Earth-Conscious Skincare
The Earth. It's where we call home. It's where we play, eat, and sleep. It provides us everything we need in order to live and thrive. The Earth is kind and the Earth is giving, and it is our responsibility to return this kindness that she has go graciously given us. That is why it is vital to engage in Earth-friendly practices, such as switching over to businesses that are Earth conscience and are thoughtful of its future.
Le Reve is Santa Barbara's only Green Certified spa, where one of our top priorities is reducing our carbon-footprint. We do our very best to conserve energy and water resources, and using materials that can recycled. Overall, our goal is to promote waste reduction, but also to promote better and healthier living in our guests. We choose to use all organic and natural skincare from companies like Jurlique and Eminence, who all practice in an Earth-conscience fashion.
First up, Le Reve Spa would like to shine a special light on the skincare brand, Eminence Organic Skin Care. This is one of two skincare brands that we utilize to the fullest at Le Reve Spa. Eminence prides themselves in curating wonderful and effective skincare products that are free of parabens propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfates, harmful colorants and fragrances, mineral oils, petroleum, and other harsh cosmetic chemicals. They also follow green practices in their farming, ingredients, products, and packaging. First and foremost, Eminence's farming practices focus on reducing their CO2 emission by manually planting and harvesting their ingredients, which are grown using solar and wind power, along with a natural compost.
Along with their farming practices, Eminence takes great care in their products. All products are handmade, so they forgo the overheating and hydrogenating (where hydrogen molecules are used to saturate organic compounds), which can lead to a decrease in potency and nutritional essence. Plants are harvested in the height of their vitamin potency, so your skin care efficiently aids in your skin's regenerative healing. All packaging for these products are recyclable and printed using environmentally-friendly inks, along with dissolvable packing peanuts.
Additionally to Eminence Organic Skin Care, Le Reve Spa use the skincare brand, Jurlique. Jurlique has many of the same practices that are mentioned above. They are an Australian-based company whose goal is to make the Earth a better place for all of its inhabitants. They have a multitude of all natural and organic ingredients that are specially curated. One thing that both of these brands have in common is that they make use of Biodynamic farming, which erases the notion of farms as factories, and instead views it as a whole living organism that is made-up of many interdependent elements. In which they choose to focus on following the cycles of nature and self-sustainment for the most part. Farmers tend to their land in a holistic capacity, meaning they choose natural remedies for their farms and animals against pests and diseases.
Overall, these wonderful brands are doing their part in keeping the planet in mind throughout their practices. They work hard to keep their skincare clean, while keeping the Earth clean as well. If you are looking for a way to be Earth-conscious, then start small. Start with changing out your skincare to brands like these, brands that care. Visit us at Le Reve Spa and we'll find what's right for you.
