A brand formulated out of passion, combined with 12 years of research and 30 years of industry experience is one that you know will kick ass when it comes down to the final product, and this brand does not disappoint. 

Enter: Biologi 

Founder, Ross Macdougald has worked for large cosmetic giants and has developed over 300 products over his 30-year career, so it’s safe to say he knows a little thing or two about great skincare. 

Biologi was born out of Ross’ passion to deliver active plant extracts that could change the skin on a cellular level, and by bottling 100% active and safe ingredients he knew it will  “Dramatically change people’s skin, and thus, Biologi was born.” To that, Biologi is the first skincare brand in the world that has produced a product containing “Natural, stable, active vitamin C (not Ascorbic Acid) thanks to their revolutionary extraction system that keeps plant nutrients stable.” 

You may be wondering, what is 100% active skincare?  … Is our current skincare routine not active?

So of course, I had to ask.

What does 100% active skincare mean?

Active ingredients in skincare mean that ingredient “Actually has an effect on the skin.”

Ross continues to explain that “Typically brands will only include around 2% of active ingredients in their products and fill the rest up with water or filler ingredients.” 

I mean, I understand businesses need to make money and all, but are we all being cheated on here by paying top dollar for mainly water and fillers in our skincare? 

My curiosity has peaked, I had to ask why and to which, the answer is simple:

“They do this for economic reasons – it’s cheaper to fill out a product with water or other filler ingredients rather than active ingredients which typically cost more,” Ross explains. 

Now that we know this, let’s get straight to the point then, shall we? 

It all comes down to the notion of consumerism that more is better, and as Ross confirms, “The industry was being sold that ‘more is better’ and consumers were filling their bathroom cabinets with products that consisted mainly of water and filler ingredients.” 

Biologi’s 100% active skincare is created by extracting pure plant extracts without synthetic fillers or additives and they control the “Whole production process from plant to bottle,” containing only natural ingredients.

THE PRODUCT

Upon first using Biologi, I was surprised that everything I needed was beautifully bottled and harnessed into one pump.

I have mildly sensitive and slightly dry skin, so here is my personal routine:

Step 1: Cleanse and if I’m wearing makeup, then I’ll use a face cloth to remove

Step 2: In the AM, one pump of the Kakadu Plum Radiance Serum. In the PM, one pump of the Quandong Radiance Serum.

Step 3: In the morning I’ll follow on with sunscreen. At night, if my skin is feeling a little dry, then I’ll use Rosehip Oil in the evening

Step 4 (Twice a week): I’ll use a Lactic Acid serum for exfoliating in the evening instead of the Rosehip Oil. 

This new regime is so easy and simple to follow, I even got my dad onto it as an early Father’s Day Gift!

THE RESULT

A new simplified skincare regime is not what I thought would do my skin wonders, especially after labouring away at a minimum of a 5-8 step routine. Now that I don’t live in my bathroom amongst a plethora of essences, serums and moisturisers I can safely say that Biologi’s products work!

The Cleanser is not like anything you’ve ever used, it doesn’t foam up when you use it, it’s almost like cleansing with an oil, and to my surprise, you’re not left with skin feeling tight in the slightest.

A little goes a long way with The Radiance Serums, you only need one pump. The texture is really light, almost like water which was not easy for me to get use to as I love the feeling of really thick serums and oils. My skin does not like Vitamin C, the Ascorbic Acid kind, so I was really excited to know that the formula is 100% natural, extracted from the Kakadu Plum. After two weeks, I started to wake up to really bright skin!

However, for some when making the switch to 100% active ingredients, a purging process happens.
