The journey to create a successful company can be as arduous as scaling a Tibetan mountainside, but well worth the view from the top. Bruce McMullin founded Sibu in 2003 after series of events led him to Calcutta, India where he crossed paths with an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs. In passing, this expert mentioned a powerful holy fruit, the Sea Buckthorn berry.From there McMullin’s quest took him to new heights, figuratively and literally, as he journeyed to some of the most remote locations of the Himalayas to find the superior source of Sea Buckthorn that is the foundation for all Sibu products.
When I was younger, I used to look over my grandmother’s collection of makeup and beauty products with delight and relish in the fact that one day, I too could use all the items to “doll” up and enhance my features, just like she and my mother did. Just about all the women in my life wear makeup and it just seemed liked a rite of passage. But, the number one thing my grandmother told me that has stuck with me to this day is that one should always take great care of their skin. Your skin is your palette and even if you don’t wear makeup, it should be cared and maintained with great care. For some people, that’s as easy as wearing lotion, taking care in the sun, and drinking water. For others of us, our skin can be a battlefield and although we can win the daily battle, it’s an ongoing war to keep it clear, moisturized, and in balance.
That’s why I’m currently obsessed with Sibu Beauty’s Gyrating Serum with sea buckthorn. The serum is extremely light and non-oily, which makes it perfect for dry, oily, and all in-between skin types.
