May Favourites From Be Genki
For the past few years, I’ve been a loyal customer of Be Genki, my go-to online store to find the best in organic and clean skincare, makeup, hair and body care, and wellbeing products. I have a deep trust in the quality of all brands and products, beautifully curated by Sam, the founder of Be Genki. It's so refreshing to find someone who has done all the research into healthy and effective products! I know I'm always making a good choice what ever it may be that I add to cart.
'Genki' is a Japanese word that describes the holistic feeling of being well - happy, healthy, and harmonious. The collection of the best in natural health and organic beauty at Be Genki is designed to help you look and feel more 'genki'. I just love this holistic approach!
One of my most adored brands at Be Genki is 'Living Libations'. In this blog post I share some of my most reached-for beauty and wellbeing Living Libations favourites from this past month. Everything from Living Libations is organic, wildcrafted, microbiome-friendly, food-grade and GMO-free. I can't wait to tell you what I've been loving and dive into some of the ingredients and delightful formulas!
The Moccasin Flower Shimmer by Living Libations is an aromatic amber-bronze balm for a sun-kissed glow upon your lips, cheeks, and eyelids. This shade is stunning, and instantly gives you a dash of summer to your complexion. Moccasin Flower Shimmer is created with crystallised mica, nature’s natural gemstone light reflector, so it provides a beautiful glow and effortlessly lifts your facial features. The pigment-to-shimmer ratio is perfect, and I love that this is a multi-tasking product! I enjoy sweeping some across my eyelids to add a luminous sheen and across my cheekbones for hint of warmth, for any and every occasion — this colour gives depth and sophistication without looking like you’re wearing traditional makeup, so it’s really an everyday essential in my clean beauty collection.
My favourite part of the Moccasin Flower Shimmer is the scent - this balm truly has the most uplifting and enlivening infusion of essential oils that make it so delightful to use. These distilled botanicals also provide you with a tonne of skin-loving benefits for your healthiest skin. The full ingredient list of the Mocassin Flower Shimmer is as follows (and yes, this is the full list! No sneaky synthetics here): jojoba, beeswax, seabuckthorn, rockrose, ylang, vetiver, mica, jasmine, and blood orange. This wonderful pot of nature’s best beauty botanicals provides your skin with rejuvenating, hydrating, replenishing, tonifying, plumping, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits!
As we move into the colder months and my skin sees less of the sun, I am always reaching for this little pot of summer to give me that warm glow I miss!
The Lei Lady Lei Petal Perfume by Living Libations is a spritz of Hawaii - this is such a joyful scent, like a colourful harmony of tropical flowers dancing around me every time I give it a spray. Summertime in a bottle, Lei Lady Lei Petal Perfume has notes of blooming jasmine, tuberose, and golden champa flowers, with deep undertones of royal Hawaiian sandalwood. I would say it’s reviving yet grounding, and fun yet mysterious! Something I find cool is that the Living Libations Petal Perfumes help to balance our body chemistry, which aids in shaping our own personal pheromone (scent) that slowly flourishes as the day wears on.
I am quite sensitive to conventional perfumes (and even some supposedly natural ones), so I can go about my day at ease knowing that this Petal Perfume is 100% natural and created straight from nature. All Living Libations Petal Perfumes are made with the purest available essential oils and biodynamic grape alcohol. The full ingredient list is as follows: tuberose petals, jasmine sambac, carnation, ylang, golden champa, royal Hawaiian sandalwood, and organic biodynamic alcohol.
This is bliss in a bottle!
I am so excited to tell you about the Rose Renewal Frankincense Firming Fluid by Living Libations. This is a milky, pearlescent pink, moisturising serum that has done absolute wonders for my complexion. Rose Renewal Frankincense Firming Fluid is lightweight and refreshing to use, and I can genuinely say that my skin is more plump, even in tone, and hydrated after use. You will be delighted to wake up to soft and supple skin after using it before bed!
This serum is very versatile and works well with creams and oil-based products alike. I adore it's rosy formula, made with wild rose hips, infusions of rose petals, and rose otto, all known to contain rejuvenating and restorative properties. Rose Renewal Frankincense Firming Fluid is also a lovely choice for those looking to firm and gently tighten their skin. Its beautiful blend of plant ingredients, including frankincense and rose, work together to increase skin’s resiliency, elasticity, moisture, and improve the appearance of scars, dryness, and wrinkles.
A little of this rosy potion goes a long way, so I feel this will last me quite a while despite using daily! Here is the full list of ingredients for the Rose Renewal Frankincense Firming Fluid: aloe vera, wild rosehips, jojoba, calendula infusion, comfrey infusion, rose petal infusion, horsetail infusion, rose hip infusion, frankincense, immortelle, rose otto, schizandra, geranium, neroli, carrot seed, sage and rosemary extracts, and stone root. This is one of the most effective formulas I’ve come across and I also wanted to point out that the aloe vera base is soothing and healing for inflamed skin. So many wins!
There is no other way to describe the Sweet Sleep Serum by Living Libations than a true lullaby elixir. I always keep this bottle on my bedside table and use it every night, rubbing a single sedative drop onto my wrists, temples, neck, and chest (sometimes I even add a drop onto my pillow), to settle me into a peaceful slumber. It smells absolutely heavenly!
This essential oil blend of lavender, vanilla, marjoram, sweet thyme, hemp blossoms, and spikenard, is calming to the nervous system, melts away stress, and releases tension so you can unwind and relax for sleepy time. Going to bed at a decent hour is something I find challenging, and so having this serum as part of my nighttime routine helps me look forward to hopping into bed and falling asleep to this comforting aroma. A few drops of Sweet Sleep Serum is also my first choice to create a dreamy and soothing bath. I highly recommend this after a long and busy day!
