V&M Naturals was founded in 2008 by Jamie Faith Tan through an online platform called Multiply. She started it as a result of catering to a specific need: to alleviate her cousin’s psoriasis. Her cousin’s state has worsened to the point where she was unable to walk because of the severe pain, as not a single steroid-based medicine helped in curing the disease. But when their relative from Australia recommended the use of Emu Oil, a natural by-product of the emu bird that is native to the region, her condition has improved immensely.
From that, V&M Naturals started to produce Pure Actives, which are pure and all-natural oils that can suit different skin types.
Below are the lists of perfect miracle workers for you and what it can do for your skin.
Mature Skin Type
Emu Oil – has similar essential fatty acid content to that of human skin, making it effective in improving the appearance of scales; contains Vitamins A and E that protect the skin from free radical damage and help in cell regeneration
“I swear to this product’s effectiveness. I swear to this product’s effectiveness. Been ordering emu oil for quite some time now for my stubborn acne and the marks it leaves, but what really amazed me was when I used it to treat my sister. She had a waxing mishap two months ago and the thing was just downright horrible. It was 3days old by the time I saw it and it looked like a darkened keloid around her lips. I immediately told her to apply the emu oil for one whole day. She did as I told her. She applied it that morning and later in the afternoon and before going to bed. The next day we were surprised to see that more than 50% of the thing or scar peeled off. The thing on both sides of her lips and on the bottom was gone as if it wasn’t there the day before. The ones right above her lips lightened (like pinkish light) and it looked like it was about to peel off. I’m totally happy that we got to fix her even the scar was a few days old. Very happy with this product.”–Andrew
Rosehip Oil – rich in essential fatty acids that are important in maintaining healthy cells and producing skin barrier to keep it hydrated and younger-looking
“My daughter had a surgery when she was 7. She’s a teenager now and wants to get rid of her old scar. This is the result of using your Rosehip Oil which I bought last December 2015. She sometimes forget to apply the oil, but still with good results. The bottle was almost empty and I want her to continue applying the oil as it evidently lightened the scar with each use.”
Argan Oil – has antioxidant properties that help in improving the appearance of cracked, irritated, damaged, or burnt skin; fatty acid content is able to moisturize and soften the skin for a more supple look
“Hydrating!Argan oil moisturizes your skin really well. On my lazy days, I would just clean my face and pat a few drops of this on my face and I am good to go. I also love using this before applying my make up because it is really hydrating and it shows once you apply a lot of products on your face.” –Jeannie
“Spoil your skin a little. Use Argan oil! I tried a few drops of argan oil at first and it was love at first pat! I finished the whole bottle in no time. This oil makes my skin smooth and glowing and soft and moisturised and basically everything I want it to be. Plus this oil does not leave you with any trace of greasy feeling. I put this on my face, my neck, my hair, my elbows, and basically every patch of my skin that needs a little more tender loving care.” – Mikaella
Love Plant Oil – an anti-aging botanical blend that helps in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, lessen pore size, and improve skin elasticity; effectively hydrates and brightens the skin
“Hard working oil. I was hesitant to use oil before because I thought it will make my face greasy. My skin has changed because of the hormonal balance I’m experiencing. My skin became super dry and all my makeup are cracking because of my skin’s dryness. I tried this one and I can’t believe that this oil will solve my problem. This oil is very useful. I even apply this after I popped my pimple that is about to explode. This oil heals fast and non-irritating and even redness caused by other products. This is the answer that sensitive skin ladies are looking for. Not only that, this makes my pores not noticeable anymore. It may not whiten your skin but it makes your skin even because it lightens the dark spots caused by acne or hyperpigmentation. Can’t believe this is a local product. Great one.”–Riz
Dry/Sensitive Skin Type
Emu Oil – has similar essential fatty acid content to that of human skin, making it effective in improving the appearance of scales; contains Vitamins A and E that protect the skin from free radical damage and help in cell regeneration
