So y’all know, I’m not the one adding “because yuck” nor “…and kindness”. That’s on Beekman. …🤔. But now that I think about it. I wonder what portion of the population has a kindness allergy? 😳 Lol have a great rest of your week all!
One of them is an MD (I remember seeing them on HSN years ago). They seem very sincere and genuine. They claim to have just 150 goats, but Im not sure this us enough to provide their thousands of orders?! They used to have a Cam outside the Nursery Barn that you could watch online. Cute!!
Alice, for the last couple of weeks, every time someone mentions deodorant, I have to tell them that I learned from Dr. Dray that I can use an acne cleanser with benzoyl peroxide to wash my underarms in the shower, and it kills the bacteria that causes the stink. I mean, this works so well, I've even stopped wearing deodorant and I can go 24 hours or more with no armpit odor. I hope this was a helpful tip!
And glycolic acid too! My problem is that I sweat though. I can neutralize the smell, but I can’t stop the sweat without sweat-blocking ingredients. I wonder if it’s due to living in not just a hot climate, but a high humidity climate as well?
In another video dr Dray mentioned that she removed her underarms hair permanently. I do use braun silk epil epilator underarms and it’s a game changer. I don’t need use any deodorants. So, no hair follicles- no smell. Simple Sol de Janeiro body cream with aha is enough for me.
Dr Dray also did a video on the deodorants with aluminum & has said studies show Aluminum is NOT harmful to use. At 60, I LOVE my Secret Powder Fresh Antiperspirant. Because I need it. ❤
Great, informative review. You might remember my first impression of that spf was that I HATED it. I did rehab it a little bit--if I shake it A LOT and use a measuring spoon. Because I overcompensated for the inability to measure a finger-length and used too much the first time, and WHOA, awful. And yes it was messy! It splashed into the measuring spoon! 🤣🤣🤣 But there's still a white cast. BUT: one of the minis I took on vacay in June was the Beekman 1802 cleansing balm and I really liked it!
Ok so the spoon method is a good idea!? I’ll try it. I really don’t want to waste it (but whew I was struggling to enjoy it LOL!) Awwww I ALMOST bought the cleansing balm! Good to know it’s a hit 🥰
Omg 😅 now that you mention it! I was already wanting to try this brand alot, but now you just made me HAVE to. lol 😂 Have a great day...and remember, we don't skate through life. We walk through life, in really nice shoes. 😘
@Jeanne Moran they made a line of products called Rose Apothecary and with, like, a special black and white font from the store on the show. My favorite was the body cream (previously named Heirloom Rose). One of their best scents. They're awesome with scent layering!
I received the unscented body cream mini and a huge bar soap (mermaid package - limited-edition?) as a gift, and was impressed with both. I used the body cream as an eye cream, and it was soothing and didn't break me out. The bar soap is still going strong at my kitchen sink. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to purchase from them, but goat milk seems to get along with my skin.
See tbh I really think this is a good brand for: Bodycare gifting. It does feel nice and lux and seems to get along with most peoples skin. I feel like they know this and really lean into the holiday gift sets too haha!
I love that you covered this! I was tempted to pick up some Beekman while shopping recently. It was the packaging and clever name. That’s it. I know that the formula is more important and that is probably why I did not pick it up. I know a little about goat milk, but have not seen a lot on skin benefits and data from studies. I know it’s a statement to own a goat and use goat products. I don’t know what it says, but I think I get this product from that perspective. Thanks for sacrificing comfort for style. Commitment. 👏
Colostrum seems to be an ingredient in every one of these products. I'd be interested to hear how they ethically get enough of that to include in everything since my understanding is it's produced in relatively limited quantities.
My guess is that it’s really not much per product. It’s kind of a bitter pill to swallow that most of our skincare products are 80%+ water (usually higher tbh) I found it so fascinating that Good Molecules received criticism for this. Their nothing to hide ingredients list actually discloses the percentage of water, and it upset people!! On the flip side, I also think it’s hard to conceptualize the impact very tiny amounts of ingredients can have on a product (ie retinoids: 0.1% adapalene has led to HUGE changes to my skin!) I still struggle with it, even though my research has been on microscopic organisms!! It’s deeply difficult to imagine!
