Origins Organics: You Are What Your Skin Eats

Origins_organics Following up on the post below I decided to look into the Origins Organics Line.  It is a full scale line offering everything from face wash to lip balm, to body moisturizers to hair care.  The unique thing about this mass market line is that it proudly boasts the USDA Organic label.

Their motto "You are what your skin eats" is true.  The skin is a living organ that absorbs much of what it comes in contact with, so I can't stress how important it is to be fully aware of the ingredients in lotions and such.

I haven't tried the line yet, and am still deciding if I want to.  I really like the stuff that I use now, but just for curiosity sake I may buy the cleanser or lip balm just to see how I like it.  I hear the smell is very medicinal, which actually doesn't bother me, I have an aversion to that overly flowery scent in other products.

If you are truly interested in it now, here's a blog written by a beauty scientist who gives her take on the Origins Organics line.  She didn't seem to like it nor did some of her readers. Here's a blogger who actually liked it.

Whatever your choice may be I am very happy to see organic beaute going mainstream!
