Kombucha for Your Face

August 4, 2010  10:20 am

The first time I drank kombucha, I was pretty grossed out. The palate-jarring taste, the almost acidic smell, and don’t forget those random little chunks of fermentation floating around on the surface. But much like so many other things in life that I found initially unappealing—bras, bikini waxes, boys—I soon grew to love the odd-scented tea that boosts my energy and curbs my inevitable late-afternoon sugar cravings. So when I heard that kombucha would be taking center stage in emerginC’s new natural skincare line Scientific Organics, I was intrigued. After all, this is the brand that did amazing things for vitamin C (the emerginC Vitamin C Serum has been a wildly popular best seller since its 1996 release). And I’m happy to report that they’ve achieved similar amazingness with my beloved kombucha. The fermented tea happens to boast a lengthy list of skincare benefits: It’s a natural sun protector, skin-tone refiner, hydrator, and fine-line fighter; it features antibacterial and antioxidant properties; and it’s soothing for conditions like rosacea and eczema, to boot. It’s present in each of the five new Scientific Organics
products—our favorites being the gentle gel Kombucha Cleanser and the Phytocell Detox mask, which also uses grape stem cells, algae, and green clay. Definitely nothing here to be grossed out about.

emerginC Scientific Organics is available at www.emerginc.com.
