Hi bixa525,
I'm not able to point out the best organic line but I'd give you some certified brand names in Europe (mainly German).
Lavera, Logona, Laveré, Weleda, Santé, Wellments, Tautropfen, Primavera, Dr Hauschka, Martina Gebhardt, Argital, SantaVerde ....
I'm not familiar with organic products from elsewhere but I'm sure someone else on EDS can provide better info.

Recently I ordered the Suki Intensive Complexion Brightening Cream from EDS. I love this mask and skin brightener. I intend to try several products from Suki. Decleor and Jurlique make some lovely products. Last but not least The Body Deli. |

What is a redlight handheld treatment? Also I would like some specific suggestions for helping sagging jowels and nose to mouth lines. I love natural lines but there are so many I have no clue where to start. If I could find just a few products that would target these two major concerns for me I would be very grateful. |

I am not combating any real signs of aging yet, but i can say that Osea's Advanced Protection Cream has given me excellent results in terms of clarity and skin tone.
Eminence gets a lot of raves here as well as Dr. Hauschka.
I have also heard many positive reviews for Devita's moisturizers (i read them on amazon.com). |

best organic exfoliant: EpidermxII hands down. Best organic toner: Janson Beckett certified organic cleansing toner. Lovely to use after microdermabrasion to remove all traces of the crystals. best organic masque: PSD pumpkin enzyme mask for deep exfoliation on a weekly basis.
best moisturizer for hands and body: macadamia nut oil from mountainroseherbs.com |

Aesop looks nice and I am a sucker for products that smell nice but I am in the U.S. so do they sell it here? |

I'm not yet battling serious aging issues, but I'm certainly trying hard to prevent skin aging! I agree with skincareaddicted that Osea is a good line to start with. It's natural and the ingredients look really good. I'd say it's one of the most active natural skincare lines. Advanced Protection Cream seems to be the most outstanding product from Osea. It's full of active ingredients, yet natural. However, when I used it last time, I didn't find it moisturizing enough so I had to mix some oil (sweet almond oil or camellia oil) with it.
Eminence Organics has excellent and VERY active masks. You can definitely feel them working on your skin! I wasn't so crazy about their moisturizers. They're just too thick and difficult for me to spread.
Naturderm Epidermx II is an excellent exfoliator if your skin is not thin or prone to broken caps. It's one of the most popular products among EDSers. Chrysalyx and Naturdermx are supposed to help with skin aging issues with long-term use. They're worth looking into.
Otherwise, Dr. Hauschka seems to be a very popular and well-known organic line. However, I don't find them active enough to treat serious aging issues. They're great for everyday maintenance. That's all.
I think the problem with natural or organic skincare products is they're not nearly as active as other skincare products so it takes a longer time for you to see any real improvement. If you decide to go down the natural/organic road, you have to be patient and stick with it for quite some time. |

specifically, is monochromatic(1 color frequency or wavelenght) red light. the most effective form of therapeutic light. you apply it on acupressure points. It's much like accupunture but wihout the needles |

I have been using Juice Beauty for about 4 months now, and my skin has NEVER been this nice! Although I have serious aging concerns, my big challenge is that my skin is still combination, and most anti-aging regimens are too rich for my skin, making me break out.
Juice Beauty, on the other hand, has cleared my skin tremendously. I have not had any type of breakout, including milia around the eyes, for the past 3 months! The line does not do much for firming and tightening, but other than that, I am very impressed. For a product junkie like me, the hardest part is staying with any product line for any lenght of time, but I have re-purchased just about every item of the line! |

I have heard okay things about juice beauty but I need something that will help with my aging skin. I am experiencing wrinkles, uneven skin tone and loose skintone now so I need some anti-aging ingredients but would like to stay with a natural or organic line. There seem to be so many lines out there but I want the one that is best for anti-aging. Which line do you feel is best for this? |

