Helps to sooth and calm while reducing the appearance of red, irritated skin. The relaxing aroma of lavender essential oil helps to ease strain and soothe the senses. When used in the evenings, Lavender Bath Oil ($29.95) gives body and mind a feeling of restfulness.

Lavender can be found throughout Europe. Its main properties are balancing and harmonizing.

Review: I'm not a "bath" person, but I decided to skip the shower and go for relaxing T & T (tub time). This bath oil is pure luxury without the hefty price tag. If you had told me about a month ago that a bath oil could induce a blissful slumber or make you feel like you're floating on Cloud 9, I'd have probably scoffed and laughed. I've never experienced anything like this with a bath product. I can feel the tension melt away - leaving me with a new sense of calm. It is very relaxing - much needed if you're having a stressful day or just need R & R.

Also available at Beautorium in Sage; for a warming, purifying bath or Lemon; for an uplifting, refreshing bath experience.

Review: Organoderm

Dr. Edward Jonas Domanskis, a practicing plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California has worked on the research and development of the Organoderm Skin Care products for over ten years.



Not only was the product line formulated with naturally bio-active and organic ingredients with the consumer’s skin health top priority, but the packaging was developed with recyclable components with their own Free Consumer Recycling Program on this web site. The absence of excessive and deceptive paper cartons and inserts is to raise awareness through conscious consumption. This not only helps protect our environment with less trees destroyed, it raises planet conservation responsibility in the minds of all consumers to reduce waste and diminish our landfills.


Olive Cucumber and Watercress Fresh Foaming Cleanser $22


This product can be used on the face and body. The smell is quite pleasant - smells more citrus than anything. However, this cleanser broke me out on the face, but I did'nt have any problems using it else where. It leaves the skin feeling squeaky clean and feeling a little dried out. Therefore, I highly recommend following up with a moisturizer.

This is my absolute favorite from this line. This scrub makes the exfoliating experience feel like pure luxury. The grains are fine enough to slough off rough skin without irritating it. The product itself has a very lemony smell, making it almost good enough to eat! Don't worry, I did'nt do that even though it was tempting. It had my skin practically glowing. This one will give instant beauty gratification that will have you lusting for more! However, this one didn't last long enough. No pun intended. Hopefully, they will make this particular product bigger for sugar scrubs fanatics like me to enjoy even more.

Review: Raw Gaia

A magical cream that helps to promote a vibrant and smooth complexion. It is especially good for mature skin, damaged tissue and to heal scars since it is made with MSM, which is known as The Beauty Mineral. Raw Gaia’s MSM is derived from Canadian pine trees. Click here to read more about MSM.

Note: Pregnant women should not use this cream since it contains essential oil of myrrh, which is said to cause uterine contractions.

Review: This cream is one of the most unique creams I've tried out so far. It literally melts at your fingertips. It is slightly greasy at first, but the greasiness goes away within minutes. I'm amazed how quickly it absorbs in the skin. The scent is also unique. I've been using this on my body since I feel a bit uneasy about applying this on my face even though it is vegan. My skin looks really good whenever I use it though. No breakouts from this product or anything! However, you can apply this moisturizer on your face when it is wet or mist one of their floral waters after applying. The jar it comes in is small, but a very little of this product goes a long way though. I highly recommend this product!

Five plant waxes seal in moisture and protect even the most sensitive lips while providing a soft, silky shine. Unlike conventional lip treatments, these gentle ingredients promote healthy lips without causing dependency.

Review: This is one the best lip treatments I've tried so far. I can see why this is one of Dr. Hauschka bestsellers! This "chapstick" ($12.95 at Beautorium) is the perfect remedy for chapped or dry lips. It keeps my lips moist throughout the day without having to re-apply that much. I also use a tad on my toddler's lips since his lips are usually chapped and he likes to pick at his lips. This is one product that does the trick - it doesn't only treat, but it also help prevents chapped lips! So now I don't have to worry about him picking at his lips and causing an unsightly mess.

Review:
There are so many anti acne treatments that it isn't funny, but most of them don't work. However, I'm not kidding you that this is the best acne treatment I have EVER used! I can hardly believe how affordable this is. I honestly didn't think this treatment would work despite the testimonials on the site. I used the products for over a month, and my face has been practically flawless. I broke out when I first started using this, but I was told to expect this since this is the system's way of purging bacteria that lurks underneath your skin. I almost stopped using it, because I broke out really bad! I was also told to expect dryness, but I didn't experience that. The blemishes went away after a couple days and I continued using it without a problem. I still have some of the Acne Treatment (the one in the green and white tube) left and I've been using it along with the Belli Acne Clearing Facial Wash ($22) without any problems. I say this since the other product I just mentioned did cause skin problems before. I say ditch your Proactiv and go for this!

Review: 100% Pure Dark Chocolate Mocha Shower Gel

“ As much as 60% of topical skin-care products are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream.” Say Dr. Nancy Lonsdrof, M.D. an lowa-based physician. “They should be consumed with the same prudence that we use to choose our breakfast cereal.” – April 2006 issue of Womans Health Magazine. There are many toxic chemicals in cosmetic products that have been clinically proven to cause cancer, tumors, irritation and many different skin disorders. 100% products are truly 100% Pure-no synthetic chemicals, chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances, artificial colors, harsh detergents or any other unhealthy toxins.

Animal fat has been used in soaps and lotions (pore clogging) for a very long time. Over 90% of every foaming product on the market is made from animal fat. Recently, there has been a huge increase in the amount of animal and even human ingredients in cosmetics. Human and animal peptides, placenta, umbilical, and numerous of other unworthy ingredients are being used in many cosmetic products. There are concerns of using human ingredients because there have been instances of viral diseases such as HIV being transmitted. There are also concerns of using animal ingredients because there have been instances of transmission of bovine (mad cow) diseases . 100% pure products are all vegan (except when there is honey in the formula, then it’s vegetarian).



Delicious and richly foaming 100% Pure Dark Chocolate Mocha Shower Gel ($15) is made with antioxidant rich dark Belgian chocolate and invigorating organic Hawaiian Kona coffee. This decadent, sweet foaming elixir is also made with Lavender Honey, Kukui Nut oil, vitamins, and antioxidants to hydrate, soften, and nourish.

Review: I'm not a chocolate lover. So this is the closest thing to chocolate I can tolerate foodie wise. Honestly, this product smells so good that it is almost good to sip. Judging by the bottle, someone could mistake this as chocolate sauce without reading the label. It looks and feels like, because it is very syrupy-like. I was'nt expecting this body wash to lather well. I was caught by a good surprise! It not only smells good and lathers well (without any cleansing agents), but it also cleanses the skin without making it dry afterwards. Sadly, the scent does'nt linger on after showering with this. However, this is the case with most body washes. I highly recommend this product. This would make a wonderful gift. It is also a great way to get your daily chocolate fix without the calories. Plus, the price is'nt that bad either. Some of the other scents that this body wash comes in are low as $12 (a few dollars cheaper). It might be expensive compared to drugstore brands, but I feel like this very much worth it if you're aiming for natural or organic.

This body wash also comes in other delectable "flavors": Honey Pear, Lavender, Fuji Apple, Organic Vanilla Bean, Fresh Squeezed Blood Orange Juicy, Fresh Squeezed Lemonade Juicy, Fresh Squeezed Lime Juicy, Tangerine, Strawberry Lemonade, Pink Grapefruit, White Chocolate, Nectarine, Juicy Pineapple, Honey Almond Milk, Virgin Coconut, Organic Peach, Blueberry or Organic Mango