Love Beekman1802! Haven’t tried the body care, too expensive for me because I soak up lotion so fast. But the skincare rocks! In my opinion the only kinda bad smell is the milk primer but I can get over it. Please try the milkshake toner, it’s amazing.
Great review! I agree about the bubble mask. It's a fun sensory experience but it doesn't really seem to do anything adversely or positively to my skin. The sunscreen doesn't seem like it's a great formula either. I use all of those products except for the sunscreen and really enjoy them. The body care is really wonderful. I use the bars of soap, hand/body washes, lip balms, hand creams, body lotions, cuticle oil & cream, and the essences that you mix with the Bloom Cream as well and I really love them. I started using the Pure bar of soap on my toddler and it leaves his skin so soft compared to the old baby washes we were using. The hand creams and lip balms are unlike any other I've tried because they really moisturize like no other. This winter I've been using their stick of butter or a hand cream and cuticle cream and lavender lip balm before bed and my troublesome nail beds and dry hands and lips have greatly improved. At first I didn't think the hand creams and body lotions would be so great because they seem to have a lighter consistency than products I'm used to but they absorb so well and really work for my skin. I don't think all of the products will work for everyone but I think they're worth the monetary investment and time for me. I also love the origin story of how the founders started this company and their collabs with shows like Schitt's Creek and Bridgerton are super cute.
Speaking of goat milk, there are a lot of companies that do goat milk products like Goat Milk Stuff that cost less money, contain fewer fragrances, etc. They don't have as many products as Beekman but there are always other options.
Goat milk stuff fragrance free bar soap is the bees knees. That's what I'm currently using on my face. The jump size fragrance free lotion stick has been awesome for my toddler with eczema spots. He doesn't like all over lotion but the sticks make it really easy to apply.
The only product of theirs I've tried is their Milk Shake facial mist because I wanted one that was kinda moisturizing on its own, and didn't need you to apply a layer of moisturizer on top to really lock in all its benefits. I like it, and may repurchase it, but it wasn't a slam dunk for me. Would love to know your opinion on it (if it's not in this vid!) if you ever try it out.
Great overview and video! 💜💜💜overall I really like this brand but the smell of the cleanser is really offputting for me, smells like a household cleaning product to me
I'm not even vegan but I feel like the owners of this company might be slightly dishonest about how they treat ALL of their animals. I saw them on a shopping channel spot and they had cute little female and male baby goats ( kids?) . They explained how they feed their goats grass and pamper them ect. In the dairy industry the male babies are disposable so unless there is a huge herd of male goats living out their happy lives something doesn't add up. Does anyone know?
Hmm I certainly hope they take care of them! I would have to look into it more to really know, but I noticed as well that they present themselves as caring for their goats (and I hope they do, goats are adorable haha!)
Supposedly they really love their animals take good care of them I have seen them on QVC with all their pics it looks like they live a good life I sure hope so being an animal activist and a vegetarian that would piss me off to no end.
I’ve only seen this brand randomly in stores, nothing has really caught my eye and I don’t think anything really is calling to me. Also I nearly spit out my seltzer when you had the thought to clean the soap from the shower, it made perfect sense to me 😂🥰
I got a bloom cream sample and really like it. I don't recall feeling any irritation after my retinoid...now trying to decide if I should spend 50 plus bucks for a full size 😬
I was so stoked to try this brand … did last year … tried the cleanser, the probiotic serum, and the bloom cream. All very lack luster and didn’t even finish any of the 3 … sadly was not a fan!
My only issues with silicone is if they use too much, it feels like my skin can't breathe and my upper lip starts sweating. Gross right? I love the Cosrx Snail Cream but if I put on too much in the morning especially during the summer, my skin feels like it is suffocating. I live in Palm Springs so we are ridiculously hot and dry. I still love the cream, but I tend to use it more at night time, or I am careful to only use a small amount in the daytime. Also, Americans tend to love lots of serums rather than toners and essences. Serums don't always play nice with some moisturizers and the silicone can contribute to pilling.