I don't know about any specific line for the aging issue (I am battling this too!) but I have heard good things about rosehip seed oil, though you have to use it for 9-12 months to see a significant difference. I think the more natural/organic lines are going to be like this, meaning that they will take a much longer time to work, but you could look for products containing some form of topical A, as well as a topical C product, and of course sunscreen. You probably can find this with any of the natural/organic lines. |

bixa--i urge you to try Osea's Advanced Protection Cream. From all the reviews (just do a search for Osea,there's not that many threads, but some are pages long), it certainly tightens skin and evens skin tone. The main active ingredient responsible for tightening is Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline (DPHP) and it's quite potent from what i remember from a search i did awhile back. It is an amazing cream and I think it's quite a deal actually for $96.00 per 2 oz. if you want to combat wrinkles, i would definitely layer a nutritive carrier oil such as rosehip (as rileygirl suggests) or avocado on top.
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/osea-advanced-protection-p_7470.htm
Description:
This High tech combination of sea minerals, amino acids, vitamins, botanical oils and trace elements stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles and helps to even out hyper-pigmentation. DPHP, the second ingredient is 65% more effective than Vitamin C and stimulates cells by tightening and toning tissue. The Red Algae combines with the Amino Acids and proteins of skins surface to correct imperfections and reduce the appearance of fine and wrinkles. This is the ultimate treatment moisturizer.
Ingredients:
100% Natural Derived Ingredients. Red Algae Extract (Chondrus Crispus), Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline (DPHP), Coco Caprylate/Caprate (Coconut Emolliant), Glyceride Wax, Cetearyl Glucoside (Coconut & Corn Emulsifier), Olive Squalane, Glycerin, Aloe Vera, Algae Extract, Macadamia Nut Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Capryloyl Glycin (Amino Acid), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Avocado Oil, Undecylenoyl Glycin (Amino Acid), Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate (Amino Acid), Calendula Extract, Retinyl Palmitate & Ergocalciferol (Vitamin A & D), Potassium Ascorbyl Tocopherol Phosphate (Vitamin C & E), Citrus Grandis Peel Oil, Xanthan Gum. |

is the osea advanced protection cream catered towards a certain age group and above? Or can someone in 20's use it as well?
Just the tightening info makes me thing is for those with sagging slightly loosening skin possibly 30 plus?
I would want it more for brightening evening skin tone then the tightening toning effect |

simran, i used it at age 26 (i am 27 now) and Avalange has used it since she was in her 20s. i think it is awesome for skin in the 20s and i would even recommend it to my teenage sister. |

Skincare addicted, Are there any side effects or negatives to the ingredient DPHP? I have read that using DMAE may cause cell damage so I am careful with using ingredients that I know nothing about. Can you tell me more about the DPHP ingredient? |

LOVE Eminence...also there's a small company out of Vancouver BC called YumYum - they're great too! (kind of hard to find though ;()
About Eminence Moisturizers - I found them too thick too, but one of their trainers told me they're dilutable w/ water. I just wet my hands how before using. Makes it go a long way, too. |

Im in love with Juice Beauty Green Apple Serum and Spf moisterizer. I layer these over my PSF vitamin C serum. My skin is a bit more plumped, clearer, and fine lines reduced. It did take some purging in the beggining because it has an abundance of AHAs and BHA in addition to many other potent actives, its probably the line of the most potent all natural products I have used. I have tried Jurlique, Aubrey, Zia and Jason products (all natural based lines) and have not had results like this line. The downside to JB is it doesnt reallly feel luxurious and moist or soft, but if you are looking for one product that does it all and you have combo skin like me, this also has-Dmae, peptides, alpha-lipoic acid, green tea extract, cq10, vits. a,c,e etc. |

I've tried a few Natural/Organic brands:
Neal's Yard Remedy, REN, The Organic Pharamcy
Lavera, Weleda, Dr Hauschka,
Juice Beauty
Jurlique, AESOP,Gorgeous
By far, The Organic Pharmacy is clearly my favorite. I like almost everything from them. The best thing about TOP is that most of their products are not greasy and very easy to absorb. And they also use some "hi-tech" ingredients such as DMAE etc. |
