Raw Gaia
It's hard to find any truly "real" natural skin care products. In my search I've come across a company that has an amazing line that not only has natural organic ingredients, but is also RAW! ~~ it's called Raw Gaia! They use "only cold-pressed, organic and vegan ingredients, infused with essential oils and floral waters of the finest quality." They claim that their skin care line is made of PURE and ALIVE nourishing and beautifying ingredients, which retain all the life force, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids due to their low temperature processing.
This is how this company started:
"For years Lisa Lennon suffered from very dry skin. She had looked everywhere for a really good moisturiser, whose ingredients would get as close to nature as possible and that would be free of any chemical and toxic ingredients. Unable to find anything suitable, Lisa started experimenting in the kitchen and doing some research.
By that time, her and her husband Hector Bolanos had been following a diet high in raw foods for about five years. The principle behind a raw food diet is that uncooked vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and sprouted grains provide your body with the best nutrition. In their natural state, these foods contain much more life energy, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs, etc., than when they are cooked.
So it made sense for Lisa to try and develop a cream following the same principle. And since the couple would buy only organic food and are passionate vegans, she evidently wanted to make a product that reflected these choices too.
After months of trial and error, research and perseverance, Lisa came up with the first ever “living” skin care product, what is now called For Her Daughters Living Moisturiser. It was (and still is) hand-made through a special low temperature process, using only organic, cold-pressed butters and oils, infused with some essential oils.
Lisa was amazed with the results since her skin condition had improved remarkably within days! The reason for this was simple: all the life energy, antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and natural goodness in the natural ingredients were truly nourishing and healing her skin.
Lisa gave the moisturiser to a few people to try. The feedback and response was so wonderful that the couple soon realised they had a brilliant product on their hands and that without intending to, Lisa had created a completely new concept in skin care. The couple started selling this moisturiser and soon developed a whole range of living skin care products."
Can't wait to get my hands on these products!!!