“A MIRACLE GAME CHANGER. My skin has been and always been very sensitive – I get somehow bacne and rashes if I don’t shower day and night and if I get sweaty. It stays for months and months which is awful for me. I struggle searching for a product that can work with my issues but meeting this product @ SM Megamall stall, I immediately bought it and it helps pacify these skin problems. Applying it after bath (day & night) really minimize the bacne immediately. It’s a miracle and the only issues left are the mark but I also bought CPG oil to check if it will work as well. But all in all, due to this product, I’ve decided to stick to VNM.” – Maria Lourdes
Rosehip Oil – rich in essential fatty acids that are important in maintaining healthy cells and producing skin barrier to keep it hydrated and younger-looking
“Moisturizing and Anti-Aging.Was on the lookout for natural/organic anti-aging serum when I found this oil. I used it while my skin still has a mild sunburn and continued to use it for about a month now. It kept my skin hydrated through the sunburn healing. With continued use, it left my face soft and supple. The consistency is quite thick compared to other VNM oils. Best used as evening serum for face and neck. Will maintain this as part of my skincare routine as it gave me moisturized skin and as my anti-aging serum.” – Louise Lane
Combination Dry Skin Type
Emu Oil – has similar essential fatty acid content to that of human skin, making it effective in improving the appearance of scales; contains Vitamins A and E that protect the skin from free radical damage and help in cell regeneration
“Every girl panics everytime there’s a pimple that pops out on their skin. I noticed this pimple na “papansin” when I woke up in the morning and I remembered the stressful day I had that I even forgot to wash my face before going to bed (think I missed my dinner too). So tempting to squeeze that pus out! Gladly, Emu Oil to the rescue! After washing my face, I directly applied the emu oil on that pimple and just go through with my day. Just before the day ends, it’s already a flat pimple mark! A proof that Emu Oil works in a span of a day (might be an overnight to some users). Got no worry with the mark because I have my CPCG oil and Brightening Love Plant Oil.”
Tsubaki Oil – rich in Vitamin E that helps protect the skin from UV-induced damage and generate new cells; has fatty acid content that is important for producing skin barrier to keep skin moisturized
“Love it. I use it every night for six months now and I could say this really help me. I was suffering very bad acne before and it leaves me with acne scars so, I was looking for ways to at least help me lessen it when I came across this product. I read reviews about this and saw it’s on 50% off, so i decided to try it. And now I can say that it really helps smoothen my face, some of my acne marks are gone now and those deep scars improved a lot. There are a lot of people who notices that my face improve and ask me what I am using.” – Carissa
Normal Skin Type
Tsubaki Oil – rich in Vitamin E that helps protect the skin from UV-induced damage and generate new cells; has fatty acid content that is important for producing skin barrier to keep skin moisturized
“Great for scars, dark spots, and textured skin <3 I have oily, acne-prone skin, but at the time I purchased this I was just dealing with scars. This oil helped me get ride of the majority of my scars AND had a pore-refining and skin-smoothening effect! I also tried the Wayne Goss “foundation hack” which is to add a drop of beauty oil to foundation to make it blend better and look more skinlike, and this did the job perfectly. It also absorbs very quickly, so even if it’s the last step of skincare at night, I don’t have to go to bed with a greasy face because by that time it’s already well-absorbed and plumping my skin as I sleep. Would definitely repurchase and recommend for any skin type that needs some refining and revitalizing!”–Mizpah
Love Plant Oil – an anti-aging botanical blend that helps in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, lessen pore size, and improve skin elasticity; effectively hydrates and brightens the skin
“To brighten your skin at its finest! This product really surprise me – I love that it is not greasy and dry up easily – best paired with moisturizer for a super smooth and flawless skin. I have bumps before using the brightening oil and as expected it leaves mark on my face but with the use of this magic oil – it lightens. It keeps my skin glowing and I will definitely keep this product on my must-have kit.” – Maria
