The 10 Ready-To-Drink Beauty Elixirs We're Loving!
We all lead busy lives and sometimes juggling work, relationships and day-to-day errands can leave us feeling (and looking) tired. The busier we get, the more we need to focus on creating space for micro-moments of self care in our daily lives. These little habits can include mini meditations, quick workouts & “beauty hacks” like reaching for a cleverly concocted nutritional elixir. I find that sipping on an elixir is one of the simplest ways to create beauty from the inside out and maintain that healthy glow!
There are plenty of amazing elixirs available today that can help you look and feel absolutely gorgeous. Here are 10 of our favorites...
1. Sea Buckthorn Tonic by Juice Generation (US)
Introducing Sea Buckthorn, or as some people call it - The Miracle Berry! This ancient superfood was originally only found at high altitude in the Himalayas and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for about 12 centuries! Sea Buckthorn berries contain high levels of vitamin E and beta-carotene, which are known to combat wrinkles, dryness, and other symptoms of aging.
Juice Generation has created a wildcrafted Sea Buckthorn tonic shot which provides you with a daily boost of antioxidants that are essential for healthy, glowing skin!

2. ProPlenish by Greene St Juice Co. (AU)
This berry delicious cold-pressed elixir by Melbourne’s Greene St. Juice Co. uses a unique blend of organic coconut water, acai, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and a beauty-enhancing ingredient called ProPlenish which contains sustainably sourced marine collagen.
Collagen is one of the most important building blocks for our skin, hair and nails. It is often referred to as the anti-aging protein due to its ability to increase elasticity in the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The most bioavailable form of collagen is marine collagen, as the particle sizes are smaller and more easily absorbed into the body.

3. Antioxidant Inner Beauty Boost by The Beauty Chef (AU)
An organic, bio-fermented probiotic concentrate that helps to protect your skin and body from cellular aging. Designed by The Beauty Chef founder, Carla Oates, the Antioxidant Inner Beauty Boost uses a mouthwatering blend of papaya, pomegranate & green tea to deliver a vibrant shot of antioxidants and vitamins that help fight free radicals and repair damaged cells. It also contains a variety of natural probiotic strains which are used to ferment the carefully-selected blend of ingredients.
