Yummy Me has been with us since late 2019 and their products have continually climbed in popularity. Always putting the well-being of their customers first, Yummy Me makes their handmade self-care products with ingredients free from toxins and animal testing. The maker and photographer behind the company, Tina Chang, wants everyone who buys her products to celebrate in their own strength, spirit, and adventure.

From soap bars to dry body oil, Yummy Me’s products are moisturizing for the skin and body. With oils like coconut, sweet almond, olive and avocado there is no wonder their soap bars leave your hands feeling soft and moisturized. The Cucumber Peel Botanical Extract in the Japanese Peppermint Cucumber Mist is great for cooling and refreshing your skin on hot festival days. Every lip bomb is infused with Grapeseed Carrier Oil which will deliver intense moisture to dry lips in the winter.

Let's take a deeper look into the ingredients behind these fantastic products so you can make the best decisions for you and your skin!

 

 

Bar Soap

Every bar of soap in Yummy Me’s product range includes five different types of oil. Palm oil is used to create a hard bar that resists melting and has a stable lather. It is rich in Vitamin E and magnesium. Coconut oil helps keep your skin feeling soft and smooth after washing. As it absorbs quickly into the skin, coconut oil is a great moisturizer for dry skin types. Sweet Almond oil is used to help balance the absorption of moisture and water loss. Like coconut oil, sweet almond oil absorbs quickly into the skin to maintain moisture. When olive oil is used in soap making it creates a hard, long-lasting soap bar with a gentle cleansing lather, suitable for all skin types. A soap bar with olive oil will also help to condition and soften your skin. The creamy, bubbly lather that you get when washing your hands with a Yummy Me soap bar is from the addition of avocado oil. The natural moisturizer shea butter is used to leave a smooth and satiny finish to the skin. It provides Vitamins A and E, and has demonstrated anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.

 

 

Lip Bomb

Yummy Me’s lip bombs could also be referred to as moisture bombs with the amount of moisturizing ingredients packed into each tube! Mango butter helps to strengthen your skin’s natural protective barrier, which helps to prevent your skin from drying out or being damaged and retains moisture. Grapeseed Carrier oil absorbs easily into the skin and leaves intense moisture behind without irritating skin, leaving an oily residue or clogging pores. Jojoba oil is also used as a moisturizing agent for dry lips. Castor oil helps all the ingredients in promoting hydration. Beeswax is added as a gentle natural exfoliant to keep your lips feeling soft and smooth.

 

 

Japanese Peppermint Cucumber Mist

The Japanese Peppermint Cucumber Mist is not only a great cooling mist on a hot day, but it also decreases skin irritation and inflammation due to its addition of jojoba oil and peppermint essential oil. Aloe vera is full of folic acid, chromium, potassium and other compounds that are beneficial to skin and overall good health. The juice when applied topically to the skin can also help with chronic conditions such as dermatitis, psoriasis and eczema. It’s an excellent source of Vitamin C, which helps skin regenerate naturally. The Vitamin C protects your skin by reducing damage from sun exposure and air pollution. It also stimulates collagen and elastin production, keeping your skin looking full and youthful for a long time.

 

 

Dry Body Oil - Lavender Cedarwood

Good for dry, cracked or rough skin the Lavender Cedarwood Dry Body Oil will hydrate, nourish, and revitalize your skin back to life with apricot kernel oil. Using olive squalane as a moisturizing agent, it penetrates the skin quickly to offer moisture, enhanced elasticity and resilience. Olive squalane helps in minimizing cracks formed by extreme dryness, making it ideal for use on not only the face but also the cuticles, heels, elbows, and knees. When used on the skin, sacha inchi botanical extract protects skin from the effects of sun exposure, regulates oil production, maintains elasticity, and soothes and prevents inflammation. The extract also promotes soft, smooth, and supple skin, hydrates without clogging pores, and is gentle enough to use on all skin types. Oat oil is used for its soothing properties to provide moisture, without skin irritation or sensitivity.

 

 

Salvay

Like their lip bombs, the Salvay is full of moisturizing ingredients like grapeseed carrier oil, jojoba oil, and beeswax. With Vitamin E added, the body balm protects against all the pollutants in the air when living in a city. In shop you’ll find the travel friendly size, that is perfect to take with you on the go for whenever you may need it.
