Bubble Skincare Slam Dunk Moisturizer 

@bubble

Bubble’s Slam Dunk Moisturizer is trending big time, mainly in the U.S New York metro area, where the new cruelty-free skincare company is rolling out its new all-purpose body cream at CVS, Ulta and Walmart locations.  The everyday cream moisturizer made with natural ingredients like aloe leaf juice and flower extract restores essential nutrients for dry to normal skin. The company’s goal is to discover new ways for plant-based sources to work their natural magic more effectively with a boost from modern-day science.

“We concentrate herbal-based flowers, plants, and sea-derived extracts and waters in a plant-based glycerin,” Bubble states on their website. “This process safely embeds the plant’s active ingredients into a well-balanced formula. So your skin can get all of nature’s benefits without any harsh side effects.”
