#Ilike skin care full

What was this doing here? Since parthenocissus inserta is considered to be an invasive species in Hungary, it is fortunate that ilike has found a good use for it. Even more exciting was the discovery that parthenocissus inserta is Virginia creeper.

#Ilike skin care full

For example, ilike’s Organic Wrinkle Eliminator Serum ($88) is full of botanicals that I hadn’t heard of, or even if I had (like pansy) had no idea what they might do in anti-wrinkle cream.Īs it happens, pansy extract – the second ingredient in Wrinkle Eliminator after aloe – is used to control acne thanks to antibacterial properties, as well as eczema. When I started to look closely at ilike’s products, I immediately realized that its selection of extracts makes many other natural products look as special as a bouquet bought at a corner deli. But even Estee Lauder has its token botanicals, so I wondered if ilike could claim to have the cream of the crop.

These are the resources that ilike draws on for its organic skin care range. Hungary is known for its thermal hot springs along the Carpathian Ridge and they help enrich the soil with trace minerals to produce an abundance of fruit, vegetables and herbs. I have often wondered if this came about as a result of all those years behind the Iron Curtain, forcing Hungarians to come up with novel solutions while the West was buying Estee Lauder. For some reason, Hungary has always been a leader in skin care treatments and, in particular, botanical ingredients. I was tipped off about ilike Organic Skin Care by my esthetician Ildi Pekar, which is not surprising since they are both Hungarian.
