DRUNK ELEPHANT IS OUR BRAND OF THE MONTH

Just when you thought your beauty shelfie couldn’t get any more Instagrammable… enter Drunk Elephant. This stellar skin care brand has taken the industry by storm with its playful, candy-coloured packaging, quirky names and cute elephant logo. But these formulations don’t just look the part, they deliver some seriously impressive and *ground-shaking* results too. 

A QUICK HISTORY OF DRUNK ELEPHANT

Before she started Drunk Elephant, founder Tiffany Masterson had a plethora of skin care woes. Frustrated with the lack of products for her combination, blemish-prone complexion (with mild rosacea and enlarged pores), she decided to educate herself on ingredients and found the industry’s most effective actives – both synthetic and natural – that help skin function at its healthiest. And voilá — Drunk Elephant was born. 

Wanting to formulate products without filler ingredients, the brand adopted an ingredient-elimination philosophy they call the ‘Suspicious Six’... We’re talking no essential oils, drying alcohols, silicones, SLS, fragrances/dyes and chemical sunscreens. Tiffany believes that by eliminating these ingredients, it allows the skin to ‘reset’ and return to its healthiest, most balanced state. 

Another shout-worthy fact about the brand? All its serums, moisturisers and oils (AKA all its skin care staples) can be mixed and matched to create a unique smoothie tailored to your complexion's needs. That’s right; mix a few drops of each of your chosen formulas together in your palm, then massage them into your skin. Don’t go too crazy though! We’d recommend two serums maximum, a moisturiser and oil.

The light-reflecting pigments revive the look of dull skin, leading the skin to appear ethereal with a lit from within glow, sans glitter. Trust us: this is a highlighter with a difference (and worth your attention).
