my bathroom no less....I washed my face with the fabulous Seabuckthorn Best Skin ever, spot treated with my magical Dew Dab, applied the luscious and velvety Chocolate Karat Serum, all while nibbling on Purple Chocolate Jesus and sipping a glass of wine! That's right. Don't be jealous...hee hee! This chocolate is so layered with flavor. To me, the I first thing I noticed was the citrus taste swimming around that pure delicious chocolate flavor. I don't even know how to describe the rest of the flavors, just wonderful tastiness! And I have tried eating it for breakfast like many others and it is indeed a great way to start your day. Kinda of gives this awesome euphoric and energetic feeling. I can't wait to try all of the flavors. If you have never tried raw chocolate, please keep an open mind and remember this is the only way to get the actual complete nutrients from chocolate. And best of all, you don't have to feel guilty about eating THIS chocolate. It has much more chewiness and texture than traditional processed chocolate and the taste is out of this world. As it melts on your tongue, you will begin to taste the different layers of flavors. This will be a part of my life forever. Nadine and Ron, you are the God and Goddess of Chocolate!
Thank-you
...this moments’ combination is a generous spritz of Radiant Earth of Deep Delight while savouring Purple Chocolate Jesus with rosy cheeks of Maidenfern Blushing Balm….the magical box arrived! Thank you Nadine and Ron…….what treasures…..the packaging alone on the chocolate; the careful folding and placed adhesive…oh what art, with such love.

Oh My... so delicious
We were at the Toronto Vegetarian Fair last year and came across Living Libations. We bought one of their precious chocolate bars and enjoyed it in the summer sunshine outside on the grass. We adored it so much we promptly went back in and bought 12 more bars. This flavour is still my favourite.

Living Libations Chocolate Bar - Vanilla Vibhutti (4oz / 114g)
£16.95
Why a raw chocolate Beauty Bar with medicinal herbs?
The chocolate bean has been seen as both sinner and saint; but, a regular candy bar – this ain’t. “Let food be thy medicine”, the wise Hippocrates once said, and the pure “uncooked” chocolate bean is actually a nourishing plant food. Indigenous cultures of the rainforest have thrived on this food. The cacao bean is an amazing superfood rich in minerals (one of the highest sources of magnesium) and protein. This special food also combines synergistically with other potent botanical herbs for a highly energizing, nourishing bar that reaches every cell of your body. Does it contain caffeine?Only theobromine, which is an immune enhancing aspect of the chocolate bean. Regularly manufactured chocolate contains a caffeine additive. Feel the energy without the edge! Isn’t chocolate a “guilty pleasure”?This chocolate is a smart, healthy food choice as it is free of milk solids, dairy, sugar, roasted cocoa fats, corn syrup. Thus the chocolate is absolutely digestible and rich in magnesium, creating a slimming aspect. Again because it is free of processed food substances and is digestible, rich in anti-oxidants it contributes to radiant health and skin. Why is this chocolate a “Beauty Bar”?Because this chocolate is un-roasted and combined with nutritive herbs, one receives all of the rich magnesium, calcium, protein, polyphenols and anti-oxidants, making this a supreme energy food that generates glowing beauty. Why is this chocolate £16.95?* Each ingredient is chosen from the best the earth has to offer:* Heirloom, forest grown, organic family co-op produced beans.* Real vanilla beans from Madagascar, pollinated by hummingbirds.* Beautiful wild-harvested and organic herbs.* Abundant in amazingly potent superfoods (maca, camu, seabuckthorn berries, hemp seeds).* No “fillers” of milk, dairy, sugar or cocoa butter.