Beauty crush: Liha – the result of hard work

It goes without saying that nowadays consumers are much more mindful of the products they want to use. They want organic, natural products that aren’t pumped full of chemicals and alcohol, so fitting with this trend enter the Lila Beauty Brand. The Liha Beauty Brand is a result of the hard work of two friends Liha Okunniwa and Abi Oyepitan. The two beauty junkies like most beauty obsessed friends found themselves constantly brain storming and comparing beauty ideas, mainly revolving around natural ingredients and products they could find in their cupboards at home. After a great deal of experimentation and toying with a particular product they had been sending back and forth the Liha Beauty Brand was born. The risk clearly paid off as the products began receiving rave reviews from friends and other beauty fanatics.

The two stand out multipurpose products are as follows.

Ivory and Gold Shea

The ivory and gold shea is raw crafted shea butter, a divine indulgence for the skin. Shea is known for high content of fatty acids, which is perfect for replenishing tired and dull skin. The particular shea used in the Ivory and Gold isn’t processed therefore retaining all of the goodness such as Vitamin A and E and excluding any nasty chemicals. To find a shea that hasn’t been processed is a rarity in Europe, so the Liha Ivory and Gold Shea would be a welcome addition to any skincare buff’s beauty arsenal. It can be used as a lip balm and is a great natural alternative to petroleum. This product is 100% ethically sourced in Ghana and packaged in the UK. So it’s ethical and as well as rich in its skin benefits.

Idan Oil

The idan oil consists of cold pressed coconut oil fragranced with the rare tuberose. This gorgeous product contains a tuberose flower left to soak in coconut oil and infuses the oil with its potent benefits.  Similar to coconut oil the Idan oil remains solid at room temperature making it super convenient to store. So in order to use the oil simply allow the steam from your bath or shower to transform the substance to liquid before applying it. It’s a wonderful multipurpose product ideal for nails, hair, body and face. Another use for this product would be a deep conditioning mask to be left on and then rinsed off to reveal nourished and revitalised hair. With so many different uses the Idan Oil has the potential to become a must have beauty product especially due to its uniqueness and versatility.
