Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm and Thank You Farmer Miracle Age Melawring Dual Balm

You have probably seen multi-balm sticks in many kdramas, it feels like a huge trend started by a Kbeauty brand called Kahi since then many brands released their own multi-balms. Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm and Thank You Farmer Miracle Age Melawring Dual Balm are two new Thank You Farmer products. Are multi-balm products which you need to add to your routine? 

This post was made in collaboration with Bemused Korea, even though it still shows my personal opinion on the topic and product.

Why everyone is obsessed with multi-balms? 

Multibalms are not a new thing, when I started to blog one of my favourite products were Neogen White Truffle Balm Pact, it was a great product to add moisture to the skin, but Neogen had other product very similar to what we can see trending now - Neogen White Truffle Laycure Oil. Sadly, these two products are no longer available. I believe in 2020 Kahi released Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm - a multifunctional balm which you can carry everywhere and take care of your eyes and wrinkles. You probably saw actress Kim Go Eun using Kahi Multi Balm in The King: Eternal Monarch or Yumi's Cells - it has sense since Kim Go Eun is Kahi's ambassador. Seo Hye Won used Kahi's Multi Balm in A Business Proposal, you can also spot this product in Extraordinary Attorney Woo. It's no surprise that after its appearance in so many Kdramas, viewers started to complain about this product.   

I didn't try Kahi, but I can agree that for dry skin multi-balms can be good since when you look at ingredients, you can see that they can add some moisture to the skin and prevent TEWL. The fact that they come in compact packaging is super useful if you travel a lot like me. Every time I go to my university or travel somewhere, I have to deal with dry lips and patches on my skin. Thanks to Bemused Korea I was able to test two of Thank You Farmer balms: Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm and Thank You Farmer Miracle Age Melawring Dual Balm

Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm - Texture & Scent  

Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm has no scent. The texture is rich, but it isn't sticky. The shape of this balm makes it a bit hard to apply at first, and you need to "work it out" a bit to make it work as it should.

Water hides in cosmetic products under names such as Aqua or Eau. It's a solvent, but it's not your regular drinking water. Water in skin care needs to fit some standards. It should be clean and free from minerals, microorganisms or other substances. Usually, water makes up the majority of the content of the product. Dibutyl Adipate is an oily emollient. This oil-soluble ingredient dissolves in oils. It creates a hydrating film on the surface of the skin to prevent the skin from dehydration. You can meet it in sunscreens as a solvent. Synthetic Wax is a synthetic substance that is supposed to work as natural wax. It's an emollient that prevents TEWL (transepidermal water loss). Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride is a combination of coconut oil and glycerin. It's a notable emollient, quite common in skincare. It leaves a protective film on the surface of the epidermis to save your cutis from dehydration. Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride has a significant role in skin care products - it makes the application process effortless. Some people might experience pore-clogging after using Caprylic/​Capric Triglyceride, but pore-clogging and skin reactions to ingredients are individual. What works for you might not work for someone else. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil is a source of linoleic acid and vitamin E. Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil works as an emollient.

Glycerin or Glycerol is a humectant. Its origin can be natural or synthetic - depending on the product. It protects TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and naturally occurs in the skin.

It's an antioxidant with anti-aging properties. Centella Asiatica Extract is probably the most popular extract in skincare. It comes under a few names - Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass or Gotu kola. Centella Asiatica's roots are in Ayurveda. This extract is successful because it's a source of triterpene saponins - madecassoside and asiaticoside. Centella Asiatica Extract has anti-inflammatory properties. It speeds up the wound-healing process. You can use it to treat acne since it has soothing and antibacterial properties. It boosts fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin or even helps with hyaluronic acid synthesis. Centella is recommended for rosacea and cellulitis since it helps with blood microcirculation. In hair care, Centella can help with hair growth.

Microcrystalline Wax is an oily synthetic emollient. Bisabolol is a substance derived from Chamomile. It has anti-inflammatory properties and it speeds up the wound-healing process. It's a great ingredient to calm sensitive skin. The good news is that even if you're allergic to chamomile, you can still use bisabolol.

How does Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm work? 

I love how comfortable it is to use Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm. The packaging is well-designed - I can put it in my bag and go out. Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm was created for dry skin and dry patches. It's a formula rich in ceramides since we can spot 5 different ceramides in the formula: Ceramide NP, ceramide AP, Ceramide AS, Ceramide NS and Ceramide EO. It contains 100,000 ppm of Gyodong Rice Extract, an area that is free from pollution according to the brand. It's not a surprise, since Thank You Farmer is focused on the quality of their natural ingredients. This balm can be used not only on your face, I find it useful on elbows or even hands since my hands after COVID are still dealing with some skin issues.   

I'm aware that depending on the brand people are not a fan of multi-balms due to sickness of the formula, but Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm doesn't have this problem. It does melt a bit and higher temperatures like 45C might be a problem for it. Thank You Farmer recommends storage of this balm in temperatures between 10 and 35C. Thank You Farmer Rice Pure Aqua Multi Balm helps with dry patches, it's hard to say if it helps with pigmentation, but it's a product which I would recommend if you travel a lot or need extra moisture. I like to use it when I sit at work in front of the computer and I feel stressed or tired, when I apply it on my skin, it feels relaxing.
