Recently I wrote about my quest to live a more sustainable and organic lifestyle. Part of this quest has been to discover organic and chemical free skin care. If you would like to know more about how I qualify this please read my previous blog.
When I started my quest for organic and chemical free skin care I started the search at my local grocery store which happens to be Whole Foods. I went and spoke to their helpful staff and gave them my ideal profile for a skin care line, again chemical free and organic. By the way, I did this on a number of different occasions at different Whole Foods stores, with different staff in and around my city.
Almost every time I was immediately directed to two skin care lines: Aubrey® Organics and Dr. Hauschka Skin Care. As I ran out of personal products like, make-up, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap etc., I started replacing them with products from each line.
I started with Aubrey® Organics Rosa Mosqueta® Rose Hip Moisturizing Cream. I also decided to try their Aloe Essence™ hair care line. All of their products work well; you just need to find out which one is appropriate for your skin type and body chemistry. When using the shampoo I found that I needed to sometimes wash my hair two times for it to become real clean. I however have long hair and you may not need to do this. The Aubrey® Organics line is the most affordable of the product lines I tried at about $15 for their face cream and $8.50 for their shampoo. Additionally their sunscreens are great for summer and they don’t have all of the chemicals. Their Titania Full Spectrum Sunblock SPF 25 is what I used for my fair sensitive skin and it works wonders!
I then moved on to Dr. Hauschka’s Skin Care line and began using their Translucent Make-up, loose Face Powder, Cleansing Milk and Eye Contour Day Cream. I loved all of the products I tried. They work and feel amazing on the skin. The only thing about the line is that it has a high price point. The Cleansing Milk runs about $30 for one bottle. The Eye Contour Day Cream runs about $38. You can see this is not a cheap line. I also tried their Sunscreen Cream SPF 20 which worked great on my sensitive skin.
The third line that I tried is Jurlique. This is an incredible line as well. I did not find this at Whole Foods. I found it through other means of research. It however is pricey like Dr. Hauschka. In fact Jurlique was started by one of Dr. Hauschka’s protégés. All of the herbs are grown organically and biodynamically on the Jurlique herb farm in South Australia. I tried their Day Care Face Cream at about $34 and the Herbal Recovery Gel which is absolutely amazing. It sells for about $67. It is expensive but probably worth it. It even smells like fresh herbs and essential oils.
Depending on your budget and your skin type, I would recommend all of these products. They all work. It just comes down to personal preference.
Another recommendation for healthy skin: drink at least eight glasses of water per day. Doing this will actually help diminish the fine lines around your face and tighten your skin. I have also tried using organic olive oil on my face and virgin coconut oil. Both are great for keeping the skin supple and soft.

the comment about the IHT 9 herbal shampoo sounds completely false. i mean, why would a consumer mention the 10% discount!? and i’ve seen that on other websites the reviews about IHT 9 always end the same way~ “get a 10% discount!” sounds more like someone from the sales dept is writting these reviews to falsely market their product. i’ve written to the company many times and they do NOT reply to the emails. so, consumers beware…

My face cream has powerful antioxidants because it actually contains real blue berries. . .its from this organic and chemical free company called Made from Earth – Three Berry Face Cream. It has actual berries in it which are mixed with the lotion and applied to your face. Plus, I have sensitive skin and don’t put any chemicals in my body, and this one of the few face creams I have found that is 100% chemical free . .
Seriously – toxic synthetic chemicals in your lotions are not necessary. Human skin is porous which means that substances we put on our skin are absorbed directly into our bloodstream. This means these chemicals may end up in your liver or other organs. The Made from Earth skin care line is my favorite and I use the organic Adagio for shampoo
Yeah thanks
thanks…
thanks
Yes thats is a good idea. Thanks a lot
thanks you very much

I came across your nice website on the the other day and saw a some of your earlier posts that you did previously . I just added you to my bookmarks. Keep up the great work. i will Look forward to reading more from you again.
The Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer is a staple in my beauty regiment. Its from the Made from Earth skin careline. I didn’t used to believe in creams and other things to make my skin look younger, but a girlfriend of mine talked me into using some of the Made from Earth line – and since its organic and chemical free and I am a super healthy woman, I thought I would try it.
I tried it just to try to prove her wrong, but thankfully, I was the one who was wrong! This cream is a lifesaver! Eventhough it’s a little expensive, it goes a long way and is well worth the money – 1 bottle lasted me 3 months. My skin is so much firmer and fresher looking. My skin doesn’t look tired and worn out anymore, but instead I look refreshed and YOUNG! I can’t live without it now! Recommendend for healthy women looking for younger skin, who dont want to put harsh chemicals on their facial skin.
I am new to this blog and really like your entry on going chemical free and organic skin care. truly informative.
My first comment here and I’m going to keep it short & sweet as I have a lot more reading to do ! Thanks for the great blog, I know I appreciate the time and effort it takes to keep these sites current !
tenks good
I used the Made from Earth “Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum” for more than 3 weeks before I decided I liked it.
Initially I thought it was too light – but i liked the light scent. It reminds me off lemons. But I decided to stick with it and see what I thought after a month.
Now I love it. It’s light and has that whipped texture. It absorbs quickly and my skin is super soft. My makeup is going on smoothly and I even have rosey cheeks which I have never had. I haven’t changed anything but my moisturizer so I will attribute the positive results to this product. I like that I can use a moisturizer over it without it clinging to the moisture.
I would recommend the Face Firming Serum. Like any other I think you need to use the entire product to really see results.
