Aubergines (Solanum melongena) is a type of vegetable fruits of the Solanaceae family, known as Brinjal (long form) or eggplant (shaped like an egg).

Aubergines cultivation method requires raising plants bed.

Aubergines suitable for planting in tropical climate such as Malaysia. Aubergines love warmth, and thrive in warm temperatures, but watch out when the temperature goes over 30°C, this could limit their potential.

Aubergines rich in Vitamin C (18.4 mg), Carotene Beta (90 microgram), Calcium (15 mg), protein (1.7 mg), Carbohydrate (5.6 mg) and phosphorus (20 mg).

Growing Aubergines with Aquaponics System

This plant is a good vegetable for Aquaponics, it's easily grown quite resistant to pest and produce many fruits during it life cycle.

I think it’s a good idea to list all of the newly reformulated sunscreens of the failed Korean sunscreens. The new formulas look promising and many of the brands are being extra careful this time with independent testing, so we can be 100% confident that these sunscreens are the labeled SPF. I will list the sunscreens that I have came across that have been reformulated. If I missed any, leave them in the comments below.

You know how when you work with tomato plants at the end of the day your hands look like you slapped the green from Shrek's face. So what is that stuff made off and what is its purpose? I think it is used as a natural repellent of some sort against predatory insects or other pathogens. But not sure what it is made of.

Edit : Maybe I should specify I want know some good scientific information about it. Like what compounds are inside it and why for example others in the Solanum genus like S. Tuberosum and S. Melongena don't have this stuff. And does it have an scientific name?

Hello! So beplain initially caught my attention as I’ve heard the brand was made based on customer feedback in Korea. The ingredients list for these products are relatively simple so there was little worry for breakouts. It definitely did not disappoint!

A little background: I live in a humid country with dehydrated, combination, acne-prone skin. My main concerns with my skin right now is CCs, calming and hydrating.

Greenful pH-Balanced Cleansing Foam 4.5/5 MRP

Glycerin, Mung Bean Extract, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Lauryl Betaine, Betaine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxypropyl Starch Phosphate, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Flower Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Powder, Dextrin, Allantoin, Water, Ceramide NP, Green Tea Powder, Ethylhexylglycerin

Compared to all cleansers I’ve used so far, this was probably one of the best. It’s a pretty light green with a thick paste texture, and has small bits of what seems to be mung bean. In my opinion, you can smell mung bean, just slightly, but I didn’t mind it at all as it reminds me of those asian dessert places haha. The cleanser itself foams, but for me it wasn’t stripping at all. The cleanser contains lots of extracts which could be good for the skin, but honestly since it’s a wash-off product, I couldnt feel any of the benefits :”) The downside would be the price. In my country, it is sold for $12 for 80ml, which is more expensive than any other cleansers I’ve ever used :(

Chamomile pH-Balanced Toner 3.5/5 WNRP

Chamomile Flower Extract (80.65%), Propanediol, Methylpropanediol, Glycerin, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Trehalose, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Betaine, Butylene Glycol, Allantoin, Cellulose Gum, Disodium EDTA, Ceramide-NP, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin

Okay so this was a 3.5 for me, just because of my skin type and the weather in my country. For oily-combo skin in humid

ESPOIR Water Splash Sun Cream Fresh SPF50+ PA++++

Quick pics comparing my previous HG sunscreen (the Apieu Soo Boo Ji) to my new HG sunscreen (the Espoir Water Splash Sun Cream Fresh):

Apieu Soo Boo Ji Sun Cotton (Left) vs ESPOIR Water Splash Sun Cream Fresh version (Right)

Greetings fellow AB-ers!!

Am highly excited to share this post with our community, because I feel like I have finally found a sunscreen that is excels in terms of ingredients as well as performance.

I struggled with cultivating the habit of putting sunscreen everyday for many years, because I just felt they were heavy on the skin, and constantly giving my oily skin new breakouts. Why on earth would I put something on my face to protect against invisible rays when it gave me such visible breakouts?

