The (Green) Apple of My Eyes

A Mom in Red High Heels Goes Green!

You are hearing a lot about “organics” and “Going Green” this month. What does it all mean? Organic simply means a product is spared the application of toxic and persistent insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers. Safer for you; safer for the earth! This could include the cotton grown to make your t-shirt or the apples grown for the fruit juices to make your eye cream.

Did you know that the word “organic” is not regulated in the cosmetics industry? Skincare products cannot be organic, as the USDA has not created a standard for this category of products under the National Organic Program. Instead, look for products marked certified organic- that means they use organic ingredients in their products.

A line popular for it’s certified organic products is Juice Beauty. Juice Beauty skincare is up to 95% certified organic. You can read for yourself why this company is on top of the GREEN movement with their products (They have been at it for a long time!).

The product that I own and use from Juice Beauty is the Green Apple Nutrient Eye Cream. The ingredient list includes so many yummy foods that you could make a salad with it! Some of the ingredients included in the list are organic juices of pyrus malus (apple) juice, daucus carota sativa (carrot) juice & aloe barbadensis leaf juice, organic cucumis sativus (cucumber) extract, organic plant oils of helianthus annuus (sunflower) & persea gratissima (avocado), and organic camellia sinensis (green tea) leaf extract. Don’t you love the fancy names for common veggies?

The cream has a light scent, pretty (natural) green color and lots of umph to smooth those fine lines we get from aging and motherhood! It feels really soothing. I try a lot of eye creams as my undereye fine lines are bothersome to me. I’m looking for the perfect eye cream and find this one to be one of the best I’ve tried. You can read other reviews on the product at Total Beauty.

I want you to start thinking about how you can make the switch to certified organic skincare. Juice Beauty is making it easy for you with some special spring discounts for online shoppers.
