Juice Beauty USDA Certified Organic Collection
March 31, 2009 Every day should be Earth Day, and Juice Beauty is one of the natural skin care leaders to promote this idea. Their line of organic body and skin care has always been made without the laundry list of the usual chemicals (no parabens, propylene/butylene glycols, petroleum, sulphates, PEGs, TEA, DEA, phthalates, GMO, silicones, pesticides, etc.). Are you tired yet from reading that list? You don't want all those things on your skin.
I'm happy to learn about their new USDA Certified Organic collection. That means they're using ingredients cultivated from USDA certified Organic farms that maintain soil productivity and control through crop rotation, compost and biological pest control (no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, livestock feed additives, and GMOs).
This line contains at least 95% organic ingredient content. I really heart the Organic Lip Moisturizer. Shea and cocoa butter provide superb moisture while the intoxicating orange and vanilla make it smell and taste oh-so-loverly. It makes for great extended smooching sessions. This earned a spot inside my daily makeup bag.
The Organic Facial Wash is also an instant fave. Grape and apple juices, sunflower oil, essential fatty acids, and honey maintain optimum moisture levels while helichrysum and carrot seed remove impurities. I like the non-drying texture. It almost feels like a 2-in-1 cleanser and moisturizer.
The Organic Facial Moisture Concentrate is pretty potent, so start with a few tiny drops and work it in. This concentrated hydrator will send a boost of antioxidant-rich cranberry seed and grapeseed oils, sunflower, and jojoba. It's also packed with carrot seed, geranium, and helichrysum. Try not to pump out too much lest you waste the precious product.
I'm always harping about SPF protection, so here's another way to protect your precious dermal layer. Not only will you smell like apple pie, the Green Apple SPF 20 Antioxidant Body Moisturizer is non-greasy enough for sports (too bad it's not waterproof). I like to slap it on my arms and legs before my workouts. This is great stuff. This chemical-free spf has enough peptides, DMAE, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10 and a potent fruit acid complex to brighten and buff off fine lines.
I'm so proud that they're local yet making such a positive impact globally. Their packaging is made from 100% recycled paper and soy based inks. Over 80% of their products are manufactured in a solar powered plant.