* Elegant artisan chocolate: each bar is crafted by hand.Is the Living Libations Bar a “smart food”?This unprocessed (unheated) chocolate bar keeps the powerful balance of plant nutrients intact. Raw chocolate activates neurotransmitters. It releases the anandamide (bliss) and phenylethylamine (love) molecules – so go ahead get started on that creative project and feel the inspiration. Or, get your hair done and go out on the town, this bar releases the bliss molecules from your crown. What does Pure Source Chocolate mean?This means the bean is “clean”: ethically harvested, organic, forest-shade grown (instead of clear cutting agriculture), and fair trade. Details on the Medicinal Herbs: Camu Camu Berries – Highest Source of Vitamin CThese are bush-berries that grow in swampy and flooded areas of the Amazon (much like the cranberry). Camu is the highest natural source of vitamin C, rich in iron, niacin, anti-oxidants, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, beta carotene, minerals and amino acids including serine, valine, and leucine. The terpenes alpha-pinene and d-limonene are also found in these dynamic berries. Our Camu is ecologically wildcrafted in the Peruvian Amazon where it is pulped, macerated and dehydrated. This process preserves the phytonutrient content of the berries producing by far the finest product available, with a vitamin C content of 13–16%!Goji berries - Rich in Beta Carotene, Vitamin C and Amino Acids These berries are a traditional longevity enhancer, countless stories dating back nearly 2000 years concern its miraculous ability to prolong and improve life. An incredibly happy herbal berry containing 18 amino acids, up to 21 important trace minerals such as germanium, zinc, calcium, iron, copper, selenium… each berry is packed full of beta-carotene, in fact goji berries are said to be the richest carotenoid source of any known food plant! One of the more concentrated sources for vitamin C. Rich in vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E. These wonder berries also contain immune strengthening polysaccharides. One polysaccharide in the berries has been found to induce secretion of rejuvenative growth hormone by the pituitary gland. As a food it is said to enhance cheerfulness, vitality and clarity.Maca Root – Very High in Protein, Over 22 Amino Acids and Minerals This root is an ancient Andean food-medicine plant cultivated for at least 4,000 years. This turnip like root is the highest altitude cultivar in the world, grown at elevations over 14,000 feet. A revered adaptogen and aphrodisiac. Clinical research demonstrates it to be a powerful fertility/libido enhancer for both men and women. Nourishes the endocrine system and being hailed as a supreme longevity herb and treatment for the biochemical imbalances. Maca is quite high in protein, abundant in vitamins, minerals (especially calcium), amino acids, sterols, flavanols, and alkamides. Our maca is from a mixed variety of organically grown roots, sun-dried and slow ground at low temperatures.Pau D’arco - Great for Digestion and Immune Tonic. This herb is a highly respected immunostimulant and strengthening herb. It has pronounced antiviral, antibacterial, antiparasitical, and anti-inflammatory properties. As a mild astringent it is helpful with digestive imbalance.Yacon Root – Natural Non-Glycemic Sweetener. Yacon is a sunflower relative with edible tubers grown throughout the Andean region. Yacon roots contain important quantities of potassium and antioxidants. Unlike many other roots and tubers, yacon does not store its carbohydrates as starch, but as fructooligosaccharide (FOS) this yields a very sweet syrup that the body does not react to like sugar.Purple Corn – Amazing Antioxidant. Maize morado, has been grown in Peru as a food and medicine since antiquity. Highly nutritious, packed full of powerful antioxidant polyphenols and flavonoid anthocyanins responsible for one of the richest purple colors found in nature. Anthocyanins are known to be anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, antimicrobial, antiviral; they are found to reduce cholesterol, promote connective tissue regeneration, stimulate collagen formation, improve circulation, enhance vision, boost immune function and reduce inflammation. This ancient variety is gaining popularity as a anti-aging herb and a immune-tonic. We find it has a calming effect on the body and mind, promoting a tranquil state.Seabuckthorn Berries – Very rich in Vitamins and Essential Fatty Acids. These berries are bright orange-red berries of the Seabuckthorn bush and have been as food and medicine for thousands of years. This amazing plant is found growing from sea level up to 14,000 feet, surviving in the harsh sun exposed conditions of the high altitudes. The healing properties of the plant were