Casa Mencarelli – Sea Buckthorn Serum

‘Sole E Mare’ means sunshine and sea in Italian, and this is a perfect description for this product. It’s the colour of sunshine – a beautiful rich golden yellow.

I’m loving this stuff. It’s a serum, but it looks like a rich oil because of the gorgeous colour. Love how it makes my skin feel – it sinks in beautifully and makes the skin glow without looking greasy or oily. It is rich in antioxidants like Beta Carotene, vitamins E and essential fatty acids Omega 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, to help repair and regenerate damaged skin.

I also love the scent of it!
