Natural cosmetic brand Likami promises to be superfood for the skin. They use active, plant-based ingredients and natural oils to create a new generation of quality skincare. I tested their botanical products until the bottles were empty, and today I tell you what I think about Likami’s face care.
Likami – Icelandic for body – stands for inspiration and vision. It’s a slow skincare brand that focuses on relevant things and is closely connected to nature. The family-run brand is from Belgium and produces in small quantities with fresh ingredients sourced from Europe. The products come with antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. The four ingredients that most products contain are yarrow, sage, St. John’s Word and burdock, which they call the “quadri gold complex”.
The product line is small but offers everything you really need to care for your face, hair and body. The packaging is recyclable and minimalistic.
Likami Cleansing Milk
Every skincare routine starts with cleansing, and the Likami Cleansing Milk is rich and milky. It contains aloe vera, macadamia oil and, of course: the quadri gold complex. So this milk is the ideal accomplice to get rid of environmental toxins and excess cell-build up.
I wear foundation every day and usually clean my face with oil to take off most makeup and use this as a second cleansing step. It smells lovely, feels gentle and calming, and does what it is supposed to do very well.
Likami Facial Toner
After cleansing comes the toning! The Likami facial toner contains quadri gold complex and orange blossoms, almost a spa feeling!
I must confess at first I was not sure if I’d like a spray toner, but after using it for a few weeks I’m converted. I love to close my eyes, spray it on my face and instantly feel relaxed. I didn’t know that toning would ever become one of my favourite moments of the day, wow!
Likami Facial Essential Serum
A rich oil made of rosehip, argan and camelia, created to be a youth and beauty booster for the face. It stimulates the skin’s production of collagen and cells, adds antioxidants to enhance firmness, soothes and nourishes.
Omg, my favourite product, I think it’s a game-changer! The smell is divine and my skin feels super soft and nourished after using it. I use it twice a day under my cream, sometimes in the evening, I mix it with a retinol oil. I tried a lot of oils, but this one is the best I ever had.
Likami Facial Cream
The hydrating cream with organic aloe vera and macadamia oil feels like velvet and causes a beautiful shine on the skin. It provides superb antioxidant hydration, stimulates the production of collagen, protects and heals. Quadri gold complex is included, too, of course.
The Likami Facial Cream is rich but absorbs fast, leaving just the smoothest skin I’ve ever known. During the day, I also use suncream and a primer to complete my skincare ritual.
Likami Eye Cream
Eye creams are my secret addiction, and this anti-wrinkle eye contour cream is very luxurious to make eyes radiant and reduces puffiness. Grapeseed oil meets hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, macadamia oil and of course: the quadri gold complex.
It’s nourishing and hydrating, and the eyes are given a natural glow. Yes, yes, Likami Eye Cream help me keep the radiance and vitality of the eye area!
So, what do I think about Likami?
After emptying all my bottles of Likami, it’s time for a verdict: Likami isn’t pink, it doesn’t look bling bling, but I am in love! I already went to Absynt in Winterthur to buy more and honestly say: I am a Likami girl and totally hooked!
Sorry to all other skincare brands: You’ll have a very hard job to get back in my bathroom.
Likami is available online and from selected partners in Switzerland. First of all at Absynt in Winterhur and new as well at Fashionpie and Schön&Recht in Zurich and at Clomes in Berne.