praised in ancient Ayurvedic and Tibetan texts. The fruit is a beneficial cornucopia of over 190 bioactive substances. A top source for vitamin A, C, & E, and rich in B1 & 2, K, carotenoids, phospholipids, EFA’s, sterols, amino acids, flavonoids, microelements, etc. It is one of the few vegetal sources of serotonin (5–HT). A powerful antioxidant and immunomodulator to balance liver, heart health, thyroid, stimulate gastric juices and reduce inflammation. The main active constituents in Seabuckthorn are considered the flavonoids quercitin, isorhamnetin, myricetin and kaempferol, laboratory studies suggest they have adaptogenic properties, promote production of red blood cells, reduce allergies, protect against carcinogenesis, decrease cholesterol and improve heart function. Traditionally considered a Yin tonic and Yang strengthener.Hemp Seeds – High in Protein and Essential Fatty Acids.E3 Live Blue Green Algae – Brain Food that Contains Over 64 Bio-available Nutrients that Nourish the Body’s Cells. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is 100% AFA, a superior blue-green algae. It is not man-made or manufactured, but harvested from nature under the highest of standards before it is sent to you in its fresh-frozen state. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of species of blue-green algae; some are edible, some are not. AFA is an edible species of blue-green algae that has been consumed by indigenous people for thousands of years. AFA is a very nutritious, whole food containing over 64 nutrients that are 97% absorbed by the body. This blue algae (along with chocolate) are the only two food sources that release phenylethylamine (PEA) also known as the "molecule of love."

Vanilla Vibhutti Chocolate Yoga Bar: A VanillaBean Sutra of Samadhi Yogi-GleeTaste: A cinnamon triple vanilla bean embrace.This Chocolate Bar is made with organic raw cacao beans, maca root, hemp seeds, camu-camu berries, purple maize, pau d'arco, vanilla beans, raw honey, cinnamon and a dash of coconut creme.
Climbing into the belly of a smile, Nadine and Ron found themselves painting strings of stars on the Roof of the World. The auroral hour was upon them; light and night were mating, filling the atmosphere with song.
Ciphering the musical-messages of this electric air, Nadine and Ron followed the notes to a hidden lair. It was the rock of this cave, where many a Sadhu's drishti gazed upon the cosmic-nave, that they set a meteor-metate to pestle a paste of sunoti-sap. Sandalwood beads, cinnamon malas, arrow-branches of taheebo, berry of camu, criollo cacao and the inner seed-ashram of vanilla's moccasin bean on the mixing-stone were laid. They played and played until nectar was made.
While moonbeams and stardust still shone on the saffron-streaks of dawn, they gathered the mixed amrita-creme to sow around the globe's ground. Across the earth's mantle they planted seed-syllables of yum. Like this.
With hands full of dirt, up curled ananda-asanas to the sun: benedictions of bliss unfurled orisons of praise to meet horizon's blaze. Amazed each moment, they find what they need. Like this. Rays of the sun split the ode of each seed-bead. Then out of the soil bewildered in love, sprouted a tree of samadhi-glee entwined with vanilla's inflorescence vine. This unity sent forth invitations: vast intricate strands of trumpet telegrams dripped from the jubilant-jewels of orchid's throat. Open secrets of this Flower Adornments Sutra was yearning to commune that midnight's moon is the dance of high noon. Vanilla's aerial-roots tapped into the invisible ethers and Nadine and Ron received a darshan to dash duality's grasp. Now imbued with the lyric of laughter, they felt it was the deep-down shadows of the giggle-grotto that joined the juice of joy up to the crown.
Unspoken words. Silent-soma soars in and out. Like this.
Flavor: Cinnamon and triple Vanilla Bean embrace, the taste of yogi-glee.

Amazing
Nadine and Ron, I just got the parcel and I just tried both of the chocolate bars and, Wow, they are amazing. You never do cease to amaze me.
So good
Totally delicious - it's like nothing I have ever had. It's surprisingly soft, which I like. I tried raw chocolate once before and it was bitter and not at all enjoyable. This however, it a world apart. I'm been prompted to go for the 6-bar sampler next. Can't wait.
