https://www.thesummitvanuatu.com/…/…/facial-moisturiser-lime/ “I absolutely adore the Sandalwood Infused with Tahitian Lime facial moisturiser I bought from The Summit Vanuatu! Not only does it smell good, but it is so gentle on my skin! I suffer from rosacea so it’s really hard for me to find skin products that don’t flare my condition. Usually my skin burns red when I put a moisturiser on. But the opposite happened with The Summit Vanuatu’s facial moisturiser. It is actually soothing to my face. And My skin just absorbs it right up. It’s not oily at all. It has a great texture about it. It’s such a beautiful product that I would recommend. And it is 100% vegan and therefore cruelty free. I absolutely love that about it and of all The Summit Vanuatu range”

Janine’s Choice for December- Sandalwood infused with Ylang Ylang Moisturiser

Sandalwood infused with Ylang Ylang Moisturiser

Well it is almost the end of the year and we are all getting our skin ready for Summer! Summer skin needs to be well nourished from the inside and the outside! It also needs to be well protected so don’t forget your sunscreen! 

I have been using a fabulous moisturiser from one of my favourite, favourite Natural Skincare Companies…The Summit Vanuatu. I love everything about this moisturiser…it’s texture, fragrance, feel on my skin and most importantly…its effectiveness.

​Usually, there is something about a product that I can fault, be it price, fragrance, texture and feel or effectiveness. Not with this moisturiser. It ticks all my boxes for price, natural ingredients, fragrance, texture and feel, and effectiveness.

People have been asking me what I have been doing for my skin as my complexion looks clearer and healthier. I am pleased to tell them that the only new thing I have been doing  is using the Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang Moisturiser from The Summit Vanuatu!

There is a lot to love about this moisturiser- particularly the natural ingredients:

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Pure Sandalwood Water, Sandalwood Oil, Ylang Ylang Oil, Pure Tamanu Oil, Natural Vitamin E and Grapefruit seed extract.

And that’s it!

​Natural, Healthy, Not tested on animals, Pure and effective. 

This moisturiser is an all natural, daily antidote for tired, inflamed and sensitive skin. The Summit Vanuatu pride themselves on using only the purist quality ingredients of Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang oils (grown by them) which are anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Also the amazing Tamanu oil is a proven healing oil, which is also one of the most valued oils in the world for healing and rejuvenating skin. For more information on the benefits and properties of Tamanu Oil you may like to read my review. 

​I can definitely see a difference in my skin colour while using this moisturiser. I suffer from Rosacea and always have redness on my cheeks and décolletage…now my skin is even-toned and does not look so red. I would even go so far as to say that my brown pigmentation has also faded and is less noticeable! 

​Unlike many companies, The Summit Vanuatu stand firmly behind their products and offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with your purchase! 

If you love natural skincare that is effective and does not smell like artificial flowers or fragrance, and uses only pure natural ingredients that have research to back up their effectiveness, then you, like me, will love the products from The Summit Vanuatu.