You’re so right - remember that period of time where the ordinary reigned the internet, and people were using 4-5 serums at a time? WOOOOF, the pilling!! I go heavier on the toners/essences these days, and add one serum. Way easier to deal with!
When you mentioned the sample sizes I was reminded of Babyface. Why does no one talk about Babyface? I really enjoyed a few of their products but realized I no longer use them because I don't hear about them ever. They have samples of everything and free shipping.
I have been wondering why they use sodium benzoate in their products that are all packed full of vitamin c ingredients and mixing vitamin c and sodium benzoate create benzene which causes cancer Thoughts anyone!?
Thank you for the heads up on the bloom cream clashing with retinol. i got the serum recently. i like it, think it'll be really good for winter/dryer months, and considered trying more of their products. might skip that cream since i already have a few and this one isnt gonna go well w my retinol routine. 😕
I was glad to find a review of Beekman 1802. I have used their pure soap throughout the pandemic and it has kept my hands soft. However, with sensitive, oily face skin and allergies to fragrance, I have only tried a few other products and was disappointed (the milk spf in particular.) I think those with dry skin really benefit from many of the products, but you spared me trying the bloom cream in my search for a moisturizer suitable for my face. The body creams are very rich. Not for me either. Agree about the hand wipes, and the owners are generous with donations to good causes (hurricane relief gifts) with their Kindness philosophy. Cute baby goats!
I only know I tried their bar soap & had to quit using it in my bath. The ring around the tub it leaves is heavy & greasy. I assume it’s from the milk fats in the soap? Anyway, it’s really a chore cleaning that thick greasy gunk off of the tub. Also makes me wonder if that could plug up your plumbing as well. 🤔
Oh, and I only used the body soaps (made great Christmas gifts) and felt good on my body (my face is Too Sensitive to even try!) Remember, it is soap based, which is processed w lye, right?
interesting glad some were good. FYI Elissas azalaic acid percentage is 15 percent. ever heard of Heirloom? I bought this amazing ingredient deck serum think it starts as Kombucha with a ton of other stuff and the Da alba mist.
I only tried their cleansing balm. It melts well but just so hard to rinse off. It becomes a layer of oil stuck on my face. I need another strong cleanser to remove the layer. Unlike some other cleansing balm, that I don’t feel I need the 2nd cleanser.
I noticed that one has very polarizing reviews as well! I guessed I wouldn’t like it as I don’t like that feeling either (it’s the same in the glow recipe & YTTP balms)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole That said, the Clinique one is a classic. It removes makeup etc and cleanses so well and doesn't dry out. It works 2 in 1 and I feel so comfortable just go ahead and use my serum and moisturizer. Even more pricy ones like Elemis needs some efforts to wash. But thanks a lot for sharing your review of the brand, I was quite interested in the Beekman for a while!
This product is the devil in sheep's clothing. It's packaged well, smells good, and appears it would be a great product, but if you are dairy sensitive in even the least, I highly advise to steer clear. Shortly after using this whipped body cream and their lavender whipped body cream each day for over week or so I started having horrible Gastroenteritis problems non-stop to the point I was ready to see a Doctor. Not knowing it was this product, I cut out coffee, all my vitamin supplements, certain foods but nothing was helping my digestive issues. Then I remembered that our skin is our biggest organ, and after taking a shower and applying this product all over my body, it was ingesting the goat milk topically every day, so I decided to stop using it to see what would happen. Almost immediately I felt better, my digestion improved 100% and I am absolutely convinced it is because of this product and the goat's milk that they use. Please beware of this product.
Does anyone know why magnesium sulfate is used in the moisturizer? And it's *so* high up! I don't get why. And I think that could be the source of the burn people notice from the moisturizer. Magnesium sulfate is the same as Epsom salts? But I have no idea what benefits or general effects it has for skin and haven't had much luck finding good info on it besides typical Epsom salt soaking benefits. I'm super sensitive to almost any kind of sulfate, which regularly causes my skin to burn so I wondered if it was the culprit for others.
