The jar is made from glass. It is quite sturdy and heavy.  The vintage design has a nice warm feeling to it.

Aloe Vera is an ingredient known to heal skin and it is used since ancient Egypt. However, do check if you have allergic to aloe vera. I can’t use fresh aloe vera from the plant itself so I prefer the one already processed.


PHB Skin Restore Gel has a nice calming citrus smell to it. The texture of the gel feels more like pudding which is very light with a cooling effect even without refrigerating it. The gel dries down really fast without any stick feeling!

PHB SKIN RESTORE GEL ALOE VERA

One can use the PHB Skin Restore Gel to calm sunburn or redness on the skin which is especially effective.  Just apply it thick on the face as face mask to reduce the redness on the face. After all it is organic and one jar can last quite a few months.  I think it is something that every house should have for emergency incase of burn or even sunburn.



Products retails at RM104 inclusive of GST . Size = 120ml Made in UK.

Available at PHB outlets at Parkson Nu Sentral and  Fahrenheit, Jalan Bukit Bintang.

REVIEW ON ETUDE HOUSE COLLAGEN EYE PATCH

Etude House Collagen eye patch is different from the gel version.  The patch is quite big to hydrate the skin around the eyes.

Korean products always come in such cute packaging that you feel sad throwing away the package away after using.  This is especially true for Etude House which appeal to girl with all the pretty pink products.  So, here is this Etude House Collagen eye patch review =)

ETUDE HOUSE COLLAGEN EYE PATCH

The Hangul words near the collagen eye patch means also collagen patch so don't need to worry if you can't understand Hangul (korean language).  There is English instruction at the back of the packet so that would be a big help.

ETUDE HOUSE COLLAGEN EYE PATCH

Description
Formulated with Collagen to revitalize and improve appearance around eyes.

Contents
2 Patches (4g, 0.15 oz.)

How to Use:
Remove clear film from patches and fasten adhesive sides to areas beneath the eyes.
Remove patches after 15~20 minutes.

ETUDE HOUSE COLLAGEN EYE PATCH

ETUDE HOUSE COLLAGEN EYE PATCH

Here is the Etude House eyes mask, there is a net on it.  Please remove it before putting on your face.

ETUDE HOUSE COLLAGEN EYE PATCH

There is a light scent to it but I can't smell it when it is on my eyes area.

It does help to hydrate the area around the eyes.  The patch is comfortable and cooling on the eyes.  It helps with puffiness and hydration. Overall, not bad as it feels cooling and good as a weekly treat or to hydrate the eyes fast.  Fine line is temporary gone because of the hydration.  Not sure if it helps for the wrinkles.

Products retails at $1.98 per patch. For 10% discount use discount code:welcome at the link Here

NEWS: HELPING COMMUNITIES WITH MAHSURI

Helping Communities with Mahsuri 

Mahsuri To Contribute 100% Of All Its Two Weeks Sales Proceeds At Giant Hypermarkets Nationwide Towards Desa Lestari Programme 

Add caption

In December 2014, the East Coast region of Malaysia was hit by the worst flood it has seen in decades, destroying homes and livelihoods and crippling entire villages. As of today, its victims are still left picking up the pieces. In line with Mahsuri’s spirit of giving back to the society, Mahsuri’s latest Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme will be in collaboration with non-profit organisation, Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM) to rebuild and uplift communities affected by the recent floods. 

The leading brand in fine sauces and condiments goes all out in this latest Corporate Social Responsibility endeavour as it pledged to donate a full 100% of sales proceeds from every bottle of Mahsuri range of sauces sold at Giant stores nationwide from 26th March to 8th April 2015 to the Programme Desa Lestari organised by Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM). 

Mahsuri’s sauces taps into the true essence of Malay cooking that holds high priority in purity and wholesomeness in its daily food preparation. Mahsuri’s range of sauces are certified Halal by JAKIM and are free of preservatives. Mahsuri’s four sauces; Sweet Soy Sauce, Hot Sweet Sauce, Chicken Marinade and Oyster Flavoured Sauce fulfil the need of every kitchen to serve up scrumptious and authentic tasting Malay dishes.  

“This CSR is very close to our hearts as we have witnessed the suffering of our fellow countrymen during the floods. We believe that in pitching in towards the development of the flood-hit communities, we can slowly but eventually transition them out of poverty into a healthy self-sustainable community no longer in need of external aid, in the long run,” said Carmen Liew, Marketing Director for Mahsuri, Lee Kum Kee Malaysia. 

When the 2014 floods hit the affected states, Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM) has been at the forefront in relief efforts, aggressively providing aid to over 40,000 beneficiaries in Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang. In February this year, Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM) took their relief efforts to another level in the Desa Lestari Programme. Under this project, flood-hit villages are developed in five key components to transform it into a self-sufficient community with social facilities and livelihood opportunities. All proceeds raised by Mahsuri’s corporate social responsibility campaign during this period will be channelled towards development of shelters, sustainable livelihood, education, community empowerment, and Disaster Risk Reduction Management in villages under the Desa Lestari Programme.  

Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM), established in Malaysia in 2005 provides humanitarian aid in the Asia-Pacific region, it served initially as a fundraising office but is currently playing both roles as a fundraising office (for local & international projects) & field office (for implementing local projects). Guided by Islamic values and teachings of Sincerity (Ikhlas), Social Justice (Adil), Compassion (Rahmah), Custodianship (Amanah) and Excellence (Ihsan), IRM executes community, economic and social development programs in Malaysia where the target groups of beneficiaries include, but not limited to, the poor, orphans, single mothers, senior citizens and the physically challenged. 

