As one of the earliest “two‐in‐one” cleansers to populate the green‐beauty landscape, Sea Buckthorn Best Skin Ever marries ultra-nourishing oils with gentle rose and aloe infusions. Shailene Woodley herself lauded Sea Buckthorn for its antioxidant-rich profile, courtesy of the sea buckthorn berry (Hippophaë rhamnoides).^[1] High in vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, this golden oil regenerates the lipid barrier, calms irritation, and removes makeup without stripping. Clinical estheticians praise its mild emollients (jojoba, coconut) and anti-inflammatory botanicals (lavender, elderflower) for tackling both dryness and blemish-prone skin in one sweep.

Science Behind It: Sea buckthorn oil’s unique ratio of omega-7 fatty acids (palmitoleic acid) supports cell regeneration, while omegas 3, 6, and 9 fortify the skin’s natural moisture barrier.^[2][3][4] The inclusion of rosehip and aloe barbadensis soothes inflammation, making it an ideal ritual for sensitive, acne-prone, or mature complexions.^[3][6]

Celebrity & Professional Endorsement: Shailene’s testimonial is echoed by Living Libations’ own press materials, which highlight that Woodley’s go-to routine made this bestseller fly off shelves after her interview.^[2]

Rose Glow Crème rose to fame after aestheticians observed it healing post-acne scarring and fortifying a weakened barrier. Jars of pink-toned luxury hold an emulsion of rosewater, rosehip, aloe vera, and amber-toned seabuckthorn—plus elderflower, comfrey, and sage extracts. Together, these botanicals deliver gentle exfoliation, barrier repair, and long-term luminosity.^[5] Dermatologists report that the synergistic pairing of vitamins A, C, and E (from rosehip + sage) accelerates collagen synthesis, while comfrey’s allantoin calms inflamed skin.^[5]

Science Behind It: Rosa damascena hydrosol provides mild astringency, reducing redness. Rosa canina (rosehip) seeds are rich in essential fatty acids like linoleic and linolenic acid, which restore elasticity. Althaea officinalis (marsh mallow) and comfrey support keratinocyte turnover, smoothing fine lines. Crucially, sea buckthorn oil again reinforces barrier lipids with palmitoleic acid, reducing transepidermal water loss.^[3][4][5]

Celebrity & Professional Endorsement: Actress Brie Larson has mentioned enjoying Rose Glow as her “nightly ritual,” while celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau calls it a “must-have for anyone building a green-beauty night routine.”^[5]

SoothSayer Serum arrived as a corrective response to harsh winter elements—an ultra-rich blend of sandalwood, boswellia (frankincense), rose otto, and turmeric. Designed to assuage dryness, hyperpigmentation, and inflammation, it layers beautifully under Rose Glow or on its own before bedtime. Ayurvedic experts praise its inclusion of Boswellia serrata, whose boswellic acids hinder 5-lipoxygenase pathways (a key inflammatory enzyme), while Commiphora myrrha (myrrh) oil enhances tissue regeneration. Turmeric’s curcuminoids offer potent antioxidant action, delivering a brightening effect over time.^[7]

Science Behind It: Boswellic acids (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid) inhibit leukotriene synthesis, reducing redness; sandalwood oil (Santalum album) possesses sesquiterpenes that soothe eczema-like conditions. Turmeric’s curcumin acts as an NF-κB inhibitor, quieting chronic inflammation that leads to uneven tone.^[7][8] Lemongrass and geranium strengthen the phytonutrient profile, promoting a dewy finish.

Celebrity & Professional Endorsement: Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr has cited SoothSayer as “my calm-down elixir” after long transatlantic flights. Green-beauty clinical educator Dr. Cynthia Molina notes that “any product blending frankincense and turmeric will deliver resilient results for sensitive skin.”^[7]

Sandalwood Serum Supreme is a lightweight, deep-penetrating oil that elevates dull, stressed, or acne-prone skin. With fresh-pressed sandalwood nut oil as its backbone, it also contains frankincense, sweet thyme, yarrow, and limonene-rich citrus. By reinforcing ceramide production and balancing sebum, sandalwood oil counteracts inflammation while evening skin tone. Boswellia carterii and Commiphora myrrha pair to calm rosacea-prone cheeks, and Anthemis nobilis (Roman chamomile) gently soothes any trace of irritation.^[7][8]

Science Behind It: Santalum album oil boasts high concentrations of alpha-santalol, which exhibits anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.^[7][8] When combined with boswellic acids from frankincense, it creates a fortified barrier that helps prevent future breakouts and supports epidermal renewal. The essential oils of yarrow and lemongrass provide 5-lipoxygenase inhibition, further curbing inflammatory cascades.^[7][8]

Celebrity & Professional Endorsement: Priyanka Chopra has been spotted gifting Sandalwood Serum Supreme to her inner circle as “the ultimate after-sun ritual.” Integrative dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban praises it as “one of the only sandalwood serums that can be applied day or night without clogging pores.”^[7]

Rounding out the Top 5 is Maverick’s Sandalwood + Frankincense Face Crème—a richer, more decadent follow-up to Sandalwood Serum Supreme. This jar unites aloe vera, tamanu, avocado, and shea butter with sandalwood, frankincense, cardamom, and lavender. The thick, restorative texture “plumps” fine lines, deeply hydrates post-shaving skin, and wards off environmental stressors. Because of its luxurious viscosity, celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo swears by it as the last step before red-carpet applications; he calls it “the only crème that delivers true barrier restoration without greasiness.”^[7]

Science Behind It: Cardamom oil (Elettaria cardamomum) supplies cineole, a monoterpene known for its penetrating ability, allowing antioxidant compounds from frankincense and rosemary to reach deeper dermal layers. Calophyllum inophyllum (tamanu) oil’s calophyllolide promotes keratinocyte migration—accelerating wound healing and improving texture. Shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii) strengthens the ceramide network, and lavender’s linalool content adds ent-anti-inflammatory support.^[7][8]

Celebrity & Professional Endorsement: Gisele Bündchen reportedly integrates Maverick Face Crème into her AM/PM routine for an all-day glow, while naturopathic esthetician Lori Crete cites its “unmatched lipid delivery system for dry or mature skin.”^[7]
