This product is dermatologist tested and formulated without mineral oils, petrolatum, synthetic preservatives, dyes, fragrances, and animal origin ingredients. Belif's The True Cream Aqua Bomb is a 2015 Self Approved Beauty award winner. This formula contains a blend of apothecary herbs, including antioxidant-rich lady's mantle which helps neutralize skin-damaging free radicals, improves skin elasticity, and minimizes the appearances of pores. The refreshing cream is formulated to burst when applied, releasing a flood of weightless moisture onto skin for a healthy, smooth, supple appearance. One interesting aspect of Belif skincare products is the labeling approach used by the company. Instead of simply providing a list, the manufacturer utilizes visual charting to show the proportion of some of the key ingredients. This is quite uncommon in the skin care industry.

Lady's Mantle: A moisturizing herb used since medieval times by European women to keep their complexion smooth and youthful Belif as a brand has since become one of my favorites, since its formulations are so unique: The K-beauty brand was inspired by Scottish botanist Duncan Napier's apothecary research, and each of its products feature and harness the power of herbal remedies, and are free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic preservatives, synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrances, mineral oils, and ingredients from animals. However, as helpful as this may be, it’s important to note that the actual effectiveness of different herbal extracts in Belif skincare may vary from product to product. To avoid this, the manufacturer would have to test each batch of essential oils and extracts to measure the content of active chemicals within these ingredients. It is unclear whether the company actually goes to such testing lengths. Further, the company suggests that today’s definition of herbal skin care has become somewhat skewed, as many individuals refer to “herbs” as any plants that have a nice scent. Belif skincare products, however, are only made with plants that are believed to have medicinal or healing properties.

How Belif Skincare Products Work

In addition to the nourishing formula, I’m also a major fan of the product’s ever-so-slightly sweet and earthy natural scent. There’s no added fragrance here, but the combination of extracts in the formula and the pillowy texture of the moisturizer always transport me to a seaside house with freshly-laundered white towels. (Maybe the adorable cap on my tub, which shows a hippopotamus in a river, has something to do with it?) Wherever it sensorially transports you, you’ll have silky, plump, and hydrated skin while you’re there.
