Waterless Beauty

Waterless Beauty is cosmetic or skincare products that do not contain water in their formulations. Waterless Beauty also known as anhydrous beauty.

Water (or aqua) is typically the first ingredient seen on product ingredient lists, sometimes comprising more than half of the product volume.

Instead of water, Waterless Beauty uses oils, ferments, butters and oil-soluble active ingredients.

This creates a more eco-conscious and highly effective product.

Here are some of our favorite Waterless Beauty skincare and beauty products.

Waterless Beauty: Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Cream

· Leave a Comment

Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Cream is a fast-absorbing, waterless eye serum packed with skin-restoring organic goodness to plump and treat the delicate eye area skin. It is a small bottle with a big impact because its’ waterless formulation affords maximum absorption of the actives.

Kat Burki Rose Hip Intense Recovery Eye Serum

Why Waterless Beauty

Waterless Beauty refers to when a skincare product formulation does not contain water.

Water is typically the first ingredient seen on product ingredient lists, sometimes comprising more than half of the product volume. Instead of water, Waterless Beauty uses oils, ferments, butters and oil-soluble active ingredients.

There are no unnecessary fillers such as water, silicone, and alcohol in any Kat Burki product.

The KB5 Complex

Kat Burki uses their patented KB5™ formula base instead of water. Instead of actives being diluted, the pure active ingredients work at full force with KB5™.

KB5 Complex is five cold-processed extract essences. Together they create the proprietary KB5 Complex, a trademarked signature blend that replaces the water in all Kat Burki formulas. This makes highly concentrated, pure, eco-conscious formulations. And they are also remarkably effective.

Lets take a closer look at this formulation:

RETINOL

Retinol is a staple in skincare, Retinol is a vitamin A derivative found in many skincare creams. It refines the skin’s texture by causing rapid cell turnover and softens wrinkles.

The Experience

Lightly tap – do not rub – this rich cream around the delicate eye area skin. Despite some powerful actives such as retinol and Vitamin C, it is luxe and soothing, so skin does not feel dry, tight or irritated.

The scent of Rosehips is pleasant but present. I prefer scentless products around the orbital area, but was lulled into making this product an exception.

The cream feel luxe yet surprisingly absorbs very well into the my skin. There is no residue left on the skin. This is a benefit of the waterless KB5 base – it enables actives to do their best work and get deep into the skin.

This makes quick work of smoothing fine lines and evening the skin tone.

Get your glow on with Ready to Glow

Ready to Glow gives a soft, supple look and feel to skin

Ready to Glow gives a soft, supple look and feel to skin

The Experience

One pump is enough for face and throat. Nicely emollient on my chapped lips. There is a very light, pleasant scent of fresh plums, perhaps a hint of apricot.

It absorbs and leaves a finish more like a cream than an oil, I am not greasy at all.  Sunscreen and makeup can be applied immediately without piling or running. Mixing a few drops of Ready to Glow with my foundation gives a soft, luminous look.

While intended for face AND body, there is such good ingredients, we use it primarily on face, throat and décolletage. It also works well on hands and dry cuticles. It absorbs exceptionally well. It is drier than hemi-squalene oil, so if you chose to use it on body and legs, you would not have to wait to dry down before getting dressed.

My skin looks supple after use, not “wet”.

TIP: Try it with your Gua Sha tools, it gives the perfect slip!

Friday Favorites with Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil

· Leave a Comment

This week’s Friday Favorite is Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil. Learn about the beauty benefits of one of our favorite dry oils!

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil contains collagen-building Red Raspberry Seed Oil, rich in ellagic acid.

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil contains collagen-building Red Raspberry Seed Oil, rich in ellagic acid.

Why We Love It

This golden, silky, dry oil combines three power oils for stellar skin results. One of those oils is Red Raspberry Seed Oil.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil moisturizes the skin, builds collagen, improves elasticity, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.

Red Raspberry Seed Oil is gentle yet effective in addressing many skin issues associated with acne and aging.

Raspberry Seed Oil Facts

  1. Raspberry Seed Oil is rich in Ellagic acid which reduces the destruction of collagen as well as protects against Ultraviolet sun damage. [1] Ellagic acid is also a moisture sealant.
  2. Raspberry Seed Oil contains collagen-building Salicylic Acid.
  3. Raspberry seed Oil also contains a high amount of Omega-6 and Omega-3 essential fatty acids.
  4. Raspberry Seed Oil has been shown to reduce the destruction of collagen as well as protect against Ultraviolet damage from the sun. Raspberry Seed Oil contains phytosterols that promote new collagen production.
  5. Red Raspberry oil has a high Vitamin E content. Vitamin E reduces skin damage and removes free radicals that contribute to skin aging.

Waterless Beauty

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil is also a waterless product. Yet it retains moisture without diluting the ingredients.

Water is usually at the beginning of the ingredient list- most of the time making up almost 70 to 80% of the formula. Cutting water from the formulation actually creates a more hydrating product because it won’t interfere with our skin’s natural sebum protective barrier.

The Experience

Kat Burki Power Trio Radiance Oil spreads well. It leaves skin with a non-sticky, non-greasy glow. It seals in skincare products without pilling. 

Just a few drops cover the face, throat, and upper decolletage.