“With the generous pledge from Mahsuri, we hope to be able to deliver much more in our efforts to transform the villages under the programme into thriving communities with quality infrastructure, ample job opportunities and a healthy economy through local trade,” said Desa Lestari spokesperson, Tuan Zairulshahfuddin B. Zainal Abidin.

NEWS:MELVITA BEE FARM VISIT &APICOSMA ORGANIC SOOTHING CREAM PRESS LAUNCH

April is Earth Month, and is the perfect occasion to reflect on how to protect our planet. Melvita recently celebrated their third locally-based green initiative event organizing a fun-filled media visit to the bee farm, to raise awareness on the importance of bees in maintaining the balance of the earth’s ecology and of course, to promote beekeeping. 

Leading French organic skincare brand Melvita was founded in 1983 by French biologist and beekeeper, Bernard Chevilliat. Besides being one of the pioneers in the world to gain the French ECOCERT and BIO certificates for organic products, it has been leading the world in setting trends of organic beauty care, with its unique formulas developed using more than 900 types of quality natural organic ingredients.

The name Melvita came from two latin words “mel” meaning honey and vita “life” . It refers to the extraordinary work of bees, which represent a coming-together of the plant and animal kingdoms.


It is known to be the organic beauty care brand with the largest range of organically certified product series in the world. Melvita’s organic products include skincare, men’s skincare, hair care, body care, mum & baby, and beehive products. Its 3 signature products include Floral Waters, Plant Oils and Honey series. All Melvita’s products are certified by ECOCERT France, and fulfill the standards of COSMEBIO France (Professional Association for Ecological and Organic Cosmetics). Melvita’s organic products have a high ratio of organic ingredients.



We believe that using organic products is a crucial approach to maintain the earth’s future ecosystem, and insist on:

NO paraffin, silicone, PEG (polyethylene glycol) or PPG (polypropylene glycol), ethoxylated products, parabens or phenoxyethanol, formaldehyde or chlorine derivatives, synthetic fragrances or colourings. Protesting against any tests on animals.Using recyclable packaging to the best we can.



In recent years, reports have shown that bee population all over the world has dropped dramatically. Ecological experts have also warned the ecology of bees will have a great impact on the future of plants or humans. Due to the close relationship between Melvita and bees and its pro-active approach in promoting the awareness of bee ecology, Melvita Foundation has been established to help local beekeepers, bee ecology research, and organic farming from different countries, to further increase the awareness of the public towards bee conservation, organic farming and environmental protection. Care for nature, professionalism in the organic industry, and environmental preservation are the THREE main philosophies of Melvita.



So the visit to the Happy Bee Farm at Genting Highlands is one of the efforts to promote awareness in the importance to make the Earth a better place for the bees.



One of the global initiative by the Melvita foundation is a project lead by Friends of the Earth in London, United Kingdom. The campaign is called “The Bee Cause” with the objectives to encourage bees to live in the city with creating a haven for the bees but as providing more food and encourage locals to plant more wild flowers.

Just in two years, the objective was already achieved. About 70 bee worlds were created with 3,276m² for bees and other pollinating insects.



What is ECOCERT? What is BIO?

ECOCERT is an organic certification organization founded in France in 1991. Its Ecological and Organic Charter is considered as the standards of the organic industry. Its certification standards are extremely stringent, completely prohibiting disputable ingredients and most synthetic preservatives in products. Detailed analysis is also carried out. This is to ensure the ingredients, place of origins, production methods; refining methods, quality preservation and other aspects fulfil relevant eco-friendly organic standards before being approved for certification. BIO is the certification dedicated to beauty care products, to certify there is at least 95% of the total ingredients are from natural origin, and at least 95% of the total plant-based ingredients are organic, while at least 10% of the total ingredients are from organic farming.*Generally, beauty care products contain 50% – 80% water. Water cannot be listed as certified-organic ingredients.

 

To create this pollinator-friendly garden, Melvita has thoughtfully selected Lavender, Mint, Roses and Hibiscus plants. These bee-friendly plants are amongst the signature ingredients of Melvita, which can be found in:


Lavender Floral Water, Lavender Shea Butter, Gentle Purifying Shampoo, Extra-soft Foot Cream, Fresh Breath Toothpaste, Organic Rose Beauty Mist, Rose Floral Water, Rose Cranberry Cream Soap, Rose Extraordinary Water, Wild Rose Soap Bar, Nectar Pur range of products, Rose Nectar range of products, Pulpe de Rose range of products and Floral Bouquet range of products.

With this visit, Melvita Malaysia launch the Apicosma  Organic Soothing Cream that is specially created for dry and sensitive skin type.  The important ingredients are Thyme honey , Orange Blossom honey and Acacia honey. Majority of the products from Melvita are made from honey.  Besides that the Apicosma Soothing Cream smells really good and has a soft silky texture.

The nice fragrance is made from organic ingredients that will cause any allergic.  For the first time, Melvita blended a concoction of fresh notes from organic plant ingredients and came up with this pleasant scent.

 The cream repair, nourish, revitalise and protect skin.
