Mara Beauty

Sure you can use a shimmery highlighter to achieve the look, but we’re all about keeping things as natural as possible, which is why we created our MARA Algae + Moringa Universal Face Oil. Like the modern day working girl, we created our Universal Face Oil to be a one woman show she’s insanely hydrating, loaded with vitamins A, B, C, D, E & F, and packed with all essential proteins, phytonutrients, minerals… and even visibly reduces wrinkles and crows feet. If you still want to use a treatment serum, we suggest cleansing first, applying your treatment serum, and sealing in the goodness with our Universal Face Using our product consistently will help boost your skin’s hydration barrier and helps your skin retain moisture, so you’ll experience bouncier, glowing skin all day long.

The ocean is the closest thing we have to the fountain of youth, housing the most nutrient-dense  ingredients and fast-absorbing vitamins that our skin craves. A great example of a prokaryote is our beloved blue green algae, better known as Spiruilina which you probably consume in your smoothies and slather on your face in face masks. It’s estimated that there are over 37,000 species of true algae in the world and over 4,000 cyanobacteria and it’s estimated that we still have about 30,000 different types to discover. I worked with a team of scientists for two years to find the perfect proprietary formula, developing our own signature algae blend–a medley of alaria esculent extracts and micro algae sourced off the coasts of Ireland, England and France–that hydrate, replenish and reduce the visible signs of aging.

It’s a tasty little blue fruit better known in the US as huckleberry, or if you’re British, the whortleberry, all of which have been used for centuries both medically and in cooking for jams and pies. But these blue beauties will do a whole lot more than leave you full after chowing down a delectable pie, they are little miracle workers that help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve the  appearance of skin tone and texture and will leave you radiant. Although you probably won’t find bilberries are your local farmer’s market–they do make frequent cameos in natural skincare products thanks to their unique nutrient profiles. Using bilberry in your skincare routine regularly as well as eating the bilberry fruit will help improve your skin from the inside out.

Fast forward to right now, and there isn’t a more trendy word: cleansing oils, treatment oils, hydrating oils, serum oils, vitamin C oils And just like with food, oils in skincare and fats in food were never the problem… the problem is with the fake chemicals and compounds and that little addictive substance called refined sugar, but that’s a whole different story. But I assure you just like I assure my friends–there are oils out there that won’t clog your pores and even help control the production of sebum, namely our first ingredient in our MARA Universal Face Oil, moringa. If you tend to suffer from break outs and oily skin, you need to stick to oils that are non-comedogenic (ie: won’t clog pores) and have a low comedogenic score, preferably in the 0-2 range.