It is unusual to see it, especially listed so high! I wonder if it’s there to help with the texture? silicone-free products do sometimes have ingredients that leave me scratching my head (although I admit my bias: I like silicones in my moisturizers!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole it didn't occur to me that it could possibly be used for texture, that's an interesting thought and good guess. Still, it does look distinctly patchy going on, so they may want to rethink their emollients. By the way, your lighting and filming set-up was great to show that texture, I was really impressed we were able to see that! It's so helpful to see :)
Also the sodium benzoate mixing with all the other ingredients that are supposed vitamin c ingredients and mixing those two the sodium benzoate and anything with vitamin c creates benzene a cancer causing ingredient
I love Beekman! Their products are very clean. I have SEVERAL products from them and each one was rated excellent on the Yuka app. Their Vitamin C serum is my favorite
I wasn't fond of the brand because of buying a lot of hand lotion one Christmas. It was the worse hand cream Ive ever used. It was very thin and kinda lame. I never trued anything else after that. 🤷♀️
I know what you mean about having to wash the soap before photographing it. And those bars of soap seem kinda naked, right? Right? Please tell me I'm not the only one who's felt a twinge on behalf of the poor nekky soap's modesty before shaking it off and going on with the shoot?? I TOLD you about the body stuff! I hope you try some of their body line again, maybe the scented ones. I only have a vague knowledge of what scents you like (mostly what I remember is what you've said you don't like) but lmk if you want and I can make recommendations!
YES!! You get it!! There’s something strange about holding up a bar of soap in a way that simply doesn’t exist for a body/face wash in a bottle 🥺 I have a very specific favorite smell, and my problem is buying that same scent over and over again. I own: Replica Beach Walk, Bobbi Brown Beach, Armani Sun, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, Tom Ford Soleil…🤦♀️ best part? I have realized I don’t actually like the beach (Anakin Skywalker is right: I don’t like sand). I think I like the idealized image of the beach 🤣
I still haven't bought the milk drops I really want the biphase toner too I heard that was amazing. I saw today those 2 girls that use to work with the nutrium women that coned everyone Beauty within I think their channel is called the one girl has oily ance prone skin and she bought the cleanser and loved it as an oily skin type and she also really loved the biphase toner but honestly she must have spent like 800$ or more at Ulta on skincare and put it all on her skin in like a week idk how anyone could do that it was quit a hall of stuff. I think she got the primer SPF to I think she said she really liked that too but idk her SPF likes really I remembered her talking about the one from PC she loved the popular one in the grey tube and the Murad c SPF one idk I'm picky about SPF and moisturizer so it wasn't really high on my list like the other 2 products I have tried the bodycare they have and like that my mom swears by the unscented moisturizer she has sensitive skin especially after cancer and the chemo and radiation even over a year out no cancer she still sensitive.
I like how I read that about Ulta and went, “ooh they earned a lot of points 👀” 🤣😂 I’ll have to watch that, I actually do have some time for video viewing this weekend - a rare moment that I’m so excited for!!
If it's too hot to be wearing the sweater, why are you wearing it? I saw these two guys on QVC. Totally unimpressed. The reviews are mixed. No way I'm spending my money on products with so many mixed reviews.
Sensitive nose me was too afraid to ever try this brand. I hate animal milks 🤢. So slimy! I can deal with snail slime but not milk slime. I’ve replayed the double entendre portion a few times and still can’t figure out what it is 😂 I blame it on my ESL upbringing. I’ll ask via IG…
Terrible joke, really just me griping about how expensive optometry is 😅 (also bc I’ve needed glasses/contacts since age 10 🤓 - so I’ve deeply felt the inflation here!!) Smart plan, the smell is a LOT. I say that as someone who drinks almond milk because I don’t like the smell of milk. I assume people who don’t mind drinking milk are just fine with the smell of these products though
I don't know what it is about this brand... but I'm 100% sure I don't want it. There's no reason for this that I can discern as the only samples I ever received (2 tiny ones) were affirmatively "fine". I thought it might be the goat milk angle since I don't like goat milk, but I'm not put off by that generally. I also considered the fact that it was more or less an "Ulta only" brand from what I've seen and even though I like Ulta I've never been all that impressed by a brand that doesn't overlap with some of the other stores I frequent, but I don't think that's it because I was semi-interested when I got a sample of the cleansing balm. I THINK it might be because what I want from a goat milk brand is not what I've seen from the samples, like I was thinking the cleansing balm might be creamy and nourishing but it felt a lot like the Clinique one. Anyway... saves me money as there are way too many options as is.
