For serums, I think Jurlique is unmatched. Cleansers, masks and moisturizers: Dr Hauschka.
Hair oil, body oil, eye cream: Weleda. |

| Pure Skin Formualtions (PSF) is my fave line. I've tried Eminence but I wasn't terribly impressed by it and a little bit pricey |

Everything I use would be considered organic skincare. The lines I use (which, of course, are the ones I consider the best  ) are Devita, Best Bath Store, 100% Pure, and PSF. However, I very much pick and choose the "star" products from each line.
Devita: sunscreen
Best Bath Store: acne gel
100% Pure: caffeine eye cream
Ok, I just realized that I just transcribed most of my signature. I also use other products from these lines (I haven't even tried all the products I'm interested in in these lines) and other lines as well. The line that's the most "one hit wonder" to me is Devita. Devita reaaaally hit the home run with that sunscreen, but I'm not that interested in trying their other products. I also like the Juice Beauty blemish serum, but I'm not interested in trying the rest of the line.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is PSF, which seems like a really consistent line (except for sunscreen). However, as of yet, there's nothing here that I "can't like without". The closest product to a star product (of the PSF products I've tried) is the PSF R&R Toner, which I do love and recommend (but can live without). |

Dr.H's eye cream -- very good, can tighten my eyes
Juice beauty - Geen Apple Moisturize SPF 15. dont like its texture and smell, not really fresh, seems a bit artifical
Aesop -- Parsley Seed Anti-oxidant serum - excellent. good smell lavender scent and moisture my skill even at night. I feel less oily when i wake up
Aesop -- Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream - Good at night
Do anyone use Suki
I am considering buying Suki's toner or Dr H facial toner. Do anyone give me some suggestion?
seems much good comments on Dr H facial toner but it contains alcohol? what can i choose?  |

| I truly don't believe there is such a thing as "organic" skincare. Product lines that I looked at still have ingredients that appear to be chemicals (although I know that everything in the world is a chemical!) that I cannot pronounce. When I have to use the internet to research an ingredient, to me it is not 'organic'. On other threads, I have read John Hill indicate that organic doesn't exist. |
somehow it's true, I am not sure if products contain alcohol can still be called "organic" as Dr. H products have alcohols... |

same here, although I really love to switch to organic, I don't see any good results with some of the products, such as Jurlique's herbal recovery gel, the texture and smell is good but they do nothing to my skin. |

In my case it did not help with anything - uneven skin tone, old and a few new acne scars, some acne, eye bags/beginn. wrinkles; neck, which begins to show my age, - nothing dramatic.
Jurlique went back to the store, Dr. H did as well, the only one which I did like was Rosa Y Fruta (my mom lover her body cream).
HTH,

I have to concur with that statement. maybe it's good for younger skin, not so much in anti-aging, for that we still depend on chemicals... |

The rose cleanser is really nice and they had a fantastic oil for the skin which was very costly but worked wonders for me personally! |
wow it is pricy, what oil are you refering to, is it rosehip seed oil? good for acne scars? |

I would love to know about organic pharmacy too.
They have a store that sells them in NYC.
I have several of their products at home (patience is not my virtue) and even though I loved the products (smell, luxirious feeling, pure ingredients, etc.) I did not see any amazing results (also most likely my fault for not trying them long enough).
Sean - please, let us know.
TIA |

| I didn't see any comments on Aveda products, I just had one facial done in a spa two days ago and my face still has the nice glow until today. Just curious if anyone has any experience with this line? |

AM, when you say "Pure Skincare", do you mean 100% Pure? If so, try searching for "100% Pure" from Manslayerliz, ginnielizz or Nimue as they've all written about the line.
HTHs!  |

I am SO glad I discovered this thread!! There is actually a ton of lines that I am more interested in than Stem Organics and PSF!! I've pretty much bookmarked all the websites of the natural products that were mentioned in this thread.
I also came across some users in this thread saying that organic/natural skincare is fine for young skin but that for more aging skin people would need the cosmeseutical chemicals. Has anyone discovered a natural/organic line that proves otherwise? Any suggestions?
Also I ordered a whole bunch of Kosmea products and can't wait to get those, my skin type is mildy oily with congestion problems (blackheads) on my nose, chin and inner cheeks and I also have some fine lines on my forehead, I am thinking due to dehydration. Is there a line out theere with a good deongestant products, ie, serums, mask, oils, exfoliants? |

This is a good thread, thank you! I am very sensitive to so many ingredients, most lines you list here, I had trouble with. Southersun not all alcohols are the same and Dr.H products don't use a fatty alcohol, they use alcohol as part of their preservation. Most natural and organic lines contain some really not good stuff, and silicones, which I really don't do well with. The absolute purest, best natural, organic, anti-aging product line, and EDS carries it is NaturDerm. They use preservative free ingredients, no silicones or parabens. I have never used products that gave me more dramatic results, I love them. The Triple Lavender Face Foam is, well delicious comes to mind. Nothing has made a difference for my blackheads and scarring like Epidermx II and Chrysalyx, and I love not having to use 10 different products, or toner!One of the few companies that uses pure Acetyl Hexapeptide instead of the Argireline, which has 3 or 4 parabens in it, that is the Naturdermx. I love their streamlined natural approach, makes my life much easier! I like the Burt's Bees products for my body and love their nail products. It gives me extra$ so I can spend it on my face!  |

| I also use Dr Haushka and like their products however I've used them for almost 2 years and wish to change a new brand. I think my skin's too accustomed to this. Am considering PSF after coming across this brand on the forum here. |
