Meet Herbar, the Brand That Marries Skincare and Wellness Through Mushrooms

Beauty and wellness are synonymous. As a beauty editor, I always exclaim, "skincare is health care," Now, founders Catarina Oliveira and Rui Liu are proving that adage to be true with the soon-to-be-launch of Herbar.

The Berlin-based skincare line has been in the works for over two years and has an intense focus on mushrooms. As they pertain to beauty, mushrooms contain an antioxidant that can slow skin aging, fight inflammation and restore the balance and overall appearance of one's complexion. The brand's first product is based on the founders' fascination with Eastern medicine and fungi's distinctive properties. Herbar's Adaptogenic Face Oil is packed with potent extracts that soothe, enhance and fortify the skin with OG's such as Rosehip and Hemp seed. If you're unfamiliar, adaptogens are non-toxic plant extracts that aid stressed skin. Studies have shown the benefits of using the popular ingredients in topical skincare.

Herbar's Adaptogenic Face Oil retails for around $44 USD and is available for pre-order to ship in October. Visit the brand's website to stay tuned for all exciting and informative updates.
