On the eve of International Women’s Day, Pili Ani US celebrated more than just a new product launch—it honored the women who power the brand, the science behind the glow, and the beauty of self-care.
The star of the event? The Pili Ani Cleansing Butter, a buttery-soft balm that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and long-wear formulas while deeply nourishing the skin. Made with uniquely powerful Filipino heritage-ingredients such as Pili Butter, Pili Oil, and Elemi Oil, this cleanser does more than cleanse—it hydrates, restores, and strengthens the skin barrier, leaving skin feeling soft, supple, and purified.
A Skincare Ritual, Elevated by an Expert Touch
At the heart of the event was the Daily Reset experience, a carefully curated facial ritual featuring the Pili Ani’s most-loved products. Leading the session was renowned celebrity esthetician Takako, whose expert techniques elevated the experience, showing guests how to deeply cleanse, nourish, and restore their skin using the power of Pili and Elemi Oils.
The lineup featured:
✨ Cleansing Butter – A buttery-soft balm that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and long-wear formulas while deeply nourishing the skin with Pili Butter, Pili Oil, and Virgin Coconut Oil.
✨ Gentle Facial Cleanser – A refreshing second step to complete a double cleanse that leaves skin soft and balanced.
✨ Purifying Toner – A hydrating mist that preps skin while refining texture.
✨ Youthful Glow Facial Cream – A moisture-rich formula for lasting hydration.
✨ Self-Care Night Recovery Oil – A potent blend of Pili & Elemi Oils and botanicals that locks in nourishment overnight.
Attendees experienced firsthand how the ocean-derived Alteromonas Ferment Extract in the Cleansing Butter works to purify the skin, while the blend of active oils replenishes lost moisture—proof that cleansing doesn’t have to strip the skin, but
transforms into an indulgent, skin-loving ritual.
Celebrating Filipino Craftsmanship—Beyond Skincare
The event wasn’t just about skincare innovation—it was also a celebration of community and conscious beauty. Guests enjoyed a thoughtfully curated spread of Filipino and Asian women-owned treats, featuring vegan baked goods from San & Wolves and refreshing fruit teas Kace and oat milk lattes from Narra.
As a female-led brand, launching the Cleansing Butter in the US right before International Women’s Day felt incredibly fitting. It was a reminder that beauty isn’t just about products—it’s about empowerment, sustainability, and making thoughtful choices that benefit both our skin and the planet.
A Smarter Cleanse, A Better Future
Rounding up the afternoon, Pili Ani took a moment to thank everyone who made the event possible. A heartfelt appreciation went out to IPR for their invaluable support in bringing this vision to life and to Complexion Apothecary for providing a stunning venue that set the perfect tone for an afternoon of beauty, wellness, and sustainability.
Most importantly, Pili Ani extended its deepest gratitude to the guests—the skincare enthusiasts, advocates of clean beauty, and supporters of sustainable practices—who joined in celebrating not just a product launch but a movement towards mindful self-care and conscious choices.
As the event came to a close, attendees left with glowing skin, renewed inspiration, and a deeper connection to the essence of Pili Ani: pure, potent, and powerful beauty that honors both skin health and the planet.