Ahhh I think it’s the “problem of fine”!! I suspect it’s that we live in a world of SO many options. Think about how many options there are for a hyaluronic acid serum, a vitamin c serum, a retinol product, a basic moisturizer…I truly think it’s thousands (each!) So it’s a problem of redundancy, and while I personally can excuse that to some extent with more affordable products, it’s harder as the price increases - to a point. I mean, think of that Barbara Sturm $300 hyaluronic acid serum. There’s nothing WRONG with the product, aside from that it’s also nothing special. It’s fine. But pricey. At $300, I’ll criticize the price. It’s harder to critique a boring $50 HA serum, and thus I end up struggling to describe what I don’t like about it. Haha I’m going off because yes - I heavily relate!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I think the price point combined with the "fine" is a good combination of points. I think the other side is I went through this wave of trying stuff when I got into skincare a few years ago, but the reality is that while I'm picky there are many times where if I've found a "perfect" fit at a good price I'm done looking. If I just liked trying new things I'd give this more of a shot maybe, but if I just get a feeling there's no "holy grail" to be found I get very little joy from trying something new just because.
It could be. The catch with pilling is that it’s possible for SUCH a huge number of reasons. Makes it nearly impossible to ever identify why it happens 😕
Not only does your voice low key annoy me but also I feel like you low key went into this with idea to hate. I am ultra sensitive and dry and I have never had an issue with this brand it’s actually the only thing that works for me
Oh goodness no, I don’t like having issues with my skin - I promise it’s not fun 😅 Skincare is very personal, so thank you for sharing your experience!
I do love all of their products. I have very sensitive skin and I never have a problem with Beekman. I find the serums, the jelly cleanser and the bloom cream very calming. I also use Josie Maran argan milk serum products and love that line, too.

I love the Beekman soaps. Plus the goats are cute. I haven't really done a lot of skincare. Did buy the Vitamin C.

Absolutely!! 👏👏
Thanks for sharing 😊

Bought some beekman stuff on a Celebrity cruise in August. Love the milkshake toner 👍👍👍
I got talked into that via this very comments section, and it’s SO NICE!! Glad I tried it 😃
Even in Chicago, I absolutely need that aluminum in my deodorant. The antiperspirant aspect is non-negotiable for me!😆
YUP. I have tried the natural deodorants…and that time has passed 🤣 I’m happy for those it works for but whew - no thanks for me personally LOL!
Natural deodorant is a farce. I can’t believe they are allowed to be called deodorant

I was so stoked to try this brand … did last year … tried the cleanser, the probiotic serum, and the bloom cream. All very lack luster and didn’t even finish any of the 3 … sadly was not a fan!
I feel like all of those have been SOOOO hyped. There’s definitely another side to them though 👀
Commenting during the intro…I loved the bloom cream. Loved it. But I got it on super sale so never circled back.
It’s so hard to pay full price after one of those mega deals 😅
My only issues with silicone is if they use too much, it feels like my skin can't breathe and my upper lip starts sweating. Gross right? I love the Cosrx Snail Cream but if I put on too much in the morning especially during the summer, my skin feels like it is suffocating. I live in Palm Springs so we are ridiculously hot and dry. I still love the cream, but I tend to use it more at night time, or I am careful to only use a small amount in the daytime. Also, Americans tend to love lots of serums rather than toners and essences. Serums don't always play nice with some moisturizers and the silicone can contribute to pilling.
You’re so right - remember that period of time where the ordinary reigned the internet, and people were using 4-5 serums at a time? WOOOOF, the pilling!!
I go heavier on the toners/essences these days, and add one serum. Way easier to deal with!
When you mentioned the sample sizes I was reminded of Babyface. Why does no one talk about Babyface? I really enjoyed a few of their products but realized I no longer use them because I don't hear about them ever. They have samples of everything and free shipping.
