My personal favorite Certified Organic brands Part I.

Today I just wanted to collect my personal favorite certified organic brands in skin care. It's just a collection and a quick review. The reason why I chose the following brands is because of their mentality, their goal and mission, their natural, raw and organic ingredient list, their certifications and last, but not least because they have effective products. I am sure this list will grow by time. I also hope that this little guide will help you to chose that brand(s) that fit(s) you the most, if you just decided to use natural products and/or to get to know some other brands that maybe you've never heard before.

Lily organics

About Lily organics (from the website): "Lily is a USDA certified organic grower and a USDA certified organic manufacturer of natural and USDA certified organic skin care products. Lily was the pioneer in organic skin care in Colorado, since 1986. Lily Organics was the first and original Colorado organic skin care company.

Lily Organics Skin Care's farm is in Colorado and it has USDA Organic Certification. Lily Morgan, Founder and Formulator of Lily Organics says: "The USDA is the gold standard of the world. No other skin care company on planet Earth meets these standards, or follows these procedures to get the certifications that we do."

Her products and her laboratory can "guarantee the customer that they are buying the most superior product with the highest standard and quality."

They have products for all skin types and you can find one lip care product too.

Nourish

Nourish was the very first organic skin care company in my life when I decided to step on the "green road". Because of that they will have always a special place in my heart.

About the company: "We were the first beauty company to ever work with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to create a collection of products so pure they could be certified organic under the same strict standards the government uses to certify food. And in 2003, we launched Nourish—the world’s first USDA-certified organic skincare collection. In addition to being completely natural and organic, our products are also cruelty-free, gluten-free, and mostly vegan."

They are USDA Certified Organic of course and they have Organic Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO) seal, Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics’ (CCIC) seal, Gluten-free logo and Vegan logo.

All of their packaging is made with at least 25% post-consumer recycled content, and everything is recyclable.

What can I say? I love their products! They are effective, 100% natural and smells really good. What else do I need?

The company is located in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.

Bubble & Bee

Oh, how lovely this brand! I really like the little Bee on the package and the fact that they make it so cute. I personally love their products, the ingredients are all 100% USDA certified organic and they make it so simple. You can find hair products, skin care products, lip balms, deodorants, body washes and soaps. Their price is pretty decent too.

The company is located in Utah.

"There are other organic companies out there, but we're the most fun! Plus, ours are some of the purest products around. Another thing that our customers like is that we have a "face" and are approachable. When they call our number it's the owner of the company that answers. You can't call Tom from Tom's of Maine, but you can call me!" says Stephanie Greenwood owner and founder of Bubble & Bee Organics. How cool is that?:)

Stephanie also writes about chemicals on the "Chemicals of the Day" http://chemicaloftheday.squarespace.com/home/. I find it very informative.

So the Miessence products are created from my essence... from my love and wish for them to invoke the highest good in those that use them."Handcrafted via a unique and revolutionary cold formulation process, our precious ingredients are unaltered by heat or synthetic emulsifiers and retain significant quantities of bio-available nutrients to feed your skin.

100% Pure

Although 100% Pure says their ingredients certified organic by SGS organic, Ceres GmbH, Oregon Tilth Certified Organic, Hawaii Organic Farmers Association and QA, I don't see the certified logos on their site or on their products.

They don't use anything toxic, like synthetic chemicals, artificial fragrances, chemical preservatives or synthetic coloring agents. All of their products are 100% natural and we all know ingredients talk. For me if it's safe and effective, I am satisfied.
