Q: Have you tried Jane Iredale products? Any thoughts on the products?
So far neither of us have tried any of these products but in the interest of hopefully finding something new I went investigating. I went hunting around on SkinBotanica.com to see what kind of ingredients we were dealing with. So far, from what we can tell Jane Iredales products are free of some of the top nasties we usually avoid like parabens, phthalates, free of chemical dyes and preservatives, and are never tested on animals. So her products are a better choice when it comes to make up. Comparing a label off a Jane Iredale foundation to one of the “big ones” is a joke… you can actually pronounce the ingredients and they have less than 87 letters in each word.
Her products have won awards like Natural Health Beauty Awards Best Foundation Award so performance sounds like it’s not an issue. I can’t say with 100% confidence that all her products are 100% chemical free if that’s what you’re looking for. For example almost every product contains Dimethicone, and I have found one or two products that contain Phenoxyethanol, but in the grand scheme these are a much better choice. Compare hers to any L’Oreal product and you’ll see the difference.

A friend turned me on to Eminence Organics a while back and I was able to try a few of their products. Their lines all are free of parabens, mineral oils, petroleum and SLS and they have some really divine products. I got a few samples their DiVine collection which included a Mimosa Body Scrub and Mimosa Body Lotion.
Let me tell you, this stuff actually smells like a real mimosa – without making you smell like a drunk. It a light citrus champagne scent and the body cream is really luxurious. My hands are instantly soft when I use it. Pampering is tricky when you’re trying to go as natural as possible and these don’t make you feel like a hippy… they feel like a real spa treat. They have other delicious scents like Cucumber Mint, Pear & Green Apple and a Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel. It’s too bad you can’t order these online or I would – but they are available at select spas!
Get It: Eminence is only available at partner spas and salons – call toll free at 1-888-747-6342 to learn of a spa near you.