Combination Oily Skin Type
Copaiba Oil – has superb wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, emollient properties
“The oil that lightens. I’ve been using this oil for a few weeks now and I can definitely see the effect on my skin. My dark spots on my chin and neck area due to pimple marks were not as prominent as before. I use this together with the orange essential oil as my spot corrector. I apply it mostly at night and as a moisturizer during the day as well. Lastly, I love the scent!” – Pamela Joyce
“It’s a must in every beauty box. I really love a lot of herbs, organics, superfoods, exotic oils and I am just glad copaiba oil found its way to PH through V&M Naturals… Copaiba does wonders to skin and it is one of the superfoods for skin… Thanks, V&M I love that you make great products… why I love it most is because of its property as an anti-cancer serum and it is a great oil for breast massage to avoid breast cancer, and avoid sagging… it’s pretty great for healing cuts and scars as well… I encourage women to add this in as part of their daily great skin and healthy lifestyle because of its amazing benefits.” – Renina
Hazelnut Oil – rich in fatty acid content that is a good skin emollient and moisturizing agent; protects the driest and most sensitive part of the skin
“Holy grail for pimples!!! I had the pleasure of purchasing this item at half off. I don’t know if I would splurge on it at Php 1,700, but I will definitely do my best to preserve what I have left of mine for as long as possible. I use it to treat pimples, and they shrink overnight after I’ve applied this oil directly on the spot. I haven’t seen much result on the pore minimizing aspect, but it definitely does wonders for treating and drying out pimples.” –Sydney
Marula Oil – has fatty acid and Vitamin C contents that helps in firming and smoothening the skin; super absorbent and has the ability to prevent and heal dry skin
“The better young looking me AGAIN. I’ve been looking for something for a very long time to address my acne scars though I don’t want to put random chemicals on my face. A friend introduced to me this brand before so when I passed by to their stall in Mega Mall I didn’t hesitate to ask. Their staff recommended this and SOLD! I tried it right away. After a few days, my friends and family noticed the changes in my skin condition! Super thank you for helping me gain my confidence back!” – Carmela Dominique
“I woke up like this: with radiant skin! The beauty consultant suggested this oil to me when I asked how else can I address the fine lines, dark spots (due to acne marks), and other signs of ageing besides the CPC+G oil that I smother on my face LOL! She recommended this oil after I spot treat with CPC+G. Went home and did as she told and I can’t thank her enough. My skin was glowing even more. After a week, the fine lines significantly lessened and spots are actually fading fast! I use it on my neck, too. Love the nutty smell. I have oily skin but this didn’t cause me to break out, as guaranteed by all the V&M products. I’m sticking to this!” –Racquel
Oily Skin Type
Hazelnut Oil – rich in fatty acid content that is a good skin emollient and moisturizing agent; protects the driest and most sensitive part of the skin
“It’s really good and a must have. It controls the oil in my face and makes my pimples dry fast. It can minimize my pores, even I use this in the morning, my face is dewy look but not oily. It heals wounds also and prevents scars. 🙂 thanks V&M!” – Alfren
Acne Prone Skin Type
Emu Oil – has similar essential fatty acid content to that of human skin, making it effective in improving the appearance of scales; contains Vitamins A and E that protect the skin from free radical damage and help in cell regeneration
“8 Year Old Scar Almost Gone. I’ve only been using this product for six days now yet its effects on my skin are already visible! I have this dark scar on my face for like 8 years already (no kidding) and I have tried a lot of products to get rid of it and none of them came close to this miracle oil. In six days, my scar has already lightened and slightly flattened. Having a smoother and more supple skin is a bonus because getting rid of the scar was my main reason of buying this product. I use this product day and night after washing my face with apple cider vinegar soap in the morning and an emu oil based soap at night. This product really suits my skin; I haven’t had any breakout since using this (which I was afraid I would because I have oily skin). The product is light and is easily absorbed by the skin. Thumbs up!”–Jannah
