The movement of vegan-friendly, superfood-infused clean beauty and skincare products has taken the globe by storm, and thank goodness it has. Long gone are the days where we want to (often unknowingly) add layers and layers of chemicals onto our face, or actively participate in animal-tested beauty brands. The world is woke, and I am so here for it. I am also so here for RAWW Cosmetics, an Australian based skincare and makeup brand that push such values.
“We like to keep it real! That means only using the best superfoods and natural ingredients possible and never playing around with nasty toxins. If it’s good for your skin, you’ll find it in your fave Raww products.”
Deeply focused on clean, superfood-infused skincare, makeup and aromatherapy, RAWW believe in real, inclusive beauty, healthy and accessible quality products with self-care as a top priority – always – and having fun! They have full makeup and skincare ranges plus reed and aroma diffusers, essential oils, candles, and much more.
Skincare
The superfood infused skincare range is packed with natural superfood natural ingredients that are designed to bring out the best in your skin. Each skincare item has a concoction of it’s own superfood active ingredients that include the likes of Coconut Water Avocado Oil, Mango Seed Butter and Sweet Almond Oil but, the hero wonder-ingredient must be the Wildberry Harvest. Made from 3 Australian super-berries (Pepperberry, Riberry and Muntries), it provides immediate and long term skin hydration, stimulates hyaluronic acid production (yas to this!), increases skin’s hydration and is high in antioxidants.
“Your skin is the largest organ in your body and it can take a beating, absorbing anything it touches. So if you’re layering yourself in parabens, talc, sulphates, chemicals and other scary ingredients, you’re going to see it. That’s where we come in.
We’re on a mission to bring our babes the very best in hydrating, moisturising skincare. We’re cutting the toxic crap and only including the cleanest, freshest ingredients in our amazing selection of cleansers, toners, moisturisers and serums. Ingredients like nourishing Avocado Oil, moisturising Coconut Water and tightening Acai Berry keep the toxins out and the hydration in.”
I am so into the Dew Drop Hydrating Serum (pictured left). It’s light and non-sticky, I use it every morning before I apply my makeup and it helps to keep my skin soft and hydrated AND helps my makeup to glide on easier for a more flawless finish.
The skincare collection includes Cleansers, Toners, Moisturisers, Serum, Body and Face Masks. The price? Totally affordable too. Everything is under AUS$50 – score!
Makeup
We tend to focus on skincare being made only from natural ingredients, but then blindly accept cosmetics that are stuffed with bad chemicals and toxins. Sadly, ignorance becomes bliss on such topics. RAWW have challenged this mindset and created a full make-up collection that is 100% natural from start to finish. Face, Eyes, Lips, Nails – even Brushes – they’ve got you covered. I’m currently into their Super-Camo Foundation with medium to high coverage – I find it soft to apply and melts into my skin, minimising the appearance of my pores (here for that). Not to mention, this super coverage foundation has SPF15 to protect against sun damage AND is infused with Turmeric to help improve skin clarity and reduce redness.
“100% flawless, 100% real, 100% natural makeup for all natural babes, just like you! We keep it real, which means you don’t get those nasty toxins found in other “natural” makeup brands.
Part of our fresh philosophy is to give you the absolute best in homegrown cosmetics that nourish, amplify and highlight your natural beauty, inside and out. This means all our makeup products are Certified Cruelty Free and Certified Cosmos Natural!”
Aromatherapy
And last but not least, let’s delve into their Aromatherapy section. I am sooooooooo here for this. I only discovered the powers of essential oils on your physical and mental wellbeing after I moved to Singapore, and now use (daily) a room aroma diffuser, pillow spray and incense too. RAWW’s range includes Essential Oils, Carrier Oils, Quick Blends, Diffusers, Body Oils, Roller Oils and even Mood Mists! Oh, and of course, Candles too. I feel like once you embrace the Aromatherapy life, you never look back.
“In need of some balance, relaxation, or a serious energy boost? Our New Aromatherapy range is here to change your world, with 100% natural, pure ingredients specifically chosen for their mood boosting super-powers!
Choose from 100% Pure Essential Oils; 4 super convenient ready to go blends; and 4 nourishing superfood carrier oils.”
Want some RAWW in your life? Well the wait will soon be over, because they’re coming to Singapore shores this year! The brand is in talks with leading SG stockists and should be available very soon! Stay tuned on my socials for when this epic brand hits the island.