Joy
literally almost crying tears of joy from the vanilla vibhutti that came this morning -- oh my gosh...thank you!
In love
I have fallen in love with your products. I cant seem to forget the Vanilla Vibhutti Chocolate. The taste is still on my tongue!

Beautiful scent
I a have tried many of Nadiines products and of all of them, this is my favorite! I use it to clean and moisturize my face and as a body lotion. It smells so exotic and heady... Intriguing and delicious, that you don't even need perfume. My man loves it too - always says "you smell so good". I also really love the vanilla and lavish abundance too...
All-time Favourite
I can't say enough great things about the Chocolate Best Skin Ever!! The smell alone is a decadent delight.. My skin has never been healthier, has never had such a radiant glow! This is one product I will never again be without.
Lovely
I bought this as a moisturizer for the sensitive, acne-prone skin on my back and chest, and it's a lovely oil. It has a very warm scent which isn't really chocolatey (in my opinion), but it's still a wonderful ritual to use after a shower, and helps to keep my skin nice and healthy.
Wonderfully moisturizing
When I first tried the Chocolate Best Skin Ever, I wasn't sure about the scent - it reminded me of my childhood cabbage patch dolls....however, after some time it grew on me and I now find that the scent is lovely & comforting. I especially love using the Chocolate Best Skin Ever after I take a shower with 100% Pure Cocoa Kona Body Wash or 100% Pure Dark Chocolate Body Scrub. My skin feels wonderfully moisturized, glowing, and smells delicious.
Magical Glow Potion
Okay Ladies, this product is one of my secret weapons. Not only does it take your skin to a whole new level of Glow it is amazing around that time of the month to help balance emotions and physical symptoms. (Thank you Chocolate!) If you wear it out on the town, you will literally need a stick to beat off the men. We all know that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach! Here is my moon flow routine: couple of squirts in the bath, while you are in there, take a wash cloth and with another couple of squirts, wash your face and body taking special care of your feet. When you get out, massage over entire body with extra attention to your belly. I find a clock wise motion particularly soothing. For extra nourishment, run some through your hair and go to bed! Wash out in the morning for soft supple locks. Now for the men...take a wash cloth into the shower and with the chocolate BSE exfoliate your whole body. When you get out, pat dry and apply all over for a shimmery delectable glow. I am a bit of a pale girl and this stuff makes me feel like I have actually seen the sun! Magical! And seriously, who can resist Chocolate and Vanilla???
Delicious
This is the most amazing and delicious scent ever!!
perfect
I can't believe there aren't move reviews on this product! I've tried almost every thing in the Beauty Care section, and this is one of my favorites! It smells amazing and makes my skin so soft. Usually I like vanilla scents but this is better than any of the vanillas I've ever tried. It's exactly the scent I always wanted but could never find---it's subtle, soft, and feminine. I can layer it with a perfume or wear it alone and it smells like my own skin after a day at the beach mixed flowers. I mix it with a little aloe after I shower and it soaks right in. Over time it makes your skin look even better and softer. The only problem is that any one who visits me wants to take it home!
Nothing compares to your best skin ever.
Dear Nadine and Ron, first let me thank you for your quick delivery of these outstanding skin care products. I really tried a lot, but nothing compares to your best skin ever. I love the odor of the best skin chocolate. My skin absorbs it as if it was thirsty! Thank-you
Golden Heaven
I just love how all of Nadine's products make me feel. And I just love how the Chocolate BSE make my pale white skin have color, and i love the smell too. This with the Everybody loves Sunshine are a must for summer.
AMAZING
This stuff is awesome .. Smells so sweet and soft, and sinks right into your skin and makes it silky soft. I can't live without it after a shower, YUM
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.

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!

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!
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.

