Leyende’s Real Benefits Campaign

I’m truly privileged to know another Proudly Filipino Made Brand in the name of Leyende on their recent Real Benefits Campaign Launch, which is geared toward Holiday Shopping Holiday on a new, socially-relevant dimension.

From the Spanish word leyenda, meaning “legend” or “story,” Leyende is an emerging Filipino brand of handmade, natural and organic bath and body products following eco-friendly, artisanal principles.

Introducing Leyende’s Limited Edition Inspired Gifts for the Holidays…The Mother Butter Moisturizing Cocoa Butter Cream, The Beach Bomb Cologne, and The Clean Slate Multi-tasking Face Cleanser.

College Fund, which is going to sponsor the education of at-risk, out-of-school youth who undergo work-study program with Messy Bessy worry-free, ecofriendly household cleaners.

I’m using the Mother Butter Cocoa Butter Cream, and I love it. It reminds me a bit of Palmer’s, which I was an avid user during my pre/post pregnancy days. Only, this one is way better in terms of lingering scent, minus the grease. Plus, it’s organic, and all natural. Seriously, Mother Butter is love…so lightweight! ;-D So for the past days and nights, I’m lavishly applying it all over, hoping for some kind of miracle that it’s not too late, and I can still do something on my unsightly stretch marks. Or just indulge in sweet scented and moisturized state all throughout. ;-D

The company’s integrity and dedication to high quality resulted in using only premium, certified natural and organic components for Leyende products. Leyende’s key ingredients are certified and/or approved by ECOCERT, an internationally-recognized, impartial certifying authority based in France with headquarters in over 80 countries worldwide.  

In 2008, Leyende was included in the book 50 Must-Buys in Manila edited by Michael Salientes (top stylist and former art director of Details magazine) and Janina Dizon Hoschka (jewelry designer).  

Our products are especially favored among young professionals, the artistic community, eco-conscious homemakers and international community. Through our quality natural and organic products, we strive to represent the Philippines (and Filipino companies in general)  positively and professionally in the global scene. 

Layenda is the brainchild of awarded poet and freelance writer, Ms. Neva Kares Talladen (on the leftmost in gray/black top). Together with other Leyende’s ambassadors, they talk on the rewarding experience of Layenda.

Thank you so much for Leyende’s Team for having me. It’s a pleasure meeting you all. ;-D
