What’s great about being the least kikay group among my friends is that I am looked at as a project. I also get concerned looks as in “neva please,magsuklay ka” or “neva di pa tapos ang araw dugyot ka na naman”. I’ve gotten so used to being dugyot at the end of the day that a friend coined the term “neva moment” for those times when your shirt get stained or your hair gets roughed up and the day has just begun. However, there is a benefit to being non-kikay and it’s being gifted with yummy stuff like the Skincare Discovery Set from Pangea Organics. The friend who gave me this is the most kikay and the most fair in our group. As in he was mistaken for Gretchen Barretto once. So I accepted the gift with a lot of excitement (yay!! kikinis na rin ako gaya ni Robby!) I would post a picture of Robby but googling Plinky Recto would give you the same results. As in ganun sya kaputi at kinis. He is a walking bond paper hahaha 😀 (Love you Rob!!)
The Skincare Discovery Kit came in this box:
Even the box is made from sustainable materials
The kit includes a cleanser, a scrub, a facial cream, a mask, a toner and a sampler of their eye cream. I was surprised! Complete ang line-up! From cleansing to moisturizing 😀
I’ve been using the products for a month now and I have yet to get a rash or a reaction from the products. The formulation is really gentle and it doesn’t leave the skin dry. Pangea Organics doesn’t use perfume to mask the though so you really get the smell of the ingredients when using them. The most surprising was the adzuki bean scrub and the green tea facial mask as these both really smelled like beans and green tea. It was a pleasant surprise actually and everytime I’d use the facial scrub, I’d be reminded of the red bean smoothie I love ordering from Serenitea haha 😛 My most favorite products in the set are the cleanser and the toner. Both are mild and just leaves your skin fresh and smooth. The toner also comes as a spray so a few spriztes on your skin is all you need.
Pangea Organics is proud of the fact that it doesn’t use petroleum-based ingredients, sulfates or detergents, synthetic preservatives, artificial colors or fragrances and GMOs. If you’re the type that’s very particular about the use of these ingredients, this line is definitely for you. The kit sells for Php2,150. It’s a bit steep I know but you do get all the products in the box and they will last you a long time since you need to use a little bit each time. Pangea Organics is available locally at:

September 16, 2016 at 9:28 amI also believe that Pangea products are good, but they are expensive! If you’re looking for botanical ingredients and reasonable price, I would really recommend looking at Made from Earth’s stuff. Specifically, in the way of face moisturizer, I enthusiastically recommend their Chamomile Eye Cream.
My degree is in biochemistry, and I feel VERY safe with these ingredients, aside from the phenoxyethanol. I know that for some people, that’s a deal-breaker. I’m not crazy about it, but I’ve decided to tolerate it.

January 17, 2012 at 8:58 amNice! And so near my in-laws house in White Plains. I have sensitive skin that’s super high-maintenance, and blemish prone skin pa. I’ll consult my dermatologist about this. Awesome review! Thanks for recommending.

January 16, 2012 at 5:08 pmIt’s been a while since I last used any skin care product on my face. I used to like experimenting on different brands all because I was one very curious momma. Low maintenance and sky-rocketing curiosity sound odd together, but the chaos that I am, anything is possible. Five months ago, I developed nasty rashes after I used a popular cream (exorbitantly priced) that I randomly picked from a store. After that I decided to go back to my rustic skin care regimen of which fresh ground coffee is my favorite ingredient. It’s the from-the-coffee-maker-straight-to-my face kind of thing that really works for me.
If Pangea Organics has eliminated components harmful to the skin, then I guess it’s going to be worth a try. Packaging looks yummy, too. Very nice review, by the way 🙂

January 17, 2012 at 11:12 amhi there 😀 you can read more about the products here: the formulation is also very gentle. my skin gets dry very easily and none of these products have done that to my skin 😀 you can buy the products individually (i just learned souq international is on sale now) so you can test what products would work.
thanks for dropping by the blog!
