A Few Drops of This Clean Face Oil Is Like a Tall Glass of Green Juice for Your Skin
Did you know that America permits carcinogenic ingredients in skincare that are banned in other countries? Yikes. Learning this prompted me to switch to a regimen without irritating, artificial additives found in most department store brands, and eventually led me to the discovery of my new fave (and your soon-to-be fave): the Mara Algae and Moringa Beauty Universal Oil.
The lightweight, super clean formula is powered by a cocktail of anti-aging and irritation-reducing ingredients, including Moringa, Algae, and a slew of different antioxidants, along with uplifting bergamot and orange peel oil. What it doesn't contain is toxic added chemicals or fragrances, making it a great option for any skin type (including sensitive).
Despite being an oil, the Universal face oil is not greasy at all whatsoever. Rub some oil in your palm to warm up the product and it smoothes on easily and absorbs quickly. This oil gives the skin a youthful, hydrated glow that lasts all day and creates a smooth base for makeup. It can even be applied to the eye area without irritation—a rarity among face oils, I've come to realize. While it protects skin in winter months against harsh elements, it’s light enough for summer use, too. I also use it on my neck and decollete, and despite slathering it everywhere the bottle lasts a long time.
