Yes to Carrots
Yes to Carrots is a new concept in skin and hair care that combines vitamins and minerals from the orange produce groups with Dead Sea Mud. Dead Sea Mud has world-renowned detoxifying properties; combined with beta-carotene, it helps protect skin and make it glow. The site has a handful of products, all of which are paraben-free and well-priced through Walgreens, the company’s retailer. Yes to Carrots has also created a seed fund with its profits, which provides developing communities with equipment, vegetable seeds, irrigation support, and technical instruction so that they can have their own self-sustaining, organic food sources. How wonderful to know that there are far more benefits to your moisturizer than what you see on your face!
Stem Organics
I learned on the Stem Organics site that you can absorb up to 60 percent of what you put on your skin! The company is committed to its belief that “everything you touch, or that touches you, matters,” as well as to biodegradable ingredients, creating vegetarian friendly products, and supporting programs like the World Wildlife Fund for Nature. Items are expensive, but you can purchase a sample kit of cleansers, serums, and moisturizers for all skin types for $13.90 before you commit to see if it works for you. Stem Organics also has several retail locations in the United States, mostly in New York and southern California.
Perianne
Perianne skin care offers two versions of its product line: one for spring/summer, one for fall/winter. It is inspired by and responsive to seasonal changes to help skin adapt seamlessly to natural climate cycles. Perianne also offers year-round treatments and transitional treatments to better help skin adjust to environmental and routine changes. All products are free of parabens, petrochemicals, SLS, and synthetic materials; most use organic ingredients and avoid animal testing and excessive packaging. Right now, the company is only selling its fall/winter line, with only three products to choose from: Milky Cleanser ($20 for 6 fl oz.), Gentle Toner (same price as cleanser), and Rich Face Cream ($40 for 6 fl oz.) The Web site is cute and easy to use, with a glossary of all ingredients to make understanding what you put on your face much, much easier.