Janine’s Choice for September- Sandalwood Facial Moisturiser infused with Ylang Ylang Each month  I like to bring to your attention a great product that I have personally tried, and think is well worth others trying. These products are becoming some of my all time favourites as they are natural, organic and are reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of their ingredients. I am particularly partial to two companies who consistently demonstrate their commitment  to the environment, use organic and natural ingredients, are vegan friendly and are not tested on animals. The first is an Australian Company Happy Organic Skincare and the other is The Summit Vanuatu. Both these companies, I believe, produce some of the best products I have ever tried and now regularly use. Products I am currently using and Love! Facial Moisturiser, sandalwood water, sandalwood powder mask and sandalwood spritzer. Love them! So it will be no surprise to you when I choose another gorgeous product from The Summit Vanuatu. This month my choice is aSandalwood Facial Moisturiser infused with Ylang Ylang.  I absolutely love this moisturiser! The fragrance is amazing, especially if you like the scent of Sandalwood and the fragrance of Ylang Ylang. This moisturiser is a no gimmick product…it doesn’t promise you that your wrinkles will disappear over night, or that in just 4 weeks you will look 10 years younger! What it does do is moisturise your skin beautifully with natural healing oils that are anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiseptic and intensely hydrating. This Facial Moisturiser with Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang has all you need in a moisturiser.  After cleansing I use Sandalwood Water instead of a toner, apply an organic oil or serum and then my Sandalwood Moisturiser. I like to use this moisturiser in the morning as it hydrates for the entire day.                                                                 Ingredients: There are no long chemical names that are impossible to pronounce in this list of ingredients:  Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Pure Sandalwood Water, Pure Sandalwood Oil, Pure Tamanu Oil, Pure Ylang Ylang Oil, Vegetable Derived Emulsifier, Natural Vitamin E and Grapefruit Seed Extract.  That’s it!  Natural and good for your skin! I have previously written about the benefits of Sandalwood Water and especially Sandalwood Oil, and the incredible healing nature of Tamanu Oil. I recommend that you read them so that you will then understand what a powerhouse of natural ingredients this moisturiser contains. This light and non-greasy moisturiser contains both these amazing oils in a base of Sandalwood water and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil.  Perfect! All products from The Summit Vanuatu are packaged in recycled materials as part of their commitment to sustainable farming and looking after the environment. Just browsing their website is inspiring!  Unlike many other cosmetic companies, The Summit Vanuatu offers you a money back guarantee. If you don’t like your product they will give you your money back… and they offer free shipping for all orders over $100!  The Summit Vanuatu  certainly stand behind their products and I can understand why…they are simply excellent products at a very reasonable price.  A generous 100g jar of Facial Moisturiser with Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang is only $19.95! and the 50g jar is only $12.95. In my opinion, that is an excellent price for a more than excellent product!  VISIT THE SUMMIT VANUATU

   Steve B. – May 24, 2015:

   I have always been sceptical of natural products, but whilst staying with friends I tried this product as an after shave moisturiser to replace my tube of artificial chemicals. And I love it! Also, I get the occasional basal cell carcinoma skin cancer on my face, which I have removed by surgery. What I have also found is that this cream seems to be clearing it up. It is early days yet but I am hopeful I will not need that operation.

   If your thinking of buying Tamanu Oil, do it. This Pure oil is the real deal, the best medicine I have ever used and has the most healing power of anything I have used..I had terrible psoriasis or that’s what the doctors said. Mostly on my legs and it got worse over the period of about ten years, I used chemicals, natural and pretty mush any old wives’tale I heard…nothing got to the stage where I just put nothing and it was like an open wound at times. If you’ve had anything like this I don’t have to explain the itch and inflamed and broken scabby…Its terrible and the embarrassment is even worse…It’s in your head but hate people seeing me looking like the living dead…I think if your suffering from a skin condition like this and the patches are kind of bigger than spots, I would recommend getting the soap as well and having a bath everyday..I did for almost every day for a few months now my skin has recovered so much I can do just showers now.

   Yes it is fantastic! We visited the summit in February this year and that’s where I bought my first bottle. I use it on my dermatitis on my fingers and get great results!
   I’m also starting to use it on my face – I’ll let you know how that goes
   Thanks again!

   I had my doubts about natural remedies but after using this Tamanu Oil for two months I’m completely sold on it’s benefits. This oil has had so many positive effects I’m not sure where to start. I have had zero zits since using it. It has decreased the size of my pours, nourished my dry ‘t-zone’ and literally solved my oily skin issue as well as reduced a sun spot and made my wrinkles go away. I used some on my 12 year old daughter who suffers from a skin condition that causes little bumps on the back of her arms and face. In two days, this Tamanu Oil did what creams and medicine couldn’t. Her face is totally clear and her arms are significantly better. This stuff really is a miracle oil

   Hi Lesley,

   I put the tamanu oil on first and then often my usual moisturiser over the top – sometimes just the tamanu on its own.

