NO WORRIES: Enjoy a Fun, Fresh Summer with Beauty Bar’s Newest Skin and Hair Care Brands
Despite warm weather and ample sunshine being a constant almost all year round, we Filipinos sure get excited over the summertime. We dig up our best swimsuits, flock to the pool, make trips to the beach, plan hikes and camping trips—but all that excitement comes with its fair share of beauty woes. Keeping our skincare, haircare and sun care in check is an especially tough task in the summer, what with the dialed-up warmth and humidity at an all-time high.
Just in time for the summer months, the ultimate one-stop shop for all things beauty and personal care is serving up answers to all our summer-spurred setbacks. Beauty Bar spotlights five of its newest skin and hair care brands to keep you protected, nourished and confident until the very last day of summer. Here’s to having the best summer yet!
Ecococo
Nothing brings memories of summer rushing back quite like the smell of fresh coconuts by the beach. This summer, Beauty Bar spotlights Australian-owned brand Ecococo and their coconut oil-infused products. Hinging on the ingredient’s countless health and skincare benefits, Ecococo puts Certified Organic Coconut Oil at the core of their extensive product range.
Among the Ecococo essentials that deserve a spot in your vacation bag this summer is the Coconut + Sea Salt Face Mask, a gentle product that strips toxins and impurities from the skin and leaves nothing less than luminous, supple skin in its wake. When hitting the pool, remember to keep the Coconut + Lime Body Butter closeby. Combining coconut oil’s moisturizing properties with a touch of invigorating lime, this product brings hydration back into the skin after a sunbathing session. If you find yourself in the wild outdoors this season, treat yourself to a rewarding post-hike bath with the Spa Edition Body Scrub, made with sea salt, coconut oil and a calming blend of essential oils.
Hei Poa
Rooted in Polynesian culture, beauty brand Hei Poa brings the multipurpose magic of Tahiti Monoi to the fore. Monoi, which translates into perfumed oil, is known to contain natural benefits for the skin and hair and. It is crafted by Tahitian families and passed down from one generation to the next, making it a cultural staple in their part of the world.
Rich in Omega-9, Omega-6 and Vitamin E, Monoi doesn’t just deliver a punch of moisture—it repairs and protects the skin and hair while it does so, making it an all-around beauty essential. Also on Hei Poa’s product roster: a dry oil Monoi spray with SPF50—free of preservatives, alcohol and coloring—to shield and soothe your skin all summer long.
Dr. Paw Paw
In the beauty realm, words like “essential” and “holy grail” tend to get thrown around easily, when in truth the products that can multitask—and do a good job to boot—are far and few. One such product is Dr. Paw Paw, a benefit-rich, multipurpose balm made from Pawpaw fruit, Aloe Vera and Olive Oil. With rich, nourishing properties, Dr. Paw Paw balms can elevate haircare, skincare, nail care and body care routines alike, especially in the unrelenting scorch of the summer.
Lovers of the original Dr. Paw Paw balms have three reasons to look forward to the summertime: Dr. Paw Paw in three summer-appropriate iterations. The Dr. Paw Paw Outrageous Orange Balm packs intense moisture and a universally flattering pigment—perfect for nailing that warm, sun-kissed look we all find ourselves double-tapping on Instagram. The Dr. Paw Paw Hot Pink Balm, on the other hand, delivers a bold tinge of electric pink, ideal for a pop of color on the lips or the apples of the cheeks. Meanwhile, the Dr. Paw Paw Rich Mocha Balm is a must-have for beauty junkies who love an understated, nude lip.
Not Your Mother’s Naturals
Bridging the gap between the salon and home, Not Your Mother’s Naturals hair products are formulated to deliver high quality results without breaking the bank. Their naturals line—made with 98% naturally derived ingredients and without parabens, sulfates, dyes, gluten and phthalates—includes three unique scent combinations derived from nature.
