The Brand: Facing a life-threatening brain tumor, brought on by environmental toxins, the founder, Indie Lee channeled her energy to create this eco-chic collection of skincare products. As a natural brand, she is also cruelty-free.
The Beauty: A facial oil that promotes elasticity, diminishes age spots and hyper-pigmentation.
What You’ll Find: 100% Squalane Oil. Which, I’m sure you’re asking – ‘What the hell is that?’. Ok, here goes. Squalene {with an ‘e’ } is found naturally in plants. Indie Lee gets hers from olives. Then, to make the oil more stable, it undergoes a hydrogenation process. The result, a more stable saturated oil with a long shelf life. P.S., other great saturated oils are coconut and grape seed.
What You Won’t Find: It’s just Squalene, so that’s it. Nothing else.
Where to Buy: Nordstrom, Anthropologie, Birchbox for $32
FBM Thoughts: So, this was actually the first facial oil I’ve ever used. I too was hesitant to put oil on my face. A few months back, I wrote this post about the Natural beauty products I was currently using and included this product. Even back then, I was easing into facial oils and only wearing this Squalane oil on the days I didn’t wear makeup.
But as the weather turned colder, I really had to increase my moisturization to help with my dry skin. It really is super lightweight and doesn’t make my skin feel greasy. I’m a tinted moisturizer kinda girl and only occasionally wear foundation so daily heaviness doesn’t work for me. I don’t do the same skincare routine everyday, but have found myself reaching for this product 3-4 times a week. Lastly, has a neutral smell – not something that wows you, but not something that turns you off completely.
Other Squalene Products: While I immediately think of Indie Lee for Squalene, they aren’t the only game in town. More brands are harvesting this natural ingredient.
Have you tried Indie Lee or any other Squalane products? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts below!