   I know some people don’t like to put oil on their face but I love it. Also some people don’t like the smell but I’d rather that earthy smell than some petroleum based product … or whatever…

   Im 50 now so a bit late – wish I’d started using it when I was 20. I use the analogy of a leaf that’s fallen off a tree in autumn – it dries and breaks up. Got to stay well hydrated to have good looking skin.

   I also use it on my hair – with a treatment – leave it on for half an hour or so. Beautiful !!!

   See… told you I love it !

   Have a nice afternoon,
   Susan

   This Tamanu oil is the closest thing I’ve ever found to a miracle skin healer. We are so lucky to have it available to us. I will never want to be without it. My acne prone skin responds really well to this. After cleansing, followed by toning with the Sandalwood hydrosol/or Lime Toner, I combine about four drops Tamanu oil and one drop Sandalwood oil to moisturize my face. I contribute this routine to my renewed complexion. Very happy with this product!

   This oil is the Panacea. I am incredibly blessed with skin that does not have major issues, but for me I use it on cuts and abrasions as a rapid healer. I am a gardener, so I often will use it on my hands when I finnish to make use of its antibacterial and healing properties.

   The products we have used so far have all been really good. Our favourite is the Salve It cream because it fixes just about every skin problem! We also really like the Coconut and Lime Moisturising Body and Bath Oil, which smells really nice and feels very good on the skin. We like the other products we have used too and we are looking forward to trying the new ones we have ordered (Online Shop). I really appreciate the care you take with your products and your customers! Thank you again for your excellent service and products.

   This stuff is the best! I finally got my hands on some about 8 months ago and have only used half of it since you need such a small amount. The best thing to put on sunburn (after your aloe)and I have found it stops you peeling and helps to sooth the burn. I have told lots of people about it and they are all now looking to try it too.

   I want to share with everyone my secret weapon Salve It! which I use for pretty much everything: as a daily face moisturiser, on any cuts, burns, overworked hands (gardening, washing, cooking… skin on my hands started to peel!). It really is magic, and made from all natural Vanuatu ingredients that smell divine. I have been using it for several years now and it beats every other cream, oil or natural remedy I tried in the past. Well done The Summit Vanuatu!

   This is definitely magic! Soothes and repairs my dry and cracked hands virtually overnight. Our whole family has been using this ointment for over 2 years, specially after a lot of washing up, gardening and on our ski trips. It literally saves our skin. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product, just reordered again online.

I. Our Sandalwood, Lime & Vanilla Moisturiser
Rebecca Jane Carless (verified owner) – July 7, 2015:
Oh my gosh I cannot believe that, 4 years after this amazing place opened, I am the first to review this product. I love this moisturizer, and it basically sells itself to anyone I show it to. Basically, smells like lime baked cheesecake. It is LOVELY! It is particularly good in hot weather, as it has a beautiful cooling feeling, that is also great in the humid tropics. I realize after using this how truly thirsty my skin is – so satisfying

This versatile beauty is a multi-tasking, super efficient, get the job done, no nonsense lotion which nourishes your skin from your face to your hands to your toes. Rich, emollient, softening and moisturising – this tantalizing all purpose lotion has it all.

II. Our Sandalwood, Cardamom & Mandarin Body Butter

Merran – October 11, 2014:
I’ve been using The Summit’s new Sandalwood Body Butter now for over a month and feel a real difference in the hydration of my skin. The scent is a refreshing mix of cardamom and mandarin, with a creamy texture that my skin just drinks up. It’s difficult to find a body moisturiser that is wearable in our humid tropical climate, but I think I’ve finally found the one. Definitely a staple in my bathroom, I love it!

Pamper yourself with a voluptuous whipped cream concoction of cocoa butter, nangai oil and sandalwood water. The velvety texture, pleasant fragrance and emollient properties of cocoa butter and nangai oil are joined by the antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits of sandalwood water. This means your skin will be so protected, nourished, supple and alive, but never greasy.

