The Eminence brand, which has been around since 1958, takes farming and clean beauty practices into consideration with every product it creates. For instance, some of the ingredients utilized in its formulas are even good enough to eat (looking at you, pineapples). Eminence is also all about giving back to the environment — for every product sold, a tree is planted.
Knowing all of that, along with the fact that we are always looking for new products to try that will keep dry, sensitive and hyperpigmentation-prone skin in check, we find ourselves turning to Eminence, specifically its Tropical Superfood Collection. The products in the lineup calm, hydrate and brighten the skin without ever stripping or over-exfoliating it which is why, they deserve a permanent place in my skin-care routine.
If your skin is looking lacklustre, it's time to supercharge that glow. The new Tropical Superfood Collection harnesses the power of superfoods with the invigorating formulas below. The Collection offers a refreshing lineup of products that easily integrates into your current skin care routine and pairs exfoliating PHA (polyhydroxy acid) with vitamin-rich botanicals to address dull and tired skin.
