Like most California photographers, Blue Gabor has spent considerable time in the sun, taxing her skin for the sake of art. But unlike most shutterbugs, she cultivated a skin-care line to counteract the sun’s damage. Calling on her background in herbalism, time in New York in the beauty industry, and culinary training in France, Gabor created CREATURE SOLEIL for fellow sun worshippers.
“This is something I felt my skin needed and wants to drink it up, sometimes more than a lotion or an oil,” says Gabor, who calls herself a product junkie. After trying internal vitamins, she became curious about delivering the same effect to the skin, spending two years mixing different combinations of ingredients to target building the skin’s natural glutathione and natural moisturizing factors, the two elements she says are responsible for healthy-looking skin.

“I researched the smallest, most potent actives that were water soluble and stable and came up with a unique product that is neither a bath milk nor a serum but a mix of both,” she says. “There are no oils in the two initial products. They work more as hydrators with brightening and strengthening aspects. It’s basically a daily vitamin applied to your skin with warm water.” She uses Sun Milk Bath daily in the bathtub or as a powder-to-milk serum in the shower or sauna. The result is a new kind of glow that’s worry-free and easy to worship. creaturesoleil.com