III. Sandalwood, Lime & Vanilla Body Butter 

Ginny – October 11, 2014:
I wanted to pass on some feedback on The Summit’s Canarium Nut Body Butter (Sandalwood, Lime and Vanilla). I have used it a couple of times now and absolutely love it – amazing texture and really lovely smell. Perfect moisturiser for slightly dry skin. I am a big fan of The Summit products!

Canarium indicum (known as Nangai in Vanuatu) is among the oldest and most important tree crops in Melanesia. Its oil contains healthy fatty acids which give it excellent emollient properties. We combine this with the antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory skin care benefits of Sandalwood Water to leave your skin with a refreshed, firm, healthy, hydrated and most of all, happy, feeling.

Buy Sandalwood, Lime & Vanilla Body Butter 

The Acne Be Gone range is the best treatment that I have ever used for my pimples. I have tried almost everything and nothing worked for me. After just using the soap, toner, and tamanu oil overnight, I noticed the next morning that the existing pimples have dried out. And not even a couple of weeks later, my face has started to clear up. No more breakouts. It feels so smooth and doesn’t look dull anymore. I’m so grateful for my friend Michelle from the Summit who introduced me to their wonderful products. They are highly recommended! Will definitely continue buying and might try the other product range.

Very happy customer,

Lynda

Many Feedback from Rebecca Bond’s family & friends! Australia

Hi Ladies, great to hear from you both and glad that all is well.

Comments re: the deodorant and products in general – feel free to use for website or just take as feedback

“Love the deodorant, it works well for me. Only negative is it is slightly too hard, could be a little softer” – Jill (Aunt)

“SUMMIT VANUATU, health & beauty products that help you reach your peak…naturally” Stephanie (sister)

“It’s a great deodorant…” – Katrina (friend)

“People tell me I stink a little less now. It’s good” – Matt (friend. I think he was being slightly silly)

“As others have said, it’s a great deodorant – i like the smell, it doesn’t irritate my underarms and it keeps me not stinky – but is hard to apply. I figure it’ll get easier when the weather is warmer, and having it in the shower is a good idea. I’ll sit it in the caddy when i get home tonight and see how it goes” – Debbie (Friend)

“i think i’m just finding the same thing as others with the hardness of the deodorant… i think it wouldn’t bother me that it’s hard if they had a little digging tool or something for it” – Kimmy (Best Friend) and mum was struggling a bit with the coconut oil moisturiser because of the hardness but the products themselves are beautiful

There you go, hope that helps. Also my mother Jennies feedback about the deodorant is she loves it and finds it even more effective than traditional deodorants, especially on the dreaded synthetics which usually get quite pongy.

My cousin Adrian and I both agree that we both feel that as it is not an anti-persperant that our whole body feels like it gets less hot and breathes better.

“what i’m finding is that because it smells so wonderful when you apply it, and is so gentle on your skin, it kind of makes cleaning your face and body more like something that i look forward to every day rather than just another activity to get through. All of the products feel and smell different so I’m always anticipating what the next soap or the next cream might be like” – Kimmy (Best friend)

i think the oil cleanser is my favourite – Kimmy – best friend

I have had a difficult time trying to choose which product I would feature for June.  So…back to my choice for June!I really could not decide which product to choose! I was torn between Sandalwood Water or the Sandalwood Body Butter, as I feel that both are superior, natural products.It was a difficult decision, but I finally settled onSandalwood Body Butter with Ylang Ylang, a rich, fresh and earthy butter for the entire body. I have not written a review of this product as yet…but it certainly deserves one! This body butter is light, yet rich and covers your body with a veil of moisturising oils and sandalwood. I love the feel of it on my skin. It is soothing and I love the earthy Ylang Ylang scent with the fragrance of the Sandalwood Water…smells wonderful!
