Skincare Brand Pili Ani
Filipina-owned natural beauty brand Pili Ani is known for facial oils and moisturizing creams, and has expanded its line of products in the USA to include its Gentle Facial Cleanser and Purifying Toner. Embraced both in the Philippines and internationally, these products contain the brand’s signature ingredient, elemi oil, lauded for its ability to detoxify skin. The oil is derived from the sap of the bark of Philippines-native pili trees and has been scientifically proven to help stimulate circulation, flush out harmful toxins and impurities, and help prevent breakouts, irregular pigmentation, and dull skin.
“In the Philippines, elemi oil is known as affordable frankincense due to its firming and antibacterial properties,” said Rosalina Tan, the brand’s co-founder. “As the first beauty brand in the world to use elemi oil in our products, we’re excited to continue bringing the ingredient, which is our country’s best kept secret, to the rest of the world with the launch of this skincare in the United States.”
The plant-based Gentle Facial Cleanser cleans and moisturizes, and keeps skin hydrated. It’s gentle and mild due to its low pH level. The Purifying Toner leaves complexions purified without a dry feeling, as it’s rife with aloe vera and elemi oil to help refine the skin’s texture and balance its natural oils. Both the Gentle Facial Cleanser and the Purifying Toner are 100% natural, dermatologist-tested and formulated using hypoallergenic ingredients.
