Girlawhirl loves that every time she shops she finds more and more skin and body care options that are safe and eco friendly to choose from. But truth be told, while she knows that she can find versions of all her beauty necessities that are gentle on both her body and the earth in her local health food store, sometimes she craves the luxury of department store purchases… With the introduction of nude skin care products, the gap between luxurious and natural is finally bridged. The idea for nude came about when Bryan Meehan, the founder of Fresh and Wild (the UK version of Whole Foods) saw that his well-heeled yet health conscious customers wanted no part of his stores' beauty aisle. So off they'd go to Harvey Nicks or Selfridges and put on their bodies many of the same ingredients they refused to put in them.
And so, the idea for nude was born. What makes it different from most of the other skin care items that Girlawhirl's used is that each product is designed to protect her skin's acid mantle (translation: natural protective barrier and defense against damaging external forces). It also keeps her skin naturally moist and hydrated by maintaining its good bacteria, called microflora. The formulations use pre and probiotics to balance the microflora and strengthen the acid mantle, fighting free radical damage and moisture loss. They also contain ingredients that target the signs of aging, providing skin with essential fatty acids, peptides and bioactives that firm and smooth the skin.
Girlawhirl loves the Facial Scrub, with its tiny rose quartz beads, because it doesn't irritate her skin, and the Age Defence Moisturiser is her new go-to potion, and not just because she loves the way it smells but because it also reduces the appearance of wrinkles and protects her skin from signs of aging. But perhaps her favorite product of all is the Miracle Mask, which uses alpha hydroxy acids, mandarin extract and red ginseng to give her a pretty glow.
Organic ingredients are used whenever possible, and if they're not available, the safest, healthiest choice is made. And there's nothing in nude skincare that wouldn't be safe to eat – no parabens, sulphates, propylene glycol, phthalates, mineral oils, silicone, or potential carcinogens. So now Girlawhirl, and eco-conscious shoppers everywhere can feel as good about what she puts on her body as she does about what she puts in it.