Ok so I was reading this thinking, “oh the drunk elephant mask?” 😳 - looked it up and had no idea this was a brand!
JUST was looking into this brand like 3 hours ago
Yeah it’s so funny - I really did not have a clue how popular they are!
I have been wondering why they use sodium benzoate in their products that are all packed full of vitamin c ingredients and mixing vitamin c and sodium benzoate create benzene which causes cancer
Thoughts anyone!?
Thank you for the heads up on the bloom cream clashing with retinol. i got the serum recently. i like it, think it'll be really good for winter/dryer months, and considered trying more of their products. might skip that cream since i already have a few and this one isnt gonna go well w my retinol routine. 😕
I was glad to find a review of Beekman 1802. I have used their pure soap throughout the pandemic and it has kept my hands soft. However, with sensitive, oily face skin and allergies to fragrance, I have only tried a few other products and was disappointed (the milk spf in particular.) I think those with dry skin really benefit from many of the products, but you spared me trying the bloom cream in my search for a moisturizer suitable for my face. The body creams are very rich. Not for me either. Agree about the hand wipes, and the owners are generous with donations to good causes (hurricane relief gifts) with their Kindness philosophy. Cute baby goats!
I only know I tried their bar soap & had to quit using it in my bath. The ring around the tub it leaves is heavy & greasy. I assume it’s from the milk fats in the soap? Anyway, it’s really a chore cleaning that thick greasy gunk off of the tub. Also makes me wonder if that could plug up your plumbing as well. 🤔
Oh, and I only used the body soaps (made great Christmas gifts) and felt good on my body (my face is Too Sensitive to even try!) Remember, it is soap based, which is processed w lye, right?
Yeah, I didn’t try the soap on my face either. Especially with my preference for gentle cleanser? Whew i would probably h a t e it lol!!
I've been using their facial bar soap as a hand soap! Didn't like it on my face, but love it on my hands!
interesting glad some were good. FYI Elissas azalaic acid percentage is 15 percent.
ever heard of Heirloom? I bought this amazing ingredient deck serum think it starts as Kombucha with a ton of other stuff and the Da alba mist.
I haven’t! Is it theheirloom dot co? That’s the company that popped up for me on a search
@@AliceintheRabbitHole not sure I was searching Amazon for kombucha serums and I found it. Read about it.
I only tried their cleansing balm. It melts well but just so hard to rinse off. It becomes a layer of oil stuck on my face. I need another strong cleanser to remove the layer. Unlike some other cleansing balm, that I don’t feel I need the 2nd cleanser.
I noticed that one has very polarizing reviews as well! I guessed I wouldn’t like it as I don’t like that feeling either (it’s the same in the glow recipe & YTTP balms)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole That said, the Clinique one is a classic. It removes makeup etc and cleanses so well and doesn't dry out. It works 2 in 1 and I feel so comfortable just go ahead and use my serum and moisturizer. Even more pricy ones like Elemis needs some efforts to wash. But thanks a lot for sharing your review of the brand, I was quite interested in the Beekman for a while!
I already own the bubble mask, now I'm scared to try it ☹️ I like most of their stuff that I've tried, the hand salve is fantastic
I’d say to patch test it! I did, and it was fine for me. But it seems that when it goes wrong for some people, it might…possibly…go really wrong?
This product is the devil in sheep's clothing. It's packaged well, smells good, and appears it would be a great product, but if you are dairy sensitive in even the least, I highly advise to steer clear. Shortly after using this whipped body cream and their lavender whipped body cream each day for over week or so I started having horrible Gastroenteritis problems non-stop to the point I was ready to see a Doctor. Not knowing it was this product, I cut out coffee, all my vitamin supplements, certain foods but nothing was helping my digestive issues. Then I remembered that our skin is our biggest organ, and after taking a shower and applying this product all over my body, it was ingesting the goat milk topically every day, so I decided to stop using it to see what would happen. Almost immediately I felt better, my digestion improved 100% and I am absolutely convinced it is because of this product and the goat's milk that they use. Please beware of this product.
LOL my mom likes those face wipes, I yelled at her 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I read the comfrey in these products are dangerous
Their wipes are great!
