Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Night Cream Review

Sibu Beauty approached The Vegan Peach with the opportunity to review their replenishing night cream. I have previously used their facial scrub and adored it so jumped on the opportunity.

Sibu offers products that are not only effective but cruelty-free, vegan, sustainable, fair trade and GMO free. You can also see their humanitarian efforts here.

They offer a full range of products from cleansers, creams, serums and even supplements. Their products all contain a unique blend steaming from sea buckthorn as the main ingredient. Read for yourself:

"For healthy and beautiful hair, skin and nails

High in the Tibetan Himalayas (12,000 feet above sea level) grows a tiny but resilient fruit that resists the harsh weather conditions and high altitudes. The sea buckthorn berry fortifies itself against the elements by producing an array of powerful nutrients. With over 190 bioactive compounds, sea buckthorn is an unsurpassed source of Omegas 3, 6, and 9. And it's a rich source of the elusive essential fatty acid, Omega-7, an essential fatty acid vital to collagen production and healthy skin, hair and nails."

Cruelty-free and Vegan certified

 The Sibu Sea Buckthorn replenishing night cream has been a great addition to my routine. Although, I do not use it every single night, I use it at least 3 times a week. It has a mild but soothing smell that adds to the relaxation before bed. The cream goes on smooth and feels fantastic on the skin. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed with a bit of tightness that is perfect for aging or any stubborn wrinkles you may have. It has really helped the dryness that I occur in the winter months and I have noticed a total improvement in the health of my skin.

Their products can be ordered directly from their website but I do know they are also available at many of my local stores as well including; Marshalls and Superstore. If you are looking for a mid to high-end skincare regime, I highly recommend Sibu. As their tagline states "Ethical Meets Beauty." That just about sums up their company. Better for you, the planet and our animal friends.

Thanks to Sibu Beauty for giving me the opportunity to review this lovely product.
