Formulated with potent, natural ingredients, this skincare line has been a go-to of mine for years. So much so that I partnered with them to create three co-branded products to give your skin, hair, and nails the exact nutrients they need to thrive.
+ holi ( y o u t h ): Harness the magic of the sea with the oceanic trinity - spirulina, marine collagen, and pearl, along with the tropical adaptogen, Holy Basil. This powerful blend helps to ensure you are radiating vibrant health from the inside out with adaptogenic herbs that have a balancing effect on hormones and inflammation levels. Plus the addition of collagen and pearl work to infuse your skin with nutrients known for their ability to promote glowing skin and a more youthful appearance.
+ holi ( m a n e ): Formulated solely with collagen and pearl for enhanced bioavailability. I take both of these every day mixed in a smoothie or cup of warm water with lemon.
+ holi ( r a d i a n c e ): Glowing skin, lustrous hair and strong nails radiate from the cellular level. MSM and phytoceramides are clinically shown to reduce signs of aging and significantly improve the appearance of skin firmness, tone, hydration and texture, fine lines, wrinkles and acne. It is the new way to take care of the skin from the inside out.
Imagine getting the results of a spa-quality facial from the comfort of your own home. That's exactly what Alitura Naturals 4-Step Facial is designed to deliver! Cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and repair with Alitura's Pearl Cleanser, Meteorite Scrub, Gold Serum, and Night Cream.
Each step of their 4-Step Facial works synergistically to accelerate cell rejuvenation for visible anti-aging results without harsh toxins or synthetic ingredients. Every time I complete the 4-Step Facial before bed, I wake up with a noticeably more radiant complexion.

So many of the products that women use - even "clean" brands - are filled with harmful chemicals produced without any care or intention. By combining ancient beauty and modern alchemization, Shiva Rose set out to create products that are 100% toxin and chemical free so you don't have to second guess anything you are putting onto your skin. They also go above and beyond to make each product in small batches to ensure optimal quality and integrity.
+ Pearl Rose Face Cream: A personal favorite of mine, it marries luminous pearl powder rich in amino acids and minerals with rose extract, hyaluronic acid, willow bark, and calendula. Together, these ingredients enhance hydration and cellular rejuvenation to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
+ Blue Crystal Eye Cream: Containing caffeine from green tea and neem oil, this hydrating yet gentle eye cream is perfect for reducing puffiness and dark circles. And with the addition of a powerful Argireline Peptide solution that works to tighten the skin, this is the perfect natural alternative to botox.
+ Radiant Rose Water: Used to layer and seal in balms, serums, and oils, this super hydrating toner is formulated with amino acids, antioxidants, aloe, gotu kola, and rice water to prevent the appearance of fine lines and slow down the breakdown of skin elasticity. Stack this between your other products in your skincare routine for maximum, glowing results!
