"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." ~Aristotle
I believe nature is our best guide for inspiration - colors, textures, fragrances, designs, health, functionality and of course youthfulness - all the marvelous things are derived from nature, right in front of our eyes, all around us. I know it is not always easy being 'green' and live naturally , specially when it comes to beauty, cosmetics and skin care products. Fortunately there are more awareness in consumers and growing demand for products that are free of harsh chemicals and derived from natural ingredients. So when a brand harnesses the power of nature to bring efficient products to it's consumers, it is a beautiful thing!
One such great brand is Seventh Generation. Their products are as efficacious as any top brand, but they do it by using plant-based ingredients to create healthy products. When it comes to skin care products, all-natural and chemical-free is the only way to go. I have a huge problem with products containing parabens and pore-clogging chemicals, i break out like crazy! So when I got a chance to try Seventh Generation Soothing skin serum, I jumped on it. The serum is very light, absorbs quickly and doesn't leave the greasy residue or sticky feel. It is fragrance free (I could not detect any) and it is USDA certified for biobased ingredients. Natural ingredients like oat, Argan, Rosemary and Apricot soothe and calm the problem skin and balances uneven skin tone. As you can see, just one application left the skin my hand smoother, shinier, softer and more even. The bottle has a little nozzle, so you end up taking only the necessary amount every time. Speaking of nature, I find myself I am happiest when I am among nature. Most of the time our family end up taking vacation where we can literally be in the lap of Mother Nature. Recently we were in west coast of Canada and came back rejuvenated and energized - ready for the daily grind of big City! Here are some pictures from out trip - I can just look back at them and feel the soothing, calming feeling that only nature can provide! (Just like the Seventh Generation serum!):-)
If you want to know more about Seventh Generation, their initiative in creating plant based products and their vision for environmentally sustainable products, take a look at this video! I am going to try their soap bars next!!:-)
*Disclosure: I received a free sample of this product from Lucky and Seventh Generation. All opinions are mine!
Gorgeous images and am starting to pay more attention to organic skincare. I am currently trying Aurelia Skincare. My usual which I've used for more than 15 years is Liz Earle (it's a hard one to beat ;-) Also love Weleda.
