Second only to our products, we are most proud to be an eco-friendly company – from our green spa program to our dedication to using only wind power energy in production, so we are excited to get a shout out from the folks at Day Spa Magazine in their article on earth-friendly packaging. “Bubble wrap—any plastic product, really—is banished from packages from Eminence Organic Skin Care. Instead of typical stuffing, the green-to-the-core company uses pouches made from recycled/recyclable paper. They keep precious products from breaking or leaking and can be recycled yet again. Even if they’re thrown away, they’ll quickly disintegrate in a landfill.” For more on our Green Factor, visit us here.

Photos: A variety of memorable moments from this year's ISPA!

Loyal fan and blogger, Tami at fete a fete recently had the opportunity to talk about our new Berry Refined Collection of Exfoliating and Pore Minimizing skin care.  “If you need pore-refining, try the yummy-smelling Raspberry Pore Refining Masque. The texture literally feels like raspberry jam, giving your face an astringent effect. I like this masque a lot”  High in powerful antioxidants, vitamins, phytochemicals and nutrients, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries help to heal skin irritations and minimize pores.  Known to fight the look of aging, berries are strong astringents because of their high tannin content which tightens tissue, erasing fine lines and wrinkles, and studies indicate that they may contain some of the highest levels of phytoestrogens found in nature.  For more, check out Tami’s review here.

Beauty blogger Tres Poshe Preppy loves the Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel from Eminence…”OK, I know... you've heard enough about this peel but it's always a favorite and especially during this time of year, yum.

I've had the 20% peel done at my dermatologist's office and it's amazing! I love the Eminence line, such great organic products without all the harsh chemicals.”  For more on the review, visit her site here today.

When we unveiled the Coco-Luscious collection of tropically inspired skin care we knew it would be a hit and we’re very excited that a year later people are still responding to the line and noticing the amazing healing properties of the main ingredients, like coconut milk.  Healthwise-wisealternatives.com says that “coconut milk is fast becoming a natural skin care ingredient. It has a very high fat content and is also very high in natural fatty acids. Fatty acids are natural antiseptic that gently deep cleans impurities perfect even for ultra sensitive skin. It has been confirmed by skincare experts that topical use of coconut milk can help cure some skin conditions.”   When used in cleansers, coconut milk can take away dirt and oil from the skin and create a clean, soft, and smooth complexion so the site recommends the Coconut Milk Cleanser from Eminence for normal to dry skin types.  For more on this story visit here and get nuts about coconuts!

Eminence has proven to be very popular in India, with three separate publications highlighting our company and products last month.  First, Asia Spa recommends our Rose Collection Gift Tube and applauds the use of organic and natural solutions and ingredients in our products.  Beauty magazine suggests our Citrus Lip Balm in its collection of ‘Winter Wonders’ to feel hydrated, moisturized and velvety soft and Fashion in Life Magazine recommends our Mineral Cleansing Concentrate and Sun Defense Minerals as part of its feature entitles ‘Mineral Goodness’.  We are thrilled to be so well received in the East!

The new Ahhhpricot Collection from Eminence is featured in the January 2009 issue of Spa Canada, the magazine for Canadian esthetic professionals.  Including three new products and an old favorite, this new collection is incredibly relaxing and hydrating and is like magic for your skin.

The September/October 2008 issue of LuxLife Magazine out of California has a wonderful article on Eminence Organics and our products, history, and philosophy.  Face & Body Emporium in Sacramento, California, is recommended as an Eminence partner spa that offers a large collection of Eminence products and for more information you can pick up a copy of LuxLife today!