Does anyone know why magnesium sulfate is used in the moisturizer? And it's *so* high up! I don't get why. And I think that could be the source of the burn people notice from the moisturizer.
Magnesium sulfate is the same as Epsom salts? But I have no idea what benefits or general effects it has for skin and haven't had much luck finding good info on it besides typical Epsom salt soaking benefits. I'm super sensitive to almost any kind of sulfate, which regularly causes my skin to burn so I wondered if it was the culprit for others.
It is unusual to see it, especially listed so high! I wonder if it’s there to help with the texture? silicone-free products do sometimes have ingredients that leave me scratching my head (although I admit my bias: I like silicones in my moisturizers!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole it didn't occur to me that it could possibly be used for texture, that's an interesting thought and good guess. Still, it does look distinctly patchy going on, so they may want to rethink their emollients. By the way, your lighting and filming set-up was great to show that texture, I was really impressed we were able to see that! It's so helpful to see :)
Also the sodium benzoate mixing with all the other ingredients that are supposed vitamin c ingredients and mixing those two the sodium benzoate and anything with vitamin c creates benzene a cancer causing ingredient
Great video! 😊 thank you!
Thank you for your videos 💙💛❤💚💜
Hey 🥰 is there any chance that you will review the pyunkang yul black tea toner
It’s in my speed reviews ☺️ (will be in an empties eventually haha!)
Have you see the other products
Hello Alice, I had a mini tube of one of their moisturizers and I can't find it.
Aw I hate when that happens 😭
A video on deodorant 🙋🏻♀️🤞🏼🤞🏼
(I still haven’t found something that works 😣)
Glad you tried these products so I don't have to.
I love Beekman! Their products are very clean. I have SEVERAL products from them and each one was rated excellent on the Yuka app. Their Vitamin C serum is my favorite
I wasn't fond of the brand because of buying a lot of hand lotion one Christmas. It was the worse hand cream Ive ever used. It was very thin and kinda lame. I never trued anything else after that. 🤷♀️
I know what you mean about having to wash the soap before photographing it. And those bars of soap seem kinda naked, right? Right? Please tell me I'm not the only one who's felt a twinge on behalf of the poor nekky soap's modesty before shaking it off and going on with the shoot??
I TOLD you about the body stuff! I hope you try some of their body line again, maybe the scented ones. I only have a vague knowledge of what scents you like (mostly what I remember is what you've said you don't like) but lmk if you want and I can make recommendations!
YES!! You get it!! There’s something strange about holding up a bar of soap in a way that simply doesn’t exist for a body/face wash in a bottle 🥺
I have a very specific favorite smell, and my problem is buying that same scent over and over again. I own: Replica Beach Walk, Bobbi Brown Beach, Armani Sun, Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess, Tom Ford Soleil…🤦♀️ best part? I have realized I don’t actually like the beach (Anakin Skywalker is right: I don’t like sand). I think I like the idealized image of the beach 🤣
I've never seen you so frustrated by testing skincare before. Your like why. Why even do this to myself! 😆 🤣
Hahaha right, that sunscreen is a struggle! 😅
I still haven't bought the milk drops I really want the biphase toner too I heard that was amazing. I saw today those 2 girls that use to work with the nutrium women that coned everyone Beauty within I think their channel is called the one girl has oily ance prone skin and she bought the cleanser and loved it as an oily skin type and she also really loved the biphase toner but honestly she must have spent like 800$ or more at Ulta on skincare and put it all on her skin in like a week idk how anyone could do that it was quit a hall of stuff. I think she got the primer SPF to I think she said she really liked that too but idk her SPF likes really I remembered her talking about the one from PC she loved the popular one in the grey tube and the Murad c SPF one idk I'm picky about SPF and moisturizer so it wasn't really high on my list like the other 2 products I have tried the bodycare they have and like that my mom swears by the unscented moisturizer she has sensitive skin especially after cancer and the chemo and radiation even over a year out no cancer she still sensitive.
I like how I read that about Ulta and went, “ooh they earned a lot of points 👀” 🤣😂
I’ll have to watch that, I actually do have some time for video viewing this weekend - a rare moment that I’m so excited for!!
