Philippine botanicals can be good for your skin


Love our own, harness the power of our local plants

Good skin starts with a good skincare routine. It's part of your habit and your attitude in relation to how you take care of yourself. And whether you're the type to spend a good 15 minutes to slather on all your favorite skincare products or settle into an easy three-step skincare routine, it's all the same self-care effort of allotting time for yourself.

A homegrown brand, Habitude (a play of habit and attitude) aims to make care for our skin easier with their three star products that are clean, natural, and effective. What makes these products extra special are the ingredients harnessed—local botanicals such as rice ferment, plant mucin, carrot seed oil, tomato leaf extract, and aloe vera.

Read on and get to know more about these products.

Hydration is always the key to smooth and supple skin, and the Hardworking Miracle Water, P849 for 100ml, hydrates and works as toner as well. Removing makeup and dirt, it also unclogs pores, tones, and moisturizes. It also has anti-aging ingredients such as Galactomyces and micronutrient-rich rice ferment filtrate (Oryza sativa) for a healthy, youthful glow.

Glass skin is still very much in, and the Seriously Revitalizing Serum, P949 for 30ml) can help deliver luminous and dewy skin. With plant mucin, two percent hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and many other antioxidants, a few drops will hydrate, repair, and energize.

Of course, sun protection is important which is why the Go-Getter Moisture + Sun Stick, P550 for 25g, is a two-in-one product that moisturizes and protects. This facial stick has 20 percent zinc oxide and antioxidant botanicals such as carrot seed oil, tomato leaf extract, and aloe vera that when combined gives a potent mix that nourishes and shields your face from UV rays. Mineral oil-free, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic, it's safe for just about everyone.

Here's another detail that gets our two thumbs up. Everything is made of recycled materials, including the tube that is certified 100 percent compostable. And we're loving the colorful cardboard packaging, too!
