World of Wonder
From sea to sea and across the lush landscapes that cover each continent, the world has so much to offer. 5 | The Wanderlust Issue
THE WORLD IS FULL OF RICH EXPERIENCES. Each region is unique and offers something extraordinary, whether it’s a one-of-a-kind ingredient, a groundbreaking innovation or a traditional ritual. Let’s explore what defines skin care in different parts of the planet.
NORTH AMERICA North America is the only continent where you can experience all climate zones, including tropical, arid, temperate, continental and polar.
Éminence Organics products were used on the set of seasons 2 and 3 of The Bear, filmed in Chicago, USA. Emmy Award-winning star Jeremy Allen White loves our Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream!
Characterized by bright pink or yellow fruit, the oil from prickly pear seeds enhances moisture retention for plump, hydrated skin. Found in our Daily Defense Tinted SPF 50+, the prickly pear cactus grows worldwide but originally hails from Mexico, the US and the Caribbean.
Named for the Caribbean Island nation, the skin-brightening, vitamin and polyphenol-rich Barbados cherry (also called acerola) naturally grows in Puerto Rico, Haiti and the Andes Mountains in the south.
Featuring Barbados cherry, this 2-in-1 cleanser targets dullness with enzymes for gentle exfoliation.

SOUTH AMERICA Known for its high level of biodiversity, South America is home to the Amazon, the world’s largest river, and the Atacama Desert, the driest place on earth. The acai berry hails from eastern Amazonia, a region that includes Brazil, Peru and Colombia. It’s loved as a health food for its vitamin and antioxidant content, which is also what makes it a phenomenal ingredient for leaving the skin looking toned and radiant.
Abundant along the Chilean coast, rosehip and its oil have been used historically by the Mapuche people in everything from jams to traditional massage rituals.
Traditionally, Peruvians have relied on quinoa for skin and hair care, using its saponin-content as a natural cleansing agent.
Did you know that Europe has a long history of spa culture, dating back to the Roman Empire? Hungary, where Éminence Organics was founded, is renowned for its traditional baths!

Herbal and fragrant, rosemary’s origins can be traced to the shores of the Mediterranean. Long used as a symbol of the memory and the mind, rosemary is full of carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, to support healthylooking skin.
Hungarian massage, a unique practice that combines deep pressure and rigorous strokes to reawaken a tired complexion, has rejuvenated skin for generations.
Éminence Organics’ Daily Defense Tinted SPF 50+ includes rosemary extract to minimize visible photodamage.
AFRICA We have Africa to thank for the existence of skin care. Evidence suggests that ancient Egyptians began using moringa, sesame, olive and castor oils along with clay, frankincense, sea salt and rose water on their skin over 6,000 years ago, giving birth to skin care as we know it.

Derived from the kernels of the marula tree’s fruit, this oil is loved for hydrating hair and skin without excess grease. The marula tree can be found from the western edge of the Sahara Desert to Madagascar, an island nation off eastern Africa. The marula oil in our Camellia Glow Solid Face Oil provides non-greasy moisture, suitable for normal to dry skin types.

The largest and most populated continent, Asia is also home to the most UNESCO World Heritage sites (a whopping 268!).
Shot on location in Thailand, makeup artists on the set of The White Lotus season 3 used Éminence Organics products to get their star-studded cast prepped for the camera.
You may have encountered vibrant turmeric in some of your favorite dishes, but you may not know that this spice has been used for thousands of years as a beauty treatment in India. Turmeric’s active skin care ingredient, curcumin, visibly inhibits the formation of dark spots to leave skin bright and clear.
This powder-to-foam formula invigorates skin with turmeric and citrine gemstones!
...AND EVERYWHERE in BETWEEN DID YOU KNOW that even
though the ocean covers 71% of the planet, humans have only explored 5 % of these waters?
Our planet’s stunning oceans offer a host of skinenhancing ingredients. One example? Marine flower, referring to a blend of bluegreen, red and brown algae, smooths wrinkles while hydrating and plumping the complexion.
OCEANIA While Australia is the largest landmass in Oceania, did you know this region is home to 14 stunning island countries and over 10,000 islands?
The nut of the macadamia tree, a hardy plant indigenous to Australia, is prized for its oil, which has nourishing, moisturizing and skin-softening properties.

