My most recent read has been the book “no more dirty looks” by Siobhan O’Connor and Alexandra Spunt. I purchased it at the store Organic Avenue in NYC. It’s quiet fitting since what you put on your skin is as important as what you eat when it comes to your health. The book was an eye-opener but also felt like learning a second language with its long list of contaminants used in most cosmetics. It’s full of practical advice. One that’s easy to follow is to start a healthier skin routine with a natural or organic body lotion. After all the skin is our biggest organ.
This year I started using MADARA’s natural and organic body lotion. Initially I noticed that it slightly smells like hay and summer. It's no surprise since MADARA is a Latvian name for wild madders that are common inhabitants of the Baltic meadows. All MADARA skin care products are made from herbs and flowers according to organic farming principles. The packaging is incredibly pretty with its beautiful logo design inspired by the pattern of wild matters. All boxes, booklets and visual merchandise are printed on FSC certified paper that comes from renewable wood-pulp resources. But most importantly MADARA products are certified by ECOCERT. The ECOCERT label on MADARA’s ecobody product line guarantees that a minimum of 95% of the plant based ingredients and a minimum of 10% of total ingredients are certified organic. Another impressive number is that 99,875% of the total ingredients in MADARA’s moisturizing lotion are of a natural origin. Sounds pretty clean to me.
