\"DSC_0001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My dear friend Inke<\/a> and I are potion hoarders. Inke\u2019s favorite potions are creams, whereas for me, the weirder the product, the better. Hence my love of studying INCI lists: the stranger the ingredient, the more excited I get. This usually leads me to serums and other treatments, as they have the highest concentrations of active (and weird) ingredients.<\/p>\n

There is also a correlation between the strangeness of the consistency or shape of a product, and the attractiveness of its concept. I am all for time-consuming skin care rituals, and products that have to be mixed. The more complicated it is, the more I love it. A third factor is scent; a strange scent will always pique my interest. And there are no bad scents in natural cosmetics, as far as I\u2019m concerned, only three different types<\/em> of scent: intoxicating, good, and strange.<\/p>\n

This love of strange things is by no means restricted to cosmetics. I tend to be interested in people and things that are somehow unique, special, and unusual. These qualities may be hidden in very ordinary things, and I\u2019m not so much drawn to the look of something or someone, but the feeling<\/em> I get, and even tiny, almost undetectable, details.<\/p>\n

While thinking about these strange loves of mine, I had the idea of compiling a TOP 5 list of weird and wonderful products.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. May Lindstrom The Clean Dirt<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    May\u2019s Clean Dirt is strange down to its very name. The ingredients are special and rarely seen in cosmetics; the scent isn\u2019t exactly normal, either. But the strangest thing about the product is its consistency. A bottle of powder, which is mixed with water using one\u2019s bare hands; the goop begins hissing and sizzling, suddenly transforming into a bubbly and warming mousse. I can\u2019t help but love the concept, and its obvious effectiveness does nothing to diminish my affection for the product.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Nightly Brightening Pads<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Pads packed with active ingredients \u2013 how ingenious! And unusual. It could just as well have been a fluid that one applied using a cotton ball. I love all sorts of fluids, spritzers, and mists. The same goes for bamboo pads \u2013 there\u2019s no way I\u2019m not into it! And as they even realized my wishes a leave-on, vitamin and fruit acid based fluid \u2013 well, let\u2019s just say, I\u2019ve fallen hard<\/em>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Supermood Egoboost Pure Micellar Toner<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Moving on from mists and pads, we have a fluid that turns into foamy cream, once out of the bottle. The thought of sinking one\u2019s face into fluffy whipped cream is enough to have me dancing with glee. To get the most out of this product, one should apply it using one\u2019s fingers \u2013 not a cotton ball, as the instructions suggest. Using antioxidant rich chaga mushroom in cosmetics is such a stroke of genius that it\u2019s no wonder folks from all the way across the pond are showing interest in Supermood and chaga mushroom foam.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Neal\u2019s Yard Remedies Seaweed & Salt Body Scrub<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The scent of the world\u2019s best body peel has had mixed reactions. The fact that product contained sea salt and algae was enough to spark my interest while searching for a cure for my back-flakage, but its strange scent was what sealed the deal \u2013 its effectiveness is just the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. The Organic Pharmacy\u00a0Collagen Boost Mask<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            A leave-on collagen production boosting gel mask? Oh thank you, yes I am<\/em> interested! A look at the INCI had me impatient to wash off my makeup so I could slather on a treatment whose promised results seem to be accurate, if the flawless of my skin the next morning is anything to go by.<\/p>\n

            What are some of your weird and beloved products?<\/strong><\/p>\n
