Sweet Chef | Kale + Vitamin B Serum Shot

This review was originally part of my blog article titled, Products I Love: Sweet Chef Natural Skincare Vitamin Shots - Best Natural Anti-Aging Serums. You can catch the full piece here.

Hello, Sweet Chef! Sweet Chef’s three genius serums are “the perfect daily shot of natural skincare infused with vegetables and vitamins to freshly boost your skin's vitality and deliver a healthy radiance.” Honestly, that sums up the brand perfectly.

Each serum combines antioxidant vitamins with fruit and vegetable extracts that nourish, protect, retexturize, hydrate and/or moisture the skin — all of which you need to maintain optimum skin health.

The Sweet Chef Kale + Vitamin B Serum Shot is, as with the Beet Shot, a silky, milky serum. This one is packed with an extract from superfood kale — the tough, deep-green leafy vegetable I’d never heard of until I moved to New York more than a decade ago. Now I can’t get enough of it! I’ve even made kale pesto for Sunday dinner. In fact, I think I’ll make kale pesto for dinner tonight. Mmm!

The particular extract in the Kale Shot, Brassica Oleracea Acephala Kale Leaf, is rich in antioxidants, nutrients and Vitamin B.

This form of Vitamin B, known as panthenol or Vitamin B5, is especially hydrating in skin and performs as a powerful humectant that attracts and holds moisture. In addition, Sweet Chef included Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract which they say is a “powerful anti-inflammatory booster that soothes and moisturizes dry, irritated skin.”

I wasn't familiar with this form of aloe and, again, Sweet Chef taught me something about ingredients that I didn’t know. There’s so much that’s good in the Kale Shot — including antioxidants Turmeric Root Extract and Cocoa Seed Extract as well as Eggplant Fruit Extract, Red Algae Extract, and Carageen Moss Extract. It’s a veritable salad for your face. Make that a pesto for your face!
