Bambu Earth’s tagline is “You’re beautiful and there’s nothing we can do about it.” HOW CUTE! Created with the highest ingredients and partnered with exclusively ethical producers, Bambu Earth formulates their skincare with pure botanicals, butters, oils and wildcrafted ingredients designed to rebalance skin to its optimal natural state.

Unfortunately when the season changes I usually get my super-annoying perioral dermatitis symptoms - which are like acne, but resulting from dryness and inflammation as opposed to regular acne, which comes from a combination of bacteria, hormonal reaction and inflammation.

What I look for to augment my prescription topical cream is a soothing, anti-inflammatory and non-comedogenic cream that isn’t overly heavy.

The Intense Hydration Cactus Concentrate by Bambu Earth moisturizes and plumps skin with a balm-gel texture that melts into skin. The woods-meets ocean scent and skin-soothing benefits comes from the intense blend of natural ingredients: Prickly Pear Seed Oil, Murumuru, Organic Raw Fair Trade Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Kukui Nut Oil, Organic Cold-Pressed Tamanu Oil, Baobab Oil, Blue Tansy Essential Oil, Helichrysum Essential Oil, Turmeric Essential Oil, Frankincense Essential Oil, and Rosemary Antioxidant Extract.

The blue tansy, turmeric and rosemary are especially soothing as anti-inflammatories and the overall feel is YUM. Described as a “pressed serum,” the formula packs in benefits and acts as a simple, natural winter cure-all.
