AMLY Botanicals: Overview

I discovered AMLY Botanicals in a Boxwalla box last year and it was love at first spray. AMLY launched some new products last summer and I’ve been so bad posting about them. I already love their Beauty Sleep Face Mist which I spritz on at night. I just used a bottle up fully & would easily repurchase. I love the calming scent at night. I talked a little about it HERE. AMLY is a British holistic skincare line. They have a really nice minimal and modern aesthetic to their packaging which I completely adore. AMLY likes to combine natural ingredients with new generation plant bio-actives.

I decided to grab the Radiance Boost Face Mist which is the hydrating and reviving facial mist from the line. Details per AMLY:

A revitalising face mist containing silver-rich spring water blended with organic flowers, hedgerow fruit, native British herbs and exquisite essential oils. The deeply hydrating mist is strengthened with moisture-boosting Hyaluronic Acid, skin-perfecting Copper Peptides and nourishing plant Probiotics. The uplifting scent will leave your senses fully awakened and your skin enlivened.

Directions DUE TO THE HIGH CONCENTRATION OF ESSENTIAL OILS, SHAKE WELL BEFORE EACH USE. Close your eyes and spray liberally on to face and neck. Breathe deeply to allow the aromatic oils to envelop and stimulate the senses, then enjoy radiant-looking skin. Spritz regularly to feed your face nutrients throughout the day.

This mist has a super fine spray which is perfection. I love the black glass bottle and simple lettering design. This smells fairly light actually, mostly of orange and rose. This has rose, orange and chamomile with aloe and glycerin, lactobacillus (probiotic), pea peptide, hydrolysed hyaluronic acid & copper tri-peptide. The essential oils are neroli, rose, jasmine & chamomile which is probably why I love this so much. This has a plethora of botanical extracts but my favorites would be hibiscus, marshmallow & horsetail plus they included rose of jericho which is also resurrection plant. I completely adore this one for it’s hydrating benefits. I absolutely love this mist. It’s easily one of my all time favorites. AMLY makes stellar mists.

The Day Light Facial Oil is outstanding. Easily my favorite of these three. Details per AMLY:

Devoted to protecting skin elasticity and tonicity, this feather-light oil harnesses the mighty moisturising power and anti-oxidant-rich properties of Fireweed. Precious oils of Pomegranate, Prickly Pear and Buriti Fruit work alongside anti-ageing Ginger Root to rehydrate, tone and protect stem cells from daily sun exposure. This soothing oil absorbs quickly, deeply nourishing the epidermis and bestowing instant glow. Your complexion bathed in Day Light.

I forgot to get a texture shot so here’s the photo courtesy of the AMLY website:

This facial oil is one of the lightest I’ve ever come across. It’s not a dry oil texture it’s just phenomenally light. This has sunflower, abyssinian, prickly pear, buriti, meadowfoam, raspberry, and pomegranate oils. It’s also got fireweed and ginger root extract. Ginger is a powerful antioxidant while fireweed is new to me. It seems to be hydrating, antimicrobial and an antioxidant. This oil has essential oils of neroli, rose chamomile & jasmine. I love how light all of these make it smell plus they all have hydrating, soothing and glow giving benefits. The nourishing effect yet extreme lightweight texture is what makes this oil. If you don’t like facial oil you really should try this one. Twelve Beauty is the only other one to do something similar and both of these are in my top three all time favorite lightweight facial oils. This one is a great antioxidant facial oil. Really superb quality.

I forgot to get a texture shot so this photo is courtesy of the AMLY website:

This is a vitamin c free antioxidant/antipollution day serum. It’s got a light hydrating creamy texture. It has a more earthy green scent than the other two. This combines echinacea with green tea and gotu kola for some powerful antioxidants. This has hydrators from marine products like algae, cucumber, squalane, aloe, glycerin & sweet almond oil. This has a ton of plant extracts like ginseng, nettle, yarrow and white willow. This serum has quite a few essential oils like neroli, frankincense, jasmine, cedarwood, ylang ylang, roman chamomile and lavender which is what give this it’s more powerful scent. I liked this. It reminds me of a lighter weight version of the de Mamiel Intense Nurture Antioxidant Elixir. Different ingredients and approach, but same non vitamin c, hydrating, creamy, antipollution style serum. I like it during the winter the most. I most definitely would repurchase the mists and the oil from AMLY. Those are the stand out products for me. The cleansing balm & face balm are next on my list to try from the brand.
