may B I'm amazed
Eighteen B is founded on some fascinating science. Lindsay Wray, PhD had studied the amazing properties of silk for a decade. Think about silk for a second … this fine protein fiber that creates strong cocoons, incredible webs, and actual FABRIC (did you forget about that part) - is a major force of nature. Dr. Wray engineered the brand’s proprietary b-silk™ protein to mimic the properties of spider silk, enveloping the skin with a lightweight, breathable barrier that supports the natural skin barrier. The protein acts as both a carrier - bringing nutrients and hydrators into skin - and a barrier, to “keep them close” (<- I love this idea).
In case you’re scared - no it is not made from spider’s webs. It’s actually created through fermentation, and certified vegan.
The Revitalizing Hydrogel Moisturizer by Eighteen B is a super refreshing gel that’s fast absorbing and locks in moisture for all day skin hydration. I loved this for am and as a primer for makeup.
If you like more of a cream feel, the Hydrate + Restore Rich Cream by Eighteen B strengthens your skin’s cellular matrix and leaves it super smooth. This was my go-to moisturizer for the whole time I had the sample. It really did feel silky smooth without a silicone or greasy feel. I miss it! It’s not cheap so it’s on the wishlist!
The products are made without fragrance, sulfates, parabens, silicone and petrochemicals (or spiders).
