All little Organic Facial Anyone?

I became a bit of an Origins addict back in the 90s because my sister-in-law managed a Boston store while working her way through nursing school. Their products are a little slice of heavenly indulgence in a over-stressed world.

While the company is not 100% green, they have been making some eco-friendly strides recently including going with wind-powered REC offsets and now the launch of a line of skin-care that is certified under USDA organic food standards, and organic is good.

Origins has managed to clean up skin-care by avoiding parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PABA, petrolatum, paraffin and DEA. They’ve also been diligent about packaging using both Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) - certified paper and post-consumer recycled paper for the outer packaging of products - although this element could be considered over packaging. You can return any packaging to stores for recycling.

Origins is enticing stuff, green through or not. But Origins is getting greener with the organic line and this is good news for skin-care. So in the spirit of sharing (and the impending onset of winter skin) I thought I’d let you know you can get a free sample of Origins Organics Nourishing Face Lotion with a quick visit to Ideal Bite.
