Silicones are the beauty industry's favorite magic trick — but what are they really doing to your skin and the planet? We break down the science, the cover-up, and the clean alternatives.
Is petroleum jelly safe for lips? While petrolatum and mineral oil are often considered safe, long-term daily lip balm use raises important questions about PAH contamination, refining transparency, and chronic ingestion exposure. Learn the science behind petroleum-based ingredients, why occlusion doesn’t repair lips, and why plant-based bioactives, like dew, offer a healthier alternative to petroleum lip balm.
Winter doesn’t just lower the temperature it also brings the dryness and recirculated indoor air. Outdoor cold air holds less humidity. Indoor heat blasts moisture out of everything it touches. Wind lashes out on the skin increasing trans epidermal water loss. Combined, these shifts thin the lipid layer that protects your skin barrier, leaving it more reactive, more inflamed, and more likely to break out. DEW provides skin refuge.
Our skincare isn’t a trend. It’s a formulation advantage. Most traditional skincare products are 70%+ water which also requires stabilizers, preservatives, and system formers, to create high profit products for big beauty brands. This also creates an ideal environment for bacteria, yeast, and mold to grow. That’s why water-based skincare relies heavily on preservatives to remain shelf-stable and safe during daily use. Which can also sensitize and even irritate skin. We remove the need for water in a bottle entirely. By formulating anhydrous, waterless skincare, we eliminate the primary condition microbes need to survive.
Have you ever wished you could *actually* make your acne disappear overnight? Why hide it under a sticker or dry it out with a stinging lotion, instead truly help your skin clear pores and repair the barrier faster. We get it. Those pesky blemishes always seem to show up right before an important event, a date, or a moment when you want to feel your best. The good news? With the right routine, you can calm breakouts naturally and support your skin’s long-term glow.
Your skin is a brilliant, biointelligent organ made to protect, repair, and renew—no 12-step routine required. Understanding its natural composition helps you make better choices about what you put on it (and what you don’t need). Let’s get under the surface.
Let’s get one thing clear: we’re all for circular living. No waste? Yes, sounds great. But when it comes to what goes on your skin—especially your delicate, hard-working face—we’re raising an eyebrow at the beef tallow beauty trend. Beef tallow, or rendered cow fat, has had a surprising revival lately. Fans claim it’s “ancestral,” “natural,” and “nutrient-rich,” which all sounds lovely... in a bone broth. But let’s look past the glow-up marketing and get into why tallow is great for greasing your skillet, but not so great for your face.
We’ve all been there—sun-drenched, wind-kissed, and suddenly scorched but trying to enjoy time outside or worse yet… on an expensive vacation. Whether you missed a reapplication window or underestimated the afternoon rays, that red, tight, stingy feeling is your skin asking for support STAT. Aloe is a first-aid classic—but it's limited. BLOOM is you vacation rescuer to help you relax faster even when the redness and sting begins.