y t u a Be BEYOND BORDERS
Before a beauty trend takes off, it’s shaped by the people, the culture and the place where it originates. Let’s take a look at what’s trending around the world to see what’s next for all of us.
1
The Skinification of Beauty
From shampoos to nail treatments and makeup, the “skinification” of beauty products is on the rise. This refers to the inclusion of skin care ingredients in all forms of beauty treatments to target the parts of skin we often neglect, like the scalp and hard-to-reach areas. Featuring scientifically-backed ingredients, like retinol and retinol alternatives, rosemary oil, vitamin C, niacinamide, and salicylic acid, this trend is taking off in North America and Southeast Asian cities like Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. YOU MIGHT LIKE: • Charcoal Exfoliating Gel Cleanser • Rosehip Triple C+E Firming Oil • Kombucha Microbiome Leave-On Masque
Pro Tip
Skin care doesn’t have to be restricted to the face. Try masques on your neck and chest, a clarifying cleanser on your back or use a drop of your favorite facial oil on the back of your hands and cuticles.

Moisture Barrier Health
Excellent news, minimalists: when it comes to your moisture barrier, less is (oftentimes) more. The moisture barrier refers to your skin’s outer layer, made up of protective skin cells and hydrating lipids. Crucial for your skin’s overall health, the moisture barrier is the skin’s first line of defense against the elements. North American skin care experts recommend focusing on hydration to mitigate damage and to keep this layer of the skin in tip-top shape. Reach for products with ingredients like snow mushroom, polyglutamic acid, jojoba oil and ceramides. Formulas with milky or balm textures are another excellent option for hydration.
One skin care ingredient that can negatively affect the moisture barrier:
Retinol.
But fear not! You can still reap the benefits of this superstar ingredient without compromise. Bakuchiol, which is derived from the babchi plant native to India, is a gentle retinol alternative that smooths fine lines and wrinkles without downtime, purging or irritation.

A Sun Care Wardrobe
Sun care, including sunscreen, after-sun treatments and sunless tanners, are still generating buzz. Aussies have coined a novel name for an ingenious approach to protecting their skin. A “sun care wardrobe” refers to an arsenal of products that protect your face, body and hairline from UVA and UVB rays. Your wardrobe can also include various textures, like gel, cream or powder, that can be swapped in and out to match your preference in the moment. Given that this trend protects your skin and overall health, we hope this one is here to stay. YOU MIGHT LIKE: • Radiant Protection SPF Fluid SPF 30 • Rosehip & Lemongrass Lip Balm SPF 15 • Lilikoi Mineral Defense Sport Sunscreen SPF 30
Pro Tip
Applying sunscreen in the morning is great, but be sure to reapply throughout the day too. Powders, like our Sun Defense Minerals, and setting sprays made with SPF make reapplication easy.
The 2024 Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Award-winning Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer is made with retinol alternative ingredients.
Psst...I’m made with retinol alternative bakuchiol too!

TEAMS UP WITH I.CARE To Save Our Oceans, One Reef at a Time Often referred to as the “rainforests of the sea”, coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems on earth and they play a vital role in mitigating the effects of climate change. As part of our commitment to rehabilitating ecosystems on land and undersea, we’re supporting the non-profit I.CARE to ensure coral reefs get the help they desperately need.
WHY IS CORAL IMPORTANT? Over 1 million fish, mollusks and sea turtles live in coral reefs — that’s roughly 25% of all marine life!
1 billion people rely on reefs for food, jobs and protection from the elements.
THE CHALLENGE
A REEF IN PERIL
Coral contains specialized zooxanthellae cells that take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
A HEALTHY REEF
Pollution, overfishing, disease and rising water temperatures leave coral vulnerable to deadly bleaching. Since the 1950s, our planet has lost half of its coral reefs, and there has been a 63% drop in biodiversity.
THE SOLUTION I.CARE is turning the tide for a brighter tomorrow.
They team up with recreational scuba divers to transplant coral onto dead reefs, reviving the ecosystem.
I.CARE grows resilient, temperature-resistant coral in nurseries.

To date, more than
10,000 CORALS have been planted – thanks to I.CARE!

Nourishing Mind, Body & Soul There is never a good time for bad news; especially when facing a serious diagnosis. With the Éminence Kids Foundation, we seek to make things a little easier.

Our goal is to help support kids as they heal and to inspire them to make healthy choices for life. A portion of the proceeds from every Éminence Organics product sold goes toward supporting this mission.
