CEf's Product(s) of The Week - The CARE by Stella McCartney Product Line

A designer who gets it! Care by Stella McCartney is an esthetically appealing and simultaneously power-packed certified organic skin care line which was launched by the designer in 2007. It is the first designer skin care line that consists of 100% bioactive ingredients. Stella McCartney is an eco-conscious vegetarian that shares my belief that a girl does not have to sacrifice luxury in order to make the switch to organic skin care. Due to Stella's organic background (she spent her childhood on an organic farm) and firm beliefs, it is apparent that she created Care for all the right reasons. This is not just another designer skin care line that claims to be "green" because it's products contain some natural and/or organic ingredients. The care products are not only ecocert certified organic and ecological, but they contain no animal or endangered plant species derived ingredients, are not tested on animals, and their packaging is entirely recyclable (even the paper inserts are recycled.) The name of this product line is perfectly suited for such an eco-compassionate concept.
The Care line consists of 3 elixirs, 2 moisturizers, 2 cleansers, and a toner- designed to be used in conjunction with one another, to cleanse & tone, moisturize & protect, and rescue & revive. The Care products smell just as lavish as other popular designer skin care items, but the fragrances used in them are all natural and organic. The chic and sleek packaging is sealed air-tight in the products that require it in order to prohibit the growth of bacteria, and are made of 100% recyclable materials. You can actually send the products back to the company and they will handle the recycling themselves.

I have tried almost every product from the line and have yet to be disappointed, My favorite is the Radiance & Youth Elixir. It gives your skin an instant dewy glow, and is gentle enough to be used throughout the day whenever you feel like your skin needs a quick pick me up. The only gripe I have is that the Gentle Cleansing Milk may be a little too gentle, and you cannot use it near your eyes so it shouldn't be used to remove eye make-up. I prefer my cleanser to be a one-stop shop that both rids my face of dirt and oil but also removes all traces of make-up. However, I do feel that this cleanser would be well suited for those of you who do not wear make-up.
