1. Glowing Skin Treatment: Vintner’s Daughter
“Vintner's Daughter is the darling of the green beauty world at the moment, and for good reason. When people use it, they usually see results right away (which usually come in the form of brighter, beautifully hydrated, glowy skin). I can’t tell you how many customers we’ve spoken to who have raved that it’s the best product they’ve ever used, green or not! It’s a fabulous base for makeup as well, and it smells heavenly. I love that this is a local brand with San Francisco and Napa roots.”
2. Body Moisturizer: MyHavtorn Organic Body Oil
“Anyone delving into green beauty for the first time should think about what product they use most often. For many, that's body moisturizer. I adore My Havtorn's Body Oil, which is a beautiful, fast-absorbing blend of antioxidant-packed, essential fatty acid-rich, elasticity-boosting oils. MyHavtorn blends it fresh to order for us on their farm in Sweden, which makes it particularly special.”
3. Hair Treatment/Frizz Fighter: Reverie MILK
“Reverie MILK is, hands down, the best frizz fighter I have ever used on my own frizzy hair, and our customers agree. It's an excellent example of a green beauty product that actually outperforms its "non-green" competitors. It doesn't leave any sticky residue on your hands, it can be used on wet or dry hair with equally great results, and you can go to sleep on hair that it's been applied to without worrying about icky ingredients getting all over your pillow.”
4. Fragrance: Ellis Brooklyn Body Milk
“Fragrance usually contains phthalates, which many of us are trying to avoid these days; typically, though, the only phthalate-free fragrances you'll find are essential oil blends. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but if you're looking for a fine fragrance, you might be less than thrilled with the options. Ellis Brooklyn had the perfumer who works with Byredo develop their fragrances, and they are flat-out phenomenal. My favorite is Fable, which is a very elegant orange blossom scent with hints of black currant, violet, and petitgrain. Ellis Brooklyn put its fragrances into these lovely body milks, which pack a real fragrance punch and, I find, don't actually need to be applied all over like a usual body lotion.”
5. Overnight Skin Treatment: BioRecept NeoBio
“BioRecept NeoBio is another product that we get rave reviews over, typically from combination-skinned people whose skin has been looking or feeling dull or congested. It's a very lightweight lotion with skin-plumping hyaluronic acid as well as a unique blend of natural acids that address breakouts, discoloration, dullness, and clogged pores without sensitizing skin. It's non-comedogenic and fragrance-free, so customers with any skin type can use it, and men tend to love it as well. We actually had one customer, who recently turned 40, comment that she was mistaken for her daughter's sister two weeks after she started using it.It's amazing stuff, and it's only available at Ayla and at CityPharma in Paris.”
