AOA Skin - toastycashew review for Squalane 100,000 ppm Barrier Cream

𝔸𝕆𝔸 𝕊𝕜𝕚𝕟 𝕊𝕢𝕦𝕒𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕖 𝟙𝟘𝟘,𝟘𝟘𝟘𝕡𝕡𝕞 𝔹𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕣 ℂ𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕞 Let's talk about claims: 🍓Normal to dry skin, product ph 5.5 🍓Hydrates and replenishes skin, protects and heals the barrier 🍓"squalane works to naturally seal in moisture. As squalane protects and calms, it helps to energize the skin. It mimics the skin's natural moisturizing factor and has antioxidant properties." This squalane is plant-derived. 🍓 Cruelty free, vegan, hydrating, and replenishing, advanced k-beauty 🍓 Paraben, silicone, mineral oil, sulfate, formaldehyde, and artificial fragrance free Pros: 🫐 Packaging! I actually do love the packaging. It comes in a recyclable pouch with a little screw off top similar to applesauce pouches. 20ml of product costs $1.77usd. It's more product than you think! I love having the option to buy multiple and dispense them into my own packaging (I'm sure this is the idea behind this line of products) to create full size amounts. The website also sells little reusable containers you can purchase. The packaging also makes it extremely compact and easy to take on the go. 🫐 Minimal ingredients! This product has minimal ingredients and it's great for those who are sensitive to a lot of things. Being silicone free is what sold me on this product. 🫐 Texture! This product is creamy and easily spreadable on the skin. It feels very nourishing and almost watery/cooling immediately after application, but dries down quickly and seals everything in with the help of squalane. On my skin, it does get a little matte versus staying dewy. Final thoughts: 🍊Overall, I will give this product 4/5 stars as I like the concept behind this line and I think this will work perfectly for me in the warmer weather when my skin is not as picky. If your skin is combination or oily I think this will work great as a lightweight last step to seal everything in during the winter. For drier skin types like me, I'd say give it a try if you're curious given the 20ml size and $1.77usd price point you've got nothing to lose.