Totally NOPE! And putting kindness in the ingredients is creepy!
I’m not sure kindness is really part of the INCI standard? 🤔🤔 (truly though, I do wonder how that’s okay?)
The burning with that probiotic moisturizer is the reason I’ve avoided their entire lime. The gimmicky Instagram-worthy packaging is a turnoff.
If it's too hot to be wearing the sweater, why are you wearing it? I saw these two guys on QVC. Totally unimpressed. The reviews are mixed. No way I'm spending my money on products with so many mixed reviews.
Sensitive nose me was too afraid to ever try this brand. I hate animal milks 🤢. So slimy! I can deal with snail slime but not milk slime.
I’ve replayed the double entendre portion a few times and still can’t figure out what it is 😂 I blame it on my ESL upbringing. I’ll ask via IG…
Terrible joke, really just me griping about how expensive optometry is 😅 (also bc I’ve needed glasses/contacts since age 10 🤓 - so I’ve deeply felt the inflation here!!)
Smart plan, the smell is a LOT. I say that as someone who drinks almond milk because I don’t like the smell of milk. I assume people who don’t mind drinking milk are just fine with the smell of these products though
🤭 ‘A’ for the effort to the guys tho ☺️
Lol indeed!
I don't know what it is about this brand... but I'm 100% sure I don't want it. There's no reason for this that I can discern as the only samples I ever received (2 tiny ones) were affirmatively "fine". I thought it might be the goat milk angle since I don't like goat milk, but I'm not put off by that generally. I also considered the fact that it was more or less an "Ulta only" brand from what I've seen and even though I like Ulta I've never been all that impressed by a brand that doesn't overlap with some of the other stores I frequent, but I don't think that's it because I was semi-interested when I got a sample of the cleansing balm. I THINK it might be because what I want from a goat milk brand is not what I've seen from the samples, like I was thinking the cleansing balm might be creamy and nourishing but it felt a lot like the Clinique one. Anyway... saves me money as there are way too many options as is.
Ahhh I think it’s the “problem of fine”!! I suspect it’s that we live in a world of SO many options. Think about how many options there are for a hyaluronic acid serum, a vitamin c serum, a retinol product, a basic moisturizer…I truly think it’s thousands (each!)
So it’s a problem of redundancy, and while I personally can excuse that to some extent with more affordable products, it’s harder as the price increases - to a point. I mean, think of that Barbara Sturm $300 hyaluronic acid serum. There’s nothing WRONG with the product, aside from that it’s also nothing special. It’s fine. But pricey. At $300, I’ll criticize the price. It’s harder to critique a boring $50 HA serum, and thus I end up struggling to describe what I don’t like about it.
Haha I’m going off because yes - I heavily relate!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I think the price point combined with the "fine" is a good combination of points. I think the other side is I went through this wave of trying stuff when I got into skincare a few years ago, but the reality is that while I'm picky there are many times where if I've found a "perfect" fit at a good price I'm done looking. If I just liked trying new things I'd give this more of a shot maybe, but if I just get a feeling there's no "holy grail" to be found I get very little joy from trying something new just because.
Wrecked my skin too
It is very white. I prefer silicone. ❌️⭕️
Oh so THATS the reason my body care is pilling!!!!?
It could be. The catch with pilling is that it’s possible for SUCH a huge number of reasons. Makes it nearly impossible to ever identify why it happens 😕
Your skin looks oily 🤔
The bubble mask is the devil!!!
🐰
It was very helpful. Not for me. Have a wonderful week ❌️ ⭕️
Happy to help! You too 🥰
Hi..❌️⭕️
Not only does your voice low key annoy me but also I feel like you low key went into this with idea to hate. I am ultra sensitive and dry and I have never had an issue with this brand it’s actually the only thing that works for me
Oh goodness no, I don’t like having issues with my skin - I promise it’s not fun 😅
Skincare is very personal, so thank you for sharing your experience!
I do love all of their products. I have very sensitive skin and I never have a problem with Beekman. I find the serums, the jelly cleanser and the bloom cream very calming. I also use Josie Maran argan milk serum products and love that line, too.
