PRODUCT REVIEW: COCOKIND CHIA BOUNCE MASK – BEST SOOTHING MASK, BEST HYDRATING MASK TO FIX DEHYDRATED SKIN
COCOKIND | CHIA BOUNCE MASK
I really showed my skin some love this weekend with multiple masks — including a deep cleansing clay mask and a super hydrating mask.
It’s been crazy dry and cold and my complexion was suddenly looking a bit lifeless and lackluster so I thought it was the perfect time to indulge.
For the hydrating mask, the new Cocokind Chia Bounce Mask seemed ideal. I had gotten my hands on it a couple of weeks ago and was eager to give it a try.
And, Cocokind’s Chia Bounce Mask is a wonderfully hydrating treat for dry, dehydrated skin! It has this refreshingly light water-gel texture that’s so pleasurable to use as you spread it onto your skin. It’s not the least bit sticky.
Cocokind has been one of my favorite new brand discoveries of the year and I’ve featured the clean, sustainable brand’s products on the Skincarma Blog a couple of times already. One of my absolute favorite sunscreens of 2022 is the Cocokind Daily SPF Mineral Sunscreen SPF 32. It’s as much of a pleasure to use as the other Cocokind products I’ve experienced of late.
PRODUCT REVIEW: COCOKIND DAILY SPF MINERAL SUNSCREEN SPF 32 - BEST MINERAL SUNSCREEN FOR FACE
The Cocokind Daily SPF Mineral Sunscreen SPF 32 is a straight up mineral sunscreen with a 21% level of Zinc Oxide. There are multiple moisturizing plant oils and humectants in the formula which give it an elegant texture and make it a pleasure to use. A sunscreen that’s such a pleasure to use means you’re more likely to use it. Be sure to check it out on the blog here.
Cocokind’s clean, sustainable Chia Bounce Mask formula is infused with multiple pro-skin health actives, including Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Hyaluronic Acid and, as the name indicates, chia seeds.
If you’re unfamiliar with chia seeds, it’s a superfood rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.
In fact, chia seeds make a great breakfast pudding for this happy vegan! A scoop of chia seeds in coconut milk overnight and you’ve got a real treat in the morning as the seeds expand and absorb the milk. Mmm!
What Is Chia Seed Oil and What Does Chia Seed Oil Do for Skin?
According to the experts on the Paula’s Choice Research Team, Chia Seed Oil is among the best ingredients used in skincare.
Salvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Oil at a Glance
Non-fragrant plant oil
Considered the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids
Also contains phenolic acids and isoflavones, two potent sources of antioxidants
Has excellent moisturizing properties
Able to combat free radical damage
Salvia Hispanica (Chia) Seed Oil Description
Salvia hispanica (chia) seed oil is a non-fragrant plant oil whose seeds are a rich source of fatty acids. Oil constitutes roughly 30-40% of chia seeds, and chia seeds are the richest plant source of omega- 3 fatty acids (as skin-soothing, barrier replenishing alpha-linolenic acid).
Chia seed oil is also a rich source of linoleic acid (omega- 6 fatty acid), as well as phenolic acids and isoflavones, two potent sources of antioxidants.
In skin care, this means chia seed oil has excellent moisturizing properties, helping restore and improve skin’s appearance, as well as anti-aging properties due to its ability to combat free radical damage. Chia seed oil is also an excellent addition to one’s diet, as it’s been shown to improve overall health when ingested.
I also found a really interesting article on the benefits of chia seeds on the Byrdie website titled, Chia Seed Oil for Skin: Benefits and How to Use. Here is an excerpt:
Benefits of Chia Seed Oil for Skin
Because chia seed oil is so versatile, Mudgil says it offers benefits for all skin types. Here's how this nutrient-dense ingredient can improve the skin:
Moisturizes the skin: Mudgil notes that chia seed oil is rich in emollients, which makes it an effective moisturizer and works to soften the skin and improve the skin barrier function.
Protects from free-radical damage: The strong antioxidant properties of chia seed oil help protect the skin from oxidative damage and free radicals (which play a major role in skin aging) due to environmental aggressors, such as UV radiation or pollution.
Improves dryness and itchiness: Russak adds that chia seed oil can also work to improve pruritis (itchy skin) and xerosis (dry skin). Plescia points to an eight-week study of patients suffering from xerotic eczema who used a simple cream with 4 percent chia seed oil that found significant improvements in skin hydration and skin barrier function and reduction of itchiness.
Increases skin hydration: Russak says not only can chia seed oil help with skin hydration, but it can also decrease transepidermal water loss.
Is an antioxidant ingredient: Chia seed oil has strong antioxidant properties and is full of highly beneficial ingredients for the skin.
Rich in fatty acids: When it's used in skincare, chia seed oil is especially beneficial because of its composition of fatty acids. It contains linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) and more than 60 percent alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid), which, Plescia explains, is one of the highest for any plant source.
I love slathering on Cocokind’s Chia Bounce Mask. It dries down to an intriguing film that locks moisture and all that goodness into the skin for enhanced absorption. Afterwards, my complexion comes alive!
Be sure to check it out at cocokind.com and see all the in-depth product recyclability and sustainability details while you’re there. It’s cool stuff that no one else is doing!
What I like about it: At just $22, the Cocokind Chia Bounce Mask is one of the best hydrating masks for the price. It’s a clean formula packed with pro-skin health actives. And, it’s super easy to use, making it ideal for a quick pick-me-up for dry, dehydrated, and lackluster skin. Because it dries down to a translucent film, it’s really convenient to slather some on and go about your daily chores while your skin is infused with nutrients.
What I don’t like about it: Honestly, there’s nothing I don’t like about it. It’s really quite good.
Who it’s for: All skin types, even oily or acne-prone.
