SIBU Re-Brands with the SIBU Sea Berry Therapy Line:

The premium natural skincare and suppliment brand SIBU has replaced their Sibu Beauty line with SIBU Sea Berry Therapy. This re-branding and repackaging more clearly defines the core ingredient, The Sea Berry, and how SIBU products are a solution for problematic skin. This SIUB Sea Berry Therapy line targets skin concerns such as eczema, acne, rosacea, sun damage, and excessive dryness. 

What sets SIBU apart from other brands using the Sea Berry (sea buckthorn)? SIBU stands out because of the quality of the wild berry it sources exclusively from the Himalayan highlands. More from SIBU about the Sea Berry: Known as Turkestanica, this sea berry sub-species thrives in the harsh environment at 12,000 ft. above sea level. Packed with over 190 bioactive compounds, it’s the most nutrient-dense of all sea buckthorn varieties and is the world’s richest source of omega-7 fatty acids. 

SIBU's new product line name, logo, and package design are very fitting for the fabulous products inside the packaging! SIBU Sea Berry Therapy consists of a full range of gentle, yet effective, skin care products and supplements that work for for dry damaged skin, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and more. In addition to topical personal care products, SIBU also offers a varitey of supplements.

To get re-acquainted with the line and the new packaging, I tried a variety of items from the SIBU Sea Berry Therapy line: SIBU Sea Berry Therapy Polishing Facial Cleanser, SIBU Sea Berry Therapy Hydrating Face Serum, SIBU Sea Berry Therapy Clarifying Facial Toner, and SIBU Sea Berry Seed Oil.

My Skin Loves: Sibu!!! Facial Cleanser and Eye Cream Review

Affiliate Link Press Sample

It is time for another installment of the "My Skin Loves" skincare blog series! My skin can be temperamental and I typically write about skincare that works well for me. The "My Skin Loves" series highlights the "best of the best" of my home skincare arsenal.

My Skin:

I believe that your skin's needs are constantly changing and you need to evaluate your skin and give it what it needs. Your skin's needs and temperament can fluctuate not only week-to-week or month-to-month, but also day-to-day. It can be complicated and frustrating for sure! Currently, I am pregnant. So, my hormones have been wreaking havoc on my skin. I have changed from my usual "combo" to "combo-oily" and even just straight up "oily". My skin has also been somewhat acne-prone lately through this pregnancy. 

Signs of Aging?

Yes, I am starting to see some signs of aging in my skin. As a women in my late 30s (40 is just around the corner, ya'll!), I am seeing some fine lines around my eyes and even my mouth. While I have not deep lines or wrinkles yet, I do want to keep those at bay. Also, I do have some dark spots emerging. These tend to occur with me during pregnancy and they seem to slowly fade after pregnancy.

Sibu and the Sea Buckthorn Berry:
Sibu Beauty is an entire skincare line designed to deliver the nutrients of the Sea Buckthorn berry to your skin in a pure and natural way. The idea behind Sibu was sparked when the founder traveled to India and met an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs who introduced him to the famed Sea Buckthorn berry.

What is so great about the Sea Buckthorn Berry? According to Sibu: With over 190 bioactive compounds, sea buckthorn is an unsurpassed source of Omegas 3, 6, and 9. And it's a rich source of the elusive essential fatty acid, Omega-7, an essential fatty acid vital to collagen production and healthy skin, hair and nails.

My Skin Loves: Sibu's Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser and the Sibu Sea Buckthorn Age Defying Eye Cream:
There is no question that my "skin loves" Sibu! The products are gentle and effective and my skin has really improved. Actually, one of these products is my new "Holy Grail" favorite! That does not happen often!!!

Unleash the Power of the Sea Buckthorn Berry! Sibu's Sea Buckthorn Cleansing Face and Body Bar

Have ya'll heard all of the raves for Sibu Beauty Skincare? I, for one, have been dying to try this brand!

The main component in Sibu Beauty's Skincare is the Sea Buckthorn berry. The entire line is engineered around this ancient and accalimed superfruit.

What is so great about the Sea Buckthorn Berry?
I will fully admit that I have not even heard of the Sea Buckthorn until I tried this line by Sibu! Have you heard of it? The Sea Buckthorn is getting a lot of buzz! I mean, even Dr. Oz calls this berry the "New Miracle Berry".

So, what is the scoop? The Sea Buckthorn is packed with protective nutrients such as Vitamins A, C, E, K, minerals, and carotenoids, flavonoids, antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytosterols. To count them all, the amazing superfruit the Sea Buckthorn berry hosts upwards of 19- identified bio-active nutrients! Wow!  Of all of the nutrients inside this powerhouse berry, the standout components are the Omega Fatty Acids 3, 6, 7, and 9.

The Sea Buckthorn is specifically a good source for rare Omega 7 Fatty Acids. Omega 7, or Palmitoleic Acid, is hard to find in nature. The Sea Buckthorn is actually the main plant-based source for this nutrient! Omega 7 is a naturally occurring skin nutrient. In healthy skin, Omega 7 helps to neutralize free radicals and aids in the production of collagen, a body function that begins to diminish with age. Omega 7 studies have shown improvement in membrane function, skin and tissue hydration, and enhanced elasticity.

The Skinny on the Sea Buckthorn Berries in Sibu Beauty Skincare:

• All Natural
• Wild-Crafted
• Easily Sustainable
• Fair Trade
• Full of Omega 3, 6, 7, & 9
• Natural source of Vitamins A, B, C, & E
• Gluten-free
• Powerful Antioxidant with 190 Bioactive Nutrients

Not only does Sibu Beauty pack the amazing Sea Buckthorn Berry into their products, but also, the company is cruelty-free and vegan and they practice sustainability.

Now that we know the amazing properties of the Sea Buckthorn Berry. Lets specifically talk about the product that I tried out: the Sea Buckthorn Cleansing Face and Body Bar.
