Beauty Bible Loves… Odylique Ultra-Rich V
‘V’, here, stands for vegan – a vegan version of Odylique’s bestselling balm, And it’s no small feat, since beeswax is the easiest wax to use, when you want to turn a blend of oils into a solid.
This is a barrier treatment that belongs in every cupboard, for touchy skin, dryness, cracking, to add a protective layer before washing up or swimming… A touch, warmed between hands, can also be smoothed into the hair to calm frizzy ends.
100% natural and 95% organic, Ultra-Rich V has a simple but effective list of ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil, castor oil extract, sea buckthorn extract – and candelilla wax, to solidify. Just what is that? Well, it’s a vegetable wax from the leaves of the candelilla shrub, which is native to the US and northern Mexico.
Brilliantly, Odylique offer a dinky sample size of Ultra-Rich V for just £2.50 – great for trying it out, or for slipping in a handbag.
