"too screwed up to fit into our otherwise more normal brands".
Abnomaly launched earlier this month but currently only boasts one product, Petrowhat? a name I quite like! The next brand to cause waves for Deciem, was created out of boredom in the Deciem lab, to stop relentlessness with the creators.
A lot of great things seem to be made by accident or out of boredom 👀
So, what’s the deal with, Petrowhat? It’s a petrolatum (aka paraffin) free multi-purpose balm. Petrolatum, can be very sticky, greasy, clogs the pores which cause spots for us, and why purposely risk giving ourselves spots? This is a multi-purpose, cruelty free, vegan, plant based with natural flavours balm.
There are 4 balms (Rio (guava flavour), Bali (pineapple), Milk (coconut milk) and Baobab, all £7 each) and each one of these are filled with skin identical amino acids that are known for their ability to maintain hydration, so basically say goodbye to chapped & dry anything with Petrowhat? I don’t want to see nobody caught out here with those issues!! Although our skin naturally produces certain amino acids, our skin when it’s dry, rough and lacklustre, it needs topping up. They all have plant-derived Squalane and Baobab oil base, Squalane, I swear by, I’ve been using that from The Ordinary for months now, thoroughly love that oil, so seeing it within this balm, it’s more of a bonus as it’s an oil that agrees with my skin.
Kindly, I’ve been able to try the Petrowhat? Milk Fyi: coconut milk flavour & Petrowhat? Baobab What’s that?. I've gotta say Deciem, you've done it again, yo! A couple weeks ago, I'd come home and was removing my make-up in the shower, being the fact we was in the middle of a heatwave the combination of sweat, open pores and make-up seeping into my skin was making my skin crawl, I scrubbed a little too hard on my cheek (oops) and it was a little raw, this was the perfect time to use the Petrowhat?, I decided to go for the Baobab and by the next morning, the redness, tenderness and whatever else ness we could think about had subsided. Well it didn't have to convince me anymore. It's affordable & it works which is the bottom line.
