La Bella Figura has easily become one of my favorite green beauty brands this year. Their products are exquisitely crafted. They use phenomenal ingredients and the textures never disappoint. There are green brands, then there are luxury green brands like La Bella Figura that stand above. I already talked about some of their basics HERE (though any of their stuff is really far from basic). I also grabbed two oils earlier this year-Aria Nighttime Cell Recovery Treatment & Barbary Fig Renewal Serum.
The Anti-Damage Skin Repairing Serum. Barbary Fig Renewal Serum offers Vitamin A benefits helping to smooth skin and refine texture. This silky serum encourages healthy cell production and even skin tone. Rounding out the array of skin-loving ingredients are moisturizing milk thistle seed oil, and magnolia oil, which helps to brighten the complexion.

I love the white glass pump packaging of the oils. It's unique compared to all the black or violet glass. I love prickly pear oil so I was excited to go for a good blend of it. Prickly pear is high in linoleic acid and phytosterols as well as vitamin E. Broccoli seed oil has become a favorite of mine as well. It contains an abundant amount of fatty acids. It’s high in erucic acid an omega 9 fatty acid that has a unique ability like silicone to make a smooth finish on the skin. Quite interesting & it’s called the silicone oil on some websites. It also contains antioxidants like vitamin C, E & vitamin A so it’s a natural retinol.
Then you add guava, pineapple and blood orange oil to this. I'm drooling. I've never seen blood orange or pineapple oil in skincare before. Guava is rich in vitamin A & C, antioxidants like carotene and lycopene. Pineapple is high in antioxidants like vitamin C, B1 & B6 and has the enzyme bromelain (anti-inflammatory). Blood orange is one of my all time favorite fruits. The oil is a mood lifter from the scent. It also helps build collagen production and has some antibacterial properties.
The Barbary Fig Renewal Serum has a medium weight texture and a good slip to it. It great for summer nights and I kind of like it for winter days. It does have a light citrus scent that kind of brightens your mood. This is your antioxidant rich oil with a strong citrus feel.

Aria Nighttime Cell Recovery Treatment has easily become one of my favorite night oils. It's got avocado (rich in fatty acids & vitamin E, moisturizes), camellia (omega 6, antioxidants and polyphenols), carrot (rich in beta carotine, vitamins A & E), maracuja (anti-inflammatory), amaranth (has squalene & vitamin E), oilve (antioxidant, moisturizing), prickly pear (it's in I think every La Bella Figura product), green coffee bean, saffron (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant), arnica (calming, soothing), immortelle (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory healing) oils & roobois absolute (powerful antioxidant, fights free radicals, anti-inflammatory, has superoxide dismutase). There's antioxidant rich fruit oils as well like pomegranate, blackbery, acai, pink grapefruit & papaya.
Green coffee oil is my favorite ingredient of the year. It's high in fatty acids, vitamin E and sterols making an antioxidant. Some studies have shown that coffee essential oil helps with elastin and collagen production, it’s anti-inflammatory & helps with all the basic of anti-aging like firmness, texture and wrinkles. Aria Nighttime Cell Recovery Treatment has a delicious green color and it's a richer oil definitely good for nights. It's got really powerful antioxidants like roobois & green coffee oil mixed with some of my favorite oils like prickly pear, carrot and avocado oils. The arnica and immortelle will help heal and calm the skin.
It's truly got an amazing blend of oils & extracts. It does come with a steep price tag I won't lie. It's really quite phenomenal and worth it. This is my favorite of the two oils and I would most definitely repurchase this one. Based on the oils La Bella Figura makes this one has the most stand out inci list. It's the one I would tell you to try. When I use this one at night my skin not only is perfectly hydrated, it glows and looks extremely healthy. This is easily in my top three favorite night oils. Aria is my top favorite product from the La Bella Figura line that I've tried to date. She makes spectacular oils.
