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.     Review(s) 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! deep sun here i come i love this product. i have never had such a rich deep tan as i do when i use Everybody loves the sunshine. Before, after and during, this is the solution I have been waiting for. My tan last for months Chemicals and toxins for sun care, crazy! 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. pura vida i cannot smell "everybody loves the sunshine" without thinking the beauty and magic of costa rica. it is like a time travel machine by just taking a whiff. i had a glorious tan, a beautiful aroma and luxurious skin. what more could a girl ask for on vacation? i use it in the winter to remember my body feeling warm and sunshined. i love it. thanks it works this is a very effective product. i like the smell and the way it feels on my skin. great sun protection, no chemicals First Impression: Lovely and luxerious I just recieved it today and the smell and texture is incredible! It goes right into the skin leaving you not to greasy and it also creats a beautiful glow to your skin. havent yet tried it in the sun since unfortunatly I havent been lucky enough to see the sun in about 2 weeks now. the weather has been sooo bad here. 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  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.

Everybody Loves the Sunshine with Zinc was created so that there is a really pure option for those sunny days of play. A natural sunshade product made with un-coated zinc oxide to reflect the sun's rays, rather than absorb them. 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.

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.

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!

Palmarosa smoothes skin and has a reputation of bringing balance to blemish prone and dry skin.     Review(s) 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! deep sun here i come i love this product. i have never had such a rich deep tan as i do when i use Everybody loves the sunshine. Before, after and during, this is the solution I have been waiting for. My tan last for months Chemicals and toxins for sun care, crazy! 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. pura vida i cannot smell "everybody loves the sunshine" without thinking the beauty and magic of costa rica. it is like a time travel machine by just taking a whiff. i had a glorious tan, a beautiful aroma and luxurious skin. what more could a girl ask for on vacation? i use it in the winter to remember my body feeling warm and sunshined. i love it. thanks it works this is a very effective product. i like the smell and the way it feels on my skin. great sun protection, no chemicals First Impression: Lovely and luxerious I just recieved it today and the smell and texture is incredible! It goes right into the skin leaving you not to greasy and it also creats a beautiful glow to your skin. havent yet tried it in the sun since unfortunatly I havent been lucky enough to see the sun in about 2 weeks now. the weather has been sooo bad here. 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  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.

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! "

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! "
