Mukama Botanica High Vibe Face Mist Review
A note from the founder of Mukama Botanica,
I created Mukama Botanica out of love, necessity and personal desire. With health, beauty and the environment standing as my top values, I constantly felt like I had to choose - leaving me feeling empty, selfish or guilty. Disheartened by the lack of honesty in self-proclaimed “clean products,” the pollution from packaging waste, and a desperation for something that could heal the damage from my dermatillomania, I decided to put my background in the beauty industry to work. I combined my expertise with my career as a reiki master with the magic from my studies in Hawaiian healing and my upbringing in the Maui jungle to bring us Mukama Botanica: the highest vibrational skincare products I could fathom.
With organic ingredients so clean you could drink them (though not recommended), suppliers so cruelty-free that we’re vegan and Leaping Bunny Certified and crafting so ethical that we’re 100% handmade one-by-one in the USA and then packaged and shipped in recycled packaging - you can feel good about your beauty purchases. Not to mention, the oils are so pure that they can both vibrationally and aroma-therapeutically raise your vibe.
With us, self-care is selfless.
Love, Kama

Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliating Black Rice Ampoule & Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliating White Rice Ampoule Review
Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliating White Rice Ampoule ($26.00 for 2.7 oz. from Amazon and Ulta): This gentle exfoliant uses rice bran water with with AHA/BHA/PHA and Niacinamide to remove dead skin cells and nourish the skin. What is remarkable is that it is able to simultaneously exfoliate and hydrate the skin, and it leaves my skin quite soft and smooth. It did not cause my skin to be reactive, dried out, or stripped. As with all exfoliating products, it is a good idea to do a patch test first to see how your skin reacts. In terms of aftercare, it is imperative to use a high SPF sunscreen whenever you exfoliate the skin to keep it protected.
According to Dr. Melaxin,
Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Rice Toner brightens and nourishes skin with over 90% nutrient-rich Rice Bran Water and Rice Amino Acids. It smooths texture, boosts radiance, and locks in moisture with Ceramide, leaving skin hydrated, firm, and glowing with the natural power of rice fermentation.
Directions: After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount to dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip area. Gently massage to help lift dead skin cells, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use 1–2 times per week based on skin tolerance.
Key Ingredients: White Rice + Penta-Rice + Niacinamide Blend – Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliating White Rice Ampoule blends rice bran water, PENTA-RICE (rice water + Pentavitin), and niacinamide to exfoliate gently, hydrate, and boost radiance for smoother, healthier-looking skin. Ingredients: See box below.Overall Assessment: I find both formulas quite effective, but for my skin the Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliating White Rice Ampoule is perfect for my skin since it exfoliates dead skin cells and leaves it hydrated.Press Sample (Affiliate Links).

Surface All In Leave-In Conditioner Review
Having naturally curly hair, that leans on the slightly drier side, means that I rely upon leave in conditioners or treatments to keep my hair happy and manageable. Surface All In Leave-In Conditioner works perfectly for my hair because it leaves it soft, moisturized, manageable, detangled and frizz-free. It also revives my curls and offers it a light shine. I should note that it has the most delectable aroma that defies a precise description, but it is sweet and comforting.
According to Surface,
Instantly detangles, conditions, strengthens, moisturizes, repairs, adds shine, soothes, color protects, heat protects, controls frizz, eliminates static, and prevents breakage—all the benefits your hair could want in one spray.
Directions: Use your favorite shampoo to wash hair. Mist into damp hair prior to detangling, starting from roots and combing to ends. Leave in for all-day conditioning and strengthening. All In Leave-In Conditioner may be used alone or added to your haircare regimen for additional multitasking and antioxidant benefits.
Overall Assessment: As someone who always uses leave-in conditioners to keep my naturally curly locks happy, this one works perfectly.$36.00 for 6 oz. from Surface and Amazon (Affiliate Links). Press Sample. All views expressed are categorically my own.
