Live Ingredient List Analysis: Josie Maran’s Whipped Argan Oil Firming Body Butter
This one is surprisingly accessible! I’m really excited to try our starter formulation 😄
Live Ingredient List Analysis: Mad Hippie’s Triple C Night Cream
An interesting cream that uses one of my favourite natural emulsifiers—I’d definitely try a sample if I came across a tester jar at a shop as I’m really curious about the skin feel.
Live Ingredient List Analysis: Laneige’s Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser
What a neat, thoughtfully formulated product!

Ooooh, this was a fun one! A super fluid, self-preserving formulation that feels quite at-home doable, even if we do have to make some swaps.
Live Ingredient List Analysis: Elizabeth Arden’s PREVAGE® Anti-Aging Daily Serum 2.0
Well, this one was an absolute doozy 😅 If Netflix decides to make an 8-part docu-series into how this formulation got so complicated, I’ll host a viewing party so we can all eat popcorn and find out how they settled on using so many different emulsifiers & gelling ingredients 🍿
CleverCurl’s Curl Wonderfoam
A very DIY-able sort of product, if not quite a dupe due to the limited availability of the star hold ingredient.
