Malibu-based OSEA, a longtime favorite of mine, (see where I mentioned their Eye and Lip Cream in an interview for Vital Juice’s Vital Spy last week here) is offering the Ultimate Undaria Gift Set this holiday season.  The set includes three items to banish dry, wintertime skin: begin by polishing pores with finely ground acai and pumice in the Organic Undaria Body Polish, firm and tone skin while repairing environmental damage with Undaria Algae Oil, and finish off by softening with Ocean Lotion.  Like their entire vegan, biodegradable, orglamic line, these OSEA products are 100% free of synthetic fragrances, genetically modified ingredients, petrochemicals, parabens, and sulfates.  Click here to purchase (with free shipping, yay!)

Awaken your senses with Amala Room and Linen Mist.  This beautifully scented, yet not overpowering, mist keeps rooms and linens (and cars, if you’re like me!) smelling delectable in an orGLAMic fashion.  The Peppermint Mist contains organic northern Italian mint to invigorate and refresh, while the Rose Mist calms and soothes with organic Turkish rose.  Amala also offers an entire range of natural skin care including polishers, cleansers, toners, masks and more and all ingredients are sourced from global fair trade farmers.  Click here to purchase the Room and Linen mist, and here to browse all of the company’s offerings with organic ingredients.

Based out of Australia, Stem Organics offers an extensive range of orGLAMic skin care for all ages and skintypes.  Instead of conventional petrochemicals, parabens, sulphates, dioxins, and artificial coloring or fragrances, this skincare line relies on organic aloe and unique ingredients such as it’s country’s native Kakadu Plum and Bush Flower.  The entire line includes various orGLAMic cleansers, exfoliators, toners, moisturizers and masks.  These fantastic products are available for purchase through the company’s website as well as in major retailers in 8 different countries across the world.

As the temperature begins to rise keep that beautiful, orGLAMic face of yours equally refreshed with Anti-Aging Mist from Intelligent Nutrients.  This certified organic, non-toxic spray not only perks up skin but also delivers potent antioxidants to prevent and correct signs of aging.  Free of silicones, parabens, petrochemicals and synthetic fragrances, my face has been feeling fantastic as I spray this on to prepare my palette (yes, I just called my face my palette) for serum application.  Click here to purchase the mist pictured above, and  here to browse the entire Intelligent Nutrients family of products, including hair care, skin care, aromatics and nutraceutical supplements.

Nourish your skin with this orGLAMic Face Balm from award-winning Balm Balm.  Available in Fragrance Free, Tea Tree and Rose Geranium versions, this product is 100% organic, 100% natural and petroleum free.  The scent of the Rose Geranium Face Balm, pictured above, sounds heavenly and it is made from shea butter, sunflower, beeswax, jojoba, calendula rose geranium essential oil. While this can be used on delicate face and neck skin, I am currently prepping my Los Angeles feet for sundress and sandal season and I have a feeling this orGLAMic product could help me say goodbye to dry, wintery gams and toes alike.  Click here for purchase.

While I am lucky to get to sample so many orGLAMic products, there are few that make an impact heavy enough to stay in my rotation.  Ahimsa‘s Evening Elixir is now a personal must-have that my skin craves every night.  A combination of raw argan, hempseed and rosehip oils, this vegan and cruelty-free product is 65% organic and 100% orGLAMic.  Just a small pump hydrates and improves skin elasticity while diminishing discoloration in the most soothing manner.  A little bit goes a long way, and at $48 this is a can’t-live-without-it addition to your skin care routine.  Click here to purchase this orGLAMic fave, among other great products by Ahimsa.

The sun is back!  The sun is back!  Make sure you are ready for it with orGLAMic sunscreen by Luvella.  This 100% natural, SPF 20 sunscreen has no chemicals, additives, PABAs or other harmful toxins.  The combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to provide broad spectrum protection for your skin without leaving a white residue, alongside the supercharged anti-aging ingredient Argan oil, which acts as an age-defying moisturizer, is divine.  Who knew being responsible with skin care could be so orGLAMic?!  Click here to purchase and here to check out the company’s organic, orGLAMic products.

Keep your skin bikini-worthy all year long with Janecka skincare.  The entire orGLAMic line is fantastic, but the Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub exfoliates dead skin cells while detoxifying and moisturizing as well.  Made of 100% natural ingredients, the scrub contains dead sea salt, oatmeal, sunflower, herbs, vitamin e and citrus seed extract.  I like the soothing lavender scent, pictured above, but the scrub is also available in orange and vanilla (all scented using essential oils).  All Janecka products are 100% natural, so click here to browse the entire orGLAMic line, which includes everything from mineral makeup and candles, to massage oils and linen spray.

orGLAMic is back after a much needed vacation!  There are so many green summer products out this year  that I can’t wait to get back to work.  But first off, I thought I would highlight the number one orGLAMic product that I cannot live without while traveling. 

Weleda’s Skin Food is the most nourishing and hydrating creme that I have found.  It is perfect for relplenishing parched hands and skin while traveling.  I even put it on my face while on planes!  While not all the ingredients are certified organic, I can actually pronounce them (very important since our skin literally drinks the stuff), it contains organic Pansy, and is scented by natural essential oils.    Check out the entire line by clicking here.
