When was the last time you went on the hunt for a home-made carrot moisturiser tucked away at the back of the health shop, now it seems the organic beauty industry is coming into its own. With so many natural, pseudo-natural, botanical, natural mix products, it is baffling for the average consumer road-testing the ethical lifestyle with so many ranges of natural organic skincare products to choose from. Instant radiance, brilliance, shine, youthful; these are some of the promises many skin care product on the market promises. For more of us increasingly chemical-wary, we prefer to go back to basics disillusioned by the hundreds of anti-ageing, chemically produced creams and lotions giving us that artificial boost. Now the trend for organic skin care and organic beauty per se has turned into a craze. The New York Times recently reported that sales of organic personal-care items reached $350 (176m) in America; in Britain the organic market as a whole has almost reached 2 billion, with a 30 percent increase in the number of health and beauty licensees approved by the Soil Association. Organic skincare ranges are consumed and endorsed by celebrities in the ecological overdrive. Over the past seven months, London’s large department stores are selling the latest organic skincare range to hit the shelves by Stella McCartney’s skin care range Care. Similarly, the organic skin care range Nude, another hot new organic skin care contender, places itself firmly at the high end organic skincare range. Created by Bryan Meehan, the co-founder of the British organic store Fresh and Wild, who after selling Whole Foods for a coll $38m in 2004, directed his investor nouse to the natural organic skincare market. Bono and his Ali Hewson are investors, expanding their portfolio of planet saving activities. The Nude range is also backed by the model Christy Turlington, who herself has her own Ayurvedic skincare range, Sundari. So with the number of organic skin care products vying for our attention in the burgeoning organic beauty market, how are we supposed to know what’s organic and what’s not? The answer: look out for the frightening words glycol parabens and you must definitely steer cleer of any products including sodium lauryl sulphates. So here’s a heads up of the organic skincare ranges to look out for when you head off on your natural organic discovery. At the top of the range of natural organic skin care is probably Nude and Care. Older ranges are also of high organic standard: Dr Hauschka, Spieza, Ren and Britain’s Organic Pharmacy. Liz Earle is probably one of the leading organic skin care veterans with her range. The Australian, Jurlique and A’kin are top quality too. Also the Ayurvedic organic skin care ranges drawn from the Indian science of addressing dis-ease within the body are of worthy mention too, these being Sundari and the Bharti Vyas range.
