It’s easy to assume for a skin care product to work, it needs to get sudsy, be a heavy cream, or sting a bit. Organic skin care, such as Melvita, bucks this notion without synthetics that create those reactions.

Melvita – a French organic skin care line – created a moisturizer that is a serum rather than a traditional lotion called Melvita Orange Blossom Extraordinary Water ($25, 3.38 oz.). Melvita was founded by a beekeeper almost 30 years ago with an emphasis on the highest standard of formulations. The Orange Blossom Extraordinary Water is 99% natural and 42% organic with ingredients such as neroli, orange blossom, fig, and hyaluronic acid.

To consolidate my skin care regimen, I used Melvita as both an after shave and moisturizer. The non greasy serum instantly soothed and hydrated my skin with a light citrus aroma. After a few days of use, the texture of my skin softened to a silky feeling. It also made makeup look flawless.

Melvita Orange Blossom Extraordinary Water is certainly extraordinary as a healing moisturizer with many other uses. It can be used as a primer, a moisturizer, a toner, and an after shave treatment. It even comes in other aromas such as rose and narcissus.