Then I finally found a holy grail, which was the A'pieu Soo Boo Ji Sun Cotton Sunscreen. I raved about it in a lengthy Reddit post almost a year ago https://bit.ly/2Okz0uR, and it really helped me to cultivate the good habit of wearing sunscreen everyday. To my dismay, they have decided to discontinue this product. I have 1 last tube left. However, I also noted that the Soo Boo Ji actually has ~4 silicones/silicone crosspolymers, which my skin has become extremely sensitive to as of late (silicones are potentially comedogenic and pore-clogging). Hence, I realised I would still get some angry bumps if I left the Soo Boo Ji on my face the whole day at work. I recently switched out all my moisturisers for silicone-free ones, because the issue was getting worse and worse.

I began a desperate search for a new holy grail sunscreen, but it seemed futile because I always do a check of the ingredients beforehand, and most sunscreens have ingredients that are less than desirable in their formulations.

Thankfully, a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon SooBeauty's Youtube review on the latest ESPOIR Water Splash Sun Cream Fresh SPF50+ PA++++. It is quite a new product at the time of writing this (14 July 2020), hence there are not many reviews out there, but some other Korean beauty Youtubers have reviewed it on their channels as well!

Farmacy Green Clean

I...totally...get...it...now…

The hype around the Farmacy Green Clean is ever-present.. I really feel like no other product has popped up on my social media feeds more than this item (aside from this summer’s cleansing balm obsession from Glow Recipe).

I ended up taking this product a lot more seriously once I began seeing it pop up in some of my favorite Korean YouTube Channels. So, Green Clean ended up finding its way into my routine over the past month and I’m so happy it did!

Featuring papaya, moringa, eggplant, and turmeric extracts...this super lightweight and creamy balm just melts into skin and provides the perfect amount of slide/glice to remove makeup and impurities.

Sunflower oil makes its way into  the formulation to add some nourishment and softness to the skin after rinsing. And that rinse, it’s awesome. The Farmacy Green Clean emulsifies and rinses better than any other cleansing balm I have used this year...all without making my skin dry/tight.

The addition of several citrus based essential oils creates a key lime pie/lemon-lime soda scent that I love. And although I haven’t had any negative reaction to them...I certainly proceeded with caution as my skin hasn’t been appreciating these types of fragrant oils recently.

This really is an awesome cleansing balm and I see why so many people proclaim their love of it. I’m right there with them and this product has easily become a top pick for this year.

Personally, I’m looking forward to trying the limited edition Very Cherry Clean as it omits the essential oils and has an equally lovely cherry/vanilla scent.

Have you gotten to try the Farmacy Green Clean...what are your thoughts?

Full Ingredients List: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Peg-10 Isostearate, Polyethylene, Echinacea Purpurea Root Extract, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Glycerin, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract, Corallina Officinalis Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Amber Powder, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Coccinia Indica Fruit Extract, Solanum Melongena (Eggplant) Fruit Extract, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract, Wat

Cleansing balms

UPDATE 8/20/20: I’m adding a new balm I’ve recently tried (at the bottom of the list). If anyone has tried balms that you’d like to review in the format used, please post them below!!!

Ok, I’ve been (still am) on a mission to try and review all of the best/most popular cleansing balms in an effort to find the very very best one. I’ve tried nearly all of the most popular ones now. I searched everywhere for a comprehensive review of all of these and couldn’t find much so I’m hoping this will be a helpful resource to others who might be looking too. I welcome any input!!

Backstory: I had been using The Body Shop’s Camomile balm since way before cleansing balms went mainstream, for probably a decade at least. I never knew there were other options until I was given a sample of Farmacy Green Clean and that’s what started me down this path - I wanted to see what the best option truly is! I liked my Camomile but could there be a better balm out there waiting for me??!

As always, YMMV but below are my results! All prices are in Canadian dollars and I have not researched pricing or availability in other countries.

As for what I actually use it for - I don’t wear a full face of makeup every single day but I do always wear a tinted sunscreen and mascara at a minimum, usually with a light powder foundation, blush and brow gel as well. I’ve tried every balm below on little to no makeup up to a full face of special occasion makeup.

