Insect-Infused Skin Oils

Point68 is Made with a Combination of Plant Oils and 20% Soldier Grub Oil

— May 21, 2020 — Fashion
Bug Bacon, an insect snack company based in Cambodia, teamed up with American natural skincare brand Sibu Sea Berry Therapy to create a luxurious and uniquely infused skin oil. The product is made with not just organic sea buckthorn oil and other nourishing plant oils but also 20% black soldier fly larvae oil. As soldier grubs are some of the world's most sustainable and nutrient-rich insects, the skincare product offers a unique approach to supporting the health and healing of skin. The formula also contains argan, rosehip, patchouli, frankincense, lavender and sunflower oils, which contribute soothing and anti-inflammatory properties.

According to the founder of Bug Bacon, Point68 is the first of its kind commercially available luxury skin oil derived from insects.