Review(s)
Actually Nourishes
I have tried nearly every department store and top-shelf lip balm (seriously), and all of them tote 'long-lasting' 'ultra-moisturizing' 'natural', only to leave me with dry, unnatural tasting and smelling lips, and having to re-apply every hour at best. It's been an 8 hour workday in a dry, airconditioned office. I have had lunch, and sip water throughout the day...I've only had to re-apply Hot Lover Lips three times today. Three times over 8 hours, and I'd imagine less in an area that isn't so dry. It smells delicious, like Big Red gum :) and I love the tingly feel (I think that keeps me from licking/biting my lips), and flushed look I get on my lips. Even when the slickness of fresh application is gone, it doesn't leave me with dry lips that I have to immediately re-moisturize, just a moisturized feeling like I'm well-hydrated if that makes sense. Thank you so much! I'm so excited to try your other products.
Amazing!
This stuff is amazing. I love the way it feels and looks on my lips. As a woman of color, I never thought that I could find a product to make my lips look the right kind of rosy, but this lip balm does. It's goes on silky and glossy, so its not all of those other natural lip balms that feel hard and go on chalky. My lips still feel tingly after a few hours. Lovin it. Cannot wait to buy more products...especially more lip balms.
Best Ever
I'm inevitably disappointed by lip balms; no matter how good they seem at first, eventually they start to dry out my lips. And I'm talking the natural ones - I don't even use the mainstream brands anymore. But it's been almost a year since I started using this product and it works as well as it did the very first day. It hasn't dried out at all, the way other brands do. It goes on easily and softly and works like a charm. I'm definitely ordering more!
Wowza!
This stuff is awesome! Really tingly but not in an uncomfortable way. Instantly makes my lips cherry popsicle red. But the best part is how wonderfully creamy and moisturizing it is. All the LL lip balms are very soft and slick and glide effortlessly across the lips with no drag. All topped off with a delicious cinnamon smell.
Tingly hot lips!
I purchased the Cinnamon Seabuckthorn Hot Lover Lips at The Big Carrot in Toronto just this past weekend and I've been using it ever since. It's a wonderful natural lip plumper & moisturizer and leaves my lips feeling tingly hot (but not uncomfortable) for a very long time. Fabulous lip product!
Love for your Lips
I really enjoy the smell of this love for your lips :) I just put it on, then my lipgloss and go :)
Yummy!
I bought this for myself for my birthday and I love it. I put it on every day.
AMAZING!!
I bought this today at the the Toronto Veg Food Fair and I'm absolutely in love with it! <3
THE BEST!!
This is by far the ONLY 'chap-stick' I have ever found to really work on me. I love how it feels and to top it off...it smells great. :) I am definitely in love. I always carry it around with me. I put it on everyday!! Oh, hot lover lips.....what would I do without you?!?!
everything I ever wanted a lip product to do!
This gives me rosy soft lips! I've never used lipbalm much as it never made a difference. This WORKS! It's a lip plumper, moisturizer and a lip glow all at once....I love this so much I just bought a couple more. This is love :)))
can't believe I only ordered one!
I hadn't tried this yet, so I only ordered one tube.....I am kicking myself for that now! I have used half the tube in two weeks because I can't stop putting it on! Not that I need to, because it keeps your lips soft all day, but because the sensation and the scent make me feel alive and instantly make me happy. The tingle is amazing and sexy. This is going to be a must have from now on......Next time I order, I'm adding several of these! Thank you, Nadine!
Most Amazing Stuff Ever!
I was hoping I would be swayed away from pricey, goopy mainstream lip glosses after trying this stuff, and I believe I have been. Such good ingredients in here, and I don't feel worried at all about some of the balm getting in my mouth and ingesting nasty chemicals. It has a very "melt on your mouth" consistency, but stays on my lips well. Leaves your lips with a nice sheen that is very natural looking. In just a few days of use, my chronically dry lips are healing. The cinnamon offers a bit of plumping and a reddish hue too. I just feel very embodied and in better touch with my senses through use of this product coupled with the others I purchased). Can't wait to try some of the other lover lips! Thank you, Nadine!
