I love supporting local small businesses and was recently introduced to聽IQ Natural. IQ Natural is an organic skincare company based out of Portland, Oregon. They sell natural skincare and mineral makeup products. The company has been around for 14 years and is ran by a team of 5. IQ Natural products use the purest ingredients (no chemical or fillers), and are never tested on animals. Most of the products are made in-house.
IQ Natural Clarifying Daily Care Set
I received the聽Clarifying Daily Care Set. This set includes a cleanser, toner, and lotion. The trio is formulated for acne聽and blemished skin, clearing blackheads and preventing breakouts. The cleaner is gentle on the skin and won’t dry it out. The toner is soothing and balances out the natural oils in your skin. The lotion is hydrating but does leave a shiny finish. I prefer matte.
I’ve been using these products for under a week and I can already tell the聽difference. My skin is clear and visibly rejuvenated. The only thing I didn’t like is the smell, which is chemical-like (to my nose). This is probably due to the natural ingredients.
IQ Natural Super Facial
I also received the聽Super Facial. This mask is like nothing I’ve used before. It simultaneously tightens, brightens, tones, and exfoliates. Ingredients include mud and seaweed. I could do without the smell, but the end results聽were聽glowy,聽fresh-faced skin. This mask might be too much for someone with sensitive skin. It left mine feeling a bit tingly.
IQ Natural Makeup
I really want to try their makeup next. So many gorgeous options. I am a big fan of finishing powders and I love聽Tarte’s Amazonian powder and Pixi’s Quick Fix聽powder. IQ Natural has a聽Setting Veil聽that I want to try. I might need to do a blog post comparing all three. I’m also adding聽this mascara聽and these聽lip glosses聽to my wish list.
*IQ Natural聽provided me with these products, but all opinions are my own.