A note about ingredients - I’ve copied ingredient lists below from the brands websites. It was important to me to evaluate which ones have polyethylene (plastic) as well as essential oils.

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on those below or any other options I haven’t tried yet!

TL;DR FINAL VERDICT: for a really good clean and soft face, Drunk Elephant’s Slaii is probably the best value in terms of value, packaging, ingredients, etc. I think this will continue to be my go to in the super dry winter months (especially since I tend to wear a bit thicker makeup in the winter), but to be honest, I think I will probably continue use my trusty Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter in the summers.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

So far nobody has given me a straight answer

I am currently in the hospital. I had a back operation yesterday. The surgical nurse came in my room and started asking questions about my back. She asked me if I had any falls during the last year. I responded just one. It was after summer.

She laughed and said in 20 years of doing this she never was told that joke.

..... Will get a reward.

Because they work on many levels

Well, toucan play at that game.

So... I may or may not have been keeping a weather eye on upcoming SPF releases ever since Director Ahn In-Sook mentioned in passing in a video that many cosmeceutical brands have either put a stopper on releasing new sunscreens or postponed the release of those awaiting completion to better the formula and ensure they're up to snuff, thus there will be a slew of SPF releases come March. Heaven forfend we suffer the wrath of deadly solar lasers cuz finding The One is nothing short of a bluidy struggle.

What I've noted in these new releases was a combination of robust formulas and new filters. Exciting! I've already translated the INCI lists and entered them into Incidecoder & Cosdna. Okay, enuff intro. Have a look-see at some of the freshest sun armours to keep safe from baneful UV rays.

Since Apieu discontinued this product, I did a new review for my latest holy-grail that replaces the Soo Boo Ji, the ESPOIR Fresh Water Splash Sun Cream - link here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/comments/hr1rx1/sunscreen_review_oily_skin_hot_and_humid_climate/

1 July 2020 update:

Unfortunately, it seems like A'pieu has decided to discontinue this product. I can't seem to find it on their official Korean website and it seems to be sold out everywhere else. :(

Thankfully, SooBeauty recently recommended the Espoir FRESH Water Splash Sun Cream on her Youtube channel. The ingredients list is EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE than the Apieu Soo Boo Ji Sun Cotton, thank God! I just received it in the mail a few days ago. Will be testing it out, and will write a review in due time.

Original post:

A'pieu Soo Boo Ji Sun Cotton Sunscreen (SPF50+ PA++++)

Hello fellow AB-ers!!!

Confession: I NEVER EVER wore sunscreen daily prior to finding this sunscreen. Hence, I'm really SOOooOOOooo excited to share my sunscreen Holy Grail with you guys because it seems like I've finally found a sunscreen that WORKS for me + is alcohol-free + has an excellent ingredients list. Sadly, it's SOOOO underrated.. very little people on Reddit are talking about it, s

Okay, listen. I am a fool. I am a big giant crybaby fool, and bought into everyone loving this product. wish I hadn't. I do not have overly sensitive skin and as of lately I have been super into asianbeauty and incredibly focused on moisture and hydrating and loving my skin so much. I've seen so so so much progress. So, today is a sad day.

• full product name: Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm
• how long you've been using it: I have used it twice, 12 days apart. Same reaction each time.
• what's the packaging like: So so so so nice. I love the packaging, it called to me and made me happy. I will make someone use this and then give me the jar back.
• product feel and smell: Well, it smells good. It smells good. It should have been a warning sign. Very lemony, and fresh.
• what are the positive and negative effects: Positives: I like the consistency on my fingers. But, truly, this product has made my face beet red, and all the way down my neck. Everything that touches my face right now burns and I want to cry. It is for real exactly how it felt ages ago when I overexfoliated, which is so confusing to me. I assume it is either the citric acid, or citral? But I will post the ingredient list in case someone else wants to teach me haha.
• does it do what it should / what you bought it for: I have never wanted this, no.
• overall opinion: My tears are currently burning my face.

ingredients of this demon balm:
